  Enhancing Commercial Building Sustainability: Eco-Friendly HVAC Solutions by Cambridge Air Solutions

  Discover the Most Eco-Friendly HVAC Options for Commercial Buildings with Cambridge Air Solutions This blog was written by the Cambridge Marketing Team and Engineering Team Why Sustainability in HVAC Matters In the contemporary era of environmental consciousness, the emphasis on sustainable building practices has intensified. Commercial buildings, being substantial consumers of energy, present a significant opportunity for implementing eco-friendly solutions, particularly in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Both mechanical contractors and building owners are increasingly seeking HVAC options that not only minimize environmental impact but also enhance energy efficiency and reduce operational costs. We stand at the forefront of this movement, offering a suite of innovative HVAC technologies designed to meet these evolving demands. The Imperative for Eco-Friendly HVAC in Commercial Buildings Commercial buildings account for a significant portion of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Implementing sustainable HVAC systems is crucial for mitigating environmental impact and achieving energy efficiency. Beyond environmental benefits, eco-friendly HVAC solutions offer tangible advantages: Cost Savings: Energy-efficient systems lead to lower utility bills and reduced operational expenses. Enhanced Indoor Air Quality (IAQ): Proper ventilation and heating improve occupant ...

  How Does an Indirect Evaporative Cooling Unit Work? | Cambridge ESC-Series Cooling Animation

  Employee safety, comfort, and productivity are very important in today’s workplace. Industrial environments with exhaust are one of the more difficult cooling applications. Internal and/or external heat gain can result in excessive temperatures in your building. The exhaust fans located in these types of buildings can make cooling with traditional methods very difficult and expensive. A two-stage evaporative cooling unit can provide cheaper industrial cooling, making your work environments safer, more productive, and more comfortable. The evaporative cooling unit uses 100% outside air to provide tempered make-up air and building cooling. The ESC-Series unit is designed for industrial, commercial, and institutional buildings needing better indoor air quality without the equipment or operating costs associated with mechanical cooling. Cool, tempered air enters your industrial building or warehouse from the two-stage unit. The exhaust fans that are opposite of the indirect evaporative cooling units create a push-pull effect that allows the cooler air to move across your workspace. An indirect evaporative cooling module provides the first stage of cooling. A patented polymer heat exchanger separates the ventilation airstream from the vaporizer airstream, resulting in ...

  The Right Solution For Industrial Cooling Lies Somewhere Between DX Cooling And HVLS Fans

  Evaporative cooling can provide significant temperature relief at a fraction of the cost of mechanical cooling. Industrial settings - with much exhaust airflow for contaminants and a substantial footprint - can struggle to achieve clean and temperate indoor air conditions without expensive mechanical cooling systems. However, the sheer size of many of these facilities prices that technology out of the possible solution set. On the other end of the cooling option spectrum, HVLS fans tend to move the hot air around, dependent on contact cooling for temperature relief. The moving air from HVLS fans can help employees feel more comfortable but cannot address internal heat gains within a facility nor provide temperature relief. Somewhere between those two options stands evaporative cooling technology, which provides tempered make-up air while also improving indoor air quality with the usage of 100% outdoor air.    Two-Stage Evaporative Cooling Technology Shines in Industrial Facilities The Cambridge ESC-Series evaporative cooling unit is a semi-custom fabricated air handler that can utilize direct (DEC), indirect (IEC) evaporative cooling, or a combination of both indirect/direct (two-stage) evaporative cooling to meet specific usage ...

  What you need to know about your evaporative cooling system and tips for optimization

  Evaporative cooling has become the system of choice for many business owners in dry climates, utilized to cool their facility while keeping energy consumption and operational costs in check, especially compared to traditional compressor-based cooling. The sheer size of the commercial and industrial facilities that are effectively tempered by evaporative cooling offers insight to the significant savings that can be realized first by the system’s installation and then its continued optimization. How Do Evaporative Coolers Work? To optimize performance, we first have to understand how an evaporative cooling system works. The design is simple, yet complex: provide cool, tempered air by converting warmer, dry air through a series of evaporative processes to draw out the air’s natural heat and inject cooler air into your work space.  Often compared to “swamp coolers” in the southwestern United States, evaporative cooling units utilize more advanced technology that enable them to serve as viable alternatives to conventional cooling beyond just the Southwest and for larger spaces. There are direct and indirect technologies available in evaporative cooling, essentially designated by the moisture level in your climate and whether or ...

  Cambridge S-Series Preventative Maintenance Schedule

  Proper maintenance is essential to keep your Cambridge S-Series heating unit running efficiently and prevent costly repairs. This blog outlines a preventative maintenance schedule for your unit. Depending on whether your unit has filter sections, inspections should be done two or four times a year. In this guide, we'll cover crucial tasks like checking air filters, greasing bearings, inspecting belts, and more. By following these steps, you'll extend the lifespan of your equipment and optimize its performance, reducing energy costs and minimizing downtime. Let's get started on maintaining your Cambridge S-Series unit.  *Full maintenance procedures and instructions may be found in the applicable product tech manual. Suggested inspection Frequency:  2 times per year for units without filter sections  4 times per year for units with filter sections  Check the air filters: Clean these filters if necessary because dirty filters will reduce CFM and could damage the discharge air sensor.  Service the filters as needed based on the “loading” experienced. Clean filters typically start out with a pressure drop across the filters between 0.15 and 0.25” WC. Cleaning or replacement is generally required below the pressure drop increased by ...

  Commercial & Industrial End-Of-Year HVAC Maintenance Tips

  We all know that heating and indoor air quality play a significant factor in providing a happy and healthy work environment, and that yearly maintenance is necessary to keep those systems running efficiently.   Jeff Hodge, a member of the Cambridge service team, has provided some simple tips for mid-year maintenance to your commercial or industrial HVAC unit. End-of-Year Maintenance Tips 1. Filters - Service the filters as needed based on the “loading” experienced. Turn off the heater before servicing filters. Remove the filters from the filter section by opening the filter access door. Handle the filters carefully to prevent debris from being dislodged from the filter into the heater. 2. Check the belt - periodic belt adjustments help ensure the sustainability of the belt. If a belt is too tight, it can prematurely wear out the bearings and the belt. If the belt is too loose, it can slip or squeal.  3. Check the discharge temperature - Use a wired thermistor at the mixing box to calibrate the system if necessary.  4. Inspect the control panels - Look for loose or frayed wire connections and make ...
