The need of Humidity and Temperature Control units was raised by the contractor – Associated Airconditioning for Stage 2 fit outs of the Theatre of the State Government’s flagship secondary school- Bob Hawke College. Armcor provided a practical solution for temperature and humidity control where there is a significant requirement for fresh air. Where standard airconditioning systems cope well with recirculated return air temperatures up to 24oC, the HTC Unit can be designed to cope with much higher ‘air on’ conditions.
Armcor provided two units- one that was internally fitted and the other that was with the condenser and fitted externally. With a capacity of 3000 l/sec and cooling capacity of 120 kW the HTC3000P3-120P3 was put into production schedule along with HTC3000-90P3 with a capacity of 3000 l/sec and a cooling capacity of 90 Kw.
