Case Study Details

Client: Food Manufacturer
Project Start: July 2025

The Client

One of the region’s largest food manufacturers, running round-the-clock production facilities where reliable cooling is non-negotiable.

The Challenge: Failing Petra AHU Coils

The client was facing recurring failures in their Petra AHU condenser coils. Over time, the coils had corroded and lost efficiency, threatening both cooling performance and energy costs. Their initial plan was to replace entire AHU units across the facility — a solution that would have been extremely costly, disruptive, and time-consuming.

Our Solution: Custom Coil Replacement and Ducting Modification

Al Tabreed Industries LLC was commissioned to assess the situation. Our engineering team carried out a technical survey of the existing AHUs, focusing on the coil condition, air-side and water-side parameters, and airflow restrictions.

We identified that the units themselves were structurally sound — it was primarily the condenser coils that required replacement. This opened up a more cost-effective path: custom-manufactured replacement coils, designed to the exact Petra specifications, with upgraded materials to extend service life.

Alongside coil replacement, we also undertook new ducting work to improve airflow and overall system efficiency.

The Solution Delivered

  • Manufactured and supplied bespoke condenser coils for all Petra AHU units.
  • Implemented coil replacement and installation without interrupting the client’s ongoing operations.
  • Designed and installed new ducting modifications to optimize air distribution.
  • Delivered the project on time, with strict adherence to safety and quality standards.
