HVAC Case Study
Pata Palo Restaurant

The Pata Palo (Restaurante Espectaculo) restaurant in Madrid had a heat issue during hot and humid Spanish Summers. Customers and staff were experiencing discomfort, especially in the mezzanine floor that hosts most of the seatings.

The restaurant belongs to the HORECA Group called Grupo Desvan. The group has an important presence in the southern area of Madrid (Spain) owning eight restaurants.

Pata Palo has followed suit with other cooling installations owned by the same group. The management decided to install 4Breezair TBA550s and 4 extract fans. The evaporative air coolers cool an area of 400m². Plus, the entire system is controlled by an IWC controller which coordinates both cooling and air extraction.

The management decided to install Breezair air coolers during the building’s construcion. The group knew from experience how effective Breezair was in similar buildings owned by the same group.

The maximum summer temperatures in Spain reach approximately 42ºC. However after the Breezair has been installed, the Bar manager, Alfredo Revoltora said “the indoor climate is now extremely comfortable for both customers and staff and the excellent air quality is a plus.”

Grupo Desvan believes that Breezair is a perfect system for cooling restaurants and pubs, not only because it cools down the area effectively, but because it also provides filtered, high quality air at very reasonable costs.
