Services - Temperature
Control
Optimum Environment
Our clients are aware that to
maximise the benefit from their investment in a semi-permanent building some
elements of temperature control will be required. This is particularly
relevant when sensitive products are stored within the structure, and/or if
employee productivity or comfort is a consideration - often a warm environment
is essential.
Insulation
Insulated temporary buildings are becoming more popular. Advantages include:-
 |
They help to regulate extremes of
temperature |
 |
They are more efficient & cheaper to
heat & cool |
 |
They provide a less damp environment for
storage of items and for working personnel |
Heating
An effective way to heat a large space is with the use of large diesel
fired fan heaters which move the extensive volume of air required to effect a
temperature rise in our high-sided storage buildings.

Cooling
At Aganto we use a wide variety of plant and equipment to achieve our
objectives. This obviously depends upon factors of:-
 |
Cost |
 |
Type of building construction/insulation |
 |
Amount of temperature drop required |
 |
Size/volume of building |
 |
Amount of ventilation required |
 |
Humidity consideration |
Chillers:-
 |
Water and air cooled fluid chillers |
 |
Environmentally friendly refrigerators |
 |
Capacity from 50kw upwards |
Air handlers:-
 |
Used in conjunction with chillers these
provide an ideal and cost effective solution for cooling structures.
Airflow achieved from 5,000 m3/hr to 50,000 m3/hr |
Air Conditioners:-
 |
A single package from 50kw to 150kw cooling
capacity |
Fans:-
 |
Wall-mounted air movement fans are an
economical way of cooling the structure's internal environment. |
Dehumidifying:-
 |
Essential where products or machines are
susceptible to moisture damage, such as paper products or dry foods/goods
storage. Our dehumidifiers Range from 200m3/hr to 6,000m3/hr. |
