LOCATION: Clarks Shoe Warehouse
SOLUTION: Evaporative cooling
BACKGROUND:
Clarks has built a new distribution centre at its Somerset HQ. This is housed in a building of gigantic dimensions: 188m long by 152m wide and up to 18.5m high. It covers an area equivalent to six football pitches and Clarks says the building is big enough to squeeze in the entire population of south-west England. The warehouse has the capacity for six million pairs of shoes and is designed for a daily throughput of 200,000 pairs.
Two mezzanine floors totaling 11,000m2 form the main picking area and operating conditions here were proving uncomfortable for personnel. Barry Mosley, Clarks Group Facilities Manager required an environmentally friendly and low cost solution to the cooling of this area. “Clarks has a strong environmental ethos whilst still requiring commercially sound investments. Evaporative cooling has only 15% of the carbon impact compared with conventional refrigeration based air conditioning and in addition Evaporative Coolers do not use potentially harmful refrigerants’.
EVAPORATIVE COOLING SOLUTION :
12 top discharge evaporative coolers were installed in four banks of three to feed the two mezzanine levels. The five speed Evaporative Coolers can run in either ventilation or cooling modes. Each evaporative cooler is controlled by a combined Hygro-thermostat which automatically sets the fan speed and the cooling mode. The Evaporative coolers are linked to the fire alarm system to provide automatic shut down.
SUMMARY:
The 12 evaporative coolers now create a pleasant working environment in this area where temperatures prior to installation were recorded in excess of 35°C
