Patak's Foods, now owned by AB Foods, have installed Breezair environmentally friendly Evaporative Coolers into its Bottling Hall.
Green solution to high factory temperatures
By specifying six Breezair TBA coolers, CoSaf Environments has reduced temperatures in the company's Gearbox Plant by over 10degC.
Heat given off by the machines and from the sun's heat penetrating through corrugated Perspex roof was compounded by the fact that as the product is produced for the food industry, production has to be carried out in a closed environment.
Despite some cooling from some existing roofs fans, temperatures in the top of the building reached 40C in peak summer.
Turning to Air Plants for a solution, the company specified the Breezair evaporative cooling system as a cost effective means of improving the working environment for employees.
Following a site survey from an Air Plants engineer six Breezair coolers were installed on the roof of the building ducted to four-way plenums located some 12 metres above the floor at strategic points around the production hall together with four extractor fans mounted in the roof.
By introducing a steady flow of fresh, cooled air into the area, temperatures have dropped by around 14C.
"The Breezair coolers have had a very positive effect on our workforce and made a great difference to the working environment", says Ian Marlow, Managing Director of Concept Plastic Packaging.
"I would recommend installing Breezair in any factory where high temperatures are causing a poor thermal environment".
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.
