Amongst the many technical requirements specified by the airport operators, priority was given to extremely high plant availability and operational reliability all year round. Specifically, the requirements were to create a comfortable and consistent room climate in the interior across all areas of the airport, irrespective of the wide ranging temperature fluctuations usually experienced in the Russian capital from -40 °C in winter to +40 °C in summer. Together, the WOLF handling units move 600,000 m³ supply air and 500,000 m³ extract air every hour.
