In industrial environments such as machine shops, temperature control is essential to guarantee the performance of equipment and the well-being of workers. OberA, a specialist in industrial air treatment, offers solutions for adapted to the specific needs of these demanding environments.
Sommaire
Thermal issues in machine shops
Machining processes generate a great deal of heat, mainly due to :
- Machine tool operation;
- Parts friction;
- The use of gas and other thermal sources.
This heat build-up can cause equipment to overheat, reducing its efficiency and lifespan. Above all, high temperatures affect workers’ concentration and safety, increasing the risk of accidents and reducing productivity.
To control the thermal environment in your production and machining workshops, OberA offers innovative air cooling solutions specially designed for these demanding environments. Equipment designed for effective, natural temperature reduction.
Operation of evaporative air coolers for machining
How air coolers work
Adiabatic cooling is based on a simple principle: the evaporation of water. Hot air is drawn in and passes through humidified panels, where it is cooled before being diffused into the environment. This system uses water as a cooling fluid, without the use of refrigerating gases, making it ecological and economical.
Industrial air coolers come in two types:
- Mobile: easy to move, they enable targeted, flexible cooling, ideal for one-off requirements or changing configurations.
- Fixed: permanently installed, they ensure constant cooling over large surfaces.
Mobile air coolers: OberA’s flexible, high-performance solution
At OberA, we have made the strategic choice of offering only mobile coolers for industrial workshops, because this flexibility is a major asset in dynamic production environments.
The expert’s opinion: thanks to their mobility, our IC coolers can be moved quickly to the hottest areas of your workshop, allowing precise targeting of cooling. precise targeting of cooling. This eliminates the need for costly, rigid fixed installations, while ensuring optimum comfort and efficient operation.
The benefits of air coolers in machining
Targeted cooling in work areas
Mobile air coolers significantly reduce ambient temperatures, improving worker comfort and machine performance.
Substantial energy savings without compromising power
Unlike traditional air-conditioning systems, adiabatic coolers consume less energy (up to 80% energy savings), reducing operating costs.
An improved working environment for greater safety and productivity
A cooler working environment helps workers to concentrate, reducing the risk of errors and accidents.
How to choose your OberA mobile air freshener? Key criteria
When choosing an air cooler, there are several criteria to consider:
- Tank capacity and autonomy: a large capacity ensures extended autonomy, reducing the need for refilling. The IC OberA range offers coolers with generous reservoirs ensuring several hours of uninterrupted autonomy, limiting the need for maintenance.
- The right airflow: for optimum efficiency, the airflow must correspond to the surface area to be cooled. Each OberA model is calibrated for optimum air volume, guaranteeing even coverage of large areas.
- Robustness and resistance: the units must be designed for intensive industrial use, using durable, resistant materials. Manufactured with resistant materials, our IC coolers withstand intensive use in the workshop, with quick and easy maintenance.
