Project Overview
The Coca-Cola Ozarks bottling facility implemented targeted HVAC upgrades to address elevated carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels, protect temperature-sensitive production equipment, and improve overall manufacturing conditions. The project focused on improving indoor air quality, maintaining precise space temperature control, and enabling future facility growth while leveraging existing infrastructure.
Existing Conditions & Challenges
The existing bottling room experienced elevated CO₂ levels that exceeded safety standards, creating concerns for employee health and safety. Production equipment within the facility required controlled space temperatures to remain operational. While the chilled water system had available capacity, the existing electrical distribution panelboard was at capacity and could not support additional equipment.
Project Goals
Reduce CO₂ concentrations to meet safety standards. Improve indoor air quality and employee working conditions. Maintain temperature control for critical production and mechanical equipment. Utilize existing chilled water capacity. Provide electrical infrastructure for future equipment additions. Improve manufacturing practices through positive space pressurization.
New HVAC & Electrical Systems
A new custom air handling unit was installed to replace an existing air rotation unit serving the mechanical room. The air handler was designed with two dedicated sections. One section serves the bottling room as a 100% outside air unit to dilute CO₂ levels while providing space sensible cooling. The second section serves the mechanical room to maintain acceptable space temperatures for mechanical equipment. An exhaust fan was installed near the bottle filler, where CO₂ is generated, with the intake located low on the wall to effectively capture and discharge CO₂ outdoors. The bottling room air handler was ducted to strategically distribute air, ensuring effective cooling of critical equipment while driving CO₂ out of the space. A new electrical distribution panelboard was incorporated into the project to provide additional electrical capacity for current and future equipment.
Results & Performance Outcomes
CO₂ levels within the bottling room were reduced, improving indoor air quality and employee safety. The bottling room is now positively pressurized, supporting improved product manufacturing practices. Additional electrical capacity allows for future equipment expansion. Existing air rotation units were made available for relocation to the warehouse floor in support of future warehouse cooling upgrades.
Project Impact
The Coca-Cola Ozarks Bottling Room HVAC upgrade delivered a high-performance solution that improved employee safety, protected critical production equipment, and enhanced manufacturing practices. The project provided immediate operational benefits while positioning the facility for future growth.
