AHR EXPO HIGHLIGHTS Gas Association (AGA), the Canadian Gas Association (CSA) and CE to the latest standard, EN 298:2003. Additionally the Series is recognized under the UL component program, UL 372. The controls can be seamlessly integrated into gas-fired appliances such as HVAC, boilers, commercial cooking equipment, radiant/infrared heaters and furnaces for installation in North America, Europe or Australia. The Series includes a standard direct spark ignition control (35-60), a direct spark ignition control with combustion blower relay (35-61) and intermittent pilot/ spark-to-pilot control (35-63). Enter 316 Or email: teresa.carroll@kidde-fenwal.com It is assembled, wired, evacuated, charged and run-tested at the factory. The refrigerant charge is only 36 to 40 ounces or 10 to 15 percent of the charge found in a typical split system. It is available in high temperature with air defrost, medium temperature with electric defrost and low temperature with electric defrost. The unit is charged with R-404A refrigerant and feature PSC motors standard on both the condensing unit and evaporator sections, with EC motors as an option on the evaporator section to meet certain energy regulations. ICM Controls Corp. Hallowell International The Acadia is a combined heating and cooling system. The next generation heat pump features the Opti-Cycle booster that enables the Acadia to run efficiently in temperatures as cold as -30 DegF. The system includes: an indoor unit, an outdoor unit, thermostat; Twin-Single Technology from Bristol Compressors; four-stage heating, twostage cooling; acoustically isolated compressor compartment; and a low-noise, high efficiency outdoor fan. The SimpleComfort “V-Line” family of thermostats now includes four new non-programmable models, the SC1001V, SC2000VL, SC2001VL and SC2201VL. All of the thermostats are protected by the company’s thermal intrusion barrier. The SC1001V is a low-cost, single set point, analog heat/cool thermostat, featuring a slide-bar for temperature control. The SC2000VL (battery) and SC2001VL (hardwired) are single-stage heat/cool thermostats that include a backlit LCD display with soft-touch controls. The SC2201VL also features a backlit LCD display, soft-touch controls, and is specifically designed for heat-pump systems. All models are manual changeover. Additionally, the SC2000VL is Millivolt compatible, includes a low battery indicator, and offers freeze protection. The SC2201VL features two status LEDs and an emergency heat mode. Heatcraft Refrigeration Products The PRO3 Packaged Refrigeration System product family now includes a Side Mount Packaged Refrigeration System. These units combine a condensing unit and evaporator into one commercial refrigeration solution. www.applianceDESIGN.com Johnson Controls The newly introduced 33-inch Yorkbranded gas furnaces are the smallest in the industry; it is the first fully modulating 80 percent product offering featuring integrated control, the company says.
