The project at Melville Plaza in Bicton WA comprised of the refurbishment and reinstatement of the pool facility, new toilet and change rooms, a new first aid room, reception area and pool plant room. Armcor equipment was selected with a packaged air-conditioning option of 3500 l/sec capacity with 40 kw, two stage reverse cycle cooling. Using the Armcor polypropylene heat exchange media and internal epoxy coating, the unit is built to combat the corrosive elements found in pool equipment situations. Designed to cope with the external conditions of 43 degree temperatures, specific consideration was given to the coil selection so that the design would be sufficient for the air-conditioned space with an occupancy load of 85 persons.
