Cooling down the workshop
Thread Content
Dear experts, it’s extremely hot in the workshop, and we’re not allowed to open the doors or windows. Are there any good ways to cool down the area so that the workers don’t suffer from the heat? There is dust in the workshop, so we can’t use fans. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you very much.
Big ice blocks – big ice blocks placed in barrels at their designated positions
It’s not available for sale here; it was available at the previous place. Is there any other way?
Send out ice pops; in the past, when the weather was hot, we gave the workers salted ice cream to replenish electrolytes and prevent heatstroke.
No blowing of air is allowed; maybe water is sprayed from the ceiling of the workshop to evaporate and absorb heat: lol
Pretend to be insulation panels for devices that generate heat. It can lower the temperature in the workshop and significantly reduce costs while controlling the temperature.
1. Insulate the equipment to prevent heat loss. 2. If possible, install radiators (the kind used for heating in winter in the north); frozen brine should flow through them (as part of the brine return system). 3. Buy large ice cubes and melt them in a bucket – there are many places that sell ice cubes in cold storage facilities.
Maybe I'm overstepping my bounds, but if there are dusty materials present, I wonder whether the workshop where the poster is located is in a zone prone to explosions. Shouldn’t dust-filled workshops be equipped with forced ventilation to prevent the concentration of dust from reaching its explosive limit?
It’s best not to spray water; poor ventilation combined with high humidity can be very uncomfortable. Since I’m not familiar with the conditions at your site, I can’t give specific advice. You could have the workers take turns working in order to reduce the time spent on site, and provide cold drinks as well as heat-relief medications
I chatted with them; our situations are similar
