Relief in the laundry
April 1st 2008

The problems of motionless, humid air and high temperatures in Bates Laundry in Leyton, East London have been resolved following the installation of a Breezair Evaporative Air Cooling System from Seeley International (Europe).

Specified and installed by CoSaf Environments, unpleasantly high temperatures of 38°C in parts of the laundry have been reduced by between 10 and 15°C.

CoSaf Environments carried out a site survey and calculated that seven Breezair coolers would be needed to provide evaporative cooling to the main laundry and ironing area, a further two coolers would be needed for the towel area and a single cooler for the press room.

Mounted on the roof, air is distributed from the coolers via ductwork to air grille diffusers to provide temperature relief. By introducing a steady flow of fresh, cooled air, the coolers have accelerated the level of hot air extracted from the building.

They are group-controlled in each area by the Breezair Industrial Wall Control, which enables the system to be controlled at the touch of a button.
