Content of Implementation: For the needs of ventilation of the newly adapted space in the 1st floor of the Hotel Thermal Karlovy Vary, it is possible to install a new air conditioning unit (see Pd in the Annex to this Wall). The unit will be located in the existing engine room/exchange station in the 1st floor. Within the framework of the location of the new unit, there will be a need to adjust the location of one existing unit (regarding the control room, workshops, warehouses). Part of the contract is the relocation of the existing unit, the solution to the ventilation of the chemical warehouse space, the delivery and installation of the new unit, the manufacture and installation of air ducts. Piping for the Newly Installed Unit (ventilation of New Spaces) Will be Conducted So-called. "on the heel" (the final division in the new premises will be made only after specifying their use and is not the subject of this contract), where it will be terminated with a fire damper. A standard low-pressure system is designed. For a Newly Installed Unit, the Device Will Inhale Air on the Facade of the Building Through the Existing Rain Shutter. In the unit, the air is filtered, preheated on the Zzt exchanger and thermally treated (heated or cooled). It is blown from the unit into a pipe that transports it to the border of the new premises. Vzt Unit Is Included On Inlet Filter M5, Zzt System (Plate Cross Heat Recovery Exchanger), Fan, Water Heater, Water Cooler, Filter F7. An M5 filter, a Zzt exchanger, and a fan are located on the exhaust. The unit is also equipped with suction flaps and shock absorbers. The device is designed with a power reserve for any unexpected change in layout. Degraded air is discharged back to the unit. In the unit, the air is filtered (M5 filter) and diverted to the common exhaust duct by the fan through heat recovery, and is thus blown out into the outdoor space. The drainage pipe is projected in two alternative routes and the specific solution will be specified on the construction site after the construction structures are revealed. In order to prevent the penetration of the noise of the fan sets, silencers are designed into the pipe routes.

For this reason, a new pipe route is designed from the engine room from facility 129 to the facilities area, where it will be connected to the existing distribution system and will ensure the supply of air to this part. The Air Extraction From The Chemical Storage And Water Treatment Plant Will Be A New Exhaust Duct Fan That Is Designed Under The Ceiling In The HVAC Machine Room. The exhaust of degraded air is into the exhaust duct of the engine room in 1 Pp. Device Control Will Be Via System Mar.
