Practical tips to cool down your warehouse

There are many different generators that can help your business to cool down your warehouses such as the electrical generator, diesel generator, and biogas generator. However, this choice may depend on your business structure and location. There are numerous steps warehouse owners can take to cool their building in summer, here are just a few:


Electric Generator


1. Remove hot air during the day 
Efficient ventilation of warehouses removes excessive heat as well as moisture, fumes, smoke, and dust build-up. Wind and hybrid ventilation products not only help protect goods and machinery but also assist in creating a better workplace for warehouse staff, increasing wellbeing and productivity. In addition, portable industrial fans are also beneficial in large warehouse spaces to keep air moving and cool areas that aren’t in reach of air conditioning units. 

2. Turn off the heat source 
An easy and practical step to keep the building cool is often forgotten – turning off any machines or electronics before you leave for the day. Eliminating the use of any electronic items that aren’t essential throughout the night will help cut down on heat being generated, and assist ventilation systems in cooling the building more efficiently. 

3. Take advantage of the cooler night air 
Commonly used in commercial applications to improve the building’s ability to be kept cool is night purging – replacing hot inside air with cool night air from outside through the use of HVAC cooling and ventilation. Night purging works by employing the concept of stack ventilation which takes advantage of hot air rising and cold air sinking due to their pressure differences. 

4. Ensure adequate insulation 
Insulation prevents cool air from escaping on hot days and is worth investing in to help control the temperature of warehouses and other commercial buildings. High-quality insulation will also provide acoustic benefits and increased fire protection.

5. Consider a white roof 
If it’s time to update the roof, opt for a white one. White or any light-colored roofs are naturally better at reflecting sunlight and heat radiation, which will help slow down the process of heat building up in your warehouse.  White is a popular color choice for reflective roofs, however, reflective coating treatments could be applied to darker roofs to reduce solar absorptance.

Following these tips will help warehouse owners stay on top of heat and keep productivity levels high throughout summer. At Energy Power Systems Australia, we have a lot of generators for your business to choose from. Contact our team for more information.

Why Cat Generators Are One Of The Best

We are big fans of Caterpillar generators.  They are better known as Cat generators .  Leaders in the generator industry, you can never go wrong with a Cat rental .  With so many kinds of generators, different models all running on different fuels, it's a big world.  Generators are excellent for energy storage .  We use them in times of crisis, as back-up options and for rural purposes.  There are many uses for a generator, it can be quite difficult when it comes to choosing the right one.  We recommend the Caterpillar generators for several reasons, as outlined below. Generators aren't toys We don't research a Cat rental for fun.  Cat generators are not toys and not for playing.  That said, some may say generators are like toys for the grown men.  Generators work to provide an energy storage bank so that when they're needed, energy is available.  Generators are an expensive item that, if looked after, can last for ...

Popular types of industrial coolers

From foods to the minerals industry, a variety of companies use industrial coolers as the portable generator to add efficiency to material processing. When selecting industrial cooling equipment, there are two popular types your business can choose from such as a rotary cooler or a fluid bed cooler. This article will provide some basic understanding of these generator sets . Rotary cooler A rotary cooler is a robust and long-lasting industrial cooling solution. The main advantage they have to offer is their heavy-duty drum construction. The robustness of a rotary drum accepts a broad range of feedstock at a high capacity, making it the workhorse of the bulk solids processing industry for both drying and cooling procedures. Rotary coolers use a counter-current air-flow design, along with ambient or chilled air, to efficiently cool material. Additionally, flights lift and cascade material as it tumbles through the drum, enhancing the cooling process. There are a variety of a...

Tips for Using a Generator Safely

When choosing a generator, there are lots of generators to choose from including electric generators , gas generators ,  and diesel generators . While the Australian government is concerned about the environmental impacts of these generators, they always focus on “safety first” as their number one priority. This article will provide some tips for using a generator in a safe way. Thanks to technology, more and more generators are available in the market, however, not many people know how to use a generator safely. Using a generator safely includes choosing a generator, how to install and how to maintain it. Generator Installation Tips  Residential appliances may be sensitive to power surges, especially computers and televisions. Ask your generator installation professional or electrician about ‘clean’ power without power spikes, surges, or line noise. Because installing and operating generators pose safety risks, here are additional safety precautions you should t...
