Fiber-free duct liner
AP Coilflex duct liner is fiber-free and manufactured without chlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons. It is designed for air-handling systems, variable-air-volume units, ducts, and other air-system components that require condensation control and resistance to moisture, damage, or heat gain. It reduces noise generated by fans and air movement.

Large-diameter fans
Low-speed fans in 6-ft to 24-ft diameters generate year-round, energy-efficient air circulation. The Isis fan is designed and engineered to dramatically improve air circulation in large areas, including industrial, agricultural, and commercial spaces.
—Big Ass Fans

Customizable IAQ monitor
The IAQPoint2 is a touchscreen, customizable, indoor-air-quality monitor that can control carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, temperature, and humidity. The unit boosts energy efficiency, fresh-air comfort, and the alertness and performance of building occupants through on-demand ventilation activation, with relays triggering fans via multianalog options or a building automation system.

VFD shaft-voltage test kit
The AEGIS Shaft Voltage Test Kit is designed to make measuring and documenting variable-frequency-drive- (VFD-) induced voltages easy. Motors controlled by VFDs are vulnerable to electrical bearing damage. Although specifiers may choose motors that are equipped with shaft-grounding rings, the shaft-voltage test kit may be used in retrofit applications while there is still time to head off damage and downtime. The kit includes a specially tipped probe and a portable oscilloscope.
—Electro Static Technology

Centrifugal fans
RadiCal centrifugal fans feature impellers of size 133 to 250 that are manufactured in one piece, allowing them to attain a high rotational speed. The styling of the impeller has been optimized to provide low-loss flow of air through the impeller without drastic cross-sectional changes.

Variable heat pump with auxiliary gas heat
The Rebel packaged rooftop system combines variable-heat-pump technology with auxiliary gas heat and a variable-inverter scroll compressor, while functioning as a variable-air-volume heat-pump unit down to 3 tons. The electronically commutated motors used on the fans allow for variable-speed operation. The units are available in 3- to 15-ton sizes, offer a modulating hot-gas-reheat option, and operate efficiently in colder weather. As a dedicated-outdoor-air system, the units provide energy-efficient makeup air for 100 percent outdoor-air applications.
