Top 5 Myths About Industrial HVAC Systems

May 3, 2019
No Comments

Not only are these spaces usually larger than traditional commercial areas, but they often have equipment or products that need to stay at a specific temperature.


Over time, many misconceptions about HVAC systems have developed. Based on our experience helping customers maintain a desirable temperature in their industrial spaces, we have identified five of the most common of these misconceptions and why they aren't completely true.

1. HVAC is the only way you can control your facility's temperature.
While your HVAC system might have the biggest influence over the temperature of your space, it's certainly not the only way that you can affect how warm or cold a room feels. The operation of heavy machinery and the opening and closing of windows and bay doors also has an impact on your facility's temperature.

Another important element of controlling the temperature in your facility is air circulation. Even if your HVAC system is dumping a large amount of cold or warm air into the room, if it isn't distributed efficiently throughout the space, it won't have a big impact on the temperature of the room as a whole.

2. Running HVAC at a high level is simply a "cost of doing business."
While it's true that most spaces will require an HVAC system to help control the temperature, there are things that can be done to help reduce the amount of energy your HVAC uses.

For example, if your system was installed a long time ago, there is a chance that some of your ducts may have leaks that are reducing the efficiency of the entire system. If your vents aren't strategically placed for your operations, you may find that air isn't reaching important areas.

3. The only way to improve HVAC efficiency is to repaired/upgraded it.
There is no doubt that repairing and/or upgrading your HVAC systems will improve its efficiency, especially if it has been a while since the system was looked at by a technician. A repair may help correct hidden issues that are common in large, complex HVAC systems.
In addition, you can look into alternative methods to make your HVAC system more effective. Using fans to circulate air can be a viable solution: in fact, some fans can lower the "effective temperature" of a room by up to 8° when used in conjunction with air conditioning systems. This makes your HVAC cooling more efficient by eliminating the need to run it at a higher level.

4. HVAC will prevent dangerous fumes/chemicals in my space.
A well-designed HVAC system will certainly help you ventilate your space and remove fumes and chemicals that can be harmful to both employees and product inventory in an industrial setting.

It's important to remember that if you don't have sufficient airflow in your space, even a top-notch HVAC system won't do much to remove harmful air pollutants from the area. HVAC systems are designed to change the temperature of the air in a particular space, not to move air around. The best solution for circulatinghttps://macroairfans.com/disperse-weldings-fumes-improve-air-quality-facility/ air is an HVLS fan designed for maximum airflow. Improving airflow in your space is a much more effective solution than relying on your HVAC system alone to cut down on the presence of fumes and airborne chemicals.

5. I can reduce humidity by lowering the temperature of my HVAC system.
This misconception is partially true, but not completely. Your HVAC system can have an impact on humidity, since colder air holds less moisture than warmer air. Keeping a space cooler with your HVAC will have an affect on humidity.

However, humidity is also affected by airflow. When air is continuously moving around the facility, it doesn't get a chance to stagnate, which cuts down on the "stuffy" feeling that people experience in a humid area. This also prevents mold and bacteria from developing in your space, which is especially important for industrial areas with perishable items. If humidity is a big problem, you can consider specialized de-humidification systems that help regulate moisture in the air.

The Bottom Line
Your HVAC system can be a critical temperature regulation tool for the health and productivity of your facility. But there are other techniques for climate control that are more efficient than relying on HVAC alone, so be sure to investigate your specific needs to choose the best solution.
