Temperature Control
Case study
Decathlon, committed and dedicated to sports, recently installed Sintra Pulsion in their Braehead store. With over 2000 stores in 56 countries, Decathlon, the worlds’ largest sporting goods retailer, continue their commitments to sustainability, and staff and customer welfare.
CLIENT: Decathlon, Braehead Warehouse
LOCATION: Braehead, Glasgow
COMPLETED: 2018
Background
Sintra Pulsion delivers homogenous temperature throughout the retail warehouse, with reduced lifecycle costs —providing a comfortable environment, responsibly and sustainably .
Cross Group provided the Sintra Pulsion temperature control HVAC system design, and carried out the onsite installation.
Cross Group have over 80 years experience in refrigeration and air conditioning, and are sole Sintra Pulsion® distributors for UK and Ireland
Challenge
With 11m ceiling height, accurate temperature control and comfort throughout the retail warehouse is a key focus. The roof skylights create excess solar gain in summer months, and stratification issues in winter lead to extreme and uncomfortable internal temperatures.
Solution
The Sintra design consists of a Pulsion Beam arrangement, which incorporates two Primary ①, and one Secondary ② Pulsers
These are connected to an external Lennox AHU, treating the retail warehouse to maintain temperature at +/- 1 deg C of set point at all times.
Summary
Decathlon use Sintra extensively across their stores in Europe and is testament to Decathlons trust in the unique Pulsion solution. Sintra Pulsion® provides very accurate temperature control regardless of the building height or dimension , with the added benefit of significant lifecycle cost savings.
