Two industrial air conditioners in the garage
When filming began on the new season in June 2017, the heat quickly became a problem. The team set about finding a solution, with three constraints in mind.
- It has to be quick: the shooting dates have already been set and there’s no question of changing them.
- The immediate corollary was that there should be no massive installation that could interfere with the shooting environment. The use of a wall-mounted air conditioner or split system was therefore out of the question.
- Last but not least, it must be silent: the air conditioning system must not interfere with sound recording, which severely limits the options in terms of cold diffusion.
During the summer, the presenters discovered Foxair’s solutions by doing some research on the Internet. Contact was made immediately. At their request, we supplied them with two of our air fresheners: FOXAIR 24s. This one-piece mobile model is perfectly suited to the needs of the set. Each unit, of the reversible heat pump type, had sufficient power to ensure effective cooling even in the height of summer.
These were immediately available from stock, and were easily installed on the set alongside the other equipment. Thanks to their compact size, no additional equipment room was required. Between them, the units were capable of cooling 340 square meters – far more than a single room. The included accessories enabled rapid commissioning. Their BTU performance was comparable to some of the high-end conventional air conditioners on our product list.
This feedback highlights the flexibility of this type of solution, ideal for sensitive environments such as film shoots.

Foxair air conditioners meet the most stringent performance and silence criteria, even in the most demanding professional environments.
