Over years of work and experience, we are proud that Termovent's product range is now very widely used. Termovent air handling units operate in numerous buildings in Serbia and across Europe – one of them being Continental's production plant in Novi Sad.
Continental is a German company employing around 1,000 people in Serbia, 800 of them engineers. It develops and manufactures high-tech components for the automotive industry and is a prime example of the capabilities of young engineers in Serbia. We are honoured to have been entrusted with manufacturing and supplying the air handling units for the company's new factory, opened in March 2021. On this project we worked with Termo tim, the main contractor for CT Park.
Termovent manufactured and supplied five STD:pro air handling units with a total airflow of 174,200 m³/h.
Termovent has continued its cooperation with Continental through regular servicing of the units.
We asked our colleague Velimir Perišić, Head of Service and Automation in the Air Treatment division, to tell us more about the project.
I am pleased we had the opportunity to work on this project. Here are some details of Termovent's scope of work.
The air handling units were supplied complete with control panels and a control system. Termovent also handled system commissioning and user training.
The complete system is based on our standard AHU solution, comprising a Siemens Climatix controller, I/O modules and touch panels. Controller and touch panel configuration is fully tailored to user requirements (control of airflow, room pressure, temperature and humidity). Various additional functions are available, such as a scheduler, temperature compensation, different user access levels, trend views, current alarms, alarm history and more.
Field devices are from Siemens, along with Danfoss (frequency inverters). Equipment in the power supply panel for the automation system is from Schneider Electric, and signal acquisition equipment from Phoenix Contact.
All equipment was mounted and wired in the factory using quick connectors, allowing functional testing before delivery and fast, error-free connection on site. This shortened on-site testing and the commissioning process itself.
The system has been operating successfully for over a year, and we are pleased to have an active contract for regular periodic maintenance of the units. I would like to thank Continental for the excellent cooperation and wish them continued success.
