High-bay warehouse looking for stability

Protection against temperature fluctuations every square metre of the warehouse

Our client, a renowned flooring manufacturer, invested in smarter and more efficient storage and is now able to use every square metre of its new, automated high-bay warehouse. Up to a height of 14 metres, no less! Our challenge? To protect the highly sensitive goods against temperature fluctuations, from floor to ceiling.

Air flow rate50,000 m3/h
Heating capacity300 kW
Cooler battery200 kW gross cooling capacity, 
115 kW net cooling capacity
Temperature gradient0.2 °C / m
Speedy and homogeneous temperature distribution thanks to the 2-phase air treatment system
Extra storage spacethanks to air-duct system that takes up a minimum of space

Reliable temperatures at every level

Our brief was to ensure that the temperature would not rise or drop by more than 0.2 °C per metre up or down. An air-handling system on the roof with a flow rate of 50,000 m3/h has proven to fit the bill. It ventilates, heats and cools the space at the right moment while the complex air duct system distributes the air throughout the warehouse at a temperature gradient of 0.2 °C.

The distribution system consists of 2 phases:

  • Primary air is injected, cooled or heated by means of a central duct network
  • A secondary jet system limits the temperature gradient height-wise
