System installed at the hotel, in Liwa Oasis, in 18 days, says manufacturer
Nearly 200 SAV MonoLink Modules have been supplied to the Hotel Caravanserai project at Liwa in southern Abu Dhabi, announced SAV Systems, adding that commissioning is a major factor in the design and installation of air conditioning systems in the UAE, where application of US LEED Green Building Ratings requires employment of a Commissioning Authority.
SAV Systems, provider of building services solutions, has patented the MonoLink design, which incorporates a single casting for the cross-over/bypass section requiring fewer joints that might be disturbed during installation or maintenance.
The MonoLink concept is fully assembled and tested off site and delivered complete with 500mm braided stainless steel hoses that are impervious to dust, says SAV Systems. The product, therefore, offers specifiers the option of an ultra compact connection system for fan coils that can drastically reduce installation and commissioning time. The prepackaged assembly combines all the components required for flushing and commissioning the system into a single, compact unit that will fit in the tightest corners. Thanks to the FitraCim combined ball valve and strainer fitted on the flow side, it is possible to clear out debris without having to drain down the fan coil.
According to SAV Systems, the time taken to meet the contract from initial contact to delivery ready for installation at the hotel was 18 days.
Hotel Caravanserai, located in the Liwa Oasis, is considered to be the gateway to the Rub al Khali desert – the legendary Empty Quarter – 780,000 kilometres of rolling dunes and one of the world’s largest continuous deserts.
The new hotel has been built on a fast track programme aimed at opening in time for the next meeting in the 10-year camel racing cycle.
