At Jag Air Conditioning Services, we recently completed a project for Ealing Trailfinders Rugby Club in West Ealing, London. The club required a reliable cooling solution for their two marquee gyms, where high-intensity training takes place. Our team installed four 12.5kW cassette units and roof fans to improve air circulation and temperature control. The project was completed within a week, delivering an efficient and effective climate control system.

Project Requirements & Planning

The client needed a system that could handle the demands of an active training environment. With multiple players training at any given time, heat buildup was a concern. We recommended four 12.5kW cassette units and roof fans to distribute air evenly. Our team assessed the space and planned the installation to make sure airflow reached all areas.

Cassette Air Conditioning Units

Cassette units were chosen for their ability to cool large areas without taking up wall or floor space. Each 12.5kW unit was strategically placed to cover the entire gym area. The cassettes were installed flush with the ceiling, keeping the gym layout uncluttered. These systems offer powerful cooling while operating quietly, making them ideal for training environments.

Roof Fan Installation

To complement the air conditioning, we installed roof fans to improve ventilation. The fans work by extracting warm air, preventing heat buildup. This setup supports the cassette units by maintaining steady airflow and reducing strain on the system. By incorporating both cooling and ventilation, we provided an effective climate solution tailored to the club’s needs.

Installation Process

Our team worked efficiently to complete the installation within one week. The process involved several critical steps, from preparation to final testing, making sure the system functioned optimally.

Site Preparation

Before installing any equipment, we conducted a full assessment of the marquee gyms. This included measuring ceiling heights, identifying potential obstructions, and confirming the best locations for optimal airflow. Safety checks were also completed to make sure all wiring and mounting points met industry standards. Any necessary reinforcements were made before proceeding with the installation.

Mounting The Cassette Units

Once the site was prepared, we proceeded with mounting the cassette units. Each unit was carefully lifted and positioned into pre-cut ceiling spaces. Our team secured them in place using durable support brackets, making sure they remained stable during high usage. Precise placement was crucial to avoid air pockets and achieve even distribution of cool air.

Electrical & Refrigerant Connections

After the units were securely mounted, we connected them to the power supply and linked them to the outdoor condenser. This step required precise wiring and refrigerant piping to guarantee efficient performance. We pressure-tested the connections to detect any leaks and made adjustments as needed to guarantee system integrity.

Installing The Roof Fans

The roof fans were installed to improve airflow and prevent heat buildup. We positioned them strategically to extract warm air from the gyms, working in sync with the cassette units. The fans were securely mounted, and their extraction capabilities were tested to confirm they could effectively regulate temperature levels.

System Calibration & Testing

Once all components were installed, we calibrated the system to match the gym’s cooling requirements. Our team adjusted fan speeds, airflow direction and temperature settings to make sure the system functioned efficiently. We ran several performance tests, monitoring cooling effectiveness and overall energy consumption.

To confirm the installation was successful, we conducted real-time tests whilst the gym was in use. This allowed us to assess whether the air conditioning system could maintain a stable temperature despite high occupancy and intense physical activity. Minor adjustments were made based on feedback from the club to optimise comfort levels.

Benefits For Ealing Trailfinders Rugby Club

Following completion, the new climate control system has significantly improved comfort within the gyms. Players can now train in a temperature-controlled environment, reducing fatigue caused by excessive heat. The combination of cassette units and roof fans delivers efficient cooling and ventilation, making workouts more comfortable and effective.

Our work at Ealing Trailfinders Rugby Club demonstrates our ability to deliver high-performance cooling systems within tight timeframes.
