Innovative ventilation solutions for the catering industry

MAICO implemented a custom-designed air handling unit (AHU) for a restaurant in a renowned fashion and art city in Western Germany.

The AHU was installed on the roof of the building and lifted directly onto the roof by crane as a pre-assembled, fully wired unit – a logistical highlight made possible by the smooth cooperation of all project partners. The final installation work was successfully completed together with our local partners.

This project impressively demonstrates how essential precise planning, flexible technical solutions and reliable cooperation are for the success of a project. The weatherproof AHU is installed on the outside of the roof and is specially designed to meet the requirements of the catering industry.

The system processes an air volume of 5,800 m³/h at a static pressure of 800 Pa. An efficient combined circulation system is used for heat recovery. Air conditioning is provided by an integrated DX cooling coil, supplemented by an external 30 kW heat pump that cools or heats as required – all controlled by the AHU.

The installed AHU meets the highest hygiene standards and was specially developed for kitchen areas. The air flows are strictly separated from each other and the system is water-based. Due to the high fat content in the exhaust air, the fan has an encapsulated design with the motor located outside the air flow. The exhaust air and outside air are filtered in two stages due to the fat content.

MAICO – Your partner for innovative and tailor-made ventilation Solutions

MAICO AHUs are developed individually according to the specific requirements of each project. Our customised units offer air flow rates of up to 150,000 m³/h, maximum energy efficiency and a particularly low noise level. The robust housing construction with aluminium profiles and snap-fit seals enables easy maintenance and ensures maximum operational reliability and comfort.
