The Breezair system has not only provided a substantial decrease in temperatures but has also helped keep paper and ink stable, said the company.
Foxprint Services' sheetfed presses are operated 24 hours-a-day and although the company moved in to its new premises last month, heat build-up from the presses caused winter temperatures to reach 26 degrees C.
Conscious that summer temperatures would be significantly higher, causing discomfort to staff and resulting in paper and ink becoming unstable, Foxfield's production director, Simon Jupp, looked for a solution.
After carrying out an in-depth site survey of the 4,000 square foot press hall, Aircon-Services recommended a single Breezair cooler.
Installed externally, the Breezair cooler has been ducted in to the press hall with cool, moist air from the cooler being delivered via an eight-way plenum.
Simon Jupp commented: "Not only is the Breezair system a lot less expensive to install than air conditioning, it also provides cool, moist air, which is particularly beneficial in the printing industry as it improves production quality by enhancing print stability in hot weather.
Breezair cooling has also provided a far better environment for our staff who will now be able to work more productively during the summer months." Seeley International's RPX, EA, TBA, ICON and Mobile air coolers incorporate evaporate cooling technology.
The systems are claimed to be economic to install, provide healthier working conditions and consume far less energy than conventional air-conditioning systems.
Said to be more versatile than standard cooling methods, Breezair is claimed to be capable of providing sufficient cool air to drive all the hot air out of the building.
As fresh air is continually drawn from outside, then passed over a water-saturated medium, cooled and washed, the potential for sick building syndrome from constantly re-circulated stale air is avoided.
