Terminal 2, London Heathrow Airport

When German airline Lufthansa relocated its flight operations to the new Terminal 2 at London Heathrow Airport, they needed a high-performance ventilation system to provide a superior travel experience for their passengers and an improved working environment for their employees. MAPUK took on the job and rose to the challenge.

To foster an open and airy ambiance while preserving the aesthetic appeal of the partially-exposed panelled ceiling, MAPUK conceptualised and specified a tailored ventilation system comprising LDB high indiction linear diffusers and DLA swirl diffusers.

Installed with precision by specialist contractor RSE Building Services Ltd, these diffusers were seamlessly integrated behind the ceiling panels, within tiles and onto the bulkhead to ensure minimal visual impact while maintaining consistent temperature levels throughout the space.

The LDB linear diffusers played a pivotal role in distributing treated air precisely within the room, ensuring optimal thermal and acoustic comfort. Featuring a series of slot nozzles with carefully optimised interior contours, the diffusers were expertly mounted into the aluminium frame, offering individual adjustability to accommodate various flow patterns.

In addition, we supplied an array of 30 DLA diffusers to complete the specification. Known for their ease of adjustment, the diffusers allow for flexible adaptation to changing room conditions, even post-installation. Their highly inductive, fanned rotational flow capabilities enable them to effectively handle high cooling loads while maintaining comfortable air conditions.

Leveraging our technical expertise, MAPUK delivered the perfect solution to address a complex ventilation challenge, ensuring utmost client satisfaction.

Christian Schindler, Lufthansa General Manager UK & Ireland, remarked, “The Queen's Terminal sets completely new standards in customer service and seamless travel for passengers at London Heathrow thanks to its modern airport infrastructure. The terminal’s design, with its open, airy atmosphere, will vastly improve the customer experience at Heathrow.”
