Actelion Business Center, Allschwil

The impressive building in the style of deconstructivism is the headquarters of the pharmaceutical company Actelion Ltd and was designed by star Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. The beam-like architecture extends over six stories and offers unusual views through and outwards, recreation areas with courtyards, and terraces as well as a modern working atmosphere for 350 employees.

Due to the three-dimensional stacking of the facade, 1,500 detailed drawings, 2,500 tons of steel, and 3.8 kilometers of lattice girders were necessary to realize the static load transfer. Innovative hybrid humidifiers of the DL series from Condair impeccably ensure an optimum room climate.

Patented HygienePlus® method

Basically, air conditioners and humidification devices are not sterile areas. Even when humidifying water of drinking-water quality is used, this is never completely germ-free. Therefore, microbes can always settle and form hazardous biofilms in humidifiers and in damp areas of air conditioners. Suitable hygiene measures are therefore essential to hinder the growth and propagation of pathogens in adiabatic humidifiers. The germ diagram points out the rapid propagation of microorganisms when no appropriate steps are taken to contain them. The patented HygienePlus® method provides for healthy air and a lasting hygienic environment.

Energy-efficient low-pressure system

The low-pressure mode of operation translates to significant energy savings due to the lesser compression work. By combining the Condair DL humidifier and the reverse osmosis of the Condair AT2, even a pressure booster pump on the humidification system becomes superfluous!

Schematic layout

Low-pressure systems generally get by with a significantly shallower design depth than high-pressure humidifiers. Due to the arrangement of the evaporator ceramics so that they cover the full area, and as a result of the spray cone of the molecular diffuser nozzles, the entire overall depth of the Condair DL can be reduced to up to 600 mm. Thanks to its compact design, the humidification chamber can also be shortened, achieving a significant saving in materials.
