HVAC Solutions for
Life Sciences Facilities

We know you need the highest level of air quality, and our HVAC solutions not only ensure efficient ventilation but also provide the best total cost of ownership.

Gain Peace of Mind with HVAC Solutions that Protect Critical Processes

Some of the most critical processes, like aseptic manufacturing for vaccines and infectious disease research, occur within life sciences facilities. These sensitive processes require extremely clean environments to protect people, equipment, and the environment.

If cross-contamination occurs in the drug manufacturing process, patients could suffer fatal consequences. Further, if viruses or infectious diseases escape a facility, a deadly outbreak could occur. Ultimately, the effectiveness of a life sciences facility’s ventilation and air filtration system could be the difference between life and death.

Even a small percentage of contaminants that aren’t ventilated could put lives in jeopardy, especially in cleanrooms – controlled, sterile environments where pharmaceutical drugs are prepared and filled. Needless to say, a high-performing HVAC system that removes harmful contaminants and keeps deadly substances contained is absolutely critical for everyone’s safety.

Handlers

Our team can provide custom all-aluminum air handling units that are fully wash-down capable for your process. Downtime can cost thousands of dollars, so we design units for as much redundancy as your process requires.

Freeze Block Coils

Freeze Block
Coils

An air handling unit is only as good as the material contained within it, and coils are a vital piece of equipment. However, coils are prone to rupture in freezing temperatures, causing the system to fail in a facility that requires pristine air at all times. Our smart coils prevent ruptures, which protects your people, process, and facility from damage and disruption.

Hydronic Control Valves

Valves

Each room in a facility has different temperature requirements. Our valves give you the control you need to ensure maximum occupant comfort.

Energy Recovery Wheels
