Default Keeping cool
The shop i work at is regularly 100+ degrees. We're running 2 m&r mini sprint dryers. We've got two huge bay doors and fans all over the place, and still can't stop the sweat. Anyone have any tips on keeping cool?

Swamp coolers
  1. Cross ventilation using an opening at one end, exhaust fan at the other. Close the garage doors.
  2. Insulate the ovens, but be careful to cool the control panel. This will allow you to reduce your oven settings.
  3. Print at night.
What's the temperature outside?

We had the same problem...

We had sky lights, and covered those up, and temp went down about 8-10 degrees.

We also planted some large trees and did a cool sun shade on the west side of the building where the garage doors are...

But the best thing, was installing the fans with misters.

Rapid Cool Misting Systems

These are a life saver!
