Penthouse

The concept with penthouse coolers from Güntner offers many application benefits.

Refrigerated warehouses are being built increasingly larger these days. High-rack warehouses with automatic conveyor systems are now up to 30 and 40 m high. The enormous dimensions and automatic warehousing technology raise new challenges for the choice and installation of air coolers.

With its penthouse coolers Güntner offers an intelligent solution that can be adapted flexibly to suit many different types of warehouse and installation situations. The concept has been used in the USA for many years and is now becoming increasingly popular in Europe too. Güntner penthouse coolers have a power spectrum of 50 to 350 kW.

In the penthouse cooler concept the air cooler is installed on the roof, either in an insulated single housing or in a penthouse suitable for several units. This arrangement allows optimum utilisation of the storage space. The units don´t block pallet positions and are not a hindrance for forklift trucks or automatic conveyor systems.

The penthouse coolers stand on steel frames and draw air in through grates inserted in the roof. The penthouse is installed or the roof element is placed on top only after these have been inserted. Piping and valves are generally installed via the roof. This allows good accessibility for servicing and maintenance without impairing the movement of goods – saving time and money.
