During a conversation about efficient HVAC systems, Kishor Patil states that focusing on sustainability drives an increasing demand for energy efficiency. He also highlighted that the latest developments in the industry clearly show the growing demand for energy-efficient HVAC models.
In your opinion, how do HVAC systems contribute to industrial manufacturing?
With technological advancements, there has been a surge in demand for efficient HVAC systems in the manufacturing industry. Efficient HVAC systems can address industry challenges, particularly improving energy efficiency, which has become increasingly essential.
Facilities require energy-efficient HVAC models to ensure a safe working environment for personnel and equipment in hazardous industrial conditions. Adequate ductwork is crucial in industrial air quality control by removing and disposing of saturated industrial air.
Modern and efficient HVAC systems are valuable assets as they are cost-effective, energy-efficient and reduce waste production. Investing in modern HVAC systems leads to increased production, reduced energy expenditures and operational costs.
How does the installation of HVACR systems facilitate operations in manufacturing facilities?
Large HVAC systems can enhance manufacturing facilities’ air purity, worker safety, and quality control standards. By providing wide and safe airflow channels, these systems can improve overall system effectiveness and reduce the risk of emergencies related to poor air quality. Dust collection systems are integrated into industrial HVAC systems, which rely on ductwork to transport industrial dust from machines to the collection system.
In industrial settings, galvanised, stainless or rolled steel constructions are commonly used in ducting systems for maximum performance. Prefabricated ducting systems may sometimes fail to meet facility requirements, and in such cases, custom-built HVAC system designs benefit facilities.
How do these applications improve efficiency and operational ability in manufacturing facilities?
HVAC systems can directly impact product quality by limiting the movement of undesirable aerosols that could contaminate the final product by managing the surroundings of processes.
In clean manufacturing facilities, HVAC energy usage typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent, with the percentage of energy use increasing as the space’s classification level rises. Therefore, sustainability initiatives prioritise HVAC as a top priority. Cleanroom HVAC efficiency and effectiveness are closely linked. Facilities that use less energy emit less carbon and cost less than conventional designs can be created with some extra work upfront.

What is your prediction for the growth of HVAC equipment manufacturing for commercial and industrial buildings?
The HVAC industry is seeing rapid technological advancements due to energy efficiency and sustainability demand. Various emerging trends include IoT integration in HVAC systems for smart control and monitoring, the increasing popularity of Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems, geothermal heat pumps, ductless mini-split systems, and AI-powered predictive maintenance technology, which are expected to boost the industry’s growth. These trends indicate a shift towards increased energy efficiency, sustainability, and automation in the HVAC industry.
Which cooling equipment and/or technologies are suitable for managing machinery-generated heat?
While commercial cooling systems are ideal for maintaining comfortable temperatures in offices, residential buildings, shopping centres, and restaurants, industrial cooling for manufacturing facilities, data centres, electric vehicle ecosystems, and the food and beverage industries must meet more rigorous standards to maintain consistent process output and protect worker safety. Proper ventilation and space cooling are critical for managing latent heat and preventing worker harm.
