A modern HVAC solution adapted to a complex technical space
At AirGreen , we recently installed a Midea wall-mounted heat pump in a building in the Saint-Laurent sector of Montreal. This project perfectly illustrates our expertise in HVAC solutions adapted to technical environments, where space, security, and efficiency constraints must be perfectly balanced. The goal: to provide optimal comfort while harmoniously integrating the equipment into a space already dense with mechanical systems.
Project background
The client contacted us to improve the thermal comfort of a technical room housing several heating and hydraulic control equipment. The space, already occupied by an electric water heater, an expansion tank, a circulation pump and a control panel, required a compact and efficient solution . The Midea wall-mounted heat pump was the ideal choice: quiet, energy-efficient and capable of ensuring precise temperature regulation, even in a light industrial environment.
Machine selection
The Midea wall-mounted heat pump installed in this project offers several advantages:
-
Capacity adapted to the targeted space (9,000 to 12,000 BTU depending on the range chosen).
-
High energy efficiency , meets Energy Star criteria.
-
Reliable operation down to -25°C , ideal for Montreal's climate.
-
Compact design , allowing integration without encroaching on the useful surface area of the premises.
Installation Steps and Challenges
Preparation and integration
Before any installation, our team carried out a complete assessment of the technical room. The main challenges were related to:
-
The density of existing equipment , limiting the space for conduit passages.
-
The need for a secure electrical connection, given the proximity of a panel and regulators already in service.
-
The obligation to maintain easy access to plumbing and heating equipment.
Installation of the indoor unit
The wall unit was mounted high up on a metal wall with a diamond-cut aluminum finish , a solid and durable support. This choice not only provides a professional aesthetic but also increased safety in the event of condensation or splashing.
Connection management
-
The refrigeration pipes have been carefully insulated to prevent any loss of efficiency.
-
The electrical wiring was integrated into a suspended cable tray, ensuring an installation that was both tidy and safe.
-
The condensation drain has been designed to prevent any infiltration into the technical room.
Results obtained
After commissioning, the Midea heat pump demonstrated rapid and stable room temperature regulation. Technicians confirmed:
-
A minimal noise level , essential in a technical room where several pieces of equipment operate simultaneously.
-
Energy stability that helps reduce the load on the building's main system.
-
An immediate improvement in comfort and climate management in the space.
Subsidies and customer benefits
Thanks to its energy efficiency, the installed Midea heat pump is eligible for grant programs such as LogisVert and energy efficiency credits available on the North Shore, South Shore, Laval, and Montreal. Our team assisted the client in preparing the necessary documents, a value-added feature appreciated in this type of project.
