Temperature control equipment is responsible for a large portion of your energy consumption and costs. Renting energy-efficient models and optimizing your temperature control equipment usage can significantly reduce your overhead costs and environmental impact, resulting in a larger client base and increased revenue.

Understanding the Importance of Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is crucial for your business's success and the health of the environment. Understanding how equipment rental and energy reduction efforts can support your business is the first step to improving your processes and getting ahead of your competition. Sustainable temporary temperature control is important because it presents advantages such as:

Cost Savings

Reducing energy usage can significantly reduce your company's overhead costs. Energy consumption makes up a large portion of monthly expenditures, and increasing temperature control efficiency can help you save more on your energy bills.

Improved Environmental Impact

Boosting energy efficiency can also lower your environmental impact. Temperature control systems, such as air conditioning (AC) units, chillers, cooling towers, heaters and heat exchangers, often burn fossil fuels to operate. Burning these fossil fuels releases harmful greenhouses, which enter the atmosphere, trap heat and raise the earth's surface temperature. Implementing energy-efficient practices can help you reduce the amount of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), your company emits into the atmosphere.

Competitive Edge

Improving your environmental impact can also give you a competitive edge. Many consumers value climate mitigation and environmental conservation, increasing their loyalty to green companies. The more you minimize your impact, the more you can attract environmentally conscious consumers, boost your revenue and excel above competing companies.

How Rental Temperature Control Equipment Contributes to Energy Savings

Equipment rental companies rent quality HVAC systems, chillers, cooling towers, heaters and heat exchangers so you can manage facility and process temperatures without making large investments. Renting equipment can help you reduce temperature control energy usage in the following ways:

Meeting Specific Needs Efficiently

You may need more cooling capabilities during production spikes, temporary projects or peak seasons. Rather than purchasing and using large temperature control equipment consistently, you can rent the equipment you need only when you need it. Renting temperature control equipment enables you to meet specific needs efficiently, reducing your overall energy consumption.

Scalability

Your company's temperature control needs may grow as you expand. Renting heating and cooling equipment allows you to save energy and adjust your temperature control systems to meet evolving needs in the future.

Advanced Features

Rental temperature control equipment often operates more efficiently than owned equipment because it's new. Renting is an opportunity to use the latest models that operate more efficiently than previous ones and meet the most recent environmental standards.

Tips for Optimizing Energy Efficiency With Rental Solutions

Renting temperature control equipment such as AC units, cooling towers, chillers, heaters and heat exchangers is a fantastic way to reduce your company's energy consumption. You can further increase energy efficiency with the following tips:

Opt for the Most Energy-Efficient Equipment

Renting the highest-quality models can help you significantly boost temperature control equipment efficiency. For example, a plate and frame heat exchanger operates much more efficiently than other types of heat exchangers. Ask your rental company which temperature control models operate the most efficiently before choosing one for your operations.

Use a Programmable Thermostat

Using a programmable thermostat can help you optimize an air conditioner or heater's operation. You can set it to maintain different temperatures during different hours, reducing energy usage when your facility is closed.

Optimize Temperatures

While some equipment, such as chillers and cooling towers, must remain at a specific temperature to support your operations, you can optimize heater or air conditioner temperatures based on comfort. Adjusting an air conditioner to the highest comfortable temperature or a heater to the lowest comfortable temperature can significantly reduce your energy consumption.

Install More Insulation

Another way to optimize HVAC energy savings is to increase your building's insulation. The more insulated your building is, the less energy an HVAC system needs to maintain indoor temperatures.

Replace HVAC Air Filters

Rental companies maintain HVAC equipment, but you may need to change the air filter if you have an air conditioner for a long rental period. Air filters collect debris over time, forcing equipment to consume more energy to cool an area. How often you need to change a filter depends on how much you use the equipment, but most industrial air conditioners require monthly or quarterly replacement.

Maintain Refrigerant Charge Levels

Maintaining refrigerant charge levels in chillers, cooling towers, AC units and heat exchangers is important. Refrigerant is a chemical combination that absorbs and releases heat in a temperature control system. Low refrigerant levels can cause temperature control equipment to work harder and consume more energy to cool your building or processes, so you should ensure your rented equipment always has the proper refrigerant level.

Reduce the Water Temperature Entering a Condenser

As water enters the condenser in your industrial chiller or cooling tower, the condenser moves heat from the cooling loop to another medium. Lowering the water temperature can help your cooling tower or chiller operate more efficiently and consume less energy. However, lowering it too much can also increase energy consumption, so you should ask the rental company or refer to the equipment user's manual for the optimal water temperature setting.

Support Adequate Airflow

A cooling tower depends on adequate airflow to operate efficiently. When renting a cooling tower, remove obstructions such as structures and vegetation from its space on your company's property so the equipment has plenty of airflow. You can also adjust the cooling tower's inlet louvers to optimize air intake if necessary.

Perform Light Maintenance

Rental companies maintain temperature control equipment and perform repairs if necessary, but you may need to perform light maintenance or cleaning tasks if you rent equipment for a long period. For example, cleaning a cooling tower's basin, cleaning the fill material and removing sediment can prevent scaling so the equipment operates more efficiently. Ask your rental company what types of light maintenance or cleaning you should perform for peak operational efficiency.
