Jet delivers sustainable frost protection solution

Jet Environmental has successfully installed an innovative and sustainable frost protection solution at Prologis Park Hams Hall DC2, a new manufacturing and distribution hub centrally positioned in the West Midlands to serve the UK and international markets.

Prologis required durable and environmentally friendly frost protection to safeguard the internal fire sprinkler system of its newly constructed warehouse. Collaborating closely with fit-out contractor TanRo, Jet implemented an advanced all-electric air-to-water heat pump system, delivering reliable performance even in extreme winter conditions.

After a comprehensive site assessment, Jet Environmental’s engineers designed a solution featuring an external air-to-water heat pump and an indoor air-handling unit connected to a thermal buffer tank. This setup keeps a steady internal temperature of 5°C, even when external temperatures fall to -5°C, effectively safeguarding critical systems and assets.

The large warehouse facility, spanning 22,892 m² with a volume of 366,272 m³, required a sophisticated system capable of delivering 300kW of heating capacity and an air supply of 10 m³/s. Jet Environmental successfully completed the installation within just three months, satisfying the high standards set by Prologis and TanRo.

“Jet Environmental Systems delivered an exceptional frost protection solution for our project at Prologis Park Hams Hall DC2,” said Mike Wall, contract manager at TanRo. “Their technical expertise, attention to detail and ability to provide a sustainable, all-electric system have been invaluable. We are extremely pleased with the results.”

Jason Hibbs, managing director at Jet Environmental, added: “We understand that HVAC systems are critical assets, especially where frost protection is vital for operational continuity. Our aim was not just to meet Prologis’s high standards, but to provide an environmentally sustainable solution that performs reliably, even in the most demanding conditions. We’re pleased to have achieved this and look forward to supporting similar initiatives in the future.”
