Safeguard Lineset with Commercial Line set Cover
During any HVAC installation lineset protection is essential to ensure a long-lasting system. Often, it is also important to enhance the building’s aesthetics.
A building owner in Allentown, PA retrofitted the air conditioning system in his 3-story apartment building. This was done to enhance indoor air quality and temperature control of the living space. Dual Temp, a contractor outside the Lehigh Valley, had to find the right HVAC system for the project.
They decided on a split system with the air handling units inside the penthouse with exposed exterior piping “We needed something that would look aesthetically pleasing, so we could run new refrigerant lines up the outside of the building and avoid opening walls inside”, said Dakota Brown, Dual Temp’s service director.
Given the need to maintain and improve the architectural design and aesthetics, the installation team concluded that the optimal approach would be to set up two 30-ton Daikin Split Systems. These two Daikin systems would be positioned at the ground level, while the air handler units would be within the three-story structure's penthouse.
Maintaining and improving architectural aesthetics with commercial lineset covers
Upon examining commercial line set cover in the market, Dakota consulted Gerry Spanger from MarketAir. With a wealth of experience spanning over 35 years in the HVAC sector, Gerry concluded that Slimduct RD from Inaba Denko America was the perfect choice to enclose the refrigerant lines, offering a visually pleasing and professional finish to the setup.
Dual Temp had a seamless process of designing and installing the Slimduct RD. It was the ideal method to safeguard the linesets and improve the building's aesthetics delighted with the final appearance of the installation and is now experiencing a comfortable indoor climate.
Slimduct RD was the ideal solution, a commercial line set cover that encases the refrigerant lines while providing an aesthetic and professional finish to the installation. Since the Slimduct RD can be easily accessed, lineset maintenance can be performed quickly and effectively.
