a "clean sheet" design and combines
the latest in plenum fan technology,
Aurora controls and economizer
integration to form a powerful platform of efficiency, flexibility and
integrated technology.
The Whalen Company announces
the launch of its new Closetline CAS
Packaged Heat Pump. Its capacities range from 0.5-ton to 5.0-ton
(1.8 kW to 17.6 kW) with 13.5 or 17.0
EER at WLHP conditions in a compact cabinet designed for ease of
service. Horizontal units can be
serviced through the unit bottom to
virtually eliminate removing ceiling
units. Units feature optional hot gas
reheat for temperature and humidity control, as well as hybrid heating
and cooling.
SMARTPACK fan packs from E
Flow Technologies are engineered
to meet stringent low-noise and
high-efficiency requirements in
industrial and commercial HVAC
and heat exchange applications.
SMARTPACK's construction includes
a custom-configured Multi-Wing
fan, ac or EC motor, fan guard and
shroud made from a strong metal
frame with a plastic skin. It's a
robust design to meet harsh environment requirements.
ABB's new Baldor-Reliance EC
Titanium integrated motor drive
product line utilizes Ferrite Assisted
Synchronous Reluctance (FASR)
technology with non-rare earth
magnet materials to meet and
exceed IE5 efficiency. Suitable for
constant and variable torque applications, the EC Titanium offers
excellent performance across a wide
speed load range and above base
speed conditions.

management industry. The online
courses for facility maintenance
include training videos covering
HVAC, plumbing and electrical. The
3D simulations can be customized
for enterprise solutions allowing
companies to deliver cost-effective
and scalable training across their
entire organization and distribution
channel.
Desert Aire SelectAire Plus (SP
Series) commercial dehumidification systems offer complete humidity control solutions for large indoor
pool applications and water parks.
The SP Series incorporates the original SelectAire System energy recovery technology and adds features
for applications that require the
superior cabinetry, state-of-the-art
fan design and next-generation control features for enhanced setup and
serviceability.
Nortek Air Solutions is launching the latest addition to its data
center cooling line, a computer
room air handler (CRAH). The
CRAH delivers the performance,
serviceability and quality that
are required by end users and
expected from a Nortek custom
air-handling product.
The MGS-400 series gas detectors
from Bacharach are for refrigerant
safety applications inside mechanical rooms, freezers, cold rooms and
warehouses. The entire portfolio of
products, from the MGS-408 centralized controller and the MGS-550
dual gas detector, to the infrared
sensing technologies of the MultiZone and MGS-250, offer complete
solutions to comply with ASHRAE
Standard 15 and EN 378.
ClimateMaster introduces its
Trilogy45 (VE) series of packaged
geothermal heat pump systems

for residential applications. The
systems uniquely feature leadingedge variable-speed components,
including the compressor, indoor
fan, and loop water circuit, designed
to match system capacity to the
heating and cooling load of the residence. The advanced design results
in an energy efficiency rating (EER)
greater than 45.
Marketair has added the DMB-34
adaptor fitting to its DrainMate line
of condensate drain hose connection fittings for ductless mini-split
(DMS) wall-mount evaporators.
The DrainMate DMB-34 is a blue
flexible plastic adaptor fitting for
quickly and easily creating a tight,
reliable connection from a DMS
wall-mount evaporator's 5/8-inch
(16-mm) condensate drain hose to a
3/4-inch (20-mm) schedule 40 PVC
drain pipe commonly used in many
applications.
Cleaver-Brooks announces the
launch of Prometha™ Connected
Boiler Solutions, an Internet-ofThings (IoT) powered solution that
delivers next-level boiler innovation
and technology. Ideal for any industry, this advanced solution offers
users the ability to remotely monitor
boiler systems from anywhere, providing alerts and actionable insights
that help increase reliability, efficiency, safety and sustainability in
the boiler room.
FabricAir introduces the VarioDuct,
a highly engineered solution for
most commercial building applications that provides both uniform
heating and cooling out of the same
ceiling-hung fabric duct.
VarioDuct provides unprecedented
air comfort and saves up to 25% in
energy costs vs. traditional metal
systems.
