  Cambridge Information Bulletin - Selection, Placement & Installation of an S-Series Unit - Thru Wall Mounting

  THRU WALL UNITS  Thru wall units are an excellent choice for many warehouse applications. They do not require any floor space. Typically, the units are mounted in shipping/receiving areas to address the cold air gain at the dock doors.  For manufacturing areas, due to the presence of overhead cranes, thru wall units are frequently not a viable option. The clearance required for an overhead crane at the side wall typically does not allow adequate room to install a thru wall unit.  The heater may have an external gas train. The gas train should be positioned such that the equivalent distance from the outlet of the gas train to the inlet of the heater does not exceed 4 feet. Usually the best location is to place the gas train perpendicular to the side of the heater, so it can be piped directly into the heater’s gas inlet, as illustrated in the S-Series Technical Manual.  Servicing the unit is another potential problem if overhead cranes are present. Accessing the unit via a boom lift or scissors lift will entail entering crane space. This usually means ...

  Cambridge Info Bulletin - Moisture in Buildings

  In new construction, the primary source of moisture entering the building is most likely from the newly poured concrete slab. The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) describes the ‘What’ and ‘How’ of concrete slab moisture in their 2004 Concrete in Practice publication CIP 28-Concrete Slab Moisture. Potential sources of concrete slab moisture include: The floor slab is in contact with saturated ground. Moisture moves to the slab surface via capillary action or wicking. Water vapor from damp soil will diffuse and condense on a concrete slab surface that is cooler and at a lower relative humidity due to a vapor pressure gradient. Residual moisture in the slab from the original concrete mixing water will move towards the surface. It may take anywhere from six weeks to one year or longer for a concrete slab to dry out to an acceptable level under normal conditions. Reference: Bruce Suprenant,  Concrete Construction, November, 1997. The topic is also dealt with in depth by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in their publication EPA 402-F-13053. Moisture Control Guidance for Building Design, Construction and Maintenance. December, 2013. Topics ...

  Whoever heard of burping a building?

  This tech blog was written by our engineer Bill Meyer, of the Cambridge Air Solutions Applications Engineering team. “Spec” buildings… You gotta love ‘em. We, at Cambridge are frequently involved with heating “spec” buildings. You know how it goes: a developer puts up the shell, pours the concrete slab, heats the building to a minimum temperature the closes it up with no plans for ventilation. At some point in the future, the developer signs up a tenant and proceeds with the tenant fit-out. That is where our story begins. The 200,000 sq. ft., 32’ high, uninsulated tilt wall building in Kansas City was erected in 2017 but was not occupied until 2019. In February 2020 our Regional Sales Manager learned from the Property Manager that the tenant was experiencing problems: condensation on the walls and the heaters were not maintaining the desired 55°F space temperature (although the design temperature was 50°F). A Cambridge Applications Engineer was asked to follow up to see if there was anything we could do to help. Cambridge had participated in a “Building Burp Test” for a similar building ...
