Pharmaceutical Warehouse cooling
14 January 2015
The majority of pharmaceutical products fall into a category which states ‘do not store above 25°C’.
Pharmaceutical Wholesalers are licensed by the MHRA – the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
The MHRA audit and license warehouses who must demonstrate compliance. Temperature compliance is set by two criteria:
- Mean Kinetic Temperature over a 7 day period must not exceed 25°C (Mean Kinetic temperature is a logarithmic calculation which provides a weighted average using the Arrhenius equation)
- Absolute maximum temperature shall never exceed 30°C
Most pharmaceutical warehouses use ventilation to keep products cool as refrigeration is prohibitively expensive but ventilation cannot maintain compliance with MHRA criteria during prolonged periods of high temperature
Evaporative cooling can, if correctly specified, ensure full compliance at a fraction of the cost of air conditioning.
