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 …

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.
The ability to read a fan curve has become a dying skill set. With the introduction of fan selection software, fan selection has become as easy as entering the required inputs and then letting the software interpret which fan is best suited for the operating conditions. But, what will someone do if years after the …

Heat stress, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke are all a concern as temperatures rise for the summer. Industrial fans and ventilation systems can help keep workers cool to reduce the risk of health and safety hazards from extreme heat. Hot environments can cause overheating, which can lead to heat-related illnesses and even heat-related death. Overheating can also …
