ASHRAE Journal - January 2009 - (Page S16) Innovation A wards to loads. The ADAP-KOOL® drive is a variable capacity drive with refrigeration setting terms designed for technicians. Its straightforward setup wizard and online support simplify operation for OEMs, installers, and commissioning and service technicians. Software Mc4 Software’s (Booth 3130) Mc4 Suite multi-use software program accelerates the design process by fully integrating data between building systems, including fire, SIM, duct, energy, hydronic, radiant floor, mechanical room, and photovoltaic systems. It promotes interdepartmental collaboration, and enhances final project presentation and client comprehension. Tools and Instruments The Smart Bell Combustion Meter from UEi (Booth 5250) simplifies combustion analysis by allowing users to tune combustion equipment by measuring the CO2 and flue temperature. It then displays calculated values for excessive air, combustion efficiency, oxygen and net temperature. The Smart Bell uses infrared sensors in combustion testing. Ventilation The Aero Acoustic Diffuser for Plenum/Plug Fans from Twin City Fan Companies (Booth 2136) reduces noise and improves operation efficiency in plenum or plug fans without the additional pressure drop and increase power consumption associated with traditional acoustic silencers. The Aero Acoustic Diffuser achieves sound power reduction by 3 to 5 dB, especially in frequencies ≥ 1000 Hz. HONORABLE MENTIONS Building Automation The BBC-SD (BACnet Building Controller Small Display) from American Auto-Matrix (Booth 3449) allows users to access and manipulate up to 150 points, including temperatures, setpoints, schedules, and alarm data on any BACnet MS/TP BAS network. The Delta Controls Touchscreen—HMI BACnet Operator Display from Delta™ Controls (Booth 3423) can be mounted in mechanical rooms or public spaces, and allows users to to manage BACnet systems using its 7-in. color touchscreen. Its customized graphical representation of systems makes the HMI touchscreen simpler than traditional menu-driven displays. Graphics can be customized to control everything from one room to multiple HVAC systems. Lynxspring’s (Booth 3756) JENEsys™ snap! energy management system automates the setup and operation of Web-based temperature control applications for light commercial buildings. This solution combines the controller with an appliance, then performs a self discovery, creates a Web page and populates default values for use in an energy management system, ultimately giving small-building owners the same type of control that large-building owners enjoy, all for a low cost. The ProtoCessor from FieldServer Technologies (Booth 3653) is an OEM industrial protocol module interface solution that easily enables device manufacturers to convert legacy/ proprietary communication output to meet the user’s interoperability needs to interface with BACnet®, LonWorks, Metasys, Modbus and 80+ other protocols. Designed for maximum adaptability, it is available as a plug-in module, daughterboard or external box. The SMART-Space™ Controller from Reliable Controls® (Booth 3600) is a BACnet controller designed to offer information and control to occupants using three buttons and a large configurable display. It offers freely programmable and configurable features—including four Kbyte languages, 32 variables, two PID Lops, two trendlog multiples and one graphic group—in a low-cost package.
