Upgrading of an existing compressor house
thyssenkrupp Hungary (Jászfényszaru)Machine downtime was completely eliminated with ThermoBox D73 heat protection.
Problem
Their compressor room often suffered breakdowns due to overheating in summer and lack of heat load during the winter.
Inflicted by a poor construction, an inadequate compressor room ventilation resulted in frequent downtime and slow-down production
Our company was hired out to convert thyssenkrupp Hungary’s compressor room for a more reliable system.
Solution
Originally, three compressors operated in the compressor room where a new machine has sited. Each of these four units were equipped with our ThermoBox D73.
Ventilation has also been upgraded during the conversion of compressor room. Intake louvres were enlarged due to their smaller confinement in cross-section. Air outlet branch was fitted with a re-circulation louver, and by this heat recovering, hot air was simply transferred back to the compressor room – that was an unheated place earlier in the winter. We also address serious gaps by installing exhaust fans in the outlet branch.
We met a challenge about the relatively long ventilation system and elevation, but installing an extra fan in the outlet branch, it was able to relieve the load on the compressors’ built-in fan unitary. The system was completed by integration of two additional ventilation fans.

Result
The installed system has lived up to expectations. Even during the summer, which had been previously a critical season they can make it run properly without any downtime.
