A $525,000 dollar order for the supply of Strobic Tri-stack fans for the new international university of science and technology in the republic of Botswana has been delivered to the construction site completing its journey from Strobe’s Manufacturing Facility in the USA.
The order was secured by Critical Airflow of the United Kingdom.
Building commenced last month (April) on Botswana's long-delayed specialist science and Technology University. It is hoped the university will stop the 'brain drain' of students going to other countries to study.
The two (2) heat recovery systems, which were purchased through Strobic Air's United Kingdom Sales Representative Critical Airflow by a new customer, who is a major contractor in Africa, include a total of six (6) Tri-Stack(TM) fans, equipped with Strobic Air's patented acoustical silencer nozzle to minimize sound output levels at the fan discharge, mounted on two (2) heat recovery plenums. The systems will be used to not only exhaust fumes from laboratory hoods but also extract exhaust heat for heating or cooling conditioned makeup air in the laboratory, drastically lowering the laboratory's energy costs.
Strobic Air was awarded this contract based on their best-in-class reputation for supplying low profile exhaust systems that are specifically designed to handle the complex issues of laboratory exhaust and heat recovery.
Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST), a public-private partnership, is under construction in the city of Palapye, 270 kilometres north of the capital, Gaborone.
