Precision Climate Control for a Spa Room Aquatic Centre for Council

Zenith Ventilation

At Zenith Ventilation, we specialise in advanced air handling solutions designed to maintain optimal temperature and humidity control. Recently, we were engaged by a regional NSW council to install a reliable Air Handling Unit (AHU) for the spa room within a council-operated aquatic centre. To meet the specific environmental requirements of the space, we selected and installed the Dantherm DanX 1HP system.

Project Overview

Spa rooms present unique challenges when it comes to humidity and temperature control. Without proper ventilation, these high-moisture environments can suffer from condensation issues, mould growth, and structural damage. To combat these concerns, we installed the Dantherm DanX 1HP, which is specifically designed for energy-efficient dehumidification and climate regulation.

Key Components Installed

To ensure consistent air quality and energy efficiency, our installation included:

✅ Dantherm DanX 1HP System – A high-performance air handling unit that combines heat pump technology with an advanced double crossflow heat exchanger. ✅ Ducted Air Distribution System – Ensuring even airflow throughout the spa room. ✅ Electrical Supply & Control Wiring – Seamlessly integrating the unit with existing infrastructure. ✅ Hydraulic Connections – Connecting the heat pump system to optimise dehumidification and heat recovery.

Benefits of the Dantherm DanX 1HP System

The DanX 1HP was chosen for its high efficiency, precision control, and energy recovery capabilities. Designed specifically for pool and spa environments, this system offers exceptional performance in maintaining a comfortable indoor climate while reducing operational costs.

Key Features:

  • Double Crossflow Heat Exchanger – Captures and recycles heat for energy savings exceeding 100%.
  • Integrated Heat Pump – Provides both heating and cooling while optimising dehumidification.
  • Precise Humidity & Temperature Regulation – Ensures the perfect balance of fresh air and humidity control.
  • Optimised Outdoor Air Use – Minimises the proportion of outdoor air required, reducing energy waste.
  • Water-Cooled Condenser Option – Allows excess heat to be redirected to the pool or hot water supply, maximising efficiency.

Challenges & Solutions

This installation required a custom approach to ensure seamless integration within the existing aquatic centre infrastructure. The primary challenges included:

✔ Managing High Humidity Levels – The DanX 1HP’s advanced heat recovery and dehumidification system effectively controls moisture levels, preventing condensation and structural damage. ✔ Energy Efficiency Requirements – The system’s heat recovery function and water-cooled condenser provide maximum energy savings while maintaining comfort. ✔ Seamless Integration – Our expert team ensured a smooth installation with minimal disruption to the aquatic centre’s daily operations.

Final Outcome

The result is a highly efficient, cost-effective, and reliable climate control system tailored for the spa room environment. The council now benefits from:

✅ Precise temperature and humidity control ✅ Significant energy savings through heat recovery ✅ A comfortable, well-regulated environment for spa users ✅ Lower maintenance costs and extended infrastructure lifespan
