Case study
UCV Maintenance
Do your filters look like this?

Challenge
This soiled pre filter was recently discovered on a third party serviced Howorth UCV Canopy. Following their failure to rectify specific issues with the UCV system our team were called in and we swiftly rectified the issues found on site.
Solution
Whilst on site we carried our a deeper investigation into the service rota of the UCV system and found inadequate techniques used both Mechanically and Electrically to the UCV System. It is imperative that when critical systems are annually verified and canopies serviced that the AP(V) is present to supervise the sub contracted engineers and that they are competent to execute their duties (in accordance with HTM 00).
Howorth Air Tech ensure that all Engineers complete a robust training plan and in the event of changes to the system are required our highly qualified Technical team deliver solutions, from simple repair to full capital replacement.
If you are responsible for critical ventilation systems on site, Howorth Air Tech are also the only UCV manufacturer in the UK to provide onsite, specific training for engineering teams to ensure that systems remain functional and compliant.
Outcome
It is our recommendation that UCV Systems are maintained annually (at a minimum) inclusive of pre filter replacement, airflow confirmation, filter integrity checks and all other Mechanical and Electrical considerations.
