Warehouse ventilation

Warehouse ventilation Warehouse · 01

Warehouse ventilation protects goods and people, not “air under the ridge for its own sake”. Aurum Prodest sizes air change to the stock — dry pallet, food, pharma, textiles — and installs so racking does not kill the flow and dock doors do not dump the whole volume.

A 6–12 m shed is not an office: heat sits under the roof, humidity at the floor. We mix or split discharge by height, or upper pallets sweat and lower ones damp. Food and pharma get humidity limits; dry storage is condensate control on the steel.

  • Design for stock type and clear height
  • Air distribution around racking
  • Condensate control at roof and trusses

About the service

A 6–12 m shed is not an office: heat sits under the roof, humidity at the floor. We mix or split discharge by height, or upper pallets sweat and lower ones damp. Food and pharma get humidity limits; dry storage is condensate control on the steel.

Dock doors are the climate’s enemy. We specify air or heat curtains, vestibules where the plan allows, and a local extract at the doors. Discharge runs along aisles, not into rack ends.

Chemicals, paints or batteries are not a generic hangar: emergency extract, spark-safe kit, sensors. We do not fake that with a roof fan; we either design the class or say which specialist is needed beyond HVAC.

Install without a long shipping stop: night windows, agreed aisles, lifts. Rectangular mains on trusses from our shop. Roof fan loads are checked on sandwich hangars.

Commissioning: zone flows, curtain check, briefing not to switch the system off “because it draughts”. Temperature-controlled stores are coordinated with industrial cooling. 5-year workmanship warranty.

Where we apply this

Brands

Ventilation succeeds on airflow design and ducts more than brand stars. Pros/cons of units we install often.

FAQ

Are a few roof fans enough?

For dry storage sometimes, if there is no condensate or hazard. Food, pharma and chemicals need organised supply, humidity and emergency modes.

Why is cardboard wet on the top pallet?

Warm moist air under a cold night roof. Mixing, insulation and air change — not a heater in the corner.

Will ducts fight the forklift?

Mains on trusses, drops coordinated with logistics before install, otherwise someone will cut the duct later.

Do we run ventilation in winter?

Yes — condensate, odour, staff hygiene. “Off until spring” is how stock is damp by March.

Cold stores?

Air change and door curtains — yes. The refrigeration plant is a parallel design we interface with.

How long does warehouse ventilation take?

A small hangar — days. A logistics box — weeks in stages around shipping. Dates follow the truss and roof survey.
