Innovation Awards A single sensor in the EcoFlow–Electronic Expansion Distributor from Danfoss (Booth 4126) monitors superheat throughout the evaporator. Patented algorithms drive the valve’s rotating disc to deliver exactly the refrigerant each circuit requires, ensuring full evaporator use. The totally integrated free-cooling system of Free-Cooling chillers from Motivair Corporation (Booth 2126) allows partial or 100% free cooling when outside temperature is below chilled water/glycol temperature. Compressors unload or cycle off automatically while fan power is reduced by variable-frequency drives. Green Building PIRO-Network programmable thermostats from Controlled Air Systems (Booth 1060) conforms to lifestyles rather than events. It can initiate occupied and unoccupied modes automatically based upon motion and body heat within the environment. The Daikin Altherma from Daikin AC (Americas) Company (Booth 2710) is an air-to-water heat pump system that heats, produces domestic hot water, and cools spaces. The system is designed to provide a high-efficiency, year-round solution for the residential market. GALCO-CLIMALIFE (Booth 1720) Thermera® is a heat transfer fluid made of sugar beets. It can be used instead of glycol in heat pumps and cooling applications. It is a 100% biological product, environmentally friendly, nontoxic and nonflammable. OptimumHVAC software from Optimum Energy (Booth 1257) can reduce the energy used in large commercial buildings by 30% to 60%. It delivers its patented optimization algorithms via an appliance networked with the building’s BAS. Heating The Triple-Flex from Bryan Steam (Booth 3030) is a low NOx commercial hot water condensing boiler designed to provide ultra-high operating efficiency regardless of return water temperature from the building heating system loop. The ALPHA pump from Grundfos Pumps (Booth 3910) features the company’s AUTOADAPT function, which automatically balances optimum comfort with minimum power consumption at up to 80% efficiency. The Phoenix Evolution from Heat Transfer Products (Booth 3569) combines an indirect water heater and a boiler. It provides system isolation and hydraulic stabilization in low-temperature baseboard, radiant heating and hydro-air applications. The MATRIX integrated mechanical system from NTI-NY Thermal (Booth 2767) is a gas appliance that provides water VISIT AHR BOOTH 3659 D59078asjl_912166.indd 1 S18 www.info.hotims.com/27101-61 January 2010 11/17/09 1:39:15 PM
