Cooling Hits The Spot For High Ceiling Warehouses

Managing heat in high-ceiling warehouses can be challenging, especially during sweltering summers. Without permanent warehouse HVAC systems, temperatures can soar, making it difficult for staff to stay comfortable and productive. At Active Air, we specialise in providing effective spot cooling solutions that deliver immediate relief — just like one of our projects below.

The situation

When the sweltering Melbourne summer proved too much for one customer in a warehouse work environment, they called Active Air for help with warehouse air conditioning.

What happened

As is often the case, the warehouse had very high ceilings and no permanent air conditioning. So when summer hit the heat was unbearable.

We installed a number of the 4.5kW Portable Air Conditioners throughout the warehouse for spot cooling. This meant that staff could stand in front of them to cool down, or have them positioned at their work station for continual relief. 

For additional, budget-friendly airflow, we also recommend our large commercial fans—available in both 1200mm and 1900mm sizes—ideal for creating effective air circulation throughout the warehouse without high energy costs.

Why it’s used

The 4.5kW Portable Air Conditioner is compact, light, highly effective, quiet and easy to install. It’s also low maintenance as it can easily be equipped with a float controlled condensate pump and, through a tiny 10mm plastic tube, pump the water outside or to the nearest drain. The pump is very powerful and the draining point can be located a long distance from the pump if necessary.

Why spot cooling works for air conditioning warehouses

High-ceiling warehouses often suffer from uneven temperature distribution, with hot air rising and leaving workspaces uncomfortably warm. Spot cooling offers a targeted, energy-efficient solution to this problem. By strategically placing portable air conditioning for warehouses, like the 4.5kW units, in key areas, you can create cooling zones that directly impact the comfort and productivity of your staff. All this without the need for costly and full-scale air conditioning systems.

When air conditioning warehouses, here’s what we offer: 

  • Targeted relief: Cooling specific workstations or areas where employees spend most of their time means you’re delivering relief where it’s needed most.
  • Energy efficiency: Instead of cooling an entire warehouse, spot cooling saves energy by focusing on high-traffic zones.
  • Quick and flexible setup: Our portable air conditioners are easy to move and install, making them ideal for dynamic work environments or temporary cooling needs.
