Supermarkets

The proper air conditioning of supermarkets and convenience stores is a difficult task and offers mechanical designers many challenges. It is one of the most complex applications for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems.

Indoor air can be too warm, too dry, too wet or too cold. Any of these conditions can lead to numerous problems for building owners and their customers. One ideal condition does not usually apply to the entire store. If conditions are too hot — products spoil and smell, too dry — products shrink or get hard, too wet — products mold, freezers frost, glass fogs up, too cold—customers complain. Consumers and employees are searching for a comfortable, healthy environment to work or shop in.

With the tremendous amount of energy supermarkets use and the growing concern for indoor air quality, it has become a priority to precisely control temperature and humidity. Controlling costs, ensuring food and customer safety, and providing a comfortable work and shopping environment is a priority for supermarkets and convenience stores. 

Munters equipment utilizes energy recovery and humidity control technology that can help cut energy costs, ensure food and customer safety, and provide the proper amount of fresh, healthy outdoor air at the precise temperature and humidity necessary for the space.  Stores can enjoy higher sales and lower operating costs when providing a more efficient, high performance HVAC system that creates a better experience for the customers and employees.
