Leak Resistant Casing

Air Enterprises' custom panel system is air and vapor tight. Equaled by no other in the industry, our structural casing system can be expected to have a leakage rate less than 1/2% of the total volume. This leakage rate is inherent to our method of construction; construction methods cannot be modified to provide cost savings to obtain greater leakage rates if so specified.


Our casing system will maintain its leakage integrity with no degradation for the entire life of the air handling unit. It is our experience that competitive panel systems do not maintain their "as delivered" leakage characteristics; degrading ~1% per year, maximizing at ~5% or more. At this point the casing system will require refurbishment (new caulking, gaskets, etc.) to improve the casing integrity. Following refurbishment, the casing system may be improved to ~3% with typical degradation to be expected.

Benefit:

  • Guaranteed system performance and cleanliness - by not allowing dilution of conditioned air with dirty, unconditioned air or waste due to leaks in the air handling casing, the owner is ensured of optimum air handling unit performance.
  • Operational costs savings - by not allowing expensive conditioned air to be lost through leaks in the housing, minimum operating costs can be maintained. Additional operating cost due to leakage can be calculated for your air handling unit application based upon the difference between the specified leakage rate and Air Enterprises equipment leakage rate. These costs are based upon the "as delivered" leakage rates. As the equipment ages these savings may be increased.
