The first project includes the supply and installation of three Chillers, using the environmentally friendly refrigerant R-134A and providing 840 tons of cooling capacity, as well as a number of Double-skin Air Handling units and Fan Coil units of different sizes and models. The units will be installed at Marwe Airport, a modern, state-of-the-art international airport in north Sudan featuring expanded runways that support larger, long-distance aircraft. These particular units will provide total cooling solutions for both the main airport hall and the air traffic control tower.

ZAC will also supply and install a number of Mini-split systems to other airport-related facilities, including the Cargo & Administrative buildings. Delivery has already begun and is expected to be completed by July 2007.

"This prestigious project is the latest on our rapidly growing list of successful endeavors in the region. ZAC won this project despite strong competition from major air conditioning brands in the market, and will provide complete air-conditioning design for the entire project. This includes the HVAC ducting layout, exhaust and ventilation systems, as well as the air distribution system,"


said Osama F. Bunyan, Executive Vice president, ZAC.

The second contract requires the supply of three Chillers - each of 220 TR cooling capacity and using environmentally friendly refrigerants, 14 Double-skin Air Handling units, and 17 Fan Coil units in addition to other cooling equipment and related accessories for the first phase of The Future University, a modern university that consists of six zones and is located in the heart of Khartoum, Sudan.

"ZAC highly specialized air conditioning solution applications have been delivered to major universities and learning institutions in the GCC and globally. Our design and manufacturing capabilities enable us to meet the most stringent project specifications," added Mr. Bunyan.
