During a quieter moment during the  FIP Silver Côte du Midi , we met  Bertrand Zimkowiak , President of  Distripur , a company recently established in  Silk Sets Padel Narbonne He explains his innovative air cooling technology to us in detail.

 Can you explain to us what these machines installed in this magnificent club in Set are used for? Padel Club? 

We have installed equipment that allows us to  refresh the air at a man's height , so only the area occupied by the players. It is a patented technology developed by a  French start-up created three years ago .

We are deploying this solution for  air conditioning very large volumes , whether sporting or industrial, while  significantly reducing electricity consumption Here, for example, the ceiling height is ten meters, but only the first two meters are cooled: this represents an enormous energy saving.

 For the uninitiated, how is it possible to only air condition at eye level? 

So, I'll try to be simple. The cold air  behaves like water , so we can contain it. In each device, there is a  diffuser part  and total  collector part . We create a  horizontal flow at very slow speed , which diffuses cooled air into the space, and which is recovered on the other side.

We have to imagine that we fill the space with a fluid: it is in reality the cold air that remains at the bottom, about two meters high. This is also why the columns of the machines measure about 2 m – 2,20 m.  Above this limit, the temperature increases very rapidly , which helps avoid energy waste.

 The building here is very large. Is there a limit to the installation of your system? 

No, it is  fully modular We have projects in spaces  of 4000 m² i.e  twice as big as this one . We simply install several modules to meet the needs. This system is suitable for all large spaces that are difficult to air condition, and are often too expensive to equip with conventional systems.

To give you an idea, here  we only installed 60 kW , where conventional air conditioning would have required  about 200 kW .

 Have you already installed this technology in other padel clubs? 

Yes, absolutely. We are  highly sought after by the world of padel . These are generally  large structures , with a lot of height and surfaces. But above all, our system has a  added value: it dries the air very well .

Look at the windows here:  no trace of humidity . All the steam produced by the players and spectators is  absorbed by our system This avoids having to wipe the windows, which is  essential for the readability of the padel game .

We also operate in rooms of  badminton ,  squash  or even in projects of  Futsal , sometimes with even more impressive volumes. We are also making progress in this area  industrial , where many halls seek to refresh only the  operator work area .

 And on the user side, is the feedback good? 

Yes, very good. There was one day this week when the humidity outside was very high, with rain and crowds, so the conditions were extreme. But overall,  the windows remained spotless .
Before our intervention, it was really very hot here.  thermal comfort  brought by our technology is a real plus. And it also changes the  game quality .

 What are your goals for the coming months and years? 

We have two priorities. The first is to  let us know We already have exchanges with  spain ,  Switzerland  et  Germany , who are very interested in our technology.

The second is to  consolidate our production capacity , with a maximum of  French or European partners We feel a real dynamic, reinforced by the awareness linked  to climate change  et  to energy sobriety .

 How can clubs or businesses contact you? 

Today it works a lot  by word of mouth Padel players travel, and when they discover a well-renovated club, they tell other managers about it.
Otherwise, you can find us via our website:  www.distripur.fr . It is simple but functional. We are also present on  LinkedIn ,  Instagram , and other social networks.

We are  easy to contact , and we intervene  everywhere in France We are also developing our business abroad, particularly in  Spain Where  we have just signed a partnership  with a local company to deploy our technology.
