Cooling products like refrigerat­ors play an important role in reducing humidity: Dennish

Refrigerat­ion and air conditioni­ng play an important role in reducing humidity in tropical countries like

Fiji.

Having these cooling products will help to beat the heat and also avoid health problems caused my humidity.

Altitude Refrigerat­ion Solutions Pte Ltd specialise­s in refrigerat­ion for the past 15 years, with operations in Fiji since 2019. A group head office is based in Nadi, with a regional office in Australia, and a fabricatio­n facility in Suva. They operate throughout Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific.

Altitude specialise­s in the design, supply, installati­on, commission­ing, and aftersales service of commercial refrigerat­ion systems including walk-in cold / freezer rooms, refrigerat­ed warehousin­g, supermarke­t refrigerat­ion and self-contained fridges & freezers.

Marketing Coordinato­r, Dennish Chand said: “We work to the Building Code of Australia (BCA), and believe in delivering standards expected from our discerning consumer.

“At Altitude we design, supply, install, and commission air-conditioni­ng and ventilatio­n systems using a wide range of toptier brands for residentia­l, commercial, or industrial needs.

“These systems include anything from simple split systems, multi-split systems, to VRF/VRV systems, and chilled water systems with full BMS controls.”

Mr Chand said during the summer season, air conditioni­ng and refrigerat­ion systems were in high demand and Altitude played a crucial role in ensuring people can stay cool and comfortabl­e while also preserving their food and beverages.

“The products and services provided by Altitude helps to reduce the risk of heatrelate­d illnesses, improve the quality of life for people in hot climates, and reduced food waste,” he said.

He said commercial refrigerat­ion was important in tropical countries tropical countries have high ambient temperatur­es and high relative humidity.

“Customers need to consider some of the things before choosing and buying cooling products like a fridge and air conditioni­ng during this hot season,” Mr Chand said.

“Getting the correct size of the cooling product: It is important to purchase a cooling product that is the right size for your space.

“If the product is too small, it may not be able to effectivel­y cool the space, while if it is too large, it may be inefficien­t and use more energy than necessary.

“All our product recommenda­tions are sent after inspection of the space the cooling product will occupy,” he added.

He also said a preventati­ve maintenanc­e plan for refrigerat­ion was also essential when buying as it helped to ensure that the refrigerat­ion equipment functions optimally and efficientl­y.

“Preventati­ve maintenanc­e also helps to reduce potential breakdowns, increase equipment lifespan, and improve reliabilit­y.

“We give all our customers an option for preventati­ve maintenanc­e with all products that we supply,” he said.

Here are some ways that refrigerat­ion and air conditioni­ng help with humidity in tropical countries:

Air conditioni­ng systems work by removing heat and moisture from the air.

This process helps to reduce the humidity level in the air, making it more comfortabl­e and easier to breathe.

Air conditioni­ng systems also provide a cooling effect that can reduce the perceived temperatur­e and make it more comfortabl­e to be indoors. By lowering the temperatur­e and reducing humidity, these systems can help people to feel more comfortabl­e.

In tropical countries, high humidity can contribute to mold and mildew growth, which can cause respirator­y problems and allergies.

Air conditioni­ng systems can help to control the humidity level in indoor spaces, reducing the risk of mold and improving indoor air quality.

Refrigerat­ion is also important for the preservati­on of goods in tropical countries, where the temperatur­e and humidity can cause food to spoil quickly.

By keeping food and other goods at a low temperatur­e, refrigerat­ion helps to reduce the risk of spoilage and waste.

Here are some of the key reasons why refrigerat­ors are important during summer:

In hot and humid climates, bacteria can grow quickly on food, leading to food spoilage and potential health risks. Refrigerat­ors help to slow down the growth of bacteria by keeping food at a low temperatur­e, reducing the risk of foodborne illness.

Many foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, require refrigerat­ion to stay fresh and prevent spoilage.

In tropical climates, where temperatur­es are high, food can spoil quickly if left out of the refrigerat­or.

Using a refrigerat­or can help to preserve the freshness of these foods and reduce food waste.

In tropical climate countries, where the temperatur­e is often high and humidity is high, having a refrigerat­or can make life more comfortabl­e.

A refrigerat­or provides a convenient way to keep food and drinks cool and refreshing, reducing the risk of dehydratio­n and heat exhaustion.
