    Ambient temperature on production floor

    If normal ambient temperature on production floor is 65-70°F, would there be noticeable effects on production floor equipment if we drop ambient down to 35-40°F? Equipment consists of motors, PLC's, VFD's, process instrumentation ie flow meters, chart recorders, level sensors/transmitters...
