RAM Air HVAC Celebrates Installation of Pelican Wireless HVAC Control System in the Malcolm X Library

Pelican Wireless HVAC control system in the Malcolm X Library and are happy to report the fantastic results.

Due to the library’s unusual HVAC system, complete with zone boxcar units, package systems, and a cooling tower, the Pelican Wireless HVAC control system was needed to give complete commercial temperature control over the various thermostats and climate zones within the library.

Another challenge encountered by RAM’s HVAC installation team was the fact that the City of San Diego’s IT department wanted a special charge in order to give internet access and also did not like the idea of intranet access.  Rather than charge the customer an additional internet access fee for wireless control of their HVAC system, RAM’s HVAC technicians connected to a mobile hotspot device known as a Verizon puck. After the addition of a mini router to perform final connection, the combination proved to have no down time (which would not have been the case with an IT server combination). Overall, this was a very inexpensive way to achieve the goal and give the customer simple and effective control over their Pelican Wireless HVAC control system from a smartphone, iPad, or computer.

Due to the expertise installation by RAM’s professional HVAC technicians, the library has faced zero down time over the past two years, not to mention the Pelican Wireless HVAC control system provides the customer with:

– Complete virtual commercial temperature control over every thermostat and climate zone.

– Thermostat time scheduling individually or by groups via smartphone, iPad, or computer.

– Real-time fault notifications should an issue occur

– Reduced energy costs due to the Pelican Wireless HVAC control system’s level of control and flexibility.

San Diego HVAC Technicians Solve Long-Time Issue at San Diego Zoo

Using a bit of problem solving and creativity, RAM Air’s San Diego HVAC technicians have solved a long-time commercial HVAC issue at the San Diego Zoo.

Southern California HVAC technicians solve problem at San Diego Zoo

Just as companies are invested in the health and comfort of their employees, the San Diego Zoo cares for the wellness of it’s staff and animals. Due to overhanging trees near the Warner office units, debris would fall from overhead and become lodged in the coils of the air conditioning unit, requiring frequent and extensive cleaning.

Instead of allowing this problem to persist for the client, our San Diego HVAC technicians came up with an ingenious solution involving the installation of special netting above the cooling unit and a Tridim 1-ply filter.  The combination of the overhead netting and special filter serve to effectively provide condenser protection by preventing debris from the overhanging trees from entering the air conditioning unit. Furthermore, when the condenser fan starts up, it blows the debris from the netting above onto the ground for easy clean up.

Orange County Commercial HVAC Mechanical Contractor Company Works With Recycled Water Controls in Irvine

Orange County Commercial HVAC Mechanical Contractor Company, Ram Air Engineering is currently working on a recycled water controls project using Johnson Controls to manage this large water recycling facility under construction in the Irvine Ranch Water District.

Orange County Commercial HVAC Irvine Ranch Water District
With hardware in and programming starting remotely, this intricate water controls project will take approximately 40 hrs. of programming. Due to the complexity of the recycled water controls, it takes a highly skilled Irvine commercial HVAC contractor who understands mechanical systems and programming dynamics. This alone speaks to the level of skills and team of professional HVAC service technicians at Ram Air Engineering. 

Since the groundwater in California is considered a non-renewable resource, it is just too valuable to be used once. Through the use of recycled water in Irvine:

  • Drinking water supplies are extended to more than 4,000 customers,
  • The need for additional potable water facilities is reduced,
  • The amount of treated wastewater discharged into the ocean is reduced, 
  • The reliance on costly imported water supplies is reduced, and
  • Water supply reliability is increased.

The Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) in Orange County is a national leader in reclaimed water. Beginning in 1963, a forward-thinking Board of Directors implemented their vision to integrate water recycling into the overall design of the community of Irvine, Orange County. The goal was, and continues to be, to enhance water supply reliability through a comprehensive reclaimed water program. As a result, IRWD’s scope of services was expanded to include wastewater collection and treatment services for the purpose of producing reclaimed water and began delivering recycled water to its agricultural customers within four years of its initial commitment. Today, IRWD’s nationally recognized recycled water program encompasses a wide variety of uses such as landscape irrigation, industrial processes, and toilet flushing in commercial buildings.

Emergency HVAC Contractor Service Call at Galway Downs Equestrian Centre in Temecula, Riverside

A recent emergency HVAC contractor service call at Galway Downs Equestrian Centre in the beautiful rolling hills of Temecula Valley wine country, Riverside has resulted in happy horses and one very satisfied client.

When Eclipse Equine Sports Therapy Centre, out of Paso Robles, CA, called RAM’s emergency HVAC technicians to take a look at their first off-site cold salt water therapy spa for high-performance horses, it was discovered that their chiller had failed due to a bad glycol pump.  The 35° degree salt water relieves pain and inflammation from a horse’s lower limbs and promotes the repair of soft tissue damage.

Emergency HVAC service call at Galway Downs

With little time before a major horse show over the coming weekend, Ram’s skilled technician, Tim (Junior) Skeens, resolved to replace the entire chiller, rather than risk ordering a new pump part from the factory in Texas. After draining the glycol out of the old chiller, adding it to the new chiller, our qualified HVAC technician re-piped the saltwater loop into the new chiller and tied in the high voltage. After turning on the power, the chiller still did not come on. After further investigation, Junior discovered that one of the new chiller’s two glycol pumps seized. After swapping the pump from the old chiller, the new chiller’s pump began to run but still would not remain cold. After troubleshooting controls, it was found that the flow switch needed additional calibration and after further fine tuning, the new chiller fired up.

With four permanent, cold salt water therapy spas at their main facility, the new off-site therapy spas will be a great addition to major horse tracks in California for Eclipse Equine.

HVAC Upgrade Underway for Costco Western Regional Corporate Center in La Jolla

When moving your business into an older building, it’s often times a great idea to consider an HVAC upgrade. In the case of the Costco Western Regional Corporate Center in La Jolla, a former aircraft assembly plant and it’s previous building automation system or BAS was failing to provide a comfortable environment for those working in converted office space as well as lacking in energy efficiency.

Due to the age and configuration of the ceiling in the older building, RAM’s professional HVAC technicians had an interesting challenge ahead of them in removing the current BAS in the building and installing the new Pelican Wireless Zone system. By undergoing this HVAC upgrade, the building will now feature a control system that is user friendly, cost effective, and ultimately, provide better control and comfort for Costco’s office employees.

The new Pelican Wireless Zone system is a wireless mesh thermostatic control network that allows each installed thermostats to connect between themselves and not interfere with WiFi or other wireless networks. This system also allows occupants to easily access, monitor, and control the building’s commercial HVAC system on any internet enabled device from anywhere.

Complete commercial HVAC systems including installation, repair, service, and in this case, an HVAC upgrade from RAM Air Engineering comes with more than 30 years of proven southern California commercial HVAC experience.

HVAC Maintenance for the Sea Life Aquarium at the Legoland Resort

With the variety of marine life and varying water temperature needs, Sea Life Aquarium at the Legoland Resort in Carlsbad enlisted the help of Ram Air for regular HVAC maintenance. The importance of maintaining commercial cooling systems, especially for a large-scale aquarium, lies in water temperature consistency.

One of the biggest problems caused by overheating of aquarium water is a lack of dissolved oxygen. For this reason, regular HVAC maintenance should be completed on cooling systems and chillers in order to maintain consistent water temperatures for more heat sensitive, aquatic life such as corals, starfish, clams, snails, etc.
