Are you ready for the next heat wave or the great cold snap?

Are you ready?

Since the beginning of the industrial era, due to the increase in the level of CO2 in the atmosphere, the Earth has been warming. Slowly but surely, with episodes of heatwave more and more frequent. However, extreme cold waves - early or late - may well occur in a context of proven global warming.
For all companies around the world, employee well-being is now a real subject. As we know, quality of life at work, attractiveness and industrial performance of companies are closely linked.

heat is a condition that affects all workspaces, whether indoors or outdoors.
We already knew that the last four years had been the warmest since recordings began in 1850.

And the curve doesn't seem to be sagging, which is an indication of upcoming temperatures, so it's a good idea to be prepared for the hot weather. Elsewhere, throughout the Mediterranean basin, temperatures are breaking heat records, regularly exceeding 40 ° C.
In the event of excessive heat or heatwave, if labor law provides for measures guaranteeing working conditions that preserve the health of employees, without however giving a precise indication of the maximum temperatures beyond which employees must stop to work, the INRS and the CNAMTS indicate that above 33 ° C, the risks are significant for workers (and for the company with the consequent "right of withdrawal"!).

A hot environment can slow down reaction times and create a dangerous environment that is detrimental to the proper performance of tasks. American studies indicate that employee performance drops by 18% and the number of errors increases by 40% from 29 ° C.

Cold spells are not going away anytime soon, although they are less frequent and less severe.
However, one can continue to regularly encounter severe cold spells.
Indeed, when global temperatures rise, the temperature of the poles rises faster than that of the equator. The temperature difference between the poles and the equator therefore tends to decrease, and the atmospheric currents will tend to weaken.
Yet it is these powerful currents that act as the border between hot temperatures at the equator and cold temperatures at the poles.
By no longer playing this role of "barrier", atmospheric currents will be able to allow cold temperatures to pass through at mid-latitudes.

Working principle

The ClimNTech work by diffusion, with the help of a pump, of water on a cellulosic honeycomb panel which is thus kept humid. The fan draws warm ambient air through this humidified panel causing some of the water to evaporate and the air flow to cool. The ClimNTech thus diffuse fresh air without projections of water droplets, providing great comfort even in places deemed impossible to air-condition. The drier and hotter the intake air, the greater the drop in temperature of the supply air.
Mobile, compact, the ClimNTech are very easy to move on their sturdy casters. Tunnels with handling forks allow secure gripping by a trolley.
Simple to use, it has a connector allowing the connection of a water hose and it is then sufficient to connect it to a single-phase 230 V power supply to obtain a flow of refreshing air. Supplied as standard with an integrated control panel, they can be used for ventilation only or for cooling.

ClimNTech offers 3 standard models, in sheet steel powder coated on galvanized steel, or in stainless steel:

• 24ʺ which refreshes approximately 100m² and renews 125m3 / mn Width. 93 cm x Height. 121 cm x Depth 89 cm. Weight: 140 kg


• 36ʺ which refreshes around 280m² and renews 280m3 / mn Width. 155 cm x Height. 160 cm x Depth 91 cm Weight: 218 kg


• 48ʺ which refreshes approximately 370m² and renews 495m3 / mn Width. 185 cm x Height. 188 cm x Depth 89 cm Weight 283 kg

Economical and respectful of the environment, requiring only a little water and electric current, the ClimNTech consume up to 80% less energy than & rsquo; air conditioning with refrigerant gas. In addition, their implementation does not require any costly installation. Economical to purchase and use, easy to recycle, they represent the most economical and environmentally friendly solution to efficiently cool (from 7 ° C to 12 ° C depending on humidity conditions) areas up to 370 m2 (depending on models) during the hot season.
