Plan temporary cooling around the space and the project
Temporary cooling is not a single-unit decision. The intended use, occupied area, heat conditions, ventilation, air distribution, humidity and available power interfaces all shape the project discussion.
Service-specific applications and project considerations
Temporary project cooling
Cooling support can be planned for temporary buildings, work areas, commercial spaces and project environments according to the intended use and site conditions.
Industrial and warehouse environments
Large or operational spaces require attention to heat conditions, airflow paths, operating schedules and the way conditioned air will reach the required zones.
Fresh-air and ventilation support
Cooling and ventilation arrangements may incorporate fresh-air requirements where the verified application and site plan call for them.
Ducted air distribution
Packaged or central cooling arrangements may be coordinated with suitable ducted distribution, including fabric air duct solutions where applicable.
Events and temporary structures
Temporary venues and covered spaces need cooling planned with occupancy, opening periods, structure layout, power and air distribution in view.
Humidity and supporting systems
Industrial dehumidification, temporary power, distribution boards and maintenance support may be considered when they form part of the same verified requirement.
More equipment and services
Include related equipment and supporting systems in the same project enquiry where useful.
Related equipment and project solutions

* Refrigerant configurations in the approved fleet data include R22 and R407C. The actual refrigerant depends on the specific unit. Available voltage configurations vary by unit.
** Approximate planning value based on 400 CFM/TR for PCU entries only. Actual airflow depends on the specific unit and operating configuration. FPCU airflow is not calculated using this rule; it is design-dependent.

Information for Temporary HVAC Selection
Share the project location, space and application, fresh-air requirements, site conditions, operating schedule, available power, air-distribution requirements and expected duration so the appropriate configuration can be reviewed. You can also review air-cooled chiller rental and fabric air duct solutions.
HVAC & Cooling Rental questions
What information is needed to assess temporary cooling?
Share the space type and occupied area, intended use, operating schedule, known heat or humidity conditions, ventilation needs, available power information and site access.
How are package units, AHUs and portable cooling options compared?
Selection starts with the application and site interfaces. Package units, AHUs and portable evaporative-cooling categories serve different arrangements; verified project data is required before confirming equipment.
Are published airflow values manufacturer ratings?
Not always. PCU airflow shown by ETR is an engineering estimate based on approximately 400 CFM per TR and is labelled as approximate. Unit-specific nameplate data takes precedence when available.
Can cooling, air distribution and temporary power be planned together?
Yes, where the project requires connected cooling, fabric air distribution, generators, cables or distribution boards. Each component must still be defined in the project scope.
How is an HVAC rental quotation prepared?
A quotation is prepared from the equipment type and capacity, quantity, rental period, project location, transport, installation requirements, required accessories and technical-support scope.
Request a project-specific cooling discussion
Share the project location, intended application, quantities, required dates, expected rental duration and verified site or technical requirements.
