Climate Equipment Hire

Sourcing Climate Equipment

There is now a large choice of climate control equipment available to hire or buy to control the climate and temperature in a room at home or at work.

The traditional method of creating a comfortable living and working environment has been through the use of powerful electric cooling fans.

Powered by electric a fan can be desk mounted, pedestal mounted, floor mounted, or also located on the ceiling creating a cool downdraft of cold air when in use.  Electric fans are manufactured in different sizes and specifications dependant on their intended use. This is whether they are to be used in a domestic home or an industrial or commercial environment such as a retail shop, office, warehouse, or even a factory. 

Becoming more popular all the time is the use of an air conditioner. As with a cooling fan an air conditioner is powered by standard mains electric and can be purchased or hired in different sizes and specifications.

Most portable units only require an opening window or door to allow hot air to escape from the unit. This is normally through a flexible pipe like can be seen on air movers and some non condensing tumble dryers. Most air conditioner units have a variable temperature control to set the cool air created to the required level. Standard models usually can produce cold air as low as 18 degrees centrigrade (depending on the conditions the unit is sited in).

The majority of portable air conditioners are quiet running with only the units blower fan being noticeable. The fan fitted normally has an adjustable facia plate to allow cold air to be directed to either personnel or equipment providing an ideal climate.

Industrial air conditioners can work in a different way to home or office units. It is typical for an industrial unit to be what is correctly known as a spot cooler or evaporative cooler. This works by passing air over a water supply (normally a tray or grille), the water then evaporates and in doing so is cooled. The cold air then is blown out of the units vents or cooling pipes in the required direction.   

The vents (or pipes if fitted) on an industrial air conditioner are normally adjustable for direction as well as height giving control and providing cool spots or areas to work in, this why they are commonly referred to as a moving spot cooler unit.
