Introduction

saving you energy

SAVE 20% - 50% ON YOUR HEATING

AND COOLING COSTS THROUGH
DESTRATIFICATION
Thermal Stratification - the single biggest waste of energy in
buildings today*
Airius Europe Ltd is a UK based company specialising in saving organisations significant amounts on their
energy usage through destratification.
Through in-depth research and millions of dollars spent on product development Airius USA now has a
range of highly effective destratification products patented and available worldwide.
Airius Europe Ltd was formed in 2006 to promote this unique system with the mission to help any
organisation that heats or cools internal spaces, by balancing temperature differences which naturally
occur and thus save on their energy input.
With our next generation of destratification systems and with over 75,000 units sold to date (as of Feb
2014) Airius have quickly become recognised as the worlds experts and leaders in the field of
destratification.
As a result we have amassed an impressive client list.

*Research conducted by utility giant DTE Energy. The Carbon Trust recommends destratification as one of its top 3 carbon saving
measures.

What is Destratification & How Will I Benefit?

saving you energy

Typical ROI between 12 & 24 months

Destratification is the process of breaking down and balancing different temperature
layers which naturally occur in every building between the floor and ceiling when
heating or cooling is applied.
The ultimate goal of destratification is to achieve a 0C difference. To achieve
this all air must be evenly circulated within an internal space otherwise
temperature imbalances will occur.
Most traditional destratification fan manufacturers consider a 5C
difference to be acceptable; however these systems leave hot/cold
spots, produce uncomfortable air movement, can be noisy and often
only achieve modest energy savings.
Airius manufactures the next generation of destratification systems
going far beyond the traditional fan in the ceiling approach. The Airius
system typically achieves 0C 2C difference between floor and
ceiling depending on building design.
At this level you are maximizing the efficiency of your existing heating
or cooling system therefore maximizing savings. This is how Airius can
achieve 20% - 50% reduction on energy bills, sometimes more. See
the case studies at the back of this brochure.

How Does The Airius System Work?

saving you energy

5 seconds

10 seconds

20 seconds

30 seconds

60 seconds 120 seconds

The Airius system easily balances temperatures in any given space by

slowly moving all the internal air. Airiuss unique, patented and
innovative design creates a slow moving column of air which, when it
hits the floor, spreads out along the floor getting into every corner of the
building before rising back up to repeat the process.

Patented Stator Technology

With any axial fan, the spinning blades induce a
rotational component into the air stream
causing turbulence and reduced throw.
Airius
patented
multi-vane
stator
technology transfers this rotational
energy to create columnar laminar
flow, increasing throw distance. This
is a standard feature on all Airius
ranges.

Installation
A typical installation includes a series of units
mounted just below the ceiling, evenly spaced
throughout a facility.

*Smoke machine used for air pattern visualisation. Model 45/PS-4 mounted at 9 metres.

saving you energy

Morrisons Supermarket
- Knottingly Store
Morrisons, the fourth largest supermarket chain in the UK, is
always looking for ways to reduce their energy costs and carbon
footprint and ways to increase customer comfort.
Supermarket operators and their HVAC consultants have been
trying to resolve the age old problem of cold chiller aisles and
uncomfortably warm clothing aisles for many years. Costly and
inefficient ducting systems, under cabinet heaters and heat retrieval systems have failed to solve the problem to date.
Mitton Mechanical, a Morrisons contractor, approached Airius in late 2007 to conduct a trial in the Morrisons Knottingly
store in Wakefield. Airius units were placed at 4 metre intervals in three chiller aisles in the hope of reducing the
stratification from 6-8C to 1-2Cthus making the chiller aisles more comfortable (without adversely affecting the chiller
units). More comfortable chiller aisles should increase the aisle spend as less shoppers rush through a cold area. A side
benefit is to eliminate freezer/cabinet fogging.
The trial was hugely successful and over 100 Morrisons stores have now been retrofitted with the Airius units. The Airius
units are now on the standard specification list for all new stores and will be retrofitted as part of the normal refurbishment
program.
Morrisons and Mitton Mechanical are a pleasure to work with. Their eagerness to reduce energy consumption and increase
the comfort levels for customers puts them at the very top of the Green supermarket list, which is why they were the first
supermarket in the UK to be awarded the prestigious Carbon Trust Standard for making real reductions in their carbon
emissions and energy usage.

Case Studies & Performance Reports

Newmarket Motors
- Cork Showroom
Newmarket Motors installed the Airius system into their
Cork showroom through their licensed contractor
Electrical Mechanical Controls Ltd.
They needed to resolve the uncomfortably high
temperatures experienced on their first floor and the
uncomfortably low temperatures found on their ground
floor, which were creating unsuitable conditions for their
staff to work in.

saving you energy

Key Points:
Approx. 12C heating reduction.
A/C settings reset from high to low.
Heating reduced by approx. 24 hours per week.
First floor conditions resolved by recirculating
the uncomfortably high temperatures to floor
level where conditions were too cold, thus also
solving the ground floor low temperature problem.

The Airius destratification system was simple and quick to

install by their private contractor. It not only resolved the
temperature imbalance, but also highly reduced the
output, workload and operating times required from the
A/C system, offering significant savings on their energy
costs.

"We (Electrical Mechanical Controls Ltd - Ireland) surveyed the VW Showroom as the owner had expressed that he was having
problems with uneven temperatures between the upstairs offices and downstairs offices and showroom. Staff upstairs were too
hot and the staff downstairs were working with their coats on at times. The Showroom has 3 sides of glass, floor to roof. They
have 4 combined heating/cooling units with the temperature set at between 30 33C with 4 blowers set to maximum.
We installed 3 Airius Model 25s and we are awaiting the electricity bills to show definite reductions. In the meantime, the
temperature on the A/C units have been reset at between 18 22C with the 4 blowers on the low setting and 2 of these are
turned off intermittently for approx. 2 4 hours per day.
Staff on both floors commented on the lovely comfortable temperature in comparison to before the system was fitted. These
have been monitored during the cold spell of weather that we are experiencing at the moment."
