A fundamental characteristic that they must have is their resistance. The shelter type cabins are made to measure, according to the needs indicated by our customers. It is important that they adapt to the climatic conditions of the area where they will be located. But they must also be able to withstand transportation and be able to house the equipment that needs to be installed in them.

In stainless or galvanized steel, higher resistance

Other variables that must be taken into account are that they have the capacity to dissipate the heat of the equipment, that they comply with the technical requirements and that they have safety and control systems, in addition to allowing energy supply.

As we can see, there are many conditions and variables to take into account for their design and manufacture. Adapting to the required standards and customer needs is very important. Shelter cabins range in size from 2000x1500x2500 (WxDxH) mm to 14000x2800x2700 (WxDxH) mm.

In terms of materials, we focus on strength. That is why we use galvanized steel or stainless steel. The cabins are insulated with rock wool and internally lined with stainless steel, galvanized steel and then painted or plasticized chipboard. Galvanized steel is characterized by a zinc coating that makes it more resistant to rust, since it protects it from the action of water and humidity.

In addition, zinc is a metal that is highly resistant to scratches and provides a satin appearance that makes steel more aesthetically pleasing. Depending on different factors, a piece of industrial galvanized steel with a zinc layer thickness of only one millimeter can last up to 70 years without maintenance. In addition, it is an inexpensive material that can be recycled several times.

Rock wool is a material made of volcanic rock. It is one of the most widely used as thermal insulation and fire protection in buildings. It is a material that was discovered at the beginning of the 20th century and, shortly thereafter, it was manufactured artificially.

Individually designed cabins

In order to meet the demands of our customers, the cabins are individually designed according to the characteristics and plans they request. Subsequently, they are manufactured by studying their use, their final location and the required durability. The cabinets can withstand extreme environments in terms of temperature, humidity, tightness, cooling or vandalism, since the instruments they contain are generally of great value.

Numerous companies such as Repsol, BP, Cepsa, Exxon Mobile, Lukoil, Tecnicas Reunidas, PEMEX, have valued satisfactorily the quality and finish of our cabins for more than 30 years, making us a benchmark in the sector.

Shelter cabins allow for easy and effective installation and handling of electrical power systems, which will be protected in a pressurized and thermally controlled enclosure rather than exposed to the elements.

There are more than 600 fixed measuring stations throughout the country, in addition to several analyzers. The Ministry for Ecological Transition (MITECO), through the State Meteorological Agency, the EMEP/VAG/CAMP network, is also responsible for collecting data to obtain information on transboundary pollution and to comply with Spain’s obligations under the Geneva Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution.

Located in representative spaces

The emission measurement booths are responsible for measuring the concentrations of tropospheric ozone and other atmospheric pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (BTX) and heavy metal particles that may remain suspended in the air. The purpose of these facilities, in addition to adequate control, is to be able to warn the population so that they can take protective measures.

Emission measurement booths can be fixed or mobile. The latter are usually used for temporary campaigns or research work. They can also serve as auxiliary cabins when there is a failure in one of the fixed cabins.

One of the first issues to be taken into account is the geographic space in which they are to be placed. It should respond to an environment that is representative of the area. In addition, they have to be equipped in such a way that their design requires certain aspects to be taken into account.

Characteristics of emission measurement cabinets

The internal temperature of the station should be maintained between 18 and 20 degrees. This implies the need for an air conditioning system. If toxic gases are handled, the cabins must also be equipped with fans or extractors. Analyzers, calibrator, communication equipment etc. should be placed on shelves or cabinets.

Sampling equipment should be fixed to the wall with metal fittings. The cab must also have space for a shelf or desk for the operator to work at. If explosive gases are to be handled, the corresponding safety measures must be taken. In any case, you must always have a fire extinguisher.

Measuring booths can be made of different materials. We focus on their manufacture in galvanized steel or stainless steel for their high resistance. Galvanized steel is steel that undergoes a hot-dip process with molten zinc. This generates a zinc layer on the surface that prevents oxidation. In addition, they are insulated with rock wool and internally lined with stainless steel, galvanized steel and then painted or plasticized chipboard. In terms of space, we manufacture shelter cabins from 2000x1500x2500 (WxDxH) mm to 14000x2800x2700 (WxDxH) mm. Always adapted to the type of equipment they must contain.

For more than 30 years, numerous institutions and private companies have chosen to rely on us for the use of shelter cabins.

Emission measurement cabinets must be made of materials that guarantee their resistance and insulation, to ensure that the equipment they protect is kept in perfect condition. In both the manufacturing and installation processes, special consideration must be given to the following points electrical installation finishesThe safety of the doors and the stability of the floor, in addition to assessing all the elements that guarantee the safety of the technicians who have to access them.

Key features

In this sense, the shelter cabins must have enough space for technicians to carry out maintenance and inspection activities of the different equipment. Obviously, the final size of the measuring cabinets will be related to the equipment and accessories that they must house. Their dimensions usually range from 7 to 15 m2, to support the size and weight of the equipment. In addition, it is recommended that there be a margin of about 80 cm with the rear wall to allow for easy connection and checking of the different devices.

The electrical installation should be done in two or three phases and have a physical grounding. Of course, it must be provided with thermo-magnetic power cut-off devices, as well as signals according to the voltage and current of the installed load. The boards must be marked in accordance with current regulations. And, where appropriate, the measuring cabins must also be equipped with lightning arresters. The lighting must be explosion-proof and must allow the operator a proper view of all equipment.

The door must ensure that it closes securely and as tightly as possible, preventing the passage of dust and small animals. And, likewise, to have the necessary security measures in place to prevent access by outsiders and theft.

The cabins must have a ladder that allows access to the equipment located on the roof. In addition, it must have a perimeter handrail that delimits the safety space. Mobile stations must have levelers that allow horizontal adjustment and guarantee the stability of the different equipment.

What are the shelter cabins like?

Shelter is an English word that could be translated into Spanish as “refugio”. Shelter would be a structure that has the function of protecting from the weather. The term is also used in the sense of container, since it is responsible for housing and protecting the equipment that is collected inside it.

The usefulness of shelter cabins extends to virtually all areas of production. Depending on the use to which they are going to be put, the cabins will have a series of needs that we adapt at the time of manufacturing. In terms of sizes we move in dimensions ranging from 2000x1500x2500 (WxDxH) mm to 14000x2800x2700 (WxDxH) mm.

An example of how are the cabins that we manufacture in Delinte can be found in air quality measurement cabins, which are distributed throughout the Spanish geography and also in many points outside our country. This type of cabinets must house all the equipment to measure both chemical pollutants and meteorological parameters. Air pollution has become one of the main concerns in our cities, which is why it is important to have adequate control systems in place. In this sense, our cabins house the equipment that automatically collects the basic information for atmospheric monitoring.

Materials to create the shelter cabins

In order to fulfill their function, shelter cabins must be sufficiently resistant and robust to be able to withstand both weather conditions and possible acts of vandalism. In this sense, at Delinte we work with the best high quality materials from European Union countries. We also use thermal insulators from leading manufacturers that guarantee the required specifications. We have our own manufacturing and assembly method that favors a robust construction.

Depending on the case, we use galvanized steel or stainless steel for their construction. Galvanized steel is steel that undergoes a hot-dip process with molten zinc. This generates a zinc layer on the surface that prevents oxidation. Stainless steel, on the other hand, has a manufacturing process by which, through a series of transformations, the raw materials are melted until the desired thickness and diameter of the parts are obtained. It is a corrosion-resistant material by a unique process that, in a simplified form, causes chromium oxide molecules to immediately restore any scratches to the metal.

Our cabins are insulated with rock wool. It is a mineral-type insulation that uses two raw materials: basaltic rocks, which are of volcanic origin, and coke ore, which comes from coal. The main advantage of this material is its fireproof character. In addition, it is an excellent acoustic and thermal insulator.

The shelter cabins have a painted finish and are always adapted to the environmental and seismic conditions of the areas where they are to be installed. Of course, its construction and dimensions are adjusted to the needs expressed by the customer, depending on the equipment that needs to be housed inside. In addition, this type of cabins can be easily moved.
