Fujitsu air conditioning splits have proved their adaptability at Just Fitness in Dundee where the units have been incorporated within a building management system (BMS). Supplied by High Cool Limited, the contractor Neutrochem has installed a series of heat pump ceiling cassettes ranging in output from 4kW to 14.1kW (cooling) and 4.35kW to 15.8kW (heating).

Just Fitness provides the full range of exercise equipment and programmes within a modern centre comprising fitness suites, aerobic studios, changing rooms, and offices. The internal environments of such service industries are particularly important, every part of the centre from reception, through the exercise suites and studios and culminating in the changing rooms must at all times offer a high standard of comfort, in which temperature plays an important role. The Fujitsu heat pump cassettes specified by Neutrochem provide heating and cooling throughout the new building, though the cooling load is particularly prevalent due to its usage. By interfacing the splits with a BMS, time switching and temperature control easily match occupancy demand.

A requirement of the installation was the ability for many of the cassettes to be installed in areas offering restricted access due to the positioning of other services. Fujitsu's 'Slender Fit' cassette was the answer. The Slender Fit mechanism allows the cassette body to be adjusted relative to the grille, reducing the height of the unit by 35mm. As a result, the already slim smaller cassette bodies can be reduced to only 200mm in height, with the larger cassettes achieving a narrow 250mm.

Other features of the ceiling cassettes include in-built computer controlled dehumidification system, automatic changeover from cooling to heating to match pre-programmed settings and room temperature, and energy save routine that automatically raises and lowers the set temperature to achieve maximum energy conservation whilst maintaining occupancy comfort.
