The Challenge in Textile Environments
Textile production is highly sensitive to fluctuations in heat and humidity. Excessive dryness can lead to static build-up and fibre breakage. High humidity or poor ventilation can encourage lint accumulation, uneven fabric quality, and uncomfortable conditions for your workforce.
UK regulations set no maximum workplace temperature, but employers must keep conditions reasonable and supply adequate fresh air. HSE guidance highlights the importance of monitoring thermal comfort to maintain productivity. In fact, research shows output can drop by around 9% when temperatures reach 30°C.
For textile processes, uncontrolled climate conditions mean more than just discomfort. They can lead to:
- Inconsistent yarn strength and elasticity
- Increased defect rates and quality complaints
- More downtime for cleaning and adjustments
- Higher energy costs from inefficient equipment
Inergy addresses these challenges with complete air conditioning solutions, from ventilation system upgrades to integrated cooling and humidity control, all tailored to your factory layout and production demands.
Conditions that Protect Yarn and Fabric
Textile processes demand precise control of temperature and relative humidity. Too dry, and fibres lose elasticity, leading to breakage and increased waste. Too damp, and the risk of mould, lint accumulation, and dimensional changes in the fabric increases.
For spinning, weaving, and finishing, a relative humidity of around 60–70 percent is often recommended to keep fibres supple and static-free. This helps preserve tensile strength and ensures consistent yarn weight, improving overall product quality. Even small fluctuations can cause noticeable defects, so keeping conditions stable is essential.
Humidity control also plays a role in reducing airborne dust and lint, protecting both machinery and workers. By maintaining optimal moisture levels, we can help prevent fibre shrinkage, stabilise production speeds, and support a cleaner, safer working environment.
We design air conditioning and humidity control systems for manufacturing facilities of all sizes, using technology that integrates temperature regulation, humidification, and filtration. Our approach ensures the air in your factory works with your production needs, not against them.
Our Solutions for Textile Factories
Inergy delivers complete air conditioning solutions designed around the unique demands of textile production. Each system is tailored to balance temperature, humidity, and air movement, creating a stable environment that supports both product quality and energy efficiency.
Our key solutions include:
Delivers consistent climate control for production areas and quality control labs. Ideal for maintaining set points during seasonal changes.
A low-energy method for cooling large open areas such as weaving sheds. In the right conditions, it can lower temperatures by several degrees while using a fraction of the power of traditional systems.
Designed to control airborne lint, dust, and fibres, while supplying clean, fresh air to the workspace. This improves indoor air quality and supports worker comfort.
Humidity Control
Integrated humidifiers maintain the optimal RH range for your processes, reducing defects and protecting fibre quality.
Controls and Zoning
Intelligent sensors and zoning ensure climate conditions remain stable throughout your facility, with real-time monitoring for proactive adjustments.
Planned Maintenance
Regular servicing keeps systems efficient, reliable, and compliant, preventing costly breakdowns.
Whether you need a new installation, an upgrade to existing equipment, or a combination of technologies, we design every solution to work in harmony with your production processes.

What You Can Expect from Our Design
Every textile factory operates differently, which is why our design process begins with a detailed understanding of your production environment. We assess not just the size of the space, but also the processes, machinery, and seasonal variations that affect temperature and humidity.
Our approach includes:
- Comprehensive site survey: We measure heat loads, moisture loads, and air change requirements to build a clear picture of your needs.
- Tailored system selection: We recommend equipment that balances process demands with energy performance, whether it’s precision air conditioning, evaporative cooling, or a hybrid system.
- Airflow modelling: We plan how air will move through your factory to avoid dead zones, hotspots, or uneven humidity.
- Energy efficiency options: From high-efficiency fans to heat recovery systems, we look for ways to reduce running costs without compromising control.
- Future-ready controls: We specify monitoring and automation tools that allow you to adjust and track conditions in real time.
Our goal is simple: to deliver an air conditioning solution that works with your textile processes, adapts to seasonal changes, and operates efficiently all year round.

Typical System Options
We design and install a range of air conditioning solutions to match different areas and processes within a textile factory. Each option is chosen to deliver the right balance of temperature, humidity, and airflow.
Ideal for targeted cooling and humidity control in smaller production rooms, testing areas, or offices. They provide precise temperature regulation where it matters most.
Well-suited for large weaving sheds and spinning rooms, these systems can reduce temperatures by several degrees using minimal energy. In the right conditions, evaporative cooling can deliver 5–12°C of cooling effect while maintaining comfortable humidity levels.
Designed to manage airborne lint, dust, and fibres while supplying clean, fresh air. Effective ventilation improves air quality, protects machinery, and supports workforce comfort.
In-line humidifiers maintain stable RH levels for spinning, weaving, and finishing, helping to reduce static, prevent fibre shrinkage, and protect yarn strength.
Each system is configured for your building layout, machinery footprint, and production needs, ensuring air distribution supports consistent quality throughout the factory.

FAQs
What temperature and humidity should a textile factory target?
For many spinning and weaving processes, relative humidity around 60–70 percent helps reduce static, prevent fibre breakage, and keep yarn at a consistent weight. Temperatures should be set to balance process needs with workforce comfort.
Will evaporative cooling work in the UK?
Yes: in the right building types and climates, it can be highly effective. Many UK textile factories benefit from evaporative cooling, particularly in large, open production halls where traditional air conditioning can be costly to run. Suitability depends on your site layout and processes.
How can I manage lint and dust in the air?
Combining effective ventilation with high-quality filtration helps capture airborne fibres and reduce the risk of contamination or machine wear. Our ventilation systems are designed to address this.
What about compliance?
UK regulations don’t set a maximum workplace temperature, but employers must provide reasonable conditions and fresh air. Regular monitoring and planned maintenance help you meet these obligations.
How often should air conditioning systems be serviced?
This depends on your operating hours, production processes, and environment. Many textile factories benefit from seasonal checks and at least two full services per year.
