Moffitt DeltaStream in a Texas Factory
The Moffitt DeltaStream helped one factory in north Texas decrease building temperatures more than 20°F during the summer. The employees were incredibly grateful, and management even more so. How do we know? Because it is our own factory, Moffitt West. Read on to learn more.
Ventilation Manufacturing at Moffitt West
Moffitt West is a prefabricated metal building located in Denison, Texas. It has recently been expanded to 52,558 FT², with sections for welding, assembly, shipping, and more. Like any other industrial facility, it gets hot in the summer. Or at least it would if it wasn’t for the Moffitt ventilation system.
The ventilation system at Moffitt West includes two MatrixVent natural ventilators on the roof and wall louvers on the back wall. Finally, ten DeltaStream natural cooling units line the roof of the building. Each evaporative cooling unit brings fresh, sub-ambient air into the work floor. This equipment makes up a complete ventilation solution for the facility. The results speak for themselves.
The power of the DeltaStream evaporative cooling units
The new DeltaStream units were activated in early June. Once they were turned on, the factory quickly started to see amazing results. Justin Gatenby, plant manager at Moffitt west said, “the new DeltaStream units provide an exponential improvement over the old system”. Best of all, the interactive temperature controls let us see the full impact of the solution.
The DeltaStream system reduced the temperature of the plant to 82.1°F. This is in contrast to the outdoor ambient temperature of 103.4°F. In an untreated building, the indoor temperature would likely be higher than the temperature outside. The DeltaStream cooled building, however, realizes a temperature drop of 21° F! That results in a huge impact on employee happiness and productivity.
Humidity was decreased as well.

When people think of evaporative cooling they often think of heavy manufacturing and high-heat generation. However, the results at Moffitt west show that a light manufacturing application, with little heat generation, in a moderate climate zone, can also see huge benefits from a DeltaStream system. In fact, we’ve seen the DeltaStream help a variety of plants throughout the U.S. over the last few years. Some notable DeltaStream projects include.
