It’s often hard to have it all. Many engineers will tell you that improved and increased air flow doesn’t exactly pair with energy efficiency. You have to run the equipment more, using more energy and wearing down equipment more quickly. However, innovative products in the marketing place help you enhance air quality and delivery efficiency.
Today, we are going to introduce you to SEMCO and how it might be the right fit for your mechanical engineering design challenges or unique building needs as an owner. We’ll explore these air quality solutions: air handling equipment, chilled beam solutions, and energy recovery wheels.
Air Handling / Air Treatment Equipment
“Complete line of desiccant-based products and systems recover energy, increase ventilation and control humidity. We will work with you to provide the most cost-effective solution for your project. Our products are designed not only to provide energy efficiency, but also overall occupant comfort. FläktGroup SEMCO is dedicated to producing specialized, healthy air solutions.

Chilled Beam Series
“SEMCO offers a wide range of active and passive chilled beams which combine radiant cooling with conventional overhead ventilation to reduce energy usage, improve comfort levels, and reduce the architectural impact of ductwork and other mechanical systems.
A chilled beam system is designed for use in non-residential applications where there is a high-temperature load or rooms that require individual comfort control. FläktGroup SEMCO’s chilled beams are designed to manage high cooling capacity by using a primary air supply, typically outdoor air, to increase airflow over the element. The primary air is then supplied to the room through diffusers built into the beam. Many of our beams have a patented system for adjusting airflow, cooling effect, and airflow pattern making them highly adaptable to suit the changing conditions of any given space.
Our chilled beams are assisted by the FläktGroup SEMCO Neuton Chilled Beam Pump Module which provides active condensation control while offering an improved response to occupied and unoccupied spaces. Learn more about each of these products.” – Source Site
Energy Recovery Wheels
“SEMCO wheels are exceptionally energy efficient products and come in a variety of sizes and capabilities. In conjunction with an energy recovery unit, these wheels help to pre-cool and dehumidify the outdoor air during the cooling season while preheating and humidifying the outdoor air during the heating season. As a result, outdoor air can be raised from 5 to 20 CFM per person without increasing energy costs.
This is especially beneficial because of ASHRAE Standard 62, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality. Referenced in part or whole by all building codes in the United States, this standard recommends that outdoor air quantities be increased from 5 CFM per person to 20 CFM per person (in an office environment) to avoid adverse health effects. In addition, when utilized with a purge section, the FläktGroup SEMCO wheels excel at ensuring viral and bacterial contaminants in a building are minimized and do not allow widespread dissemination. Using FläktGroup SEMCO wheels provides a cost-effective solution to this standard.” – Site Source
