Major US Online Retailer Case Study

Overview

In the competitive e-commerce industry, efficient HVAC operations are crucial for safeguarding inventory and ensuring smooth operations. A prominent online retailer partnered with Melink for a comprehensive TAB service to optimize their HVAC systems. Proper climate control in their vast warehouse is essential for maintaining product quality, worker comfort, and equipment reliability. By addressing temperature, humidity, and air quality through well-balanced HVAC systems, the retailer can prevent issues like mold, mildew, and mechanical failures, ensuring uninterrupted operations and preserving their valuable inventory.

Performance

Melink collaborated with the customer to resolve critical HVAC issues by taking key steps that included replacing incorrectly sized motors in 40 out of 55 RTUs, which improved system airflow and performance. Following this, a comprehensive TAB service was conducted to adjust and balance air and water distribution throughout the facility. To maintain ongoing efficiency, Melink recommended a regular maintenance and monitoring program. As a result, the customer experienced optimized airflow, reduced risks of mold and mildew, and energy savings, leading to lower operating costs and enhanced HVAC system performance.

Conclusion

In this case study, Melink resolved critical HVAC issues for a leading online retailer by identifying improperly sized motors and conducting a thorough TAB service. Once the underperforming RTUs are replaced, the HVAC system will be optimized for better climate control, reducing the risk of organic growth and equipment failure. Melink also recommends rebalancing outside air every five years, per ASHRAE standards.
