Ventilation systems

The Dream Aire 5000 ventilation system offers a combination of air-purification and bacteria-killing capability through the use of an electrostatic precipitation process (ESP) with a cleansing efficiency of 95 percent. The unit also serves as an energy- and heat-recovery system constantly moving air in and out of the classroom or office, with a heat exchange rate of 75 percent. The energy of exhausted air is retained in the unit's exchanger while fresh air is treated to ensure a consistent temperature. A thermostat inside of the unit recognizes the temperature of incoming fresh air, heating the air when its temperature is lower than 55°F or 65°F, depending on a pre-set temperature preference.

Heat pumps

Tranquility Rooftop (TRE) heat pumps are designed for an extended range of source-water temperatures, which makes the units suitable for closed-loop or ground-source closed-loop systems. The 3- to 20-ton heat pumps can introduce a fixed amount of outside air year-round or free cooling when outdoor conditions are favorable. Features include galvanized-steel construction with polyester powder-coat paint, Copeland scroll compressors, insulated cabinetry, and a slide-out blower assembly with high-efficiency motors.

Multigas monitors

Able to monitor up to four gases with one button controlling all functions, Tetra multigas monitors feature a backlighted “at-a-glance” display providing simultaneous viewing of all gas readings, alarm conditions, and battery life. The monitors give rapid warnings of the presence of gas when hazardous levels are detected. Users are alerted by bright blue and red light-emitting diodes and a 90-dBA alarm.

Fire/smoke damper

Three-hour-rated with Class I leakage, FSD-331 combination fire/smoke dampers feature a high-strength steel airfoil-style blade. The dampers have velocity ratings of up to 4,000 fpm and a pressure rating of up to 4 in. wg. The units are available in a vertical mount with a maximum size of 120 in. wide by 96 in. high.

Building-management iPhone application

The USE-Mobile iPhone application utilizes U.S. Energy Group's USE Manager system to allow property managers to control buildings via a mobile device, such as an iPhone, Blackberry, or other smart phone. Features include real-time status of critical boiler information and full system integration with the USE-Controller energy-management system and Verifier digital fuel gauge.

Zone-control panels

For light-commercial applications, Zone Control Panels can be configured to operate pumps or zone valves for up to five hydronic heating zones. Two panels can be daisy chained for control of up to 10 zones. The panels can be configured to give priority to domestic hot water so that it is available under all load conditions, including a single “hard-to-heat” zone.

Room-pressure monitors

Applications for SRCM room-pressure monitors include pharmaceutical, hospital, semiconductor, research-laboratory, and cleanroom facilities. The monitors are well-suited to monitor positive, negative, or neutral air pressures per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines in hospital isolation rooms and protected environments requiring stringent room-pressure monitoring and alarming.

Controls remote

The BAS Remote was developed as a BACnet/Internet Protocol (IP) remote input/output device that could connect to an IP Ethernet infrastructure. With a Modbus serial bus interface, the remote routed Modbus transmission-control-protocol messages to attached Modbus serial slaves. With firmware Version 3.0, these same Modbus slaves can be mapped as BACnet objects. The remote allows users of controls, such as those used with boilers and lighting, to convert Modbus variables to BACnet objects for installations as well as systems that require BACnet.

Combination louver/air-measuring station/damper

The IAQ350XL combines a wind-driven rain louver, air-measuring station, and high-performance airfoil control damper in one product. A Class 1 leakage damper provides tight sealing on a building envelope and a standard factory pressure transducer allows a building-automation-system interface.

Circulators

For light-commercial hydronic applications, Alpha 115-v circulators feature a permanent-magnet motor design that can cut power consumption by 50 percent or more. The circulators are equipped with the Grundfos AutoAdapt function, which automatically modulates circulator performance to match changing system demand. An electronically controlled motor features a magnetized rotor, which avoids motor-slippage problems.

Hydronic-tank controller

The HydroZone hydronic-tank controller eliminates the need for external control devices when used in conjunction with the GeoTank large flow center. A sensor that is built into geothermal storage tanks enables the module to control water temperature using one of three strategies: outdoor reset (heating only), tank control (manual), or tank control (auto changeover). With menu-driven software and adjustable set points and deadbands, the unit can control up to four compressor stages. The fourth stage is configurable as auxiliary heat for the hydronic tank.
