The temperature in the factory building is too high; how can it be reduced?
Thread Content
There are large compression units in the factory buildings in the north, and the temperature inside those buildings is too high; the units trigger high-temperature alarms. When the temperature reaches its maximum level, an alarm is triggered and the units stop operating. Dear seniors, do you have any effective suggestions on how to lower the temperature inside the factory buildings?
Use industrial air conditioning, or cool down the compressor specifically, with air supply at the work station.
“Cooling is provided at the compressor area, along with air supply at the work station. ” I’m sorry; I’ve just taken on this task. How is air supplied to this area, or what equipment is used for that purpose? I also tried using roof diffusers or axial flow fans; I found that the former were not very effective, as outdoor temperatures are high in the north during summer, and indoor temperatures remain high as well. The latter had a particularly low air volume
The air supply system for the position mentioned on the 2nd floor simply involves using air ducts from the air conditioning system to deliver cold air near the compressor, thereby achieving local cooling. If the temperature is only slightly high, I personally recommend implementing forced ventilation in the factory building. (That is, using a fan to draw in and exhaust air)
It is necessary to do a rough calculation to determine how much air volume a fan needs in order to achieve the desired effect. It also has to do with the layout. Using an air conditioner is too extravagant. Choose the fan carefully. With fans installed on the roof for exhaust, what is the resistance to air intake in the factory building? Can be made into blinds
Based on what you’ve described, using local air supply will yield better results.
Why do large compressors have cooling systems?
First, you need to check whether your compressor is water-cooled or air-cooled. Based on what you said, I assume it’s a air-cooled type. If it is indeed air-cooled, you need to check whether the hot air outlet of the compressor is unobstructed. If this still doesn’t manage to lower the temperature, you can install an exhaust fan on the roof and connect it with air ducts to the hot air outlet of the compressor, thereby allowing the heat generated by the compressor to be expelled directly outside! ! (The hot air outlet of air-cooled compressors is usually located at the top of the compressor.)
I agree with the view above; if the workshop has no requirements regarding humidity, evaporative air conditioners can be considered for local cooling.

The person who started this thread is likely the person in charge of the air compressor room; if that’s the case, the alarm isn’t necessarily caused solely by high indoor temperatures. It might be worthwhile to improve the condition of the pipes in the unit’s cooling water system, for example by cleaning the fill material in the cooling tower
If the height of the factory building is considerable, roof fans can be installed on the roof to enhance air circulation inside the building and to remove humid, dirty air promptly； If the outdoor fresh air has a low dust content, the extent to which windows and doors can be opened can be increased, thereby increasing the frequency of air exchange inside the facility and helping to lower the room temperature. If the factory building is not very tall but has a large span, it is necessary to consider installing a local exhaust system; however, such a solution involves high costs. When managing such equipment, the following points should be noted: 1. Try to avoid having other heat-generating devices around the unit, so that air circulation in the vicinity is not hindered ； 2. Strengthen the daily maintenance and cleaning of the unit’s coolers to ensure optimal heat exchange performance ；
