Maintaining the Right Temperature in Potato Storage with a Mobile Air Conditioner
Maintaining the Right Temperature in Potato Storage with a Mobile Air Conditioner Proper storage of potatoes requires precise temperature control, as fluctuations can directly impact their quality and shelf life. For small-scale farms, the challenge is often finding a versatile and cost-effective solution that doesn’t require major upfront investment. The HP-19 mobile air conditioner from Rex Nordic offers a practical and flexible answer. Norwegian potato farmer Per Try, from Søgne, tested the HP-19 in his potato storage — and also managed to heat his workshop using the same device. Cost-Effective Temperature Control for Potato Storage Per Try faced a common problem shared by many farmers: how to maintain the ideal temperature in a potato storage space without skyrocketing energy costs. Storage temperature has a direct impact on the taste, structure, and usability of potatoes. Early potatoes store best in humid conditions between +10 and +13 °C, while regular table potatoes need cooler conditions around +4 to +6 °C. For potatoes grown specifically for French fry production, like Try’s, the optimal storage temperature is between +6 and +8 °C. Traditional storage systems relying on outdated methods or external weather conditions often fail to deliver the necessary climate controlled storage. Building a cold room in Norway can cost up to one million NOK (approximately £72,000), and the lack of flexible portable solutions limits options for small producers. Try needed an affordable and adaptable alternative — and found it in the quiet portable air conditioner unit, HP-19. Key Challenges in Potato Storage Potatoes are sensitive to storage conditions, requiring precise control of temperature, humidity, and ventilation.• Too warm → potatoes sprout and soften• Too cold → they freeze and convert starches, affecting flavor and texture➡ The HP-19 enables accurate temperature control and consistent air circulation throughout the entire storage period — ideal for reliable climate controlled storage. HP-19 in real use: Field test in Norway Try installed the HP-19 portable air conditioner unit to test its performance in cooling his potato storage. He was able to adjust the temperature precisely to +6.7 °C — the ideal setting for potatoes intended for frying. He was impressed with how quickly the unit reached the target temperature and how well it maintained that level despite varying outdoor conditions. The HP-19 also kept energy consumption low throughout the trial, offering a clear improvement over previous methods where fluctuations increased both risks and operating costs. The unit includes an effective air conditioner exhaust hose, allowing warm air to be vented out efficiently. Try redirected the exhaust heat to his workshop, giving the device a valuable second function. As summer approaches, Try expects to gain even more insights into the unit’s performance in warmer conditions. However, he already sees great potential for HP-19 — particularly for smaller-scale agricultural operations.

Flexible local cooling for expanding Swedish company
When the summer sun burns on the 4,700 m² workshop roof at the company Kvarnstrands in Småland’s Ekenässjön, 8 Rex Nordic Eco Coolers now keep the temperature in the premises at a pleasantly cool level. Inside the workshop of the family company Kvarnstrands, 50 of the total of 95 employees work at several different machines to manufacture and sharpen top-class cutting tools for the wood industry in Europe. The machines used are CNC machines, washing machines, oil purifiers, and robots. In recent years, the business has grown, and with more heat-generating machines in the premises and with restrictions on ventilation on the facade, the indoor climate during the summer months has become a challenge for the company and its employees. Maintenance manager Alexander Sellman did careful research on which cooling solutions could work for the company’s needs – today and also in the future. -Our business is constantly developing, and we need a flexible solution for cooling the premises, says Alexander, who has worked at Kvarnstrands for 17 years. Based on changed EU regulations in the future, the choice of cooling medium was an important issue for us to take into account. Kvarnstrands took help from Rex Nordic’s technical sales advisor in Sweden, Jon Lindahl, to find the best solution for their conditions. The choice fell on 8 REX14000, which are deployed in strategic locations in the premises. -We are noticing that many companies in the manufacturing industry have the same challenges, and it is very rewarding to be able to assist with affordable solutions with the launch of the Eco series, says Jon Lindahl. Kvarnstrands was founded in 1939 in Ekenässjön and the business premises have been expanded several times since then. To be able to shop locally was an important factor in why the choice fell on RexNordic. -We prefer to shop from our neighbours and here we were able to buy the machines through Axima in Vetlanda and get good and fast help and support from a Swedish salesperson, says Alexander. At Kvarnstrands, the evaporative coolers are running throughout the working hours. And the employees have found clever ways to keep the tanks filled and maximize the cooling effect. -We exercise our fire hoses and fill the coolers directly with them, says CNC technician Violand Tiku, who also puts a few ice cubes in the water to get extra efficient cooling when the outside temperature reaches above 30 degrees Celsius. The coolers were delivered just a couple of weeks ago and the employees are already experiencing less heat stress. -Yes, there is a big difference and it is very nice with the cooler air, says Sara Vilhelmsson, CNC operator. Another advantage is that the coolers are energy efficient, the REX14000 model draws only 510W, and can easily be connected to a standard 10A outlet in the room. Violand Tiku has a REX14000 placed about 10 m away and he appreciates the coolness a lot. -It’s really great, he says enthusiastically. Previously, I only had two normal room fans in this corner, but with the coolers’ adjustable fan I can adjust the airflow myself and adapt it based on the outside temperature. Jon Lindahl sees an increasing interest in evaporative coolers in many different businesses, including in milk production and the entertainment and event industry. -These coolers really create many great opportunities for RexNordic to reach new customer groups and I look forward to continuing to develop sales, he says.

Vantaa Gym Gets Cooler and Fresher with EcoCooler
In Havukoski, Vantaa, the Vantaa Gym Club acquired a Rex Nordic EcoCooler at the beginning of summer 2024. Customers of this family business, which has been operating for over 30 years, immediately noticed from the first days that the air in the gym was pleasantly cooler and fresher than before. Vantaa Gym has a gym area of 600 square meters with a height of over six meters. The company purchased a mid-sized REX25000 model from Rex Nordic’s EcoCooler range, which has an air flow of up to 25,000 cubic meters per hour. The cooling capacity of the movable EcoCoolers is heavily based on the evaporation of cold water through a honeycomb pad. The advantages of the cooler include efficient cooling without water mist, large air flow, low energy consumption, and no installation costs. “There is a clear temperature difference in the hall when the EcoCooler is in use. Customers have praised how pleasantly cooler and fresher the air is”, says Mika Holappa, owner of Vantaa Gym. At Vantaa Gym, the REX25000 was placed on the second floor in the treatment room, from where the cooler blows into the gym through an open interior window. This way, the cooler did not need to be placed among the gym equipment or people, and the cool air spread widely in the hall as it fell down. “We really didn’t have the opportunity to acquire any other solution for our premises. We rent from the city, and in the same “hectare-sized” hall there are other businesses, so we cannot, for example, install fixed cooling solutions. At first, I thought of buying ten smaller fans scattered around the hall, but then I discovered the EcoCooler on the internet and decided to try it.” “When the sun shines strongly through the skylights, the hall has been extremely hot and, at worst, felt like “the oxygen is running out”. There is basic ventilation in the hall, but it is not sufficient in hot weather. It helps to circulate the air and push cool air down while also bringing replacement air into the room, but nevertheless, the EcoCooler has done its job. In cooler weather, I have had it on half power. When it has been warmer, the fan has been on full power.” In addition to the REX25000, Rex Nordic’s EcoCooler range includes the smaller REX14000 and the larger REX48000. They are designed for different sizes of rooms, run on standard power, and do not require fixed installation or electrical work. Water directly from the hose to the tank The REX25000 has practically been constantly connected to the water supply at Vantaa Gym, which means that cold water has been constantly flowing into the EcoCooler tank. The water has been consumed in moderate amounts relative to the benefit, and there have been no humidity problems due to the EcoCooler in the hall. The water evaporates from the EcoCooler; it does not spray or cause water mist. “In hot weather, the water is constantly on. I also tried the cooler by simply filling the tank. In that case, the tank (170 litres) used water in 8-10 hours”, estimates Holappa. The open and bright Vantaa Gym has a versatile gym with modern equipment, where professional guidance is available if desired. At Vantaa Gym, one can also purchase gym programmes as well as personal training, physiotherapy, massage, and nutrition advice. The gym also allows for boxing or focusing on stretching exercises. There is a traditional sauna in the men’s changing room and an infrared sauna on the women’s side. There is also a play area for children. “It is important for us to listen to our customers and purchase equipment according to their wishes and needs. Our gym is accessible via an app around the clock every day. One can also purchase only the services needed, even for a single visit in the middle of the night. We do not bind our customers to anything.” Vantaa Gym is located at Hosantie 2, Vantaa. Vantaa Gym Club https://vantaagym.fi

How Professional Evaporative Coolers Work?
Evaporative coolers are an essential part of modern cooling technology, especially in industrial and other large-space cooling applications. Their advantages include energy efficiency and environmental friendliness compared to traditional air conditioning systems. This article examines the operating principle, applications, and benefits of evaporative coolers, as well as the technical aspects to consider when using them. Operating Principle of Evaporative Coolers Evaporative coolers utilize the evaporation process of water to cool the air effectively. This is based on a physical phenomenon where water evaporates and absorbs heat energy from the surrounding air, leading to a decrease in air temperature. Humidification and Heat Transfer Water evaporates when exposed to an airstream, and this process absorbs heat from the air, cooling it down. Coolers use special pads designed to maximize the surface area for water evaporation. These pads are often made of cellulose or plastic, which are hygroscopic and provide a large evaporative surface. Air flows through the pads via a fan, where it encounters water. The water evaporates, absorbing heat energy from the air, thus cooling it. Energy Consumption and Efficiency The energy consumption of evaporative coolers is significantly lower compared to traditional mechanical cooling systems because the process uses natural water evaporation and does not require substantial amounts of electrical energy. The efficiency of these systems depends on the ambient temperature and humidity. They work best in dry and hot conditions where the air’s moisture content is low, as this makes water evaporation most efficient. Operational Principle Adiabatic Cooling: Air is cooled through an adiabatic process where its temperature drops as it becomes humidified. This means that the air’s thermal energy is used for water evaporation without an external energy source. Ventilation and Pressure: In the cooler, air passes through the pads via a fan. The air flowing through the pads encounters moisture that evaporates and cools the air. The fan’s role is critical as it ensures sufficient airflow through the pads and guarantees uniform cooling. Water Circulation: In evaporative coolers, water circulates continuously. Water is pumped to the top of the pads, from where it flows down and evaporates due to the airstream. The recirculation system ensures even water distribution and optimizes the cooling process. Applications in Professional Use Evaporative coolers are widely used across various industries and other large-space cooling applications where efficient and cost-effective cooling is needed. Industrial Facilities Metal Industry: In hot factory halls where temperatures can rise extremely high, evaporative coolers provide an efficient cooling solution that helps keep the working environment tolerable and safe.

Cooling the Hottest Corners of Metalwork with HP-19 Mobile Air Conditioner
In the heart of any metalworking facility, heat is part of the job. Whether it’s arc welding, plasma cutting, or grinding, these tasks generate intense, localised heat, far beyond what general ventilation systems can handle. And while full-hall cooling might seem like a solution, it often proves wasteful and ineffective when the real challenge lies in just a few critical hotspots. That’s why many metal industry professionals are turning to targeted, mobile cooling, and specifically to the Rex Nordic HP-19. When General Cooling Falls Short Walk into any busy fabrication shop in summer and you’ll feel it immediately: the sharp contrast between the air near the ceiling fans and the sweltering temperatures next to a welding torch. High temperatures not only affect worker comfort and focus but also put sensitive equipment at risk. And yet, retrofitting a full AC system is costly, slow, and often unnecessary for the rest of the hall. The HP-19 approaches the problem differently. It’s not designed to cool an entire building, just the places where people and machines need it most. With a compact footprint, wheels for easy movement, and a powerful internal compressor, it delivers cold air exactly where it’s aimed – no ductwork or installation required. Cooling with Precision One of the most important features of the HP-19 is its ability to focus airflow directly at a workstation. Operators can position the unit within a few metres of a welder, plasma cutter, or CNC machine and direct the cool air precisely with built-in nozzles or optional ducting. In practice, this can lower the ambient temperature around the operator by up to 15°C – enough to make a real difference in concentration, endurance, and safety. And unlike simple fans, this unit actually conditions the air, removing heat and filtering it in the process. Built for the Realities of Industry The HP-19 isn’t a plastic consumer product. It’s built for rough environments, with a steel casing, rugged wheels, and components designed for long operating hours. It connects to a standard 230 V socket and weighs around 85 kg, heavy enough to stay put, but light enough to move when needed. Inside, it’s a 4-in-1 machine: cooling, heating, dehumidifying, and purifying the air. This means it’s useful year-round, not just in peak summer. And thanks to its built-in filters, it also reduces smoke, metal dust, and other airborne particles, particularly important in welding bays where fumes are a constant concern. Efficiency That Pays Off At 5.6 kW of cooling capacity and only 2.3 kW of power consumption, the HP-19 is surprisingly energy-efficient. It uses a low-GWP refrigerant, making it a more environmentally responsible option than many traditional systems. Combined with its focused output, that means you’re not paying to cool empty space, just the work that’s actually happening. Adaptable to Any Workshop Exhaust air can be routed out of the space using a flexible hose or simply allowed to disperse if the building is well-ventilated. This makes the HP-19 incredibly flexible. There’s no installation delay, no major changes to infrastructure, and no need to overthink where it fits. You can plug it in and start cooling in minutes. It’s a straightforward answer to a complex industrial problem. Trusted by Industrial Operators Across Europe The HP-19 is part of the new-generation range based on the long-standing Airrex HSC series, a name already well known in construction and agricultural sectors. Its larger sibling, the HP-60, offers even more power for bigger areas, but for many mid-sized workshops and welding stations, the HP-19 hits the sweet spot between performance, portability, and cost.
