FabricAir®
Dispersion
Systems
What is the product?
FabricAir® Dispersion Systems employ fabric to deliver conditioned air to
a wide variety of applications with varying individual requirements.
FabricAir® Ducts can be installed using a number of different
suspension systems which allow easy installation and rapid removal for washing
and maintenance.
The
fabric system offers many advantages over a metal duct system:
*a
fabric system is condensation free
*no damper is necessary
*no painting – the fabric is dyed
*no extra grills or diffusers
*no extra noise reduction
*fits straight from the factory, is assembled with zippers and ready for
suspension
The fabric systems are efficient for most jobs in ventilation, heating and
cooling. The system distributes air throughout the length of the
duct and not just from grills or diffusers as with metal ducts.
Available in permeable fabric or non-permeable fabric with several flow
model options to choose from. The systems are lightweight and extremely flexible and
are specified for use in leisure, retail, media and broadcasting settings,
as well as manufacturing, education, commercial and food processing
environments. Available in
round and half-round profiles, these systems are easily suspended from
ceilings, roof structures and walls to provide a flexible and cost
effective air distribution system.

Solaronics Energy Efficient True Dual Heater
Solaronics True Dual 2-Stage Infra-red Heating system
lowers operating costs and improves indoor comfort and air quality.
The 2-stage operation has both air and gas flows which
are modulated to provide precise air and gas ratios at both the high and
low heat stages. The heater operates in high heat mode when the
facility is cool. Once the desired set point temperature is near,
the heater powers down to the energy efficient, low heat setting.
This heater is ideal for manufacturing plants, loading
docks, warehouses, fire stations, and auto body shops.
Cambridge Engineering
Cambridge direct-fired Blow-Thru®
space heaters and make-up air units save energy and improve indoor
air quality. Uses patented Cambridge burner technology. Energy
savings for commercial/industrial buildings is documented by energy
modeling and utility bills from building studies.

Industrial Lighting with Light Corporation
Light Corporation has been enlightening the work space
since 1986 by providing cost effective lighting solutions to improve
productivity and energy efficiency.
Many
factories and warehouses suffer from “cave-like” conditions created by
HID, HPS and Mercury Vapor lighting systems.
Light Corp. has the lighting to brighten the work environment and
the bottom line.
Light has the Semaphore line of T5 and T8 high bay
lighting fluorescent fixtures for any large space application (warehouses,
factories, sports facilities and commercial spaces).
The Semaphore line features:
*Ideal solution for high mounting applications
*Excellent alternative to costly HID fixtures
*Reduced energy cost by 50%
*Easy to install - completely assembled and ready to hang
Evaporative
coolers offer a less expensive, environmentally friendly and effective way
to attain comfort cooling.
Evaporative coolers cool air through the process of
simple evaporation of water. Whenever water is evaporated, heat is
absorbed. With evaporative cooling, what is eliminated is the cost
of expensive compressor based cooling systems and ozone destroying CFC
refrigerants resulting in reduced operating and maintenance costs.
Benefits
of evaporative cooling:
*Fresh
Air – Supplies outside air and exhausts stale air, odors, and germs
*Carries Away Heat – A constant flow of cool air removes heat from the
work place
*Provides increased ventilation and air movement
*Lower energy consumption to produce a significant amount of
cooling
Types
of Evaporative Coolers
*Direct
Evaporative Cooling – lowers the dry bulb temperature while the wet
bulb temperature remains constant through the heat of evaporation.

Direct Saturation Efficiency
(Direct
Evaporative Cooling – lowers the dry bulb temperature while the wet bulb
temperature remains constant through the heat of evaporation.)
The
number of degrees the DRY BULB
TEMPERATURE (DBT) of the air can be lowered is a percentage of the WET
BULB DEPRESSION or (DBT – WBT) x EVAPORATIVE
EFFECTIVENESS.

*Direct Evaporative
Coolers require 100% fresh air with no re-circulated room air.
*Indirect Evaporative Cooling
– both the dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures are lowered sensibly by
cooling air in a heat exchanger in which the air side is cooled by the wet
side without adding moisture to the air stream.
No contact is made between the water and the air to be cooled.
*Two-Stage Indirect/Direct Cooling
– is a combination of the two. The
first-stage, Indirect, cools the air stream with Indirect Evaporative
Cooling thereby lowering both the dry bulb and wet bulb temperature.
The second-stage, Direct, further reduces the dry bulb temperature
while the wet bulb temperature remains the same.
