Therma-Fuser™ VAV Diffusers Deliver Years of Worry-Free Individual Space Temperature Control to Robins AFB NCO Academy.

Robins AFB

Robins Air Force Base (AFB) NCO Academy provides professional military education (PME) for military personnel. The Academy's students work in a comfortable learning environment with temperature controlled by Therma-Fuser™ VAV diffusers from Acutherm.

According to Roger Knight, supervisor of systems maintenance for Robins Air Force Base, the Therma-Fuser units provide the individual space temperature control required by the military—and, they are maintenance-free. Since opening its doors in 1988, not a single unit has required service or been replaced.

"With a 10-year warranty, the Therma-Fuser units are a simple, effective and maintenance-free way to provide individual temperature control."

Roger Knight, Systems Maintenance Supervisor, Robins Air Force Base

Highlights

  • The system was installed using a sensor in the air handler return unit, which was then linked to electronic controls for two-stage heat pumps.
  • The heat pumps are activated if the temperature drops below 73°F or rises above 76°F. A forward curved AHU fan runs continuously.
  • The Therma-Fuser HC units’ controls are built in and preset to maintain temperature to within two degrees of the set point.
