HIGH QUALITY AIR HANDLING UNITSDesigned to your exact requirements
We work closely with all our customers, attuned to their varying needs and expectations. This ensures that we deliver innovative solutions and offer maximum value for money.
All Sovereign Air Handling Units are assembled by our skilled engineers.
We aim to adopt the very latest industry technology and all our units are manufactured in accordance with BS EN1886:2007 (incorporating Corrigenum January 2009).
AHU air leakage test was conducted by BSRIA’s test facility during March 2012. Sovereign Air Movement take the environment very seriously in everything we do, from choosing the most efficient fans, minimising wastage of materials and the running of our business which includes savings in water, heating and lighting.
The air handling unit frame system is cut and mitred from extruded Aluminium profiles, then TIG welded to give a secure and rigid frame system capable of supporting internal component decks. TIG welding produces a clean weld, which enhances the air handling unit’s appearance.
Sovereign air handling units are finished in Plastisol Coated Finish Pre Galvanised Mild Steel as standard, which gives a long 25 year life expectancy. The standard finish is Merlin Grey. Other colours are available if required.

CASE STUDY 1Freshney Place Grimsby - G-Tech Ltd
With footfall in excess of 12 million
visitors per year, the 46,450m2
Freshney Place Shopping Centre
accounts for more than 57% of
Grimsby’s retail provision. As part
of an ongoing update programme,
Sovereign Air movement were
approached by G-Tech to replace or
upgrade the existing AHU’s which
had been operating on the site for
more than 25 years.
Freshney Place has been
accredited with the ‘Investors in
the Environment’ Silver Award, and
part of their mission statement is to:
‘Carry out regular maintenance and
improvement programmes to ensure
we operate an environmentally
responsible building’.
Sovereign’s own policy of ensuring
required energy standards are
met for building ventilation, made
the collaboration with G-Tech and
Freshney Place a natural choice.
Each unit would be a direct
replacement for the older systems
and include a 100kW gas fired
heater and heat wheel recovery
system for maximum efficiency. With
the old units and ducting stripped
out, transport was arranged for
delivery of the next generation
units in five sections together with
a trailer and crane. Sovereign’s
regular transport company, Five Star
Haulage of Leeds, played a key role
in tentatively manoeuvring the units
via a ramp onto the shopping centre
roof; a challenging operation in itself.
With the units bolted together and
all internal wiring and ductwork
modifications complete, we passed
on to our client to link with their
control systems. When fully wired,
Sovereign arranged for testing of the
gas burner and full commissioning
took place.
CASE STUDY 2Amazon Warehouse - Rugby Gateway
Sovereign Air Movement have won
a first order with PWP Building
Services to supply five Air Handling
Units for a vast new Amazon facility
at Rugby Gateway; a 120 acre prime
site development situated at the
heart of the UK logistics ‘Golden
Triangle’. The 120,000 Sq. ft.
Amazon Warehouse and Distribution
Centre was opened in August 2017.
Sovereign are proud to have
supplied and completed installation
of the five air handling units
together with the necessary
secondary equipment to provide
a cost effective and practical air
handling solution for this eminent
project.
The installation comprised:
• 2 Spot Cooling units (one
external to the building with the
other internal mounted on the
mezzanine) c/w dx cooling to
serve the main warehouse floor
area with a duty of 10.85m3/s.
These units incorporate Reverse
cycle evaporative cooling with a
capacity of 200kw.
• 1 Ground Floor Amenities Heat

CASE STUDY 3Wigan Fire Station - Quartzelec
Sovereign Air Movement are pleased
to have supplied the Air Handling
Unit to the prestigious new Wigan
Community Fire and Ambulance
Station. With low running costs
high on the client’s list of priorities,
we installed a high efficiency heat
recovery system with a thermal heat
wheel option in order to provide
optimal heat recovery at the lowest
possible cost.
The unit itself is situated external
to the building and set within the
confines of the complex and full
inbuilt protection and roof were
included. The supply and extract
fans are all EC type plug fans and
inverter controlled to maximise
efficiency. As with all Sovereign’s EC
range they conform to the Energy
related Product (ErP) Directive.
Sovereign prepared the unit by
painting all the exterior louvres
in a way that complemented the
cladding of the building. Delivered
in one section, the unit was craned
into position on a pre-installed base
frame: the entire installation process
took about one hour to complete.
Sovereign Air Movement comments:
“We have worked closely with our
valued client Quartzelec on this
esteemed project and have recently
received a further order for two Air
Handling Units at Menai Science
Park. We very much look forward to
building on our business relationship
and future collaboration.”

CASE STUDY 5Cartwright Hall Museum - Bradford
Sovereign Air Movement Supplied
a new Air Handling Unit for the
newly refurbished David Hockney
Hall in the Cartwright Hall Bradford
Museum.
Sovereign manufactured an Air
Handling Unit to do a Supply and
Extract Airflow of 2.0m3/s @ 300
Pascal external static pressure.
The unit was manufactured to meet
the British Museum Society and ERP
Directive Specifications and include:
Inverter Driven Plug Fans, Filters to
G4 and F7 Grade, Thermal Wheel
Heat Recovery, DX Cooling Coil,
LPHW Heating Coil, Electric Heater
Battery, Inlet and Supply Dampers
and 3 way mixing section c/w

The unit casing was finished
internally and externally with
plastisol coated finish panels. A full
drain tray was fitted under the entire
AHU to catch any water spillage and
unit was supplied and installed in the
plant room within the allotted time
and fell well within the project brief.
CASE STUDY 6Kellogg’s Manchester
This project involved two Air Handling
Unit designs: the first was to cover
an area of 25.0m3/s and the second
to cover 22.0m3/s. Both units were
produced to identical size parameters,
after establishing that each unit would
be capable of handling the required air
volumes.
Both units were a replacement of
existing units which were no longer fit
for purpose. The two units were to be
located in the Cornflake line operating
area.
Manufactured by Sovereign, the product
brief specified that the units must be
produced to Kellogg’s own design
criteria. Food grade standard was an
essential factor with the facility for full
wash down capability. This meant there
would have to be a comprehensive
drainage system with drain trays
positioned beneath all the units.
The units comprised of the following
construction & items:
• Both Units were 50mm fully welded
aluminium frames and finish painted.
• 200mm fully welded and painted
steel base.
• Plastisol Outer panels with 304
Stainless Steel Grade Internal Panels.
• Weather Cowl & 316L Stainless Steel
Inlet Dampers.
• Steam Frost Coil - Copper/Copper,
stainless steel 304 casing.
• Pre filters/ISO Course, Secondary
Filters/ISO ePM175% mounted in 304
Stainless Steel Filter Frames.
• Chilled Water Cooling Coil – Copper/
Copper Electro Tinned, Stainless
Steel 304 Casing.
• Duel (duty/duty) fans – painted
Impeller. (Each Fan on AHU01 has a
45.0Kw motor, & on AHU02 they had
30.0Kw Motors).
• The Kellogg’s specification to meet
food grade standard, drain trays
were fitted in all areas to allow for
full wash down of the units.
• The fan motors have to be mounted
on an additional internal base in
order to allow wash down but also
handle the weight of the fan/motors.
• High Grade Synthetic Filter Ridged
Bag Filters - C/W 304 Stainless Steel
Filter Frames.
CASE STUDY 7JCT Porsche
Sovereign were successful in winning
this prestigious order to supply 3
Packaged integrated air handling
units to provide, supply and extract
air to the showroom and offices at
the Porsche dealership in Leeds.
These units were designed to
match up with the original unit roof
openings to eliminate any roof work
requirements. Once the old units
were removed, the new units could
then be craned into position, fixed
to the original roof mountings, wired
and be ready to run within a couple
of hours. The installation window to
carry out the work was extremely
narrow due to strict time constraints.
The whole operation had to be
carried out within one day which
included de-commissioning and
removal of the original units. The
installation was achieved on time
and to the customer’s satisfaction.
These Sovereign units installed
were built to the highest efficiency
specifications and meet the latest
ERP regulations.
