Why do hot air balloons rise? Because hot air is less dense than cooler air. It’s a fundamental principle of physics we intuitively grasp. But what about air that’s thick with moisture? If you’ve ever felt the oppressive weight of a humid day, you might assume that water vapor makes the air heavier. The truth, …

Most modern industrial ventilation systems engineered by Eldridge feature two essential components: louvers and backdraft dampers. While both components regulate airflow, they serve distinct functions. In this comprehensive guide to louvers and backdraft dampers, we’ll explore their similarities, differences, and specific purposes, along with the key factors that determine their selection for various applications. Similarities …

It is May and already temperatures are soaring into the 90’s in many parts of the country. If your facility does not have an adequate ventilation system, the solar load can easily add another 20 degrees to the inside temperature. That makes for an unhealthy work environment. In this blog, I’ll discuss how to prepare …

The sun beating down on your industrial building can cause excessive heat to build up inside over the course of the day. This heat, known as solar load, forces your cooling systems to work harder, driving up your energy costs. Strategically placed and sized industrial fans and ventilation components can significantly reduce the heat trapped …
