With thousands of people visiting every day, it is imperative that noise levels are kept to a minimum and that contaminated air discharged from the cars will not affect the public and customers.


Burj Khalifa, On top of the world

World’s tallest building, incomparable achievement of engineers, unique work of art - Burj Khalifa is all the above, literally and figuratively. More than just the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa is a splendid symbol of development of the dynamic and successful Middle East. Finally, Burj Khalifa is an impressive example of Dubai’s growing role in a changing world. In less than 30 years Dubai has developed from a regional centre to a global one. Dubai does not owe its success to oil reserves, but to resources of human talent, their ingenuity and creativity.


Carlsberg replaces old fans with new high efficiency ZerAx® fans

Carlsberg Group has stated as a goal that energy consumption must be optimised in order to reduce CO2 emissions and reduce the energy consumption costs. The ventilation constitutes 23% of the total energy consumption at the brewery in Fredericia, and the CO2 reduction contributes with 0.04 GBP per saved kWh in sales of CO2.

Therefore, it was primarily for financial reasons that it was decided to replace the old fans installed in the 1970’s with new ZerAx® fans. When the first fans were installed, they were not adjusted and therefore ran at constant full capacity in very humid  surroundings, in one of the bottling halls that works 24/7. The purpose was to exhaust the moist air and inject dry, warm air.


Cooling the world's most advanced cruise ship AIDAprima

AIDAprima, the first of two new cruise vessels for Aida Cruises, was officially launched on May 3rd 2014 at the Nagasaki Shipyard of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. It is the latest and largest ship ever built for the German shipowner. The sister ship, yet to be  named, follows in 2016. AIDAprima and the sister ship are the most advanced cruise liners in the world and the largest ever constructed in Japan. And with the ZerAx® fans built into the air handling units (AHUs), they are set to be the most energy efficient vessels in their class. Both ships are in this aspect truly next-generation vessels. The passenger experience is exceptional, among other things because Aida Cruises has gone to great lengths to ensure that the ships are the most fuel efficient cruise line.


ZerAx® fans make data center cool

A location for this Data Center in Northern Scandinavia close to the Arctic circle, has been chosen because of the possibility of using natural cooling for this enormous facility. This server facility is expected to be as large as 13 football fields, with an  estimated power usage of 120 GW, corresponding to the power use of about 16.000 households. 

The facility will have substantially lower energy consumption as well as lower set-up and operational costs in comparison to other modern data centres, and it will be one of the world’s most energy efficient facilities.


Siemens Wind Power chooses ZerAx® fans for their wind turbines

Complete and optimised ventilation solution replaces the entire current ventilation systems, both in new and existing wind turbines. The project delivery includes supply of three different fan sizes depending on the type of wind turbine.


Energy savings of more than 50% at Odense University Hospital

The 280,000 m2 floor space makes the Odense University Hospital one of the largest heated areas of the Danish hospital service. The total energy consumption for electricity, water, and heating is above 100 mill. kroner per year. Within this, the expenses for ventilation are by far the largest expenditure item in the energy field.

This has led to the completion of the first stage of replacing the old fans. So far 35 fans have been replaced. These new fans still work in conjunction with the older ventilation systems that were installed in the 1950s and 1960s – yet the savings have been  significant and immediate.


Significantly reduced sound level with ZerAx® fans at Aarhus Concert Hall

The Aarhus Concert Hall was opened in August 1982, and in 2007 the building was extended by 17,000 m². The completed building occupies more than 33,000 m² and has 500 rooms. It is visited annually by 700,000 people and provides a venue for more  than 1,000 events a year.
