We enjoy taking on a tough problem that challenges our ventilation expertise. Recently, a customer came to us with a problem that involved filtering out sand particles from the air. Eldridge was recommended to the customer because of our work on offshore vessels. The customer wanted us to design the best solution for filtering out …
Does your facility need an industrial exhaust system? That’s actually a bit of a trick question. Practically every building needs some method of exhaust to remove stale, dirty air from building interiors. Air quality deteriorates without proper exhaust, which can cause a huge number of health and safety hazards. A building exhaust system helps reduce …

An investment in a new or upgraded industrial ventilation system can have a significant benefit on the performance and comfort of people, product and processes in your facility. But what guarantee do you have that the ventilation system will actually perform as it was designed? In this week’s blog, I’ll and talk about the difference …
Industrial ventilation systems are critical for keeping environments comfortable and successful. Ventilation helps keep workers comfortable and remove contaminants from indoor air. Therefore, you want to keep your systems running at peak efficiency. One way to do this is to perform regular preventative maintenance on your ventilation system. We’ll discuss the benefits of preventative maintenance, types of …

Before the introduction of variable frequency drives (VFDs) in the early 1980’s, the only option for controlling fan motor speed was to build a motor with two different speeds. The problem with two speed motors is that they were expense and had very long manufacturing lead times. VFDs with current technology can cost effectively control …
Ventilation systems help keep facilities cool, comfortable, and safe. They help protect workers from extreme temperatures and also help facilitate removing contaminants from the air. However, they can also be quite noisy. Excessive noise can cause a lot of trouble for your facility, such as permanent hearing loss for workers, safety concerns, and other issues. …

When workers are in an environment that is safe, comfortable and productive and the company realizes a financial benefit for providing those working conditions, that is what we refer to as a successful environment. If you are in need of a whole facility solution for comfort cooling, let Eldridge show you how investing in Cambridge Air Solutions’ IEC units can create a successful environment in your facility.
To create a successful environment where workers are healthy, comfortable and productive, an industrial ventilation system must begin with the goal of making the inside temperature the same as the outside temperature. With the right number of air changes, the ventilation system will remove the solar and internal heat loads that create dangerous working conditions. But what can be done if after removing these heat loads, the inside temperature is still very hot? The solution is to add spot cooling equipment that can provide additional heat relief. In this article, I will discuss three spot cooling solutions that we recommend to our customers.
Looking for a simple, low-cost way to help control indoor temperatures and air quality? A gravity ventilation system maybe the solution for your application. This type of ventilation system has been around for about as long as humans have been building enclosed structures. Whether you want to add a gravity ventilation system to a new …
