Evaporative cooling is natural, environmentally friendly and cost effective, using less than 10% of the electricity needed to run traditional air conditioning. The stability of pharmaceutical products often requires precise temperature control. It’s an excellent match, as you’ll see. If you need to cool your pharmaceutical facility to perfection whatever the weather, read on.
The days of expensive, inefficient, complicated old-school aircon are over. Evaporative pharmaceutical cooling systems are an excellent alternative, harnessing simple, low cost water evaporation to keep temperatures exactly where they need to be, even in the most unprecedented conditions.
With the climate steadily warming and the weather becoming ever-less predictable, the pharma sector needs systems that maintain the critical balance required to store temperature-sensitive products safely. Luckily evaporative pharmaceutical cooling systems can save as much as 90% on cooling costs as well as creating MHRA compliant conditions without refrigeration. You also slash carbon emissions compared to regular aircon - and the air that’s output is always 100% fresh and clean.
The high cost of refrigeration means MHRA approved warehouses often rely on ventilation. But ordinary ventilation struggles to cope when temperatures spike then stay hot, as we’re seeing in the unexpected long-term heatwaves we’re increasingly experiencing.
Evaporative pharmaceutical cooling provides a reliable solution that complies with the needs of temperature-sensitive products as well as meeting the right MHRA standards and ticking the financial boxes. You’ll be impressed by its ability to dovetail perfectly with the complex demands of pharmaceutical storage, transportation, and distribution. No wonder it’s being used by some of the EU’s biggest pharmaceutical businesses.
While the stringent standards set by the MHRA are a tough call for traditional systems, evaporative cooling can be extremely precisely engineered to meet and exceed MHRA compliance, safeguarding your facility even when the heat is prolonged.
Imagine you’re a world-class developer and manufacturer of wound care and surgical products, which come with special storage needs. You’re tasked with making sure the conditions in a new or existing warehouse meet MHRA approved standards.
The standards say you have to store your pharmaceutical products between 5C and 25C whatever the weather outdoors, and you want to do it in a future-proof way that won’t let you down as the climate becomes even less predictable.
Evaporative cooling units are the perfect solution, designed to cool big areas like warehouses effectively and efficiently, even when the doors are constantly being opened and closed. In our example the ideal configuration involves seven wall-mounted cooling units and a corresponding number of extraction fans, each controlled with a timer and thermostat.
As well as the coolers, a clever temperature mapping system uses nine remote rack-mounted sensors and one external sensor to automatically log temperatures and present them online, giving excellent visibility and control to the team responsible for cooling. Better still, at night they set lower temperatures to take advantage of free ‘ventilation only’ cooling.
The result is warehousing that’s perfect for storing products in line with MHRA standards. The cooling system costs 90% less than aircon to run, uses no refrigerants whatsoever, and contributes to sustainability targets. It works like a dream, reliably keeping the facility below the maximum temperature, and the temperature mapping system makes it super-easy to monitor and control.
That’s what we call a winner – and it’s just as simple to retro-fit as it is to install the tech to a new building. If that sounds good to you, join the evaporative cooling revolution – get in touch and together we’ll explore how it’ll work at your place.
