Is your factory cooling system up to the task?
Keeping the right temperature in your factory is absolutely crucial. When things heat up or cool down too much, it can cause all sorts of challenges, including:-
Your staff will often be undertaking physically strenuous tasks using large-scale machinery, and they may be required to wear heavy protective gear. If they can’t stay cool, this can raise the risk of injuries and workplace accidents.
Many manufacturing processes and storage of stock requirements are temperature sensitive. If your factory or warehouse environment is too hot, this can impact the quality of your output and lead to consistency issues and failure of goods.
Most industrial equipment can only function optimally within a specific temperature range. If your cooling system isn’t effective, you may find yourself facing frequent downtime or excessive repair costs.
Energy costs have been on the rise in recent years, leading to a significant impact on your bottom line. An inefficient cooling system will only make matters worse.
You have a legal obligation to protect the health of your staff and provide a safe working temperature – but this can be a major challenge if your cooling system isn’t fit for purpose.
Each of these issues can lead to higher costs, production inefficiencies, and even fines or legal repercussions. Taken together, they can pose a significant issue for your business. Thankfully, they can all be tackled with a single solution: an up-to-date, energy-efficient factory cooling system.
The benefits of a bespoke factory cooling solution
A custom-designed factory cooling solution can have a transformative effect on your business. By investing in a cutting-edge system that’s tailored to your space, you’ll benefit from:
- Safer and more productive staff. If you can keep your staff at a comfortable temperature all day long, they won’t just be at lower risk of injury – they’ll be more productive, too.
- Lower energy costs. With a modern cooling system that is specifically designed for your factory, you’ll use less energy to keep your space cool, cutting down on your energy bills.
- Reduced environmental impact. Customers and clients are increasingly committed to supporting eco-friendly businesses. An energy-efficient cooling system can help substantially reduce your carbon footprint and bolster your green credentials.
- Minimised downtime. A temperature-controlled environment keeps your equipment at its best and reduces the risk of disruption to your production processes.
With a bespoke factory cooling system, you’ll secure a wide range of improvements. By cutting costs and boosting productivity, a cooling system makes for a valuable and long-lasting investment in the future of your business.
Factory Cooling Case Studies
Factory Evaporative Cooling Systems
Evaporative cooling is a smart, energy-saving way to keep large spaces cool, perfect for factories that need reliable, around-the-clock temperature control. It’s cost-effective, efficient, and built to handle the heat.
Here’s how it works: fresh air from outside gets pulled in and passed through water-soaked pads. As the water evaporates, it cools the air, which is then circulated throughout your space. The result? A cooler, more comfortable factory with better airflow and improved air quality—all without the high energy bills.
Air conditioning solutions for your factory
An industrial air conditioning system offers a reliable solution for precise temperature control, making it ideal for environments where regulating temperature and humidity is essential—such as those housing sensitive equipment or materials.
By strategically installing high-performance air conditioning units throughout your facility, you can achieve consistent climate control without unnecessary energy costs. With a wide range of unit types available, these systems are highly modular and can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of any space.

FAQ
Most frequent questions & answers about Factory Cooling
The cost of a factory cooling system depends on a range of factors, including the size of your space and the specific cooling solution you choose. If your factory has specific requirements – for instance, you need to have precise control over the temperature of your space – this can lead to higher costs for designing and installing your cooling system.
However, a new cooling system should be considered a highly beneficial long-term investment for your business. A high-quality cooling system can cut your energy bills, reduce machinery failures, improve product quality and enhance the productivity of your staff. Taken together, these benefits can result in substantial savings over the life of your system.
Factory cooling systems are large, complex installations with unique requirements compared to domestic or smaller commercial cooling solutions. For both safety reasons and to ensure that your system provides long-term benefits, it’s imperative that you work with specialist engineers who are fully qualified and accredited to perform factory cooling installations.
By working with specialists like OKEL, you won’t just benefit from a safe and reliable installation process. You’ll get a full end-to-end service, encompassing everything from the initial design of your system to ongoing aftercare and maintenance.

Unfortunately, there’s no simple answer to the question of how long a factory cooling system takes to install. The length of installation will depend on a variety of factors, particularly the size and layout of your factory and the complexity of your cooling needs.
The best way to get an accurate sense of how long an installation will take is to arrange a free consultation from OKEL. One of our engineers will visit your site for a free survey, which will enable them to provide a more in-depth analysis of your needs and a clearer estimate of how long the installation process will take.
Further, we also appreciate that you will want to minimise any disruption to your operations as far as possible. That’s why we will work with you to plan the best schedule for any installation with the aim of limiting the impact on your business.
Factories are particularly prone to suffering from higher temperatures. Many manufacturing processes generate large amounts of heat due to the nature of the machinery involved. Further, many factory spaces have limited ventilation, meaning there is no consistent flow of cool air.
Given that many of your staff will be engaged in physically demanding tasks and may be required to wear heavy or layered protective clothing, this situation can be particularly problematic. This excess heat can pose a health risk to your staff, as well as contravening regulations on working temperatures.
As a result, it’s imperative that you have an effective and reliable means of cooling your factory space. A high-quality factory cooling solution helps protect your staff, reduce the risk of equipment failure, and can even help ensure the quality and consistency of your products.
At OKEL, we are committed to providing an efficient, effective and reliable service for every single customer. To achieve this, we rely on a comprehensive design and installation process that ensures you’re getting the best possible service from your very first contact to the final sign-off.
