Systemair, a global Swedish ventilation company and manufacturer of commercial ventilation products, is expanding its popular Geniox line of air handlers in North America. With a versatile, modular platform, the Geniox line allows for complete customization of heat and energy recovery, cooling, filtration, mixing, and other elements to meet the needs of each individual project. Now, five years after its introduction, Geniox is becoming even more user-friendly and versatile as Systemair aligns its North American and European platforms, harnessing the expertise of its 70 engineers worldwide.
Beneficial changes customers will see include:
- More sizes: The new Geniox lineup will expand to 16 sizes ranging from 440 CFM to 65,000 CFM.
- Hygienic By Design: Systemair’s #HygienicByDesign approach provides hygienic operating conditions, peace of mind, and unmatched flexibility when it comes to meeting specific hygienic demands in projects. Our Geniox units are constructed using smooth surfaces, are easy to clean, and resistant to corrosion.
- More flexibility for retrofit applications: Designers will be able to break down Geniox units into smaller sections horizontally as well as vertically. This brings tremendous flexibility for retrofit applications where space constraints are a bigger issue and also means units can fit through existing doorways.
- Better costing: With more versatility for grouping Geniox units, we’ll see greater negotiation opportunities with the components that go into Geniox units and also will be able to work with a broader range of suppliers to increase customers’ choices.
- More functionality: Similarly, the expanded Geniox lineup will allow for incorporation of more functions into the modular platform, such as UV lights, humidification, and more energy recovery options, including counter flow plate heat exchangers with efficiencies near 70 percent.
- Greater design capability: Through an intuitive user interface and unique calculation tools, SystemairCAD simplifies the selection process and helps customers design the perfect Geniox AHU for their projects.
All other Geniox features remain the same, including thermally insulated double-wall construction and ABS-designed corners to minimize heat loss and eliminate thermal bridging; various roof options, including a factory-installed roof with double-sloped A-frame design, rain shield protection, and snow load support; vertical supply or return access points; service windows for easy inspection; and lockable handles.
