At Zenith Ventilation, we specialise in providing high-efficiency indoor climate control solutions tailored to unique environments. Recently, we completed the installation of a DANTHERM XKS 12/24 Indoor Climate Control System for an indoor swimming pool in Penrith. Given the region’s extreme summer temperatures, our goal was to ensure consistent humidity and temperature regulation for year-round comfort.
Project Overview
Penrith’s climate can be particularly challenging, with intense summer heat and cooler winters. To manage this, we implemented a heat pump chiller that provides both heating and cooling, ensuring the system adapts to seasonal variations. This allows the indoor environment to be maintained at a stable and comfortable temperature set point, optimising energy use while preserving indoor air quality.
Key Components Installed
To achieve an effective and durable system, our installation included:
✅ DANTHERM XKS 12/24 System – A highly efficient outdoor air dehumidification system with integrated climate control features. ✅ Heat Pump Chiller – Provides both hot and cold water depending on the temperature requirements. ✅ Galvanised Steel Duct Work (External) – Ensuring durability and optimal air distribution. ✅ Fabric Duct for Internal Air Distribution – Promoting even airflow within the pool area. ✅ Electrical Supply & Control Wiring – Ensuring precise automation and system integration. ✅ Hydraulic Connections – Linking the chiller to the air coils, including solenoid valves and actuators for enhanced efficiency.
Benefits of the DanX XKS System
The DanX XKS 12/24 is designed specifically for indoor swimming pools, offering exceptional climate control through its advanced crossflow heat exchanger. This system not only maintains optimal humidity and temperature but also delivers real energy savings of up to 80%.
Key Features:
- Precise Humidity & Temperature Control – Prevents condensation, minimising structural damage and ensuring air quality.
- Energy-Efficient Crossflow Heat Exchanger – Captures and recycles energy for significant cost savings.
- Integrated Outdoor Air Mixing Function – Supplies only the necessary amount of fresh air to optimise efficiency.
- Free Cooling Option – During summer, the unit can introduce 100% outdoor air via an integrated bypass.
- Additional Cooling Coil for Hot Climates – Further enhances dehumidification and cooling in regions with high summer temperatures.
Challenges & Solutions
Every project presents unique challenges, and this installation was no exception. Ensuring efficient airflow distribution while maintaining energy efficiency required a carefully engineered approach. Our solution included:
✔ Custom Ducting Design – A combination of galvanised steel external ductwork and internal fabric ducting for even air distribution. ✔ Automated Temperature Control – The system adapts dynamically to environmental changes, reducing energy waste. ✔ Seamless Hydraulic & Electrical Integration – Our team expertly connected the heat pump chiller and DanX system to ensure smooth operation.
Final Outcome
The result is a highly efficient, reliable, and energy-conscious indoor climate control system that ensures optimal conditions for the swimming pool area all year round. The client now benefits from:
✅ Consistent temperature & humidity control ✅ Significant energy savings ✅ A healthier, more comfortable environment ✅ Lower operational costs due to optimised air handling
