QUICK FACTS

Background information

Many cold stores face challenges with moisture condensing on cold surfaces. This is a challenge from a work environment perspective as it can lead to slipping accidents and other incidents. But it can also lead to damage to packaging and unnecessary ice formation on refrigeration units. It is easier to cool dry air and regular defrosting is an unnecessary energy burden.

Moisture typically enters through gaps in doors, even if they are professionally installed, and is greatest during the summer months.

Dessa utmaningar går att hantera med hjälp av Airwatergreens NEXT. Avfuktarna har en unikt låg elförbrukning, dom är enkla att installera och har hög kapacitet även vid de låga temperaturer som upprätthålls i kyllager!

Tack vare den enkla installationen kan lösningen enkelt testas och utvärderas innan den slutliga installationen.

What problems did the Airwatergreen dehumidifier solve?

Ett test genomfördes under ett par månader då en avfuktare av modell NEXT 240 flyttades runt och placerades under kortare perioder i fastighetens olika lagerutrymmen. Syftet var att verifiera både kapacitetsbehov och lämplig placering. Under utvärderingen övervakades temperatur och fuktnivå i olika delar av lokalen, samt även vädret, med AWGs molnbaserade Climate Control System.

As the premises are divided into two large warehouses with loading doors on either side, the evaluation showed that it was appropriate to have one machine in the smaller warehouse and two machines in the larger warehouse.

Benefits of using awg products vs. doing nothing?

In the cold store, condensation on cold surfaces can now be avoided. This used to be a health and safety problem that risked accidents and damage to goods and property.

Dessutom optimeras driften av alla kylenheter, eftersom de är mer effektiva utan isbildning. Likaså behöver de inte längre avfrostas med fasta intervaller.

Another advantage is that NEXT can easily be moved in the event of changes in operations or the property.
