When your warehouse needs a proper HVAC system
- 1
Heat that damages stored stock
Food, pharmaceutical and electronics stock all have storage temperature limits. When a metal warehouse roof bakes under Jeddah's sun, the air inside becomes a direct threat to shelf life and product quality. The solution starts with a survey of the racking layout to find the critical zones.
- 2
Workers overheating in the picking area
Workers in the picking and loading area move constantly under a hot roof. Natural ventilation alone is not enough in summer. We choose between direct cooling and evaporative cooling based on a site survey and the indoor humidity level.
- 3
Warehouse offices that are never comfortable
Supervisor and reception offices have different needs from the large storage hall. Putting them on one system raises cost and weakens performance in both areas. We give the office zone its own system and link it to the warehouse with pressure-control points.
Who it's for
Storing heat-sensitive stock in a warehouse
We locate the critical zone in the racking layout and design an independent cooling system with its own controls, keeping that area at a safe temperature separate from the rest of the warehouse.

We join the project at design stage before the roof closes, mapping cooling zones, ventilation and duct routes to fit the racking plan and loading doors from the outset.

- Independent controls per zone
- Airflow check after start-up
How we work
How we work
- 1
Site survey
We visit the warehouse, measure the internal height, review the racking layout and the positions of loading doors and offices, then map the main thermal zones before proposing any system.
- 2
System design and zoning
We design a system for each zone: central or split units for offices and critical stock areas, and evaporative or mechanical ventilation for the picking area where indoor humidity allows it.
- 3
Duct fabrication and installation
We fabricate round and rectangular ductwork in our workshop from G90 galvanised sheet to the site dimensions, insulate with Armaflex or Kimmco materials, then mount the units, run the copper and connect the control points.
- 4
Start-up and handover
We start each zone separately, measure airflow at multiple points across the warehouse floor, and check that all drain lines are clear before handing over.
A zoned system or unplanned scattered units?
| Alrabih | The usual way | |
|---|---|---|
| Zone design | Surveyed and mapped before fitting | Units added when complaints come |
| Ductwork | Fabricated to site dimensions | Flex duct without calculation |
| Evaporative cooling | Where humidity allows it | Fitted without measuring humidity |
| Sensitive stock | Separate zone with its own control | Left in the general air |
| Copper runs | Mueller, weld-free to 30 m | Multiple welded joints |

What sets this district apart
Al Murooj is an extended industrial and storage zone with very large warehouses and extremely high metal roofs facing intense daily heat. Rapid expansion in the area means cooling must be scalable and easily expanded. We need a powerful central system or multiple coordinated units to cover vast areas efficiently, prevent goods spoiling and protect staff in a harsh industrial setting.
Al Murooj lies in far north Jeddah, an extended industrial and storage zone with very large warehouses and ongoing expansion.
Most warehouses here use heavy-duty rooftop units or advanced central cooling because of the vast areas and intense heat load.
The AC setup in Al Murooj
- 1
Powerful central system with heavy-duty rooftop units
The vast warehouses here need high-performance rooftop units or an advanced central system to cover immense areas and intense heat loads.
- 2
Distributed ductwork with multiple control points
Distributed ducts with control points at strategic locations ensure even distribution and the ability to adjust cooling by sector.
- 3
High-grade filters designed for easy replacement
Industrial dust clogs filters fast, so we choose robust filters positioned for regular cleaning and quick replacement without long shutdowns.
Before the visit
Before our visit in Al Murooj

Complete warehouse layout and any partitions
Send us the warehouse layout showing length, width, height and any walls or separate zones that might need different cooling.
- 2
Inspect roofs and existing runs
Ensure metal roofs are sound and leak-free, and tell us of any electrical runs or pipes that might interfere with installation.
- 3
Define electrical and water connection limits
Locate the main electrical panel and any wells or water sources that affect drainage points, as the cooling system may need regular water discharge.

FAQ
Questions about Warehouse HVAC
Is evaporative cooling right for a warehouse in Jeddah?
It depends on indoor humidity levels and the type of stock stored. In well-ventilated open areas where stock is not sensitive to a small rise in humidity, evaporative cooling can work well. The site survey gives a clear answer before any decision is made.
How do you handle the height in tall warehouse bays?
In a tall bay, cool air settles low and hot air rises, which works in your favour when diffusers are aimed correctly at the working level and the racking. We set diffuser angles and positions during design based on the racking height and the movement aisles.
Can cold storage zones link to the rest of the warehouse system?
Cold rooms and freezer rooms run on their own refrigeration systems, which we install as a separate service. What we handle here is the ambient air around those room doors, so warm warehouse air does not rush in when they open, managed by pressure zoning between the two spaces.
Do warehouse air ducts need insulation?
Yes, especially ducts that run close to the hot metal roof. Without insulation, cool air gains heat before it reaches the diffusers and loses much of its effect. We insulate with Armaflex or Kimmco materials and seal joints with Foster sealants to stop air leaks.
Does airflow distribution differ between tall racking aisles and open floor areas?
Yes. In tall racking aisles the airflow path narrows and slows, so we choose directional diffusers that push air along the aisle length rather than spreading it sideways. In open floor areas we use wider-angle diffusers. The angle and position of each diffuser are set at design stage based on the aisle width and racking height.
Our new warehouse will expand later, can the system handle addition?
Yes, we choose a scalable cooling system from the start to make it easy to add units or extra ductwork when you expand later.
Al Murooj's heat is intense, how do you ensure cool air reaches everywhere evenly?
We install distributed temperature sensors and smart controls that adjust airflow dynamically to ensure no hot zones form, even in the furthest corners of a vast warehouse.
The site is industrial and dusty, does dust reduce system efficiency?
Yes, dust and grime clog filters quickly. We select high-grade filters and recommend regular maintenance to clean or replace them as needed.
What electrical capacity do we need to run the system in a warehouse this large?
This depends on unit type, quantity and total capacity. A site visit determines the capacity needed and whether your main panel can supply it or needs upgrading.
