  Navigating Decarbonization: Is Electrification in your Facility’s Future?

  In the evolution of sustainability and decarbonization, electrification is frequently celebrated as a solution to various challenges, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and minimizing reliance on fossil fuels.  The concept of electrification is exciting – especially considering the scale of impact that lowered carbon emissions will have on our planet.  We are excited and proud of the role our highly efficient technologies play for our industrial facilities while still being able to provide healthy working environments and clean air for the people working within those facilities.  While planning and executing strategies for your own facility’s sustainability – it’s very possible that the equipment you choose might counteract your carbon goals as well as incur significant costs.  To that end, our Applications Engineering team has developed a Carbon Reduction Savings Tool embedded into our Energy Use Analysis process – which allows us to consider different products in your space to see how much carbon reduction and cost savings you can expect after installation. It serves as a crucial instrument to help make the most informed decision about your investment.  Below is a case ...

  Heating a Warehouse or Distribution Center

  Cambridge High Temperature Heating & Ventilation (HTHV) Space Heating Systems are designed to meet a building's heat and air load requirements and be energy efficient.  Discharge air from the S-Series HTHV Heater creates a large volume of fresh, warm air flowing throughout the building which eliminates higher ceiling temperatures and uncomfortable drafts. The S-Series Heater utilizes 100% fresh air to dilute contaminants generated within the building. This virtually eliminates air quality problems associated with infrared heaters or conventional air heating systems that recirculate indoor air. The video below highlights the technology behind our S-Series heater or you can click here for more product information.

  The Path to Net Zero Utilizing HTHV Technology

  *This article was originally published as an advertorial in ASHRAE Journal, July 2022 More and more, leaders want to provide comfortable workspaces for their employees with HVAC that’s both reliable and sustainable. Persistent challenges such as uneven temperatures and inadequate ventilation can be addressed head on with the right equipment and technology. These systems also play a vital role in the reduction of natural gas consumption resulting in lower carbon emissions.  While electrified systems that produce zero carbon are a long-term goal for some, the reality is that leaders will need to make decisions for their facilities long before that goal will be achievable. Finding partners and technology that require less carbon, especially for large, high-bay facilities is instrumental to helping these leaders along that path. Cambridge Air Solutions’ proprietary HTHV technology in our S-Series heaters enables industrial space heaters to be more energy efficient than all other types of indirect and direct gas-fired systems. Since they only require a very low energy use per square foot, facilities can realize a 20-70% reduction in energy usage, according to a DOE study. This energy ...

• Duct Smoke Detector Requirements For Make-Up Air & Heating Units.

  Many building owners working through retrofit or new construction projects are familiar with International Mechanical Code (IMC) standards, which state that an HVAC smoke detector be installed on any air handling system with a capacity greater than 2,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Following installation of a new air handling system, most building owners will need to have their new heating or ventilation equipment inspected by municipal code authorities, who adhere to requirements put into place by the IMC. A common item flagged on installations of industrial HVAC equipment—including Cambridge Air Systems products—is that a smoke detector was not installed on the system. This is a common request made by engineers and building inspectors that we see at Cambridge Air Solutions – and is a misinterpretation of how our 100-percent outside air make-up air systems and industrial heating products work. Have you ever received a request to include an HVAC smoke detector with your Cambridge heater? You are not alone. Within this article, the experts at Cambridge seek to alleviate any confusion over whether a smoke detector should be installed ...

  How Two Military Bases are Keeping Fully Operational by Investing in their Facility’s Heating and Ventilation Systems

  Camp Casey and Camp K16 are two U.S. military bases in South Korea that are committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment for the brave men and women who serve our country. But during the deeply cold winters, maintaining a healthy working environment for the troops can be a real challenge.   Recently, an HVAC manufacturing representative local to the base brought Cambridge Air Solutions technical experts to Camp Casey and   Camp K16 to provide training on the S-Series HTHV heating system and M- Series ventilation systems. The S-Series - is designed to maintain set point temperatures with minimal maintenance, tempers 100% outside air for clean, even heating through the large spaces.  The M-Series – designed for its flexibility in bringing make-up air to industrial applications – was ideal for the demanding environment of these military bases. The team provided on-site training at each location, ensuring that they have the knowledge and skills needed to operate the heating systems to ensure the best indoor air quality and thermal comfort for the troops. The leaders at Camp Casey and Camp K16 understand the impact the working conditions can have on the people within the various military facilities and since implementing these cutting-edge heating solutions, they can now maintain even indoor air ...

  Retrofit Case Study: Cambridge HTHV Heaters vs Direct Fired Recirculation

  In Fairmont, WV, a manufacturer with a 160,000 ft2 building faced a challenge. They were using direct-fired-recirculation units to heat their facility, but this resulted in uneven temperatures, high operating costs, cold dock areas, and maintenance headaches. They knew they needed a solution that would not only reduce their energy consumption and carbon emissions but also save on annual operational costs. That's when they decided to turn to the Cambridge S-Series. Choosing the Cambridge S-Series proved to be a game-changer for the manufacturer. The Cambridge system provided more even temperatures, warmer dock areas, lower operating costs, and lowers maintenance costs. Their total operating cost with the Cambridge system was only $0.65/ft2, which is significantly lower than the previous operating cost of $1.12/ft2. What's more, the Cambridge system used less total energy, resulting in a remarkable 42% reduction in carbon emissions, or 410 fewer metric tons of CO2 per year. Thanks to their choice of going with the Cambridge S-Series, the manufacturer can now enjoy annual savings of up to $1.54 million over 20 years. Cambridge units are built to last, with low maintenance ...
