Industrial cooling and ventilation in Alexandria
Alexandria is the main seaport of Egypt and its second industrial city, with the Amreya and Merghem zones behind the port, the Dekheila steel and container area to the west, Abu Qir and its fertiliser and chemical complexes to the east, and newer engineering, food and pharmaceutical plants out at Borg El Arab. Petrochemicals, spinning and weaving, food processing, paper, cement and marine services all operate here, and a large share of the floor space is older high bay shed with poor natural extraction. The Mediterranean coast is cooler than Cairo but noticeably humid in summer, so buyers usually pair HVLS fans and wall extractors on the main floors with ducted evaporative coolers only in the drier inland units around Borg El Arab.
Alexandria climate — the honest version
Alexandria is milder at 30–32 °C but coastal humidity of 60 to 75 percent limits evaporative performance, so ventilation and air movement carry most of the load with coolers used selectively.
Alexandria and the adjoining Dekheila terminal take direct sailings from Nhava Sheva and Mundra in 12 to 16 days, so the inland leg to most plants is under an hour.

Who buys here
Industries in Alexandria.
- Petrochemicals and refining
- Spinning, weaving and garments
- Food processing
- Paper and packaging
- Cement and building materials
- Port and marine services
Worth knowing locally
- Salt laden coastal air attacks untreated steel, so casings, guards and mounting hardware for Alexandria are supplied galvanised or powder coated as standard.
- Supply is 380 V three phase 50 Hz and several older Amreya plants have little spare transformer capacity, which is why the 1.5 kW duct cooler is often specified ahead of larger units.
- Because both terminals are inside the city, containers are usually stripped at the buyer site the same week they are released, so offloading gear should be arranged before vessel arrival.

Ask on WhatsAppWhich equipment suits a humid Alexandria summer?
The coast is milder than Cairo but damp, so main production floors are best handled with HVLS fans and Hammer wall extractors that move and replace air rather than trying to cool it. Ducted evaporative coolers still earn their place at the drier Borg El Arab plants and during inland heatwaves.
How are units protected against salt air near Abu Qir?
Casings, guards and fixings for coastal orders are galvanised or powder coated, and motors are specified with an enclosure rating suited to salt exposure and washdown. Pad frames can be supplied in stainless where the buyer asks, which matters most on units mounted on the seaward face of a building.
Can cargo be landed directly at Alexandria port?
Yes. Alexandria and the neighbouring Dekheila terminal both take direct sailings from Nhava Sheva and Mundra with a transit of 12 to 16 days, so no long inland haul is needed. That is why Alexandria buyers often have equipment running sooner than customers in Cairo or Upper Egypt.
