Restaurants

Restaurants and diners contend with fluctuating occupant loads, demanding adaptable air conditioning (AC) and heat pump (HP) systems. The ebb and flow of customers throughout the day necessitates HVAC units capable of adjusting to changing occupancy levels.

The Challenge

Restaurants Air conditioning systems must allow make-up air to be provided for the kitchen for safe food production while controlling humidity levels for employees and dining room guests. Quick-serve restaurants often experience random temperature and humidity spikes from infiltration as occupancy varies during meal time rushes.

The Solution

The Rawal APR Control provides the needed capacity control for temperature and humidity mitigation and improved AC and HP (cooling) performance. The APR delivers consistent overall occupant comfort, while yielding safe and proper food preparation and storage.
