Kohler Co.’s much-anticipated KD Series di`esel-powered generator sets perform at 3,500 kW and 4,000 kW (60 Hz) / 4,000 kVA and 4,500 kVA (50 Hz), respectively, and are powered by the Kohler KD103V20 diesel engine. Developed by the company’s global team of engineers, the new KD Series 3,500- and 4,000-kW gensets incorporate a powerful and sophisticated K175 diesel engine — the KD 103 liter, 20-cylinder model. From a design perspective, Kohler kept many of the engine components the same as the KD Series predecessors, including the control system, fuel system, and cooling system, to name a few.

Daikin added a vertical configuration to its PreciseLine® air handlers, which are designed to improve IAQ and comfort and deliver energy savings — all in a compact footprint. Built using a series of small, integrated units, PreciseLine air handlers provide exceptional functionality and adaptability when faced with space and budget restrictions. The new vertical configuration gives engineers and contractors additional application flexibility, ideal for retrofits and applications, such as individual classroom conditioning. Compliant with ASHRAE 62.1-2019 standards for high IAQ, PreciseLine air handlers include many technologies and design elements to minimize pathogens and allergens. The system can also be equipped with up to MERV-13 filters, which capture particles as small as 0.3-1 micron, such as Legionella and spores. Daikin Applied www.daikinapplied.com

enVerid Systems introduced a tool to calculate energy, costs, and carbon impact of various HVAC strategies for mitigating airborne transmission of COVID-19. The free, open-source enVerid COVID-19 Energy Estimator allows building owners, mechanical engineers, and facility managers to quickly gain a more complete picture of the risks, costs, and carbon impacts of different ventilation and filtration approaches. enVerid COVID-19 Energy Estimator was co-developed by enVerid Systems and Dr. Marwa Zaatari, P.E., an ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer and member of the commercial team and building reopening team for the ASHRAE Epidemic Task Force. enVerid https://tinyurl.com/covid-energy-estimator

Automated Logic’s new IntelliSuite™ Analytics Solution features a comprehensive set of applications, services, and expert support to help optimize equipment and systems across your facilities. The IntelliSuite analytics solution is powered by the CORTIX® IoT platform. Adopted from EcoEnergy Insights, a provider of analytics-driven energy management and business outcome services and also a part of Carrier, this advanced artificial intelligence (AI) platform can predict failures and maintenance issues while also helping pinpoint efficiency improvements. Proactive recommendations are made to improve performance. The recommendations are then fed back into the platform, enabling CORTIX to "learn" their effectiveness and use the information to predict similar situations in the future.

LG Air Conditioning Technologies USA has expanded its portfolio of single- and multi-zone products with LGRED° (Reliable to Extreme Degrees) technology, bringing powerful heating capability to more single-zone products and pushing the industry forward in the electrification of residential and light commercial building sectors. Boasting heating capacity performance down to 5°F and continuous heating operations down to minus 13°, products featuring LGRED° heat technology efficiently deliver heat during colder weather. LG single-zone systems with LGRED° provide homeowners and small business owners with an electric option that reliably delivers year-round heating and cooling in an all-in-one inverter heat pump system. For cold climate zones especially, the systems offer a greener alternative, replacing expensive, supplemental heat sources. LG Air Conditioning Technologies USA www.lghvac.com

Regal Beloit Corp.’s Browning TorqTitan notched belt utilizes innovative elastomers, optimized cord arrangements, and notch profiles, making it a power-dense and energy-efficient V-belt. The high-horsepower belt requires no re-tensioning, maintenance, or downtime. The specially engineered shape in the notch design reduces bending stresses for improved flexibility, increased heat dissipation, and better performance on small pulley diameters. This improved flexibility helps increase belt life and lowers energy consumption while also improving drive performance. The TorqTitan belt, with newly formulated EPDM rubber material, resists hardening to avoid cracking in temperatures up to 260°F, making it an ideal solution for hot-air HVAC applications or other high-temperature environments.

Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US’s (METUS’) enhanced Branch Circuit (BC) Controller is now available with pre-installed ball valves. As the technological heart of CITY MULTI® R2-Series systems, the BC Controller allows the system to simultaneously heat and cool different zones within a building using energy-saving heat recovery. The module contains a liquid-gas separator and uses a two-pipe configuration to provide simultaneous operation. The BC Controller’s tube-in-tube heat exchangers can accomplish subcooling without returning refrigerant to the outdoor unit, reducing the total energy consumption because of less use of the compressor. By pre-installing the module’s ball valves, METUS made BC Controller installation quicker and easier for HVAC contractors, lowering labor costs. Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US www.mitsubishipro.com
