  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 ...

  The Cambridge S-Series: A Lifecycle Cost Comparison

      When heating large commercial and industrial spaces, the Cambridge S-Series units stand out with their innovative design and unmatched efficiency. The unique blow-through design is at the core of this excellence, capable of delivering a 160-degree maximum temperature rise and discharge temperature. This design ensures more usable heat and enhanced thermal comfort with minimal temperature variation throughout the heated space. Superior Energy Efficiency One of the most compelling reasons to choose the Cambridge S-Series unit is its energy efficiency. Our units are 20 to 70 percent more energy-efficient than other indirect and gas-fired systems. This efficiency translates into significant energy savings, making it ideal for heating large commercial and industrial buildings. The Importance of Considering Life Cycle Costs When selecting a heating system for your facility, it's easy to focus on the initial equipment cost. However, it's crucial to consider the unit's total life cycle cost, including maintenance and operating expenses. While some project bids might gravitate toward the cheapest option, understanding the long-term financial impact is vital. Minimal Maintenance Requirements Cambridge units are designed with minimal maintenance in mind. Take, for example, our S ...

  Cambridge S-Series Preventative Maintenance Schedule

  Proper maintenance is essential to keep your Cambridge S-Series heating unit running efficiently and prevent costly repairs. This blog outlines a preventative maintenance schedule for your unit. Depending on whether your unit has filter sections, inspections should be done two or four times a year. In this guide, we'll cover crucial tasks like checking air filters, greasing bearings, inspecting belts, and more. By following these steps, you'll extend the lifespan of your equipment and optimize its performance, reducing energy costs and minimizing downtime. Let's get started on maintaining your Cambridge S-Series unit.  *Full maintenance procedures and instructions may be found in the applicable product tech manual. Suggested inspection Frequency:  2 times per year for units without filter sections  4 times per year for units with filter sections  Check the air filters: Clean these filters if necessary because dirty filters will reduce CFM and could damage the discharge air sensor.  Service the filters as needed based on the “loading” experienced. Clean filters typically start out with a pressure drop across the filters between 0.15 and 0.25” WC. Cleaning or replacement is generally required below the pressure drop increased by ...

  Commercial & Industrial End-Of-Year HVAC Maintenance Tips

  We all know that heating and indoor air quality play a significant factor in providing a happy and healthy work environment, and that yearly maintenance is necessary to keep those systems running efficiently.   Jeff Hodge, a member of the Cambridge service team, has provided some simple tips for mid-year maintenance to your commercial or industrial HVAC unit. End-of-Year Maintenance Tips 1. Filters - Service the filters as needed based on the “loading” experienced. Turn off the heater before servicing filters. Remove the filters from the filter section by opening the filter access door. Handle the filters carefully to prevent debris from being dislodged from the filter into the heater. 2. Check the belt - periodic belt adjustments help ensure the sustainability of the belt. If a belt is too tight, it can prematurely wear out the bearings and the belt. If the belt is too loose, it can slip or squeal.  3. Check the discharge temperature - Use a wired thermistor at the mixing box to calibrate the system if necessary.  4. Inspect the control panels - Look for loose or frayed wire connections and make ...
