Controlling heat in logistics: a strategic challenge
Excessive heat in logistics warehouses is more than just an inconvenience: it’s a risk factor for product quality, staff safety and overall business performance. Here’s how it works.
Goods exposed to critical temperature variations
Most logistics buildings are neither insulated nor air-conditioned. Under the effect of metal roofs and glass surfaces, interior temperatures can easily exceed 35°C in summer. This represents a real danger for :
- Unrefrigerated food products, whose quality can deteriorate rapidly;
- Heat-sensitive pharmaceutical or cosmetic products;
- Electronic or plastic components that can deteriorate above 30°C.
Even packaging materials (films, adhesives, cardboard) can lose their effectiveness or become deformed, generating indirect losses.
Reduced productivity and increased risks for operators
High temperatures in preparation or storage areas have a direct impact on team performance. The heat leads to reduced concentration, increased fatigue and a higher risk of musculoskeletal disorders or discomfort.
Hot climates also impact team productivity, causing longer processing times, higher error rates and a deterioration in service quality.
Equipment and systems put to the test
Beyond human resources, heat also affects the smooth running of logistics equipment: stacker cranes, conveyors, automated sorting systems… These machines, designed for moderate temperature ranges, can experience premature stoppages or breakdowns in a hot environment.
The expert’s opinion: in this context, it becomes strategic to deploy a cooling system capable of stabilizing indoor temperatures at acceptable levels, without increasing energy costs or modifying the site’s architecture. That’s where OberA air coolers come in. Dedicated to industrial needsThese solutions are energy-efficient and naturally lower the temperature.
Adiabatic cooling: a reliable and economical technology
Physics-based technology
The principle of adiabatic cooling, also known as evaporative cooling, is based on a simple physical phenomenon: when water evaporates, it absorbs energy in the form of heat. Coolers exploit this natural process to reduce room air temperature without the use of refrigerant gases or energy-hungry compressors.
In concrete terms, warm outside air is drawn in by the equipment, passes through a humidified pad or panel (known as honeycomb media), and emerges cooled before being distributed throughout the building. This type of system enables large volumes to be efficiently cooled with very low power consumption.
A smart alternative to conventional air conditioners
Unlike air conditioners, which require virtually hermetically sealed premises, adiabatic coolers are particularly well suited to open buildings such as warehouses, loading bays or industrial workshops. Their overpressure operation also improves indoor air quality by evacuating dust and suspended particles.
Here are a few concrete advantages of adiabatic coolers:
- Easy to install: no refrigeration network or major work required;
- Compatibility with open environments: optimal operation with high air renewal ;
- Energy savings: a single motor to circulate the air and pump the water;
- Low maintenance: regular cleaning, no complex parts;
- Durability: simple mechanical components, longevity of evaporator panels.
The OberA range is equipped with large-capacity water tanks to guarantee extended autonomy. Some models incorporate UV lamps to prevent bacterial proliferation in the hydraulic circuit. The high air flow rate, combined with a large media surface, ensures rapid, even cooling of large volumes.
Optimized for industrial environments
OberA coolers are designed to operate efficiently in difficult conditions: dust, high heat, humidity. Thanks to their robust design (galvanized steel chassis, reinforced wheels, resistant casing), they are ideally suited to the requirements of the logistics and industrial sectors.
What’s more, unlike simple ventilation or air-conditioning solutions, adiabatic cooling reconciles thermal efficiency, energy savings and respect for the environment: an additional argument for companies committed to CSR or to reducing their carbon footprint.
Concrete benefits for your logistics platform
Protect your sensitive goods
Heat-sensitive products can be affected as early as 25-30°C. OberA’s evaporative cooling solutions enable stable temperatures to be maintained in storage areas without the need for costly or complex systems.
Provide thermal comfort for your operators
Moderate temperatures improve concentration and reduce team fatigue. Thanks to cooled and filtered air, you can guarantee a healthy environment, conducive to better performance in the field.
With energy consumption up to 80% lower than that of a conventional air conditioner, OberA adiabatic coolers are a sustainable economic solution. Less electricity, no refrigerant gas, targeted efficiency.
Choosing a cooler adapted to your logistical constraints
Surface area to be covered, air flow rate, autonomy: several factors determine the right model to adopt in a warehouse. Take into account :
- Flow rate (m³/h) adapted to surface area and level of sun exposure;
- Water autonomy in the reservoir for extended use without interruption;
- Mobility if you need to move the equipment according to the needs of your operators (loading zones, picking zones, etc.);
- Ease of maintenance: OberA models are designed for fast cleaning, with accessible parts and resistant materials.
