Many things in nature are built on the modular
principle. From the microcosm to the macrocosm
everything is based on small and yet smaller
building blocks. Nature’s possibilities for
multiplying these elements and assembling them
to create highly complex systems seem limitless.
For millions of years bee populations have been
building their honeycombs in a modular system
which adapts flexibly to prevalent conditions
and growing needs. We have learnt from nature,
Modlair is an impressively simple modular
system, flexible in use, by means of which all
the advantages of modularity can be put into
effect consistently in the construction of
ventilation and air handling equipment. The
heart of the Modlair system, the Modlair panel,
with dimensions of 620 x 620 mm makes it
possible to construct self-supporting casings
for ventilation
and air handling equipment from
500 m3/h to in excess of 100,000 m3/h
This system lends itself particularly well to
site erection from “flat pack” components.
Generally the baseframe, floor and rear unit
walls are assembled first, followed by the
components such as coils, filters, heat
exchangers, fans and so on. Then follows the
roof and finally the component access wall is
fitted.
The advantages remain after the assembly is
complete: with the Modlair system individual
panels and components can be dismantled at any
time. The modular system therefore provides
optimum conditions for possible later updating
and extensions, as well as for changing
components. Thanks to the self supporting
construction with Modlair there are no welded
seams and stiffening elements. This results in
maximum flexibility and excellent air flow
characteristics. |
