Traditions & Opening Day

Published on by Brian FarnoLeave a comment

I’m sure wherever you live, the closest city that has a major league baseball team has a big to-do list centered around their opening day. Here in Cincinnati, it is very close to a holiday tradition for locals. We have friends who take off work and still take their teenage kids to the parade and take in all the festivities as part of an annual tradition. We can’t see the parade from our building in the Northeast corner of Cincinnati, and we don’t close because we pride ourselves on delivering shipments on time and when a customer needs, that speaks to the traditions that we honor.

Whenever you call in during business hours of 0700 – 1600 ET, you will be greeted by a real human, not some automated voice attendant that you have to guess which button to push or what to say to get to a real human. On top of that, we have an entire team of Application Engineers who are all trained across all of our product lines and will help to determine the best solutions for you and your team. We also pride ourselves on the ability to ship stock products on the same day for orders received by 2 PM ET. To top that off, we honor a 30-day guarantee on stock products shipped within the US and Canada.

This means if the product you receive doesn’t meet your expectations, our team will help you determine how to get it to exceed the need and if it cannot, then we will also walk you through the return process. This is on top of our 5-year built-to-last warranty on compressed air products ensuring their quality from material and workmanship defects. (1-year warranty for electronic components)

If you want to talk to a real person and start a relationship with a company that is going to help you get to the solutions you need in order to improve your process, contact an Application Engineer today!

Opening Day in Cincinnati Means Summer is Fast Approaching!

Published on by Tyler DanielLeave a comment

The first day of spring “officially” started on March 20th this year. I place the word officially in quotations as I don’t recognize spring until I can come home from work, flip on the TV and watch a Cincinnati Reds game. THAT is when spring starts in my mind, yesterday was that day. If you’re from Cincinnati, I don’t need to tell you how important Opening Day is here. As home to the first professional Major League Baseball team, we take great pride in our Cincinnati Reds here. Despite the recent spat of losing seasons…. So much so that Red’s Opening Day has become a de facto holiday of sorts. In fact, many schools will even recognize an excused absence for students that take the day off to go down for the game and festivities prior to the first pitch. There’s even a parade!!

With spring upon us, that means summer is right around the corner. While this is an exciting event for most of us, your maintenance manager may beg to differ. Increased temperatures lead to heat related problems in your electrical panels. With summer coming along before you know it, the time is now to get a solution in place before it becomes an issue.

EXAIR’s Cabinet Cooler Systems were designed specifically to rectify these issues within your facility. Utilizing Vortex Tube technology, the Cabinet Cooler produces cold air from an ordinary supply of compressed air. This cold air keeps the enclosure free of debris and moisture and is easily installed in minutes through a standard electrical knockout. Here is a short video that shows just how simple it really is. The Cabinet Cooler Systems are available with Nema 12 (IP54) ratings and are also available in Aluminum, 303 Stainless Steel, and 316 Stainless Steel construction for Nema 4/4X (IP66) rated enclosures. For systems that are not able to be mounted on top of the cabinet, we also have Side Mount Kits available in Aluminum, 303 Stainless, and 316 Stainless. This year, EXAIR also introduced a new line of Hazardous Location Cabinet Coolers for use in classified areas.

These systems are available with cooling capacities of anywhere from 275-5,600 Btu/hr. To make things much easier for you, we offer a Cabinet Cooler Sizing Guide that will allow us to recommend the most suitable model for your cabinet. With a few quick measurements, we’ll be able to determine the exact heat load that we’ll need to dissipate and offer you a quick and easy solution. If you experienced heat related issues on electrical panels last year, contact an Application Engineer today and we’ll see to it that this summer your cabinets remain cool!
