To get the most out of your industrial installation, it is essential to choose carefully from the range of products on the market air conditioningof options. As heating and cooling an industrial hall is a fairly complex task, it can be useful to have a little expert help.
Air-conditioning an industrial hall is not child's play, and it is not worth starting without an experienced partner!
Heating (or cooling) large spaces is a challenge where you need to consider not only the price, running costs or maintenance costs, but also, for example, how to minimise downtime and employee complaints.
It is also important to contract a partner who is responsible for the whole air conditioning process/project (mechanical, electrical, automation, architectural) and can provide a solution that fits your needs (e.g. can ensure a uniform temperature throughout the hall if you want it, or only in zones if you need it).
An accident, a colder or warmer than necessary interior temperature, a complication due to incomplete documentation, or a prolonged installation can make your life hell, so here are 6 tips to avoid them as effectively as we do air conditioning.
Heating an industrial hall efficiently - is it possible?
To find the most economical heating for your hall, you should follow the "path" of energy saving. Taking into account the floor area, ceiling height, function and insulation (if any) of your hall is almost basic. But what next? To help you find your way around the most efficient air conditioning technologies, here's a quick guide.
Let's start with the roof-top, which is a very popular and compact device.
A true 3 in 1 solution: ventilation, cooling and heating. Believe me, proper ventilation is just as important as heating or cooling the hall itself, so don't skimp on that. Since roof top equipment can only be installed on a flat roof or next to a building, it is not the best solution for heating or cooling an industrial hall of any other shape. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to install inside a building to cool the condensers. Air handling units are incredibly important to ensure proper air quality, and in addition, with a direct-cooled air conditioning system, they can work wonders:
- They provide the right temperature and fresh air at low noise levels.
- They contribute to satisfaction with a combination of low space requirements + less maintenance.
- Quick installability is also guaranteed, so you don't have to worry about long downtime.
Heat pump air conditioners are hard to beat (but not impossible).
In addition to being able to set the fresh, recirculated air to save energy, they also provide reliable heating even in outdoor temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius. Climate change or not, this "superpower" can be needed in winter at home. Air-conditioning an industrial hall is very comfortable with this energy-saving and compact unit, which is also a very cost-effective solution.
But let's dive a little deeper into the mysteries of hall heating and cooling, to make it even easier to find the "method" that best suits your budget, circumstances and use. If you're confused by the confusion of abundance, we can help you find the right solution for your you can ask, and of course tailored to your industrial facility quote from you are also welcome to.
Air conditioning large spaces - Advantages and disadvantages of roof-tops
If you need to heat or cool large spaces, a roof-top is one of the best solutions, as it can be installed without a complete machine room, whether it is a warehouse, hangar, logistics or industrial hall, or a railway station or sports facility. It is also possible to simply connect textile ducting.
Its popularity is understandable, as it is a long-established, reliable and compact device that is simple and easy to control, and the additional electric heating and heat pump mean that there is no need for hot water or gas.
Before you think that we're going to write about all the technologies and say that this is the most economical hall heating with no drawbacks, we'll reassure you. Roof-tops are not flawless either, as there is a bit more variability in temperature control than with a classic hot/cold airtemperature system... So for air conditioning smaller spaces, for example, you will definitely need a different solution.
Adiabatic cooling - the cheapest cooling method, used since prehistoric times.
Today's conventional liquid chilled and air handled refrigeration systems are costly both in terms of investment and running costs. In contrast, adiabatic cooling costs a fraction of this.
The principle of operation is very simple, because we cool the air by evaporating water.
Its huge advantage is in industrial halls, where:
- the load capacity of the roof is minimal,
- there is a shortage of blown air, because exhaust is predominant,
- the dust-catching effect is significant,
- helps to achieve the ideal humidity setting,
- no corrosive effect on metals.
It mixes well with gravity ventilation and can reduce the temperature of the air blown in from outside by up to 6-8 degrees Celsius.
What has advantages, of course, also has disadvantages. The efficiency of an adiabatic system depends heavily on the humidity of the outside air, but there is no more cost-effective solution for cooling dry air in summer.
Pre-insulated panels: at the forefront of building load reduction
You could call the pre-insulated panel the "lego of efficient air conditioning", as it allows you to create the desired duct size quickly, accurately and economically. Outdoor/indoor? This innovative technology can be used anywhere, even in a fire-resistant version, the benefits of which are perhaps needless to say.
It is ten times lighter than metal ductwork, so heating or cooling an industrial hall is literally much easier. It can be a challenge, though, as pre-insulated panels require a great deal of expertise and routine to install, so be sure to choose a partner with experience.
Welcome to the zone, or the benefits of zone cooling
If you are looking for a solution for heating and cooling industrial halls under the slogan "only where it's really needed", you have already found the most economical concept, and textile ducting is the best match. This air conditioning solution is the "best friend" of the labour regulations, as you only need to use it where people are working. Thanks to the zone cooling and heating, workers can do their work in comfort (in accordance with Joint Decree 3/2002 (II. 8.) of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labour), without extra breaks and with fewer worker complaints.
Textile air duct, the champion of uniform hall air conditioning and zone air conditioning
And here comes the Jolly Joker, which not only makes heating and cooling more efficient where your industrial halls and your people need it most, but is also draught-free and extremely aesthetically pleasing up to 100%. Circle/half circle/quarter circle? The shape, colour and fixing can be tailored to your taste, plus we're talking about technology that's at least 30-40% cheaper than conventional air technology.
But the truth is that price is not the primary reason why we wholeheartedly recommend this solution for heating and cooling your industrial hall. It's the fact that its washability, low weight, versatility thanks to zipper connections, and software simulation capabilities will save your company a lot of time and money.
Once you have the air conditioning technology for you (and your industrial hall), there's only one thing left to do. Find a reliable team you can trust for all phases of your industrial air conditioning work. If you're looking for experts who will reward your trust with a cost-effective and transparent solution tailored to your corporate identity, you'll definitely want to contact our engineering and construction team with 15 years of industrial experience.
