Bringing Cool Relief in the Scorching Summer — A Record of Improvements to the Casting Workshop’s Air-Conditioning System
Release Date:
18-08-27
It was August, the height of summer, with scorching sun and outdoor temperatures reaching 38°C. At this time, the casting workshop felt more like a giant sauna—just walking around inside would make your clothes soaked with sweat. Yet in such a season when everyone longs to escape to an air-conditioned room, the workshop workers steadfastly held their ground, working feverishly. Sweat mingled with dust as it streamed down, leaving streaks on their skin. The casting workshop is characterized by its large space, bulky equipment, and abundant dust. Moreover, since the products need to be poured at temperatures above 1,400°C and the sand remains at around 400°C after shaking out, the overall temperature in the workshop tends to be quite high. For a long time, the only way to cool the workshop in summer has been fans; however, the hot air they blow doesn’t provide much relief, and the rapid airflow stirs up dust near the equipment, blowing it onto sweat-soaked bodies and turning those directly in front of the fans into “black people.” Despite this, the workers’ enthusiasm for their jobs has never waned. Now, this situation is about to improve. Following a proposal from the workshop, the company conducted a survey and decided to install an air-supply system in the workshop. This system uses an outdoor unit to cool the air with water and then delivers it through ducts to each workstation, achieving a significant cooling effect—essentially a large-scale water-cooled air conditioner. It will also effectively reduce the side effect of fans stirring up dust, truly bringing coolness to the workers. This aligns with ASIMCO Camshaft’s people-oriented philosophy of continuously improving the working environment for the occupational health of our employees.
It was August, the height of summer, with the sun blazing like a furnace and outdoor temperatures soaring to 38°C. The foundry workshop at that moment felt more like a giant sauna—just walking around it once was enough to drench your clothes in sweat. Yet even in such a season when everyone longs to escape to an air-conditioned room, the workers in the workshop steadfastly held their ground, laboring feverishly. Sweat mingled with dust as it streamed down their bodies, leaving streaks of mark on their skin.
The casting workshop is characterized by its large space, bulky equipment, and heavy dust generation. Moreover, since the molten metal is poured at temperatures exceeding 1,400°C and the sand remains at around 400°C after shakeout, the overall workshop temperature tends to be quite high. For years, the only means of cooling during the summer has been fans; however, the hot air they circulate provides little relief, and the rapid airflow stirs up dust near the equipment, which then blows directly onto sweat-soaked bodies—turning those in front of the fans into “blackened” figures—yet this does not dampen workers’ enthusiasm. Fortunately, this situation is now set to improve.
Based on the workshop’s proposal, the company conducted a survey and decided to install an air-supply system in the workshop. This system uses an outdoor unit to deliver water-cooled air through ducts to each workstation, achieving a good cooling effect—essentially a large-scale water-cooled air conditioner. Moreover, it effectively reduces the side effect of fans that stir up dust, truly bringing coolness to the workers. This is also in line with ASIMCO Camshaft Company’s people-oriented philosophy of continuously improving the working environment for the occupational health of our employees.
