A productive workplace is a vital factor in the success of these facilities, and several studies have been carried out which demonstrate the extent to which uncontrolled heat levels have a determining effect. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
For example, NASA’s productivity research has shown that errors and malfunctions increase exponentially as temperatures rise, leading to slower production, more defects and significant revenue losses. <\/p>\n\n
The following table is a summary of the relationships identified in NASA tests between temperature, production and accuracy.<\/p>\n\n
| Temp\u00e9rature effective<\/td> | 24\u00baC<\/td> | 26\u00baC<\/td> | 29\u00baC<\/td> | 32\u00baC<\/td> | 35\u00baC<\/td> | 38\u00baC<\/td> | 40\u00baC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Perte de production<\/td> | 3%<\/td> | 8%<\/td> | 18%<\/td> | 29%<\/td> | 45%<\/td> | 62%<\/td> | 79%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Augmentation du taux d'erreur<\/td> | 0%<\/td> | 5%<\/td> | 40%<\/td> | 300%<\/td> | 700%<\/td> | N\/A<\/td> | N\/A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n The above data is clear evidence of how rising heat levels in working environments negatively affect productivity overall: as temperatures rise, concentration levels drop, fatigue sets in, mistakes are made and workers produce less. Ultimately, this results in substantial revenue losses for your company. <\/p>\n\n Why are industrial production plants so sensitive to heat?<\/h2>\n\nEvery workplace must be designed to create a safe working environment for its employees. However, industrial production facilities have unique challenges: <\/p>\n\n Practical<\/h3>\n\nIn a production facility with high ceilings and overhead cranes, the installation of ducting systems, such as air-conditioning units, is costly to operate, and can become an obstacle to internal handling operations. In many cases, installation of an air-conditioning system is simply not possible due to the size of the building. <\/p>\n\n Process<\/h3>\n\nIn facilities with heat-intensive manufacturing processes, such as steel production, foundries, car manufacturing, glass production, brick and tile making, baking ovens in the food industry, kilns, furnaces are in operation throughout the day. Although it may be tempting to invest in industrial fans as a relatively inexpensive solution, in these extreme environments, fans will simply stir up the hot air in the space without actually reducing the temperature. <\/p>\n\n Climate change<\/h3>\n\nHot days are on the increase every year. Climate change is becoming a growing concern as temperatures rise around the world. As regulations tighten, it becomes more difficult to provide safe and comfortable working conditions for employees. This problem is even more acute when it comes to production and manufacturing facilities, as buildings are generally large and high-ceilinged, and very often open-plan. These configurations make them more difficult and costly to cool with traditional air-conditioning solutions. <\/p>\n\n Why choose evaporative cooling?<\/h2>\n\n\n ![\"Freshness\"](\"https:\/\/obera.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-aphiwat-chuangchoem-347925-1024x682.jpg\") <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n The cost of installing and operating a mobile evaporative cooler<\/a> is significantly lower than that of standard air conditioning, and practical in almost any type of warm environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Evaporative cooling units harness the natural power of evaporation to cool the air in a space. When water evaporates, the evaporation process consumes energy; this energy is drawn from the airflow passing through the unit, resulting in a drop in temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This means that the warmer the air in a space, the more water can be evaporated, and the more efficient the system becomes. In other words, you get more cooling when you need it most. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n |
