Water-cooled, ceiling-mount air conditioner
The CMW30 ceiling-mount, water-cooled air conditioner is designed for applications where an air-cooled unit cannot be used because there is no available space for hot exhaust air. With a cooling capacity of 29,400 Btuh total and 22,000 Btuh sensible, the CMW30 is ideal for server rooms and other applications with dense heat loads. It offers a 17-IEER rating and has built-in flanges and mounting brackets for easy, low-cost installation using standard off-the-shelf hardware. For more information, visit bit.ly/MovinCool_CMW30.

Expanded driver library
Two new drivers for the NiagaraAX platform have been added to Tridium’s library of drivers. The Niagara AX Carrier Equipment Driver provides integration of Carrier HVAC equipment with JACE platforms, including the JACE-NXT, and embedded JACEs, such as JACE-6 and JACE-7 series controllers. It allows for the discovery of CCN controllers and bridge devices mounted on Carrier Equipment. The NiagaraAX Driver for McQuay equipment supports communication with the McQuay Open Protocol Master (OPM), is compatible with NiagaraAX release 3.4 or later, communicates via RS-232 to one OPM, and works like other Niagara drivers with remote data represented as proxy points in the JACE station.

Variable-speed drives
The Altivar 212 variable-speed drive and S-Flex enclosed version are designed to provide OEMs and control-panel builders with energy-efficient and economical solutions for pump and fan applications. The AC drives adjust motor speed to the required flow of air or fluids, reducing energy costs by 50 percent. Both the Altivar 212 and S-Flex feature electronic motor controls that reduce the mechanical stress on belts, piping, and ductwork and eliminate valve or inlet-guide-vane maintenance. The Altivar 212 is small and, therefore, saves panel space. It includes a full complement of integrated building-automation networking, while its reduced harmonic technology lowers component costs.

Vane anemometer pens
These pens are available in three models that measure: airflow/temperature, airflow/temperature/humidity/dew point, and airflow/temperature/humidity/dew point/barometric pressure. They are designed for intuitive, easy operation, and have a tough ABS plastic housing with O-ring seal. A membrane keypad keeps out dust and dirt. A "Hold" button freezes the reading on the display. The pens have high-contrast LCD digits for easy reading. At the press of a button, the pens recall minimum/maximum readings. They can be used in laboratories, industrial plants, government buildings, medical facilities, and much more. For more information, go to www.control3.com.
