Precision Climate Control for Research Laboratories with ECOMFORT + LX60

Project Overview

In a high-performance research laboratory environment, Redge delivered a climate control system combining the strengths of two key product families: the ECOMFORT MC R32 heat pump and the LX60 air handling unit. Designed to support critical spaces such as fume hood compensation areas, this solution prioritized thermal accuracy, acoustic control, and energy efficiency.

The system was deployed in close collaboration with engineering consultants and technical contractors to ensure optimal results in a highly regulated, data-sensitive space.

Challenges

Laboratory environments require a delicate balance between precise airflow control, thermal regulation, and noise management. The climate system must respond quickly to internal load fluctuations driven by active fume hoods and specialized equipment, while maintaining low sound levels and minimizing energy waste. Seamless integration between heat generation and air distribution was essential to achieve zone-by-zone comfort and safety.

Redge Solution

The selected solution paired the ECOMFORT MC R32 indoor heat pump with the LX60 air handling unit to deliver high-efficiency hydronic cooling and precise air delivery in research spaces.

Key system elements included:

  • ECOMFORT: low-GWP R32 refrigerant, built-in hydraulic module with double pump, scroll compressors, and energy-efficient regulation for year-round comfort
  • LX60: factory-integrated controls, modular airflows, and filtration options tailored for cleanroom and lab applications
  • Embedded regulation logic to synchronize the heat pump's thermal production with the AHU's air volume adjustments, ensuring both comfort and compliance

Together, the solution allowed compensation of fume hood exhaust without sacrificing temperature control or increasing noise levels in the lab.

Key Outcomes

The lab now benefits from a unified climate system offering precise control, quiet operation, and low environmental impact. The use of R32 refrigerant aligns with modern sustainability goals, while the pairing of ECOMFORT and LX60 ensures energy-efficient operation with built-in smart regulation---eliminating the need for third-party integration layers.
