AMPLIFY Overhead Fans with Northern Light Technology – Greenheck

Greenheck has incorporated the patented Northern Light^® UV-C technology into its line of AMPLIFY™ overhead high-velocity, low-speed (HVLS) fans today.

“We’re excited to add this technology to our AMPLIFY overhead fans,” said Tim Busby, general manager, fans, Greenheck. “This applied innovation will truly make a difference in indoor spaces.”

AMPLIFY with Northern Light’s unique, patented design combines the air-cleaning benefit of upper-room UV lighting with the air circulation capabilities of overhead fans. Upper-room UV lighting systems (also known as UVGI) have been used for decades to help control airborne pathogens in medical facilities and are recommended by the CDC, ASHRAE, and other organizations as part of a multilayer strategy to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. The addition of air movement has been shown to increase UV-C’s effectiveness.

Single-Phase Design Envelope Pumps – Armstrong Fluid Technology   

Armstrong Fluid Technology introduced a new version of its Design Envelope pump to serve light-duty installations where the available power is single phase.

"Many light-commercial and residential buildings use single-phase power and some mechanical rooms ‘step down’ three-phase power to make single-phase power available,” said David Lee, program manager, product development, Armstrong Fluid Technology. “These new pumps provide a practical and economical solution for those installations.”

The new Design Envelope pumps are now available for use with single-phase power (200-230 V) from 1/3-2 hp and, for increased reliability, are built to a design standard carried over from commercial pumps. In addition, because the mechanical room piping for light-duty fluid-flow applications is often installed vertically, these new single-phase pumps can be installed and operated in vertical piping.

Single-Zone Halcyon Mini-Split Heat Pumps – Fujitsu General America Inc.

Fujitsu General America Inc. expanded its Halcyon single-zone mini-split heat pump lineup with new slim duct and compact cassette indoor unit models.

The new light commercial systems, available in 9,000-, 12,000-, and 18,000-Btu capacities, have coils made of high corrosion-resistance copper (HCRC) to provide great durability. An enhanced controls platform provides multiple control options to optimize comfort and energy savings.

Installation, service, and end-user interface is easier than ever. The systems feature a custom auto function, external input/output connectivity, two-wire remote compatibility, and dual UART communication ports (Wi-Fi, BACnet, external input/output [I/O], etc.). Simultaneous connection of wired remote controller, Wi-Fi adapter, and external I/O board is simple. Service monitoring is conducted through a new touch panel controller. Maximum line set lengths have been extended; up to 98 feet total piping length for 18,000-Btu systems.

The new, compact units offer sound levels as low as 24 dBa. Slim-duct systems feature a modular design that’s field configurable for vertical or horizontal installation with bottom or rear return.

AJR-Q Axial Impulse Jet Fan – Systemair

The AJR-Q is the newest addition to Systemair’s AJR Series of Axial Impulse Jet Fans, which are designed to optimize sweep ventilation systems and reduce costly exhaust ducting in enclosed and underground parking garages. Using the combined performance factors of airflow, thrust, throw, and induction, the AJR fully implements an extraction ventilation strategy to more effectively reduce CO levels compared to traditional garage ventilation designs.

The new AJR-Q addresses the most common challenge of Axial Jet Fans by reducing objectionable fan and airflow noise while improving performance. The innovative design increases airflow and thrust while achieving up to 9% reduction in sound pressure (dB, LpA) measured at 10 feet of distance.

EasyHeat Slab Heating System for Suspended Concrete Floors – Emerson Automation Solutions

Even when properly insulated, concrete floors suspended over cold spaces will lose up to 80% of their heat. As heat is lost through the floor, it puts a costly strain on HVAC systems that heat structures, such as enclosed pedestrian bridges, transformer rooms, shipping facilities, and parking garages.

To reduce utility expenses and HVAC maintenance requirements, Emerson has introduced its new EasyHeat™ Elevated Slab Heating System. Comprised of self-regulating or mineral-insulated heating cables, power distribution controls, and accessories, the system comes ready to mount on the underside of a concrete slab with strapping to securely hold it in place. Insulation and a cosmetic ceiling finish are then installed to protect and hide the system from view. Cable is arranged in a serpentine pattern to achieve uniform heat distribution.

The system is designed to keep concrete floors at or near room temperature, eliminating the chill and taking significant strain off of HVAC systems. Besides reducing utility and maintenance costs, warm concrete floors make it far more comfortable for people within the structures, including those traveling on skywalks between gates at airports or those locating their cars in underground garages, among others.

1-Click Capture Feature for Fast Site Survey App – EMPEQ

Empower Equity (EMPEQ) launched its 1-Click Capture™ feature in the Fast Site Survey™ app, a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence (AI) technology. With a single click of a smartphone camera, 1-Click Capture automatically captures equipment information and digitizes data into virtually any cloud-based modeling software. 1-Click Capture upgrades EMPEQ’s software using Intelligent Equipment Identification technology, further increasing efficiency and accuracy in equipment energy audits.

Through EMPEQ’s Fast Site Survey app, EMPEQ customers have seen a 60%-80% reduction in time required to perform routine building audits and equipment inventories. Previously, app users had to take individual pictures for each data field, requiring multiple photos to catalog just one piece of equipment. 1-Click Capture requires only one step: taking a photo that captures data to be exported into an editable PDF, spreadsheet, or reporting software.
