Breezair takes the heat out of production area
Dormer Tools order installation of Breezair evaporative coolers at the company's large production facility in Workshop, Nottinghamshire.
Looking after the well being of its staff is a top priority for Pataks, so when the existing levels of extraction and ventilation failed to reduce temperatures in the Packing/Frying Areas it turned to CoSaf Environments to find a solution.
Dismissing air conditioning as prohibitively expensive and unable to provide the necessary air changes, CoSaf Environments specified the Breezair system as a cost effective way of introducing cooling into the 1,125 square metre area.
The five Breezair coolers were installed outside the building, with air being distributed via ductwork to air diffusers in the Frying/Packing area to provide temperature relief.

Further Breezair order for CoSaf at Pataks Foods
Patak's Foods, now owned by AB Foods, have installed Breezair environmentally friendly Evaporative Coolers into its Bottling Hall.
By introducing a steady flow of fresh, cooled air into the area, temperatures have dropped by around 8C below outside ambient temperature.
Temperatures are controlled by programmable regulators, which provide four different control modes.
"Refrigerated air conditioning, was unsuitable for this application as it was important to bring ventilation into the area and effect regular air changes", said Bob Sullivan, Managing Director of CoSaf Environments.
"Although Pataks Foods primary concern was for the welfare of its employees, the energy saving costs of the Breezair was a key factor in the company's decision." The Breezair system is housed in a simple, clean, ultra-modern designed plastic casing specially developed to withstand all weather conditions.
The Breezair's state-of-the-art components include an innovative water distribution system, which delivers continuous, balanced water coverage to all the pads.
The world-patented system ensures maximum cooling efficiency and minimal maintenance problems.
An innovatively designed, aerodynamic fan provides a constant, even flow of air over the pads to provide a welcome cool breeze with minimal noise and low energy consumption.
Other pioneering components include a highly efficient water pump that guarantees constant and reliable cooling when most needed, and a long lasting variable speed motor that gives maximum comfort level control.
"Our workforce is very supportive of the Breezair system which has provided a marked improvement in working conditions", says Ray Brown, Projects Manager at Pataks Foods.
"Our workforce is a major factor in the company's success and we firmly believe that they deserve the best possible working environment".
