Fresh-Air and Ceiling AHUs for an Overseas Automotive Assembly Plant

Assembly bays need air, not just cooling

An automotive assembly plant is a vast, high-bay space where the challenge is as much about ventilation and humidity as about temperature. Welding, painting preparation and continuous worker activity generate heat, fumes and moisture that must be moved out and replaced with conditioned fresh air. An overseas assembly plant needed a ventilation scheme that could keep air moving across long bays while holding humidity in a band that protects both the process and the workforce.

What Taile delivered

• Fresh-air AHUs to bring in and condition outdoor air, offsetting exhaust and keeping the space positively ventilated.
• Ceiling-mounted AHUs for distributed conditioning across high-bay assembly areas where floor space and duct routes are limited.
• Humidity control so welding and coating-prep areas stay within a workable band even in a humid climate.

Why ventilation is the load that matters here

In a plant this size, the outdoor-air and exhaust balance often dominates the HVAC load — more than the temperature spread. Getting the fresh-air volume right means the space stays breathable and the exhaust systems work as designed, while the AHUs do not waste energy conditioning more outdoor air than necessary.

Key figures

• Fresh-air AHUs sized to offset exhaust and maintain positive ventilation
• Ceiling AHUs for distributed conditioning across high-bay areas
• Humidity control for welding and coating-preparation zones
• Engineered for a humid overseas climate
