Innovative Pool Ventilation for Prestigious Belgravia Home
Overview
Recotherm were instructed by Pool Court Ltd, a renowned UK pool construction company, to design a bespoke air handling unit for a unique project at a prestigious residential property located in Belgravia, London.
Challenges
There were various design challenges to overcome on this project:
- The unit needed to be installed in the basement with limited access
- The swimming pool area featured a rising floor, allowing for flexible use of the space
- The client desired a ventilation solution capable of handling a substantial cooling load to maintain a comfortable environment during events
- The property was subject to strict local planning regulations prohibiting the use of exterior condensing units normally needed for cooling
Solution
Recotherm developed a one-of-a-kind swimming pool ventilation unit.
Integrating the condensing element of the refrigeration process into the unit we overcame the local authority’s restriction whilst also providing efficient and effective ventilation that could adapt to changing floor configurations. The basement access was overcome by utilising our flat pack process and building the unit within the plant room.
The unit included three fans to ensure the system could operate on full fresh air even when the condenser was running at full speed. This design guaranteed efficient cooling while maintaining optimal air quality during crowded events.
Engineered to prioritise the use of fresh air cooling whenever possible, the unit utilises the extra power required by the refrigeration circuit only when necessary. This approach maximises energy efficiency and reduces overall power consumption. This bespoke solution demonstrates a commitment to delivering customised, intelligent solutions that ensure exceptional performance, energy efficiency, and enhanced comfort for Pool Court’s valued client.
