Ferrari, a name famous throughout the world,

synonym for state-of-the-art technology, perfor-

mance and quality, has chosen Tecnoclima units

for the air-conditioning system of their renowned

Scaglietti plant in Modena, where bodywork for

their most famous car models is produced.

As part of a modernization and validation process of Ferrari properties, Paolo Burani, an engineer-surveyor

in Modena, was given the task of designing the new air-conditioning system for the historic plant, which

currently produces the bodywork for the brand new Ferrari 612, presented this year at the Detroit show. Fer-

rari plans involved the implementation of a new winter-summer air treatment system to create an extremely

comfortable, all-year-round working environment for its staff.

The initial project included the design of a classic system with central thermal unit, central refrigeration

unit, electrical substation, hot and cold water distribution circuits and twenty-four air treatment units lo-

cated outside the building, close to the perimeter walls, with diffusion of air into the environment by means

of fabric ducts.

HIGH-EFFICIENCY SYSTEM wITH LOw MAINTENANCE IMPACT

After a careful technical and economic evaluation, the designer, with full agreement of the customer, opted

for a different solution, involving the use of twenty-four independent, fully integrated “roof top” air-treatment

units offering high efﬁciency and low maintenance impact. Eighteen units are used to provide air-condition-

ing to the larger plant, where the aluminium bodywork for the 612 is produced, each with 200 kW refrigera-

tion and 300 kW thermal capacity and airﬂow of 25,000 m

.p.h.; the remaining six units, with airﬂow varying

between 10,000 and 6,000 m

.p.h. and 65 kW cooling-89 kW heating capacity, are required instead to

provide air treatment in the plant destined to produce carbon bodywork for the Enzo. All the units are fully

automatic, with both heating and cooling capacity differentiation. This new solution, chosen by the designer

has a full three-year Tecnoclima guarantee, has allowed a two-thirds reduction in the initial investment nec-

essary to produce the air conditioning system, increased system efﬁciency, reduced maintenance costs,

resolved a number of technical problems and, above all, satisﬁed a series of very special and highly complex

requirements.

A 100% EXTERIOR AIR SYSTEM: EXTREMELY DIFFICULT CHALLENGE

“The most important and most difﬁcult requirement to satisfy was the fact that the system had to be based

100% on outside air due to the kind of processes performed inside the plant”, explains Alfonso Vescovi, Tecn-

oclima managing director. “The design for the larger plant involved the emission of 440,000 m
