Cooling and Ventilation on site

Large construction sites and workshops are notoriously difficult to keep at a regular temperature. Large spaces, generally with little insulation are never going to be easy to keep cool, and if the winter’s freezing weather is anything to go by we are in for a scorching summer.

Keeping the worksite cool is an essential part of effective working. Worker comfort massively affects speed of work, and excess heat is a sure to provoke slower working. Tools also suffer in the heat with batteries self discharging at a higher rate and suffering charging problems if they are not kept cool. Safety is also a concern as hot days often go with windless conditions meaning that solvent fumes and other hazards are not so likely to blow away, even on an open site.

Power Tools Pro has some of the best cost effective solutions to what could be a sticky problem, in their large stock of Rhino Industrial Fans.

The Rhino Crowd Cooler Adjustable fan is an effective solution for multipoint cooling and ventilation. Its 40cm Diameter fan and lightweight construction means that it can be placed wherever required. With 3 speed settings it can provide a light breeze to help cool a large area without disturbing people working nearby, or it can be turned up to full power, where it can shift 6100 m3 per hour – ideal for emergency ventilation or for getting air moving in a warehouse building.

Larger areas need more power and the Rhino Air Raid 800 Industrial Fan is a super powerful machine. The Air Raid 800’s massive 80cm Diameter 7 blade fan can move between 1400m3 and 18000m3 of air each hour. Despite it’s all up weight of 110kgs this Industrial Fan is easily moved thanks to an ergonomically designed chassis and large wheels. The Air Raid 800 is available in 110v and 230v and is supplied with a full manufacturer’s warranty.

Floor standing Fans are very portable and good for spot cooling, however they are not so good at getting air moving in the largest of spaces – large warehouses and work sheds tend to have high roofs which collect hot air. The Rhino Crowd Cooler Adjustable fan is height adjust to around 2 metres and with tilt adjust it is ideal for getting air circulating even high up in the rafters, preventing heat build up in tall work sheds.
