How do you air-condition a hangar?

It’s important to know how to air-condition a hangar to avoid industrial and human complications.

Stifling heat can compromise the health of employees, the operation of certain machines and the preservation of sensitive objects. That’s why FoxAir offers easy-to-use air coolers for industrial use.

The benefits of adiabatic cooling

The FoxAir air cooler works on the principle of adiabatic transformation of warm air into cool air. This method has several advantages, the first of which is that it’s economical. In fact, no energy is removed from or added to the incoming air, which passes through a wet heat exchanger designed to provoke evaporation, draining the air of its caloric energy. It’s a natural phenomenon that can be observed in nature. As a result, the cooler requires only a small amount of energy and a water supply to operate.

The second advantage is that, thanks to this process, the warmer and drier the incoming air, the more effective the cooling. This cooling technique has been used for several decades in arid regions, as it is simple, natural and energy-efficient, while remaining effective for instant cooling and hydration of ambient air.

The importance of good ventilation

To use adiabatic coolers effectively, it’s essential to renew the air in the premises, either by creating draughts by opening doors and windows, or by installing motorized ventilation, or controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV). Good ventilation is just as important to ensure a humane and functional workspace.

To achieve this, Aclimax offers ventilation double-flow ventilation systems systems, which blow in fresh air while expelling stale air from a surface area. They are also equipped with a heat exchanger to bring in fresh air in winter without cooling the premises.
