How to Plan Workshop Cooling in Southeast Asia

Published by QIANGSHENG · Jingdong Smart Electric Co., Ltd.

Start by identifying heat sources and the areas that need cooling. Then assess ventilation, moisture and the building enclosure before sizing air conditioning. Floor area alone cannot establish the required cooling capacity.

Define the cooling objective
Record whether the goal is spot cooling at workstations, general comfort or a controlled production environment. State the temperature and humidity targets and the hours when they must be maintained.

Map the building and heat sources
Prepare a floor plan with dimensions, ceiling height, roof construction, openings, people and machinery. Mark where equipment releases heat and whether extraction systems already remove some of it. Include photographs of proposed indoor and outdoor installation positions.

Match the equipment to the zone
Compare column units where floor space is available, suspended units where an overhead installation is feasible and portable units for movable spot cooling. Check discharge direction, service access and utility requirements for each candidate.

Account for humidity
Direct evaporative cooling adds moisture and has climate limitations. For humid workshops, confirm the selected system can meet the required indoor condition instead of assuming every water-related cooling product behaves the same way.
