I recently heard of a new product that conserves energy by recycling warm air. And it could generate big demand with utility prices on the rise. It's called the Airlift 2000 and is specifically designed for large open buildings that inherently use great amounts of energy to satisfy their heating needs. Usually when a warehouse or open building is built, large unit or radiant heaters are installed near the ceiling. The heaters are triggered by a thermostat that is controlled at the ground level.
Hot air rises, making floor level cool, so the thermostat is difficult to satisfy.
Thus, the heaters run continually, using excessive amounts of natural gas. Ceiling temperatures can be 95 degrees while floor temperatures struggle to maintain 60 degrees. The Airlift 2000 recycles existing heat by moving the cool air to the ceiling, forcing warm air down to the floor. The result is a more uniform, comfortable temperature with energy cost savings up to 30 percent. The movement of air created by the Airlift 2000 not only reduces heating costs and creates a more comfortable work environment, but also reduces potential condensation problems common in many warehouses.
