BACKGROUND
Fastlane’s premises occupy more than
11,500 sq.ft, with a design and layout
specifically adapted to Fastlane’s
design, manufacturing and customer
service approach to Air Handling units.
Although Fastlane still operates from
Paddock Wood in Kent, England, a
forward thinking approach to the air
handling products we provide, the
markets in which we compete, and
the customers we serve, is reflected by
strong sales growth and premises that
have doubled in capacity from those
early beginnings.
Following acquisition by the ELTA
Group in 1998, the tradition of first
class air handling unit equipment and
associated products, underpinned by
Fastlane’s approach to the Air
Handling market, ensures that
we continue to meet today’s
requirements for the applications and
modern building services techniques
that challenge the company each day.

Fastlane continues to be run by founder
and Managing Director Rod Capeling,
“ At Fastlane, a combination of
in-house technical expertise, advanced
manufacturing facilities and an
experienced workforce dedicated to
meeting the highest production
standards, ensures we deliver quality air
handling unit equipment” .
“ Our values - innovation, quality and
flexibility, combined with enthusiasm,
drive and determination, provide Fastlane
with the capabilities to continue to
develop and progress as an established air
handling unit manufacturer, to the
Building Services and other markets.”

INNOVATIVEAPPROACH
An innovative approach and a
comprehensive knowledge of the
design of air handling units, combined
with the market applications to which
Fastlane apply their capabilities, are
the cornerstone of our product
development and customer focus.
Fastlane never stands still when it
comes to product development for a
particular application, or where
something is exceptionally
challenging to meet a more specific
customer requirement.
To work out and create the right
approach to our customers’ needs is
deep within our culture, from
the initial sketch to that final
product solution.
With our expertise in Air Handling,
through an accumulated knowledge
of HVAC engineers, and the extensive
facilities of a larger parent Group,
such as the Research and
Development laboratory conforming
to BS EN ISO 9001: 2000, Fastlane has
the capabilit ies to provide reliable,
accurate data, which customers can
apply, with confidence, to their Air
Handling unit requirements.
Fastlane offers extensive technical
support and guidance to our clients,
in the application and sizing of air
handling units and associated
ventilation equipment, in order to suit
the particular specification, site
restrictions or plant room area.
Our whole approach to design and
application is customer driven; from
consultation with our staff, then the
customer, to detailed specifications,
drawings and computer aided
selection, all of which is directed
towards encompassing every aspect,
every detail, thereby providing the
right product for the application.

technology, Fastlane’s simple,
streamlined units, combined with
reliability and performance, make
any Air Handler from Fastlane easier
on the specifier, no matter what
design criteria, space requirements,
or acoustic properties may be
specified.

This comprehensive brochure with full technical data enables the specifier, consultant or design contractor to select
from an extensive range of Air Handling equipment to prepare his designs and specifications.
The ‘NEVADA’ range of Air Handling units are a compact,
economical range, providing a versatile solution to many
air handling applications. There are six standard sizes,
with a duty range of up to 1.4 m3
/sec.
All constructed from Penta Post frames, each unit,
powered by direct driven centrifugal fans, offer a full
range of LPHW Coils, Electric Heater batteries and
filters as standard components.
The Cirrus range of Air Handling units are the perfect answer where space is at a premium, such as refurbishment
projects where existing space determines parameters, ceiling voids and where top or bottom access is required.
With six sizes in the range, and duties of up to 1.0m3 /sec, Cirrus air handlers facilitate more restrictive applications.

Flexible approach means the manufacturing facility and the skilled staff we employ, can fabricate everything from
purpose built penta-post units, to smaller ‘fan box’ products formed from flat sheet steel.
21
In addition to the standard product range for Direct & Belt Drive units, Fastlane has established a strong reputation in
the design, manufacture and supply of bespoke ‘made to order’ units, comprising a wide range of components to
match the precise specification for the application.
The ‘Stratus’ range of Air Handling units comprise twelve standard sizes, with duties of up to 5.8m 3 /sec.
The standard range consists of a panel filter, LPHW or Electric heater and forward curved belt driven centrifugal fans.

IntroductionAir Handling unit selection is about choosing from a variety of features, accessories and options within a product group, and
to make selection easier, Fastlane have developed a series of guides to assist in the selection process.
(i) Quick Reference Guide (ii) AHU Selection Program
(iii) Performance Range Chart (iv) Accessories & Options Chart
By providing at a glance the many features encompassed within a product group, the quick reference guide enables you to
identify broadly your initial air handling unit requirements.
AHU Selection SoftwareDuring 2006 Fastlane will be introducing a purpose designed AHU Selection software program to our
customers.
The computerised software will be available as a user friendly CD selection program, with the
capability to provide fast, accurate and time efficient selections, design and quotations for Fastlane’srange of air handling units to the building services sector.
N.B. * Lead times do not apply to Weatherproofed units or Non Standard Sizes.
Lead times quoted are based on normal working days after drawing approval.

PERFORMANCE CHART
In accordance with our policy of constant product development we reserve the right t o alter from published data without prior not ice. 23
Our performance chart provides a visual overview of typical air performances for the NEVADA, CIRRUS and
STRATUS ranges of air handling units.
For larger sizes and bespoke requirements, please enquire.
As a guide…………………..
Direct Drive units should be predominantly selected where lower air volumes are required for the application,
due to the compact nature of the unit, lower maintenance and overall costs.
Belt Drive units tend to be selected where higher air volumes and resistances are required, alongside specialist
requirements at lower air volumes.
As you will see from the Performance chart, a unit with a particular volume can be selected from more than
one size of unit.
The best selection for performance and cost would normally be found in the middle of the chart, for example,
Model SA55 Belt Drive for 2.0 m3 /sec - Heating only.
If plant space is at a premium, the smallest unit should be selected, however, please note this will often
increase motor sizes and sound levels to overcome the higher resistance of the unit.

relevant Accessories and Options available for each particular Air Handling Unit.
The chart incorporates a colour selection key, which illustrates square colour blocks alongside each Accessory / Option,
thereby identifying which Accessory and / or Option is applicable to each type of Air Handling unit.
An Accessory is defined as a component that helps the unit operate or to measure the operation of the air handling unit.
An Option is defined as a component that is a function of the air handling unit.
