Posted on by Tim Austin

Air conditioner hardship bonus

PAC 3500 air conditioning unit for everyone who would normally have to sweat it out! Your thermometer is the key to success: save as you sweat!

Following our highly-successful early-bird discount which we introduced for the TTK 100 S dehumidifier, we now have another amazing savings campaign waiting in the wings. This time we decided to focus on the PAC 3500 air conditioning unit in order to offer you premium performance and quality but without the premium price tag.

The idea: we pay special attention to the needs of all our unfortunate customers who normally have to sweat it out when temperatures start to soar. Some offices and apartments are really starting to hot up now, especially those in converted lofts or studios.

But help is at hand! Because from 17 July to 17 August 2009 everybody whose thermometer rockets skywards can get a PAC 3500 air conditioning unit at a price which will make you to melt: a 20% discount on the original price if your thermometer hits 20 °C, and an astonishing 30% off when the temperature in one of your rooms or your office reaches 30 °C. But only on one condition: go here to upload your photographic proof in our specially designed hardship application form.

We are really looking forward to receiving thousands and thousands of super photos, one or two nice little hardship anecdotes and also to helping all those concerned in keeping a cool head with our compact and now even more favourably-priced PAC 3500 air conditioning unit.

By the way: the idea for our new campaign came from an e-mail which one of our customers sent to us. Yet another demonstration of how big a part customer service and satisfaction plays for Trotec.

Is it possible to dry screeds with an insulation layer or a floor heating only with dehumidifiers?

Posted on by Tim Austin

For obvious reasons we want to respond to a frequently asked question of our customers: most people concerned of a water damage want to know if it is possible to dry screeds with an insulation layer or a floor heating only by the use of a dehumidifier.

There’s one simple answer on this question: No. Drying (only) by the use dehumidifiers isn’t possible!

If there’s stagnate water on the floor after a flooding or a water damage and if there’s a screed layer with an insulation layer or a floor heating benath the top layers (like a carpet, laminate or flaggings) the water runs through the edge trims and expansion joints in this area of the insulation layer in 99% of the time.

The water “stands” under the screed now. If you deploy a dehumidifier it is possible to dry the screed’s surface indeed, but the water stays in the insulation layer beneath. The creation of odour and mould starts normally after a few weeks due to natural decomposition. An unpleasant rotten odour and blotches of mould along the under areas of the walls are the consequences. The water in the insulation dryer is “lifted up” by the wall and it’s plaster. This so-called capillary attraction can be compared with a flower in a vase. Because of these facts only using a dehumidifier at insulation layers under screeds isn’t enough.

For desiccation of constructions of screeds and insulation layers we recommend the service of an expert company with special equipment for desiccation of insulation layers. If the water made its way under the insulation layers specific processes will be deployed one by one.

At first there should be measurements for determining a leakage or the determination of the water already being under the insulation layer. Then drillings through the construction function as entries for special appliances which suction the water and dry the insulation layer. If you have a natural hazard insurance a water damage is normally covered.

Entire removal of odour nuisance

Posted on by Tim Austin

Not only after major incidents like fire damages odour nuisance is a consequential loss. Even after small water damages a mouldy odour can disturb your interior climate and also be harmful for your health. There can be an odour nuisance because of dead gnawers or small birds in openings of your house or flat they couldn’t leave. And also reorganisation measures  – paint, glue and varnish – up to a typically smell of new buildings can cause an odour nuisance which has to be removed very fast.

Plasma field ionizer AirgoPro 8
Plasma field ionizer AirgoPro8

One possibility to get rid of the odour is to change the air in a room regularly. If this method doesn’t work most people try to fight the odour with different flavours. So-called aerosols enclose the odour molecule and it doesn’t „smell“ anymore. But if the substance is used up the odour nuisance comes back.

A known alternative available on the market are odour neutralisers. They don’t enclose the odour with other scenting agents, but they break it down chemically – so the odour is simply gone.

In this case ozone generators or plasma field ionizers are used in practice. Depending on the type of odour one of the applications is chosen in each case to “neutralise” it.

How do odour neutralisers work?

Ozone generator Airozone Supercracker
Ozone generator Airozon Supercracker

Ozone generators subject sucked in air to a so-called corona discharge. That means that atomic oxygen is produced continuously, a free radical which leads to the generation of O3 – ozone. The radicals generated in the appliance accelerate the oxidative degeneration of airborne and stationary germs and contaminants (e.g. in floors, walls, ceilings) and lead to an odour neutralisation. Ozone is very harmful for your health and it is only allowed to use it in closed and sealed rooms and only authorized personnel is allowed to use it. This extremely reactive oxidising agent is almost only used for restructuring after fire damages.

The functioning principle of plasma field ionizers (pfi) [AirgoPro8] is comparable to that of ozone generators with the difference that they require a lower energy input. The air directed through the appliance is subjected to a corona discharge (ionisation). The fission products only formed within the fixed plasma are made of singulett oxygen and its modifications and atomic oxygen as a free radical. Due to the pfi principle oxygen (O2) is split into 2 x O1. The radical O1 tries to react with something immediately and splits the odour molecule. The odour is removed and not enclosed with scenting agents like those used at “Fogging”.

Not like ozone generators pfi appliances can even be operated in occupied rooms.

Air conditioning unit PAC 3500: Now having energy efficiency class A

Posted on by Tim Austin
Air conditioning unit PAC 3500
Air conditioning unit PAC 3500

Air conditioning units don’t have to be electricity gobblers. The best example is the mobile air conditioning unit PAC 3500 of our latest generation of devices. This monoblock device awarded energy efficiency class A. So the PAC 3500 has got a very high cooling capacity and a very low energy consumption.

But listen up…

The efficiency of a PAC 3500 can be increased by an AirLock 100, our latest product. It’s a window seal with a gap where the exhaust hose has to be put. So the window is sealed and hot air and insects have to stay outside.

Air conditioning units vs. air coolers

Posted on by Tim Austin

An air conditioning unit or an air cooler? This question is very important for a lot of customers if they are going to buy an air conditioning unit. That’s why we are going to explain the main differences between both devices and why Trotec doesn’t produce air coolers.

Round 1: Complexity.
Air coolers are equipped with a tank. This tank is filled with cool water. Some devices even use ice cubes. That implies a great effort because you have to fill the tank yourself over and over!

The monoblock – air conditioning unit PAC 3500 uses just like the split – air conditioning unit PAC 4400 an environmentally friendly refrigerant. This refrigerant is included in the scope of supply and doesn’t have to be refilled!
Result: That’s one for the air conditioning units.

Round 2: Humidity.

An air cooler directs sucked in ambient air via a filter or another splitter directly to the fans so that the air gets back into the room. The problem is that the air is being enriched with water you filled in before. So the ambient air will get wet and sticky very fast.

PAC 4400Air conditioning units like the PAC 3500 and PAC 4400 suck in the ambient air, filter and dehumidify it and lead it back into the room. The result is that the room temperature is reduced verifiable and the air is clean, filtered and dehumidified. A very well pleasure on hot and sticky days. Real air conditioning is dehumidifying, too. Even if PAC – air conditioning units aren’t able to cool a whole floor because of its ambient air circulation the climate in nearby rooms can be improved appreciably. Through open doors the dehumidified air can get into nearby rooms. Drier hot air is much more pleasant and passable than wet and sticky heat. So the whole floor or flat has got a pleasant climate.
Result: That’s one for the air conditioning units again.

Round 3: Cooling.

Basically an air cooler is just a fan fed with ice cubes. A fan first seems to cool a room, too, but a fan only moves hot air. If an air cooler would effectively cool the ambient air, hot air would be lead away. But an air cooler isn’t equipped with such a feature! No device needs to lead away hot air if it isn’t simply able to cool it.

The air conditioning units PAC 3500 and PAC 4400 lead away hot air verifiable. A monoblock – air conditioning unit via an exhaust hose which leads through a window out of the room and a split – air conditioning unit via an external heat exchanger.

Result: Finally the air conditioning unit is the winner and the air cooler loses.

Trust in the winner of the Trotec cooling competition.

“Floating” work tent used at pit works

Posted on by Tim Austin

TROTEC work tent used for cable layings

Work tent at cable layings
Work tent at cable layings

This is a short article about the practical use of our work tents.
In Heinsberg the work tent 180×250 KE was used for cable layings. But there was a problem: the hole was larger than the work tent. Nevertheless the work tent could be fixed safe by means of nylon ropes. Therefore the back of the work tent was placed on the edge of the hole. The work tent didn’t have any other contact to the ground and so it was floating.

Easy access to the cables was possible because of this advantage and all cables could be reached for necessary works.

Due to the many possibilities for fixing the work tent it is flexibly usable.
