Keep Cool in this Summer Heatwave with an Industrial Evaporative Cooler
With temperatures soaring across the UK this week, businesses are struggling to keep staff safe and workplaces comfortable. Warehouses, factories, and large commercial spaces quickly become unbearable when the heat rises, creating tough working conditions and reducing productivity. Summer events also become uncomfortable in this heat with visitors’ welfare to consider as well as their enjoyment.
If your air conditioning can’t keep up—or if you don’t have any installed—the REX48 Industrial Evaporative Cooler, available to hire from CAS Hire, could be the fast, energy-efficient solution you need to cool down.
Why Evaporative Cooling is Perfect for Heatwaves
Unlike traditional air conditioning, which recirculates indoor air and requires sealed environments, evaporative coolers work best in open or semi-open spaces. They pull in fresh outside air, pass it through water-soaked cooling pads, and blow out a refreshing breeze. This is ideal in hot, dry conditions—just like the ones we’re seeing during this heatwave. The feedback that we receive about these types of devices for cooling has been amazing.
The REX48, in particular, can cool areas up to 500m², making it a great option for:
- Warehouses
- Workshops
- Sports halls
- Outdoor event spaces
- Rail platforms
- Temporary workspaces like pop-up kitchens or hospitality tents.
- Festivals and pop up theatres (think of somewhere like the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe )
Key Features of the REX48 Evaporative Cooler
✅ Cools areas up to 500m²
✅ Huge 48,000m³/hr airflow capacity
✅ Low energy consumption compared to traditional AC

Cool Smarter, Not Harder
With the heatwave expected to continue and the next wave around the corner, investing in short-term cooling hire makes sense. Rather than spending tens of thousands on a permanent AC system, hiring the REX48 gives you instant relief when you need it most—and lets you return it when temperatures drop. Not only that, the Rex48 is very environmentally friendly as it uses water as the coolant, which is less harmful to the environment. And it is cheap to run compared to air conditioning units.
