Industrial climate control

Industrial climate control creates a stable and controlled production environment where temperature, air distribution, and ventilation are perfectly aligned. It is not always necessary to bring the entire production hall to the same temperature. In many cases, it is much more efficient to simply condition manned zones or areas where the production process requires specific climate conditions.

The Callens Group designs, builds, and maintains integrated climate systems for large industrial production halls, warehouses, and technical rooms. By combining ventilation, heating, cooling, and air distribution in a well-considered way, we create a comfortable working environment and the optimal conditions for your production process.

When is industrial climate control useful?

Industrial climate control is recommended when temperature and air distribution in your working environment need to be accurately controlled. This could be to guarantee consistent product quality, to stabilize sensitive processes, or to create a comfortable working environment for your employees. Depending on the application, the solution may consist of industrial cooling, heating, ventilation, or a combination of these technologies. By designing these systems as one integrated whole, you create the desired climate conditions in specific work zones or entire production halls, warehouses, or technical rooms in an energy-efficient way.

How does industrial climate control contribute to a more sustainable production environment?

Planned maintenance, an unexpected breakdown or a temporary capacity increase does not mean you have to fall back on outdated or less efficient heat production. Temporary heat supply can also fully support your company’s sustainability goals today.

Callens Group has a modern rental fleet with high-efficiency steam boilers, industrial hot-water boilers and thermal-oil boilers that can be deployed quickly and comply with the applicable safety and environmental standards. This lets you combine maximum business continuity with an efficient and future-oriented heat supply.

In ventilation and climate control systems, heat is removed through extracted air. By integrating heat recovery intelligently, this energy can be reused to heat fresh ventilation air or for other applications within your building or production process. This reduces primary energy consumption and increases the overall efficiency of your installation.

The energy consumption of industrial climate control is largely determined by how air flow rates, air distribution, and control technologies are aligned. By optimizing these parameters, energy consumption can be reduced significantly. This lowers the operating costs of your working environment.

The phase-out of F-gases makes natural refrigerants the logical choice for industrial cooling installations. That is why the Callens Group now works with natural refrigerants such as CO₂, ammonia, propane, and isobutane. These refrigerants combine a very low climate impact with excellent energy performance and comply with the strictest current and future regulations.

A well-considered air technology concept starts on your site

Plans and technical data sheets only tell part of the story. That is why Callens Group always looks beyond theoretical calculations or third-party studies.

Our engineers start every project with a thorough on-site analysis. We map airflows, heat sources, moisture load, air flow rates, pressure differences, and the interaction between different processes. At the same time, we examine how employees move through the production environment and which climate conditions are needed to guarantee both working comfort and process stability.

Based on these measurements and practical insights, we then develop a technical concept that correctly dimensions the entire installation. This gives you an air technology solution that performs optimally in practice, day after day.

Questions? We have the answers.

The airflow rate and cooling or heating capacity are determined based on the dimensions of the space, internal heat loads, moisture generation, air changes, and required temperature. Open doors, machines, extraction, and future production expansions also play a role.

Firstly, the moisture sources and desired relative humidity are determined. Ventilation, cooling, and heating can then be combined to remove moisture and limit condensation. This also helps prevent corrosion, mold growth, and quality issues.

A stable temperature requires the right combination of capacity, airflow rate, and air distribution. It is not always necessary to bring the entire hall to the same temperature. Often, it is more efficient to condition work zones or critical process zones in a targeted way.

Machines, production lines, outdoor conditions, and heat losses determine how much cooling or heating capacity is needed. The Callens Group maps these loads and calculates the capacity required to maintain the desired temperature.

Energy consumption can be reduced by aligning air flow rates with actual needs, controlling fans with frequency drives, and reusing heat from the installation. Good air distribution and correctly dimensioned cooling and heating systems also help limit consumption.
