Zamil Air Conditioners (ZAC), a leading international manufacturer of air-conditioning systems in the Middle East, has become the first Middle Eastern company to achieve the newest Eurovent certification for its air handling units (AHU) TW/TW (H) Series.

“ZAC units have successfully passed the requirements of the new Eurovent regulations OM-5-2006, which mandate tolerances between the calculated values and the measured values of only +/- 2 per cent for air quantities, air pressure drops, cooling media pressure drops, cooling capacities, heating capacities, energy wheel heat recovery performance, and filtration,” says a spokesman. “Previous regulations 6/C/005-1999 included tolerances of +/- 10 per cent.”
“Eurovent is a capacity/performance certification that has been made mandatory in Europe and is quickly becoming the operational standard around the world. The Eurovent certification programme for AHU supplies a common platform for product evaluation, providing consultants, contractors and consumers with the confidence that product operation will be consistent with the stated performance data. Compliance with the stringent new Eurovent regulations, published in November 2006, gives ZAC’s AHU product line and the selection software – ClimCalc – added reliability and value, as both completed compliance testing successfully, he says.
ZAC will add the Eurovent certification to its growing list of important industry certificates, including the ISO 9001:2000 certification, AHAM, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) and Saudi Arabian Standards Organisation (Saso), among others.
