Winner Viega Radiant Auto-Balancing System
(RABS)
Innovation The Radiant AutoBalancing System (RABS) introduces
the ability to monitor the temperature of every return circuit in a radiant system. Coupled with the monitoring of each zone's air temperature
via wireless thermostats, the control
actuates flow of conditioned water to
each loop using a learning algorithm
to increase the efficiency of a radiant
installation.
Circuit lengths no longer need to
be designed to be similar lengths
or manually balanced using flow
controls on the manifold. Even
though designing similar length

Winner Caleffi Hydronic Solutions AngleMix™
Angle-Style ThermoStatic Mixing Valve
Innovation The Caleffi AngleMix™ 520
series thermostatic mixing valve
accurately controls mixed water
temperature in residential and commercial domestic hot water systems.
It is the industry's only thermostatic
mixing valve with an angle-styled
body. This geometry minimizes the
number of elbows required, which
reduces overall installation cost.
Additionally, AngleMix is the
industry's only thermostatic mixing
valve that can close off its hot and
cold ports at 100% tightness, preventing temperature creep or droop.
The Caleffi AngleMix™ 520 series
circuits is still best practice, designs
rarely account for furniture and
temporary floor covering. The system maintains set temperatures
through changes in these variables
without user input, giving designers more flexibility without loss of
efficiency.
This innovation will offer a desirable solution to customers seeking
high-efficiency radiant. The system
also incorporates more digitalization of plumbing for monitoring by
end users, something that is sought
more and more by customers looking to have more interesting and
useful data related to their system
performance. Additionally, this
system will save installers valuable time when balancing a radiant
easily mounts at the tank-type, or
tankless type water heater outlet,
and the angle-style body mixed temperature outlet is in line with the
water heater outlet. This facilitates
straight-line piping, which reduces
pipe elbows and overall space
required for installation.
The AngleMix has a lockable setpoint adjustment knob and includes
a temperature gauge on the mixed
temperature outlet for instant verification of temperature. The precision
engineered antiscale internal components minimize service requirements, ensure smooth operation and
long life and compensate for temperature and pressure fluctuations
of the incoming hot and cold water.
Available in a wide variety of end
Radiant Auto-Balancing System (RABS)
system. Once the system is connected to a manifold and the web
application, the customer has the
ability to make changes and monitor temperatures.
