  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 ...

  Renewable Energy and Its place in Manufacturing

  As a manufacturer of products that use natural gas, we support the growth of RNG and its use to reduce GHG emissions. Cambridge Air Solutions is a partner in the vision of improving air quality and the environment – inside and out. We recognize renewable energy is an increasingly important part of a clean energy future for all. When people think of renewable energy, they think of solar, wind, and hydropower. It should be noted that Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is also a clean source of energy. RNG is reliable and always available – unlike solar and wind which is dependent on the weather and time of day. Click here to learn more about what renewable energy is and how Cambridge technology, especially our direct-fired HTHV heating units (S-Series) align with this planet-saving initiative.

  Navigating the Path to Sustainable Heating: Exploring Electric vs Gas Heat in Warehouses

  In our white paper, “Electric vs Gas Heat”, we delve into the practical implications of using electric heat in place of highly efficient natural gas-fired heating equipment, with a specific focus on warehouses. As everyone embarks on a journey towards reducing their carbon footprint and embracing electrification, it is crucial to consider the practicality and limitations of electrical infrastructure capacity when implementing these changes. We begin by highlighting the advantages of natural gas heating equipment, which offers high efficiency (92%) and is particularly suitable for spaces with high heat demands, such as warehouses. The high heat content per CFM of outside air delivered by natural gas heaters results in fewer units required to meet the building's heat load, ensuring efficient and cost-effective heating. We acknowledge that some localities and states have imposed or are considering legislation and building code changes that restrict or prohibit natural gas usage. While these efforts are noble, it is important to remember that the transition to electric heat brings along practical implications and challenges associated with electrical infrastructure capacity constraints. Replacing natural gas with electric heat ...

  The Diverse Landscape of Hydrogen: Not All Hydrogen is Created Equal

  If you’re submersing yourself in all things decarbonization, then you’ve probably heard a lot about hydrogen lately. It’s potential, governance, how it works, etc. And while hydrogen is a promising candidate, one we’ve been proactively testing our products on, it’s important to recognize that not all hydrogen is created equal. A recent initiative by the U.S. Department of Energy is shedding light on the significance of clean hydrogen hubs at the regional level. [1]  With a substantial $7 billion funding allocation, the Department of Energy aims to establish these hubs across the nation. The goal is to accelerate the development and deployment of clean hydrogen production technologies tailored to each region's unique resources and capabilities. This initiative acknowledges the diverse landscape of hydrogen production, emphasizing the importance of context-specific solutions.  Hydrogen production methods vary widely, ranging from conventional methods reliant on fossil fuels to innovative processes powered by renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. The choice of production method has significant implications for the environmental footprint and sustainability of hydrogen as an energy carrier.  By promoting the development of clean ...

  Building a Resilient Future: Texas Infrastructure and Cutting-Edge HVAC Solutions

  In the wake of recent scrutiny over the resilience of Texas' power grid, as highlighted in Peter Zeihan's recent article, "Texas Energy Grid Updates," the importance of robust infrastructure solutions cannot be overstated. At Cambridge Air Solutions, we pride ourselves on providing innovative HVAC systems that play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and resilience of critical infrastructure, even in the face of extreme weather events. Governor Abbott's efforts to winterize Texas' natural gas system following the 2021 crisis serves as a reminder of the necessity for modern solutions to address today's challenges based on natural gas. While some technologies may be over 50 years old, as mentioned in Zeihan's piece, it's imperative to recognize the role of innovation in fortifying infrastructure against the unpredictable forces of nature. We are commited to delivering cutting-edge HVAC technologies and understand the evolving needs of industries for reliable, resilient, and sustainable energy solutions to heat and cool facilities. Whether it's power plants, data centers, or industrial facilities, our systems are designed to withstand adverse conditions while maintaining optimal performance and energy efficiency. As Texas ...
