Industrial air conditioners – what are they and why are they needed?
In any production facility, heat or cold always causes inconvenience and discomfort for staff. People get tired faster, equipment malfunctions, and products may lose quality. That is why industrial air conditioners are becoming as important an element of a business as electricity or ventilation.

In technical terms, an industrial air conditioner is a specialised climate control unit designed to maintain stable temperature, humidity and air exchange in large spaces. Unlike domestic models, these are designed for long-term continuous operation. They are used in:
- production workshops,
- warehouses,
- farms,
- feed and processing enterprises,
- logistics and technological premises.
In animal husbandry, industrial air conditioning contributes to the formation of a healthy microclimate, stabilising the temperature and reducing heat stress in animals. In poultry houses, it directly affects feed consumption, growth and mortality rates. In piggeries, overheating also causes a decrease in appetite in pigs, and in cowsheds, a drop in milk yield. That is why industrial air conditioners for farms are a technological feature.
Advantages of industrial air conditioners
You already understand that without this microclimate equipment, the farm will lose out economically in summer and even in cold weather. This is because industrial air conditioners are associated with:
- stable temperature regardless of the weather,
- reduction of heat stress in animals,
- increased feed consumption,
- improved growth and productivity,
- reduced morbidity,
- even distribution of air in the room.
Advantages of industrial air conditioners
For example, industrial air conditioning for farms helps to avoid localised overheating, which is often the cause of uneven growth in poultry and livestock. And for staff, it means comfortable working conditions.
Types of industrial air conditioners
Air conditioners in our model range differ in several key parameters. Let's take a look at them.
By power – they are available as individual models for separate rooms and as high-performance systems for large complexes.
By system type, air conditioners are:
- Ducted, which operate through a network of air ducts and allow cooled or heated air to be distributed evenly throughout the room.
- The unit itself is usually hidden in the ceiling or technical space, and only the grilles are visible in the interior. The main advantage of ducted air conditioners is a uniform microclimate without draughts.
- Cassette air conditioners are mounted in a suspended ceiling and distribute air in four directions. Thanks to this, it spreads evenly throughout the room without sudden flows. The main advantage is comfort for people and a neat appearance. Cassette models are especially convenient for rooms of medium and large areas, where it is important to avoid local overcooling.
- Floor-ceiling units are versatile in terms of installation: the air conditioner can be installed either on the floor near the wall or under the ceiling. The air flow is directed along the surface, gradually cooling or heating the entire volume of the room.
- Monoblock air conditioners have all components in a single housing. They are easy to install, do not require complex installation and are suitable for quickly solving cooling or heating tasks.
- Multi-zone systems allow you to connect dozens of indoor units to a single outdoor unit. Each zone can have its own temperature settings, making such systems as flexible as possible. These systems allow you to connect dozens of indoor units to one outdoor unit. Each zone can have its own temperature settings, making such systems as flexible as possible.
By cooling type – air (heat is removed by air through fans. This is the most common option, easy to install and maintain. Suitable for most industrial and commercial facilities), water (heat is removed through water using a heat exchanger. Such systems are more efficient in conditions of high thermal loads, operate more stably, but require access to a water supply system and additional equipment) and combined (combines air and water cooling. Provides maximum efficiency and stable operation even in difficult operating conditions. Used in large industrial facilities with increased microclimate requirements).
Where industrial air conditioners are installed
When choosing an industrial air conditioner, consider not only the area and height of the room, but also the specifics of the processes, the amount of heat generated, the humidity level and ventilation capabilities of the room; the number of animals and equipment, the need not only for cooling but also for heating, and the uniformity of air distribution.
And for the work to be effective, it is important to take care of:
- the correct location of air flows,
- the absence of draughts,
- integration with the ventilation system,
- and protection of livestock equipment from dust and moisture.
VADA specialists will help you choose the optimal air conditioner that will provide maximum effect with minimum energy and maintenance costs.
How to choose the right industrial air conditioner?
The selection of such equipment always begins with an analysis of the conditions in which it will be operated. An industrial air conditioner for a poultry farm is a necessary device with uniform air distribution and stable operation in case of high dust levels.
For a pigsty, it is important to consider the accuracy of the temperature regime, the possibility of zone control and combination with ventilation. And for a cowshed, you need high power, effective cooling of large volumes and resistance to moisture.
The main thing is not to underestimate the power, choose industrial rather than semi-domestic models, consider the energy efficiency class, and also evaluate the possibility of servicing and compatibility with ventilation. When choosing industrial air conditioners, price matters, but even more important is their reliability and energy efficiency.
If you have any doubts, VADA consultants will help you choose the best industrial air conditioner for your operating conditions.
