How Cambridge S-Series HTHV Technology Improves Industrial Space Heating
High Temperature Heating and Ventilation (HTHV) technology combines high discharge-air temperatures with high-velocity air distribution to provide space heating and outdoor-air ventilation for large commercial and industrial buildings.
HTHV products are the safest, most energy efficient way to heat. Cambridge’s HTHV products have the lowest total cost of ownership when compared to other heating technologies, especially when compared to standard efficiency gas unit heaters. Our HTHV products have been proven through both a DOE study and our own building studies to save between 20% to 70% on energy depending on the building, location, application, and installation.
FAQs About Industrial Space Heaters
What is the best type of industrial space heater for a warehouse?
The best industrial space heater depends on the warehouse's size, ceiling height, air infiltration/insulation, loading dock door activity, climate, ventilation needs, and operating schedule. Options include conventional gas-fired unit heaters, infrared heaters, and high-temperature heating and ventilation (HTHV) systems. Cambridge Air's S-Series is designed for large commercial and industrial spaces where heat distribution, ventilation, and energy efficiency are important considerations.
What is the Cambridge S-Series industrial space heater?
The Cambridge S-Series is a high-efficiency, direct gas-fired HTHV space heater designed for large commercial and industrial buildings. Its proprietary Blow-Thru® design uses 100% outdoor air and high-velocity discharge to distribute heated air throughout the space. Typical applications include warehouses, manufacturing facilities, aircraft hangars, and indoor recreational buildings.
Are Cambridge S-Series heaters suitable for factories and manufacturing plants?
The Cambridge S-Series is designed for large industrial and commercial spaces, including manufacturing plants and factories. Its HTHV technology provides heating and outdoor-air ventilation. A building-specific assessment can help determine whether the system is appropriate for a particular process, layout, and ventilation requirement. Applications involving process exhaust, airborne contaminants, or specialized ventilation requirements should be evaluated to ensure the heating system is properly integrated with the facility's ventilation design.
Can an industrial space heater help reduce energy costs?
Yes. A properly designed industrial heating system can reduce energy consumption by improving heating efficiency and air distribution. Cambridge Air Solutions has documented energy savings in application studies comparing HTHV heating with conventional heating technologies. Actual savings vary based on the existing heating system, building characteristics, climate, installation, and operating conditions. Cambridge Air Solutions can provide a facility-specific energy analysis is recommended to estimate potential savings.
What should I consider when replacing industrial unit heaters?
Consider the building's heating load, location of mounting equipment, service access, ceiling height, heat distribution, ventilation requirements, energy consumption, installation constraints, maintenance needs, and total cost of ownership. Comparing conventional industrial unit heaters with alternatives such as HTHV systems can help determine which solution best meets your facility's needs.
Can Cambridge Air help select a heating system for my building?
Yes. Cambridge Air Solutions provides application and design assistance, including heat-load calculations through its proprietary Cal-Q-Heat® program. Our team can evaluate building heating requirements, recommend heater sizing and placement, and compare potential energy consumption with other heating technologies.
