BYD Lakeside Showroom HVAC MVHR Project

We had an amazing opportunity to design, supply and fit a full HVAC with MVHR to the showroom and associated offices to the BYD prestigious showroom in Thurrock Lakeside, Essex

Hawkes Refrigeration2 min read

Fully designed by our in house team.

We supplied and fitted a full VRF system and heat recovery ventilation, with the inclusion to large open spaces of a heat pump cooling and heating system serving the workshop and showroom areas

Fully compliant and energy efficient.

Central controller function

Supplied by #Panasonic Air Conditioning

Large Spaces

Panasonic Jet Air Stream

PACi NX Jet Air Stream

  1. Energy-saving solution for year-round heating and cooling in large and high spaces
    • High seasonal efficiency : 11s,c 250% in cooling and 11s,h 155% in heating (25kW model).
  2. High air distribution for large spaces
    • High air volume up to 5000m3/h
    • Long maximum air throw distance of 30m
  3. Optimal comfort with Smart Jet - self-directing nozzles
    • Precise temperature control
    • Preventing stratification and maintaining an ideal temperature exclusively in the occupied area

Jet Air Stream: Perfect for large, high-ceiling spaces Large spaces are often heated with boilers and unit heaters, which are inefficient, noisy, complex, and expensive fossil fuel systems that rarely offer summer cooling integration.

The Jet Air Stream provides an efficient and sustainable solution for year-round heating and cooling in large spaces. It ensures optimal user comfort, a quiet environment and is much easier to install than other systems.

Jet Air Stream Smart 3-step operation in heating

  1. Pre-heating. Upon start-up, the Jet Air Stream Smart directs the nozzles horizontally, preventing not-yet-warm air from blowing on people.
  2. Rapid heating. Once the air reaches the ideal temperature, power is maximised and the nozzles point downward, ensuring rapid heating of the occupied area.
  3. Maintenance with air blade effect. Jet Air Stream Smart adjusts power once the desired temperature is reached. This aligns nozzles horizontally, creating an 'air blade' as a thermal barrier to optimise heat distribution and prevent upward dispersion.

a: Air stratification • b: Cold area around the worker · c: Volume not treated • d: Pre-heating - e: Rapid heating - f: Air blade effect .

In cooling mode, the nozzle operation logic is inverted until the setpoint is reached

R404A: Where the Rules Now Stand, and What to Do With Existing Plant

R404A has been banned in new commercial refrigeration equipment since January 2020, and the service ban has bitten too. If you are still running plant that holds it, the question is whether to retrofit or replace — and that is best decided on the numbers, not after a breakdown.

F-Gas Leak Check Regulations: How Often Does Your System Need Checking?

Mandatory leak check intervals are set by the CO₂ equivalent of the refrigerant charge, not the size of the plant. Here are the thresholds for R410A, R407C, R404A and R134a, how to work them out for any other gas, and how to calculate carbon loading for ISO 14001.
