Prologis Park Hams Hall Leading HVAC specialist Jet Environmental has successfully installed an innovative and sustainable frost protection solution at Prologis Park Hams Hall DC2, a new manufacturing and distribution hub centrally positioned in the West Midlands to serve the UK and international markets. Prologis required durable and environmentally friendly frost protection to safeguard the internal fire sprinkler system of its newly constructed warehouse. Collaborating closely with fit-out contractor TanRo, Jet implemented an advanced all-electric air-to-water heat pump system, delivering reliable performance even in extreme winter conditions. After a comprehensive site assessment, Jet Environmental's engineers designed a solution featuring an external air-to-water heat pump and an indoor air-handling unit connected to a thermal buffer tank. This innovative setup keeps a steady internal temperature of 5°C, even when external temperatures fall to -5°C, effectively safeguarding critical systems and assets. The large warehouse facility, spanning 22,892 m² with a volume of 366,272 m³, required a sophisticated system capable of delivering 300kW of heating capacity and an air supply of 10 m³/s. Jet Environmental successfully completed the installation within just three months, satisfying the high standards set by Prologis and TanRo. “Jet Environmental Systems delivered an exceptional frost protection solution for our project at Prologis Park Hams Hall DC2,” said Mike Wall, contract manager at TanRo. “Their technical expertise, attention to detail and ability to provide a sustainable, all-electric system have been invaluable. We are extremely pleased with the results.” Jason Hibbs, managing director at Jet Environmental, added: “We understand that HVAC systems are critical assets, especially where frost protection is vital for operational continuity. Our aim was not just to meet Prologis’s high standards, but to provide an environmentally sustainable solution that performs reliably, even in the most demanding conditions. We’re pleased to have achieved this and look forward to supporting similar initiatives in the future.” This project highlights Jet Environmental’s commitment to delivering energy-efficient and sustainable climate control solutions across the logistics and warehousing sectors.

In the ever-evolving world of warehousing and logistics, staying ahead in terms of efficiency and sustainability is critical. As we step into 2024, several key trends in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are shaping the future of warehouse management, promising not only to enhance operational efficiency but also to significantly reduce environmental impact. Let's delve into the transformative trends that are redefining HVAC efficiencies in warehousing.   The Drive Toward Sustainability The HVAC industry is witnessing a paradigm shift towards sustainability, emphasising the importance of eco-friendly technologies. Heat pumps are emerging as the vanguards of this movement, offering a cleaner alternative to traditional gas combustion heating. These systems are gaining traction not only for their ability to operate in colder climates with careful system design, but also for their contribution to decarbonising the heating processes. Jet Environmental systems has developed robust solutions that work in sub-zero conditions which can be a weakness of heat pumps. Furthermore, the focus on circularity, emphasising the recycling and reuse of refrigerants, particularly HFOs, underscores a global move towards sustainability. These refrigerants are lauded for their low GWP and zero ODP, aligning with environmental goals https://www.hvacinformed.com/insights/megatrends-making-move-2024-co-1567069171-ga.1700104508.html   Embracing Connectivity and Predictive Maintenance The integration of IoT connectivity into HVAC systems marks a significant trend, transforming how these systems are monitored and maintained. This digital leap enables remote control and monitoring of HVAC operations, paving the way for predictive maintenance. By identifying potential issues before they escalate, smart systems enhance operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and reduce service costs. The result is a more responsive, efficient, and cost-effective HVAC management approach. This is something Jet Envoironmental have been at the forefront of, with our 24/7 monitoring, remote diagnosis, programming and reporting. KPI reporting for multi-site customers that provides confidence and evidence of system performance for applications such as pharmaceutical storage. Coupled with energy consumption data, Jet’s operational report provide extremely valuable management data.   Green Systems and the Rise of Ductless Solutions Amid rising energy costs and environmental concerns, the demand for green HVAC solutions is surging. Innovations such as geothermal heat pumps and ductless systems stand out for their environmental benefits. Geothermal options, in particular, offer an energy-efficient solution by leveraging natural heat sources that can provide huge cost savings in warehouse temperature control. Jet Environmental’s smaller ductless systems provide a flexible alternative for spaces where traditional ducted systems are impractical. These advancements represent a leap toward reducing the carbon footprint of HVAC operations.     Forward-Looking HVAC Trends  In conclusion, the evolution of HVAC systems in the context of warehousing is marked by a strong push towards the reduction in the use of fossil fuels, efficiency, and technological integration. By embracing these trends, the warehousing sector can look forward to playing its part in reducing the environmental impact of HVAC systems. Jet Environmental Systems are leading the way in many of the key development trends; bridging the gap between logistics operations knowledge and HVAC expertise.
