About the customer
Jindal Poly Films Limited (JPFL) is a part of B C Jindal
Group.
JPFL manufactures:
 Polyester films
 Polypropylene films
 Steel pipes
 Photographic products

4. 4
About the customer
 JPFL’s fully automated state-of-the-art manufacturing
unit is located in Nashik, India
 It is the world’s largest single location plant for the
manufacturing of BoPET* and BOPP** films
*BoPET - Biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate
**BOPP - Bi-oriented polypropylene

5. 5
Challenges
 All plant operations are managed from two control rooms
– the Dornier panel room and the winding and
instrumentation panel room
 Both these control rooms need to be maintained at 28ºC
and RH* of below 70% at all times
 The air conditioners used to cool the rooms incurred huge
operating costs, as the external temperature during
summers usually reached 42°C
*RH – Relative Humidity

6. 6
HMX’s solution
 HMX stepped in and offered an energy-efficient solution
to JPFL
 Two HMX-FAAC units were proposed and installed
 Dornier control room had an HMX-FAAC unit of 35000
CFM capacity
 Winding and instrumentation control room had an HMX-
FAAC unit of 7000 CFM* capacity
*CFM - Cubic Feet per Minute - This measurement indicates how many cubic feet of air
passes by a stationary point in one minute.

About the HMX-FAAC
 The HMX-FAAC is a revolutionary product that combines
Indirect Direct Evaporative Cooling and refrigerated air-
conditioning
 The HMX-FAAC has multiple modes of operation; the
switch over between modes is automated, based on the
inputs received from the temperature and RH sensors
 It is designed to maintain desired conditions in all
seasons
 It is ideal for applications where maintaining both
temperature and RH are critical

HMX-FAAC for JPFL
 The HMX-FAAC has different modes of operation to suit
prevailing ambient conditions.
 At JPFL, the HMX-FAAC units were switched seamlessly
between the following two modes:
 Ambiator mode: indirect + direct evaporative cooling mode
 Air-conditioner mode: cooling coil with recirculated air
 Depending on process requirements and/or inputs from
its temperature and RH sensors, the HMX-FAAC
switches between these modes automatically to
maintain required conditions within the control room

13. 13
Result and benefits due to HMX-FAAC
 The HMX-FAAC units consume less than half the energy
when running in evaporative cooling mode as compared
to conventional air-conditioning systems
 These units run in the fresh air mode for 70% of the year
and in air conditioning mode for rest of the year
 HMX’s FAAC units save a huge amount of energy at the
JPFL plant
 Low usage of the cooling coil also adds to the longevity
of the system

14. 14
JPFL is a satisfied customer!
JPFL’s management is happy with the performance of
HMX’s solution for its control rooms and is an advocate of
this solution.
