Location
Metro Detroit, Michigan
Background
Miller Industries has been a trusted partner to large automotive manufacturers and was tasked with building a total of 54 AHUs for a manufacturer’s expansion outside of Detroit, Michigan.
Total of 54 AHUs:
- 35 Outdoor Units HW & CHW Cooney Freeze Block Coils & Smart Coil Systems
- 19 Indoor units HW & CHW Coils with Energy Recovery Coils
Challenge
Freeze Protection Alternative to Glycol:
The outdoor air handling units pose a significant risk of freezing coils when
exposed to the cold air in the Detroit winter. Glycol was historically used as an antifreeze to protect HVAC coils in these cold climates. However, the lack of efficiency and high cost of operating glycol did not fit into the manufactures green initiative and energy goals.
Solution
Efficient & Reliable Freeze Protection
The engineering team sought a solution to eliminate glycol in order to increase efficiency. As a result, all hot water and chilled water coils on the outdoor AHUs have Freeze Block Technology installed and utilize water. This patented technology allows the coils to freeze without rupturing, while the Smart Coil system monitors when freezing events occur and triggers the building automation system to run a sequence of events to save the system from damage.
