How to Keep Your Project Running Smoothly With Temperature Control Equipment
It’s not enough to simply expand your fleet. You need to keep your equipment in the best condition for the highest level of efficiency, productivity and comfort. Temperature control equipment can help. Keep your projects running smoothly whether it’s with a ground heater or an air-cooled chiller. Temperature control equipment can keep your fleet in the best condition and also improve the environment at your business or job site.
Different Types of Temperature Control Equipment
Cleveland Brothers has all the Cat® temperature control equipment you need, starting with heaters and dehumidifiers. These heaters come in a variety of direct-fired, indirect-fired and flameless options. They have features including flame-free technology and kerosene, propane, diesel and natural gas power sources. For dehumidifiers, you can control the humidity and moisture in your environment with our 1000 to 5000-CFM options. They’re lightweight and corrosion-resistant to give you maximum durability.
Maybe you need to keep things cool. Air conditioners and chilling units from Cat have a rugged construction that helps them withstand heavy use and demanding outdoor environments. The double-wall construction makes them extraordinarily quiet, and the energy-efficient air-cooled and water-cooled models are perfect for keeping operating costs down.
How a Temperature Control Unit Can Help You
Temperature is often tied to your success. A temperature control unit can help you out at a remote worksite, a factory floor or even at an event. Air chillers can help you keep your environment cool no matter what the seasonal temperatures bring. Not only will this keep your machines running in optimal condition, but it’ll also make the job site more tolerable for your workers. This can save costly downtime from either workers getting sick or machines malfunctioning from the heat.
A heater or dehumidifier operates in much of the same way. For example, you can’t break ground at your job site if it’s frozen. You also can’t use your equipment if it’s not functioning correctly in the cold weather. Keep your equipment and your workers safe by controlling the temperature, whether it’s bringing it up a few degrees or getting rid of the moisture in the air.
Different Purchasing Options
At Cleveland Brothers, you can get Cat temperature control equipment new, used or choose rental options. New equipment is a great option if you’re planning on continually using it throughout the seasons. If you live in a cold climate, it could be worth it to invest in a new heater. The benefits of new Cat equipment is that you can choose the exact option that meets your specifications. Although it’s a significant initial investment, it pays off the more you use it.
You can also purchase a used unit if you know you need it for a few situations, but don’t want to shell out thousands of more dollars for a new solution. Used equipment might mean getting an older model, but you don’t need to sacrifice quality. Older Cat models still provide the durability, versatility and exceptional performance that’s attached to the Cat name.
Finally, you can rent a Cat temperature control unit if you’ll only need the solution for a day or two. This is ideal in situations where you know you’ll have a few cold or warm days at a job site. Watch how often you’re renting the equipment, though. If you find that you’re using it more often than you anticipated, it could be worth purchasing the machine new or used. Renting is also a great option if you want to try out a chiller or a heater but aren’t ready to buy one outright.
What to Know Before You Buy
Before you buy or rent temperature control equipment, you need to plan for what you need. Talk to Cleveland Brothers about what kind of system is the best for you. Short-term solutions include fluid cooling and air conditioning. Fluid cooling uses a heat exchanger or process tanks to keep the temperature of a liquid stable. Air conditioning will maintain the temperature, moisture content and cleanliness of the air in a space.
After that, check and see how much capacity you need. Cooling loads are measured in tons. You need to figure out the size of the space that needs to be cooled, the number of people that will be in the room, the kind of activity you’re performing and the type of structure and insulation. Also, think about the logistics of getting the equipment from Cleveland Brothers to your location. Look at where you want to put it, what you’ll need to connect it to and more.
