We installed a 3 foot exhaust fan just a few months ago, works great to keep the air fresh and the place about 10 degrees cooler.

On the presses we have compressor air that can be aimed at the operator to cool them off.  Those 2 things work pretty well to make it very manageable year round.  Higher ceilings are nice too.

I've been in a few shops that use them around here, they all seem to really like them.

Yeah my wife got me a very cool large coffee mug with their log on it! Nice~

I told the guy, give me some ammo of case studies on how they save heating
for my bean counter. They can save quite a bit (up to 30%) on rooms with high ceilings.
Once doing some work on the ceiling in our 20' room, the temp up there was staggering,
while thermostat level was only at 70.

Still out of reach for a lot of us, but way cool, pardon the pun.

I'm still wondering why there aren't more print head saving coolers out there.

We have these out back, one pointed on the loader, one on the unloader and a regular window unit air conditioner on the catcher.  Using these on press would be possible but they're a little lower than the pallets and would need to be raised up a foot or so to point to the top of the pallet.
