  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 ...

  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 ...

  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 ...

  The 4 Green Flags to Look for from your HVAC Manufacturer

  You need to finish contracts on schedule and within budget. So it’s painful to put up with malfunctioning equipment causing post-install callbacks. Those eat at your bottom line. Same with awful lead times or a lack of installation guidance or, worst of all, shipments with critical errors on arrival.  Avoiding these problems shouldn’t entail significant asks from your manufacturer. They should be expectations.  Mechanical contractors are in communication with HVAC manufacturers all the time. But the ones who look for key pieces of information when ordering their equipment avoid the pitfalls that derail their competition.   So let’s dive in. Here are green flags mechanical contractors should identify in manufacturers — green flags that make for easier, hassle-free projects.  #1 They test their equipment beyond standard benchmarks  Every manufacturer will tell you they test their equipment. You’re looking for a manufacturer that can describe exactly how far they go on end-of-line testing.  But technical support doesn’t mean much if the person on the other end of the call isn’t a real expert. It’s a green flag when the manufacturer you’re talking to has technicians with long ...
