Gasser Provides

Seating Solutions

Gasser Chair Co. has more than 47 years of experience in manufac- turing commercial contract seating.

Today, Gasser Chair employs ap- proximately 185 people and is still family owned. Gasser Chair devel- oped specialty seating for the gam- ing industry starting about 25 years ago. Applied to the chair's backrest is Gasser Chair's patented Protected

Edge, a feature designed by the com- pany to protect the upholstery at its most vulnerable points. The company's complete range of furni- ture includes armchairs, sidechairs, barstools, settees and stackable chairs, offered in several hundred styles, and also with the capability to be custom designed to client specs.

Quick-Release is a patented gam- ing seating system by Gasser Chair that is now in use in casinos around the world. The growing popularity of the system is due, in part, to the company's ability to manufacture custom seat and back styles, as well as custom-designed bases to accom- modate a particular requirement.

Its greatest feature, perhaps, is its ability to be easily removed to allow access to gaming machines for repo- sitioning, housekeeping, coin-drop pickup and maintenance.

Helps "Clear The Air"

Poor IAQ affects patrons and employees alike. In 1993, the EPA estimated that employees alone were suffering $60 billion annually in lost productivity related to illness. To date, poor IAQ has cost American business an estimated $15 billion in health-related care and employee sick days. Many factors influence

IAQ. Air flow, odors, smoke, heat, cooling and personnel loads and humidity are among the many con- siderations. The HVAC system sup- plied on the casino riverboat Shreve- port Rose is the culmination of many hours of simulations and analyses using various real world scenarios.

Following are some of the areas con- sidered in the HVAC system design: the interjection of outdoor air for ventilation and smoke removal; the use of humidity controllers with re- heat; maintaining a positive static pressure within the vessel by the use of modulating outside air damp- ers; centrally located HVAC control panel to monitor and regulate tem- peratures and humidity of separate climatic zones on each deck level; and control and regulation of the chill water flow to maximize effi- ciency of each air handler unit.
