Beat the Heat: Rotamec’s Guide to Keeping Your Mechanical Equipment Cool During Heatwaves

As the mercury rises, so does the pressure on mechanical equipment. Heatwaves can wreak havoc on machinery, leading to inefficiencies, breakdowns, and in worst-case scenarios, complete operational failures.

At Rotamec, we understand the critical nature of maintaining your mechanical assets in peak condition, especially during extreme weather conditions. Our comprehensive suite of services is designed to support businesses through the scorching days, ensuring your AHUs (Air Handling Units), motors, pumps, gearboxes, and more, remain cool under pressure.

Understanding the Impact of Heatwaves on Mechanical Equipment

Heatwaves can significantly impact the performance and longevity of mechanical equipment. High temperatures and humidity levels can cause overheating, reduced efficiency, and faster wear and tear. For instance, motors and pumps might overheat and shut down to prevent damage, while gearboxes might suffer from increased friction and wear due to the thinner viscosity of their lubricating oil at higher temperatures. AHUs, crucial for ventilating and cooling indoor spaces, might struggle to maintain the desired indoor climate, leading to uncomfortable conditions and increased energy consumption.
