\"High-volume<\/p>\n

Do areas of your facility require constant temperatures? Are your employees dealing with significant seasonal temperature variations? These situations all require special conditions – often conditions that are hard to control with people and equipment moving in and out all the time. Let’s examine some climate control options outside the world of HVAC equipment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

High-volume-low-speed (HVLS) fans<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n
These fans have extremely long but lightweight blades that turn very slowly. They create massive air movement at slow speed to keep air moving. Their effect is described as “a gentle breeze” indoors. Like destratification fans, they are excellent for reducing costs in climate controlled buildings, increasing comfort and productivity in air-temperature buildings or a combination of both.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nThese fans move air in smaller volumes with greater force. These fans are deployed at individual work cells and blow directly on the workers to help relieve the effects of stale, static air and hot conditions. These fans create evaporative cooling on hot days but aren’t typically helpful on cold days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Separating temperature zones conserves cooling and heating<\/h3>\n
\n
In climate-controlled areas of a warehouse, it’s critical to preserve climate controlled air. Your main goal is to keep cold stuff cold and your main challenge is how to keep the warm air out as people and equipment move in and out of the cool or cold zone.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

Doors and openings<\/h4>\n
Often the doorways are the critical air infiltration points – opening, closing, in, out – and expensive cold air being compromised with each pass. Vinyl strip doors<\/a> and high-speed doors<\/a> help reduce temperature loss without infringing much on accessibility for a busy dock door or opening. They reduce the amount of time a door is open and the volume of air exchanged which means you are able to keep a more consistent temperature in your cold zone.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Thermal climate control curtain walls<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"thermal<\/p>\n

To reduce air and temperature exchange even further, consider adding thermal climate control curtain walls<\/a> in staging areas, at loading docks and doors, and in less densely packed zones to reduce spoilage and enhance temperature control temporarily. By enclosing work zones in thermal barriers, you are able to progressively control temperatures as the product is moved through processing, staging and loading.<\/div>\n
