The challenge and the solution

Several thousand litres of water can evaporate from indoor pools in a single day. 
This moisture, combined with the presence of chlorine, can attack and erode the surfaces on which it settles, damaging concrete blocks, mortar joints, bricks, metal doors and lighting systems. 
Added to this, excessive humidity and inadequate air exchange can cause discomfort and negatively affect the health of users and staff.

In order to remove unwanted moisture from the pool environment and reduce potential damage, the pool had already been equipped with a central air handling unit, but as it was not made of suitable material, the uta deteriorated in a few years to the point of being unusable.

In 2023, the property therefore decided to rely on Clivet's expertise and install an AQX central air handling unit equipped with pre-painted steel internal walls, stainless steel internal components and painted fans to withstand the high stress of humidity and chlorine.

The unit is also equipped with a 'run-around' heat recovery coil that allows heat to be recovered from the exhaust air to pre-heat the supply air, increasing the efficiency of the system.
