Two revolutionary filtration technologies were introduced in Chinachem Group’s One Hennessy – AirFlexe’s Smart Energy Saving Sonic (SESS) Filtration System and Light Self-cleaning Silver Ion (LSCag) disinfectant coating, with the collaboration between Chinachem Group as the Client, Green Energy as RCx Consultant and AirFlexe as I&T Solution Provider and RCx Contractor.
SESS Filtration System is a patented technology developed by AirFlexe, applies on air handling unit (AHU/PAU). It uses sound waves to induce vibrational motion on particles in air during filtration process; and enhances filtration efficiency significantly without increasing the pressure drop of the air filter for reducing energy usage. The thoroughgoing design of sonic filter frame is with extendable sliding track, which provides flexibilities for different types of AHUs/PAUs; and nano filter technology on air filters with needleless electrospinning and ultrasonic stitching method, delivering superb filtration performance with extra anti-microbial/viral function.
Together with AirFlexe’s LSCag disinfectant coating on filters, test reports prove that it can eliminate bacteria and viruses including SARS-CoV-2. Filtration can be further enhanced for ensuring occupants’ wellbeing in this post-covid era.
The solution has attained both energy saving and antiviral initiatives in MVAC system at 26/F One Hennessy. 77.2% Energy Saving from SESS Filtration System, compared to traditional filters by lessen up pressure drop and surge of air flow. Projected energy saving 39,284 kWh per AHU, equivalent to annual saving HKD 79,354.
This system also integrates with IoT sensors, pushing data to cloud for data visualization and analytics. Various parameters were captured, bringing insights to property management team on energy saving opportunities. The application of energy-saving new technology shows Chinachem Group’s determination to strive a balance between of "People, Prosperity, Planet", and its commitment to creating a more sustainable and livable city, bringing positive values for the society.
