CIAT provides the air handling for the new Louvre-Lens museum (France)

60 CIAT air handling units have been installed at the recently opened Louvre-Lens museum in northern France to filter the air and maintain humidity and temperature at optimum levels in the museum's galleries, storage rooms and restoration workshops.

 700,000 visitors are expected to pass through the doors of the museum in 2013 and 500,000 the following years. To ensure their collections are well preserved, the museum must maintain temperatures and humidity at very precise levels.

 For this reason, 60 Climaciat Airtech AHUs were installed:

• single-flow units with two-way mixing boxes,
• dual-flow units with three-way mixing boxes,
• dual-flow units with plate heat exchangers (for recovering a portion of heat energy from exhaust air and using it to warm incoming air)
• dual-flow units with water heat-recovery coils.

CIAT also delivered 40 Major Line fan coil comfort units, 37 Melody cassette units, 78 Coadis 2 Coanda effect cassette units and 17 Heliotherme 4000 air heaters for the museum's offices and areas in which artwork is not exhibited.
