High-performance solutions to maintain optimal conditions throughout the hot season
Industrial air conditioning presents a unique challenge, particularly during the summer months in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, or the South Shore, when temperatures can soar. Warehouses and factories require reliable, high-performance cooling systems to ensure the comfort of workers, protect sensitive goods, and guarantee proper operation of industrial equipment. At AirGreen, we offer comprehensive and customized HVAC solutions specifically designed for large industrial spaces, ensuring a perfectly controlled environment even under the most extreme weather conditions.
Understanding Specific Industrial Air Conditioning Needs
Every factory or warehouse has unique characteristics: large volumes, heat-generating equipment, goods sensitive to temperature variations, and high personnel or activity density. Industrial air conditioning, therefore, cannot be treated like a standard residential or commercial project. It demands precise analysis of needs, spatial dimensions, and site-specific features.
Key factors to consider:
-
Air volume to be cooled: Warehouses and factories can cover thousands of square feet with high ceilings. This demands systems capable of efficiently managing large volumes of air.
-
Internal heat sources: Industrial machinery and electronic equipment generate significant heat, requiring adequate cooling capacity.
-
Humidity control: Certain products and industrial equipment are especially sensitive to humidity fluctuations, requiring HVAC solutions capable of precisely managing this parameter.
Choosing the Right Industrial Air Conditioning System
Given these specific needs, several high-performance solutions are available for industrial companies:
Centralized Industrial Air Conditioning Systems
Centralized systems, such as high-capacity industrial heat pumps or VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) systems, are especially effective for uniformly cooling large spaces. These solutions allow:
-
Precise temperature control zone by zone: Ideal for adapting cooling to the specific needs of different sections within the facility.
-
Optimal energy efficiency: These systems often recover heat to redistribute it to spaces requiring heating, substantially reducing overall energy costs.
High-Capacity Industrial Heat Pumps
Reputable brands such as Trane, Lennox, or Bosch offer industrial heat pumps specifically engineered for demanding environments. These robust units, often available in capacities reaching several hundred thousand BTUs, provide reliable cooling even during extreme heat waves.
Installation Example by AirGreen:
We recently installed a Bosch IDS Premium R-454b industrial heat pump with a capacity of 360,000 BTU in Laval, designed to cool a warehouse specialized in the storage of sensitive pharmaceutical products. This solution successfully maintained a stable temperature throughout the summer and strictly met the humidity control standards required by the pharmaceutical industry.
Optimizing Energy Performance: Practical Advice and Common Mistakes to Avoid
Industrial air conditioning demands particular attention to details, especially regarding installation and maintenance. Here are several recommendations based on AirGreen's extensive experience:
Avoid Under-Sizing the System
A common error is installing an undersized air conditioning system, which results in higher operating costs, premature equipment wear, and overall inefficiency. At AirGreen, we systematically perform comprehensive thermal studies to ensure cooling capacities perfectly match your industrial facility’s needs.
Prioritize Regular Maintenance
Industrial HVAC systems undergo significant stress. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, optimizes energy efficiency, and greatly extends equipment lifespan. AirGreen provides tailored maintenance contracts covering Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, and both the North and South Shores.
Ensure Proper Thermal Insulation of the Building
Insufficient insulation can result in significant energy losses and greatly increase cooling costs. Before installing your industrial HVAC system, our experts evaluate your building’s insulation quality to ensure maximum cooling efficiency.
Innovative Solutions and Available Subsidies in Québec
It’s important to note that certain high-efficiency industrial air conditioning installations qualify for significant financial aid. For instance, Hydro-Québec offers several programs, such as the LogisVert program, significantly reducing your initial investment.
Real-Life Example from AirGreen:
A manufacturing facility in Longueuil recently benefited from an $8,500 subsidy during the installation of a high-performance Toshiba VRF system, thanks to our precise guidance in selecting eligible equipment.
