Mezzanine floor cooler
Watkins Hire, the UK’s largest supplier of
During last summer Watkins Hire were called to solve uncomfortable working conditions on a mezzanine floor at a UK manufacturing company who had installed the mezzanine floor at their prestige distribution centre in London. When they started to use it they found that the working temperature for the operators on this new mezzanine floor was not as comfortable. This common problem with mezzanines is largely due to the natural convection currents moving hot air upwards through the building.
There are three typical methods which can be employed to provide temporary space cooling to mezzanine floors; ventilation air handlers, evaporative cooling or a refrigeration based air conditioning system. The choice of system can have a dramatic effect on the total carbon emissions and running costs of the building due to their different electrical demands.
Ventilation Air handler systems can provide comfort cooling for most of the year. During prolonged periods of high temperatures they are unable to maintain internal temperatures below 25°C. Refrigeration based systems are effective but can be expensive to operate. Mobile Evaporative coolers, which can produce air consistently below 22°C in the UK climate, provides an temporary cooling solution which consumes only a fraction of the electricity.
For Mezzanine floor cooling Mobile evaporative coolers typically consumes less than 15% of the electricity compared to the equivalent rated refrigeration based cooling system.
