  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 ...

  Heating a Warehouse or Distribution Center

  Cambridge High Temperature Heating & Ventilation (HTHV) Space Heating Systems are designed to meet a building's heat and air load requirements and be energy efficient.  Discharge air from the S-Series HTHV Heater creates a large volume of fresh, warm air flowing throughout the building which eliminates higher ceiling temperatures and uncomfortable drafts. The S-Series Heater utilizes 100% fresh air to dilute contaminants generated within the building. This virtually eliminates air quality problems associated with infrared heaters or conventional air heating systems that recirculate indoor air. The video below highlights the technology behind our S-Series heater or you can click here for more product information.

  How Two Military Bases are Keeping Fully Operational by Investing in their Facility’s Heating and Ventilation Systems

  Camp Casey and Camp K16 are two U.S. military bases in South Korea that are committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment for the brave men and women who serve our country. But during the deeply cold winters, maintaining a healthy working environment for the troops can be a real challenge.   Recently, an HVAC manufacturing representative local to the base brought Cambridge Air Solutions technical experts to Camp Casey and   Camp K16 to provide training on the S-Series HTHV heating system and M- Series ventilation systems. The S-Series - is designed to maintain set point temperatures with minimal maintenance, tempers 100% outside air for clean, even heating through the large spaces.  The M-Series – designed for its flexibility in bringing make-up air to industrial applications – was ideal for the demanding environment of these military bases. The team provided on-site training at each location, ensuring that they have the knowledge and skills needed to operate the heating systems to ensure the best indoor air quality and thermal comfort for the troops. The leaders at Camp Casey and Camp K16 understand the impact the working conditions can have on the people within the various military facilities and since implementing these cutting-edge heating solutions, they can now maintain even indoor air ...

• Duct Smoke Detector Requirements For Make-Up Air & Heating Units.

  Many building owners working through retrofit or new construction projects are familiar with International Mechanical Code (IMC) standards, which state that an HVAC smoke detector be installed on any air handling system with a capacity greater than 2,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Following installation of a new air handling system, most building owners will need to have their new heating or ventilation equipment inspected by municipal code authorities, who adhere to requirements put into place by the IMC. A common item flagged on installations of industrial HVAC equipment—including Cambridge Air Systems products—is that a smoke detector was not installed on the system. This is a common request made by engineers and building inspectors that we see at Cambridge Air Solutions – and is a misinterpretation of how our 100-percent outside air make-up air systems and industrial heating products work. Have you ever received a request to include an HVAC smoke detector with your Cambridge heater? You are not alone. Within this article, the experts at Cambridge seek to alleviate any confusion over whether a smoke detector should be installed ...

  Going Green with a Sustainable Building

  Reducing our own carbon footprint with solar panels and evaporative cooling As part of our corporate social responsibility, we know we have to be stewards of our environment, and for nearly six decades, have invented and brought to market some of the most energy efficient HVAC technologies available in the manufacturing and distribution market segments. Our heating, evaporative cooling and ventilation technologies alone operate at 40%-65% savings versus traditional technologies. Our systems make a big difference for each individual facility through operational cost savings, but the true environmental impact is when 55,000 of our facility installations compound for massive electrical and natural gas savings. Complementing our own HVAC system performance, Cambridge sought out the opportunity to install solar panels in support of the energy reduction mission. Our CEO John Kramer says, “When the solar opportunity came about, I jumped on it because energy savings will have an impact on our business, on our community and on the world.” He went on to say, “Cambridge exists to enrich the lives of others and this move has an impact on future generations. Enriching lives is ...
