Mark Neely (left) examines the Humidifall, which is a water filter, humidifier and air filter wrapped in one. is controlled by its own space thermostat and a modulating zone damper. http://tinyurl.com/7c4uwwn Modular Framing offers thermal break dampers that are manufactured using the company’s aluminum frame and internally housed gear system with thermal break qualities. http:// tinyurl.com/892f2sc Panasonic introduces the WhisperSupply-Wall fans, designed to meet ASHRAE 62.2 requirements for makeup/supply air. The product takes air from the outside and filters it through a MERV 8 filter to supply clean air to the home. It uses an interior deflector to push airflow up and around the walls to avoid drafts. Rosenberg USA announces its electronically commutated (EC) fans with Modbus controls. The fans are available in axial and backward curved radial configurations. The EC fans are designed for use in forced air heaters, heat pumps, condensers, cooling units, evaporators, electronics cooling, air handling and HVAC systems. http://tinyurl.com/6w278ne Schebler Chimney Systems offers WingFan draft inducers for boilers and hot water applications. The simple draft induction fan helps achieve proper draft by drawing high-temperature flue or process gases out of appliances, and, in some cases, initiating a flow of gas during the warm-up phase. WingFan is a helpful option for applications where adequate natural draft is not available. http://tinyurl.com/7b3zz2y Titus HVAC offers a new, solar-capable entry in its Plexicon line of displacement ventilation systems. The solar Plexicon uses a wireless energy harvesting process to power the unit. With the ability to both heat and cool from the same diffuser assembly, it reduces cost and eases design and installation. The solar Plexicon can harvest both sunlight and ambient room light. http://tinyurl.com/7arpks7 Kinetics Noise Control’s QuakeLoc seismic cable restraint system seismically restrains piping, ductwork, suspended equipment and electrical systems. http://tinyurl.com/7avhf8k

Harsco Industrial Patterson-Kelley announces custom designed pre-engineered packaged systems. Systems can include

MACH® boilers, DURATION® exchangers, and tanks with a single point electrical connection. http://tinyurl.com/7vswdwt Hurst Boiler & Welding announces the FIREMaster monitoring system that controls boiler operations including makeup water consumption, steam flow and condensate return. http:// tinyurl.com/7l5kuz7 KUSOLAR offers SKY CPC 58 solar collectors for forced circulation hot water heating systems. They are made from a series of borosilicate glass pipes with double walling, welded at the end. A vacuum is induced between the two glass walls, and the internal wall is coated with a recycled multilayer metallic selective material, maximizing the absorption of the sun’s energy. http://tinyurl.com/88ay7o2 Lochinvar offers the Armor X2 condensing water heater for commercial applications. The Armor X2 combines stainless steel heat exchanger technology with modulating/condensing combustion to deliver thermal efficiencies as high as 96%. It features two independent combustion systems as well as a full-color, touchscreen control panel. http://tinyurl.com/6uqtslg The M&G DuraVent’s PolyPro® is a 100% recyclable, engineered venting system. It is designed for Category II and IV gas burning appliances, including tankless and storage water heaters, high-efficiency water heaters, condensing boilers and warm-air furnaces. http://tinyurl.com/8abtxd5 The CBEX Elite firetube system from Cleaver-Brooks achieves high fuel efficiency and low emissions by maintaining 3% oxygen across the full operating range. http://tinyurl. com/7lacxj7 The Creek condensing boiler from Superior Boiler Works is available in a variety of sizes. It operates at efficiencies as high as 98% and can be configured to minimize NOX emissions. http://tinyurl.com/6mfuf22 The Fulton Companies’s Caliber™ boiler is a condensing, lightweight commercial hydronic boiler with ultra-low emissions of carbon monoxide and NOX. The product line features a high quality, full stainless heat exchanger suitable for hydronic heating. http://tinyurl.com/7zb583o Features of the Re-Verber-Ray® QT Series from Detroit Radiant Products include a multi-burner and multi-exchanger platform that is available in both single- and dual-stage operation. It is suitable for comfort or spot heating applications. http:// tinyurl.com/7qb33bf Jaga Climate Systems introduces the Briza radiator. It measures only 4.5 in. (114 mm) deep and generates as much heat as traditional fan-coils while operating more quietly and efficiently. http://tinyurl.com/7szz687 The in-floor Micro Canal radiator from Jaga Climate Systems is only 6 in. (152 mm) high and 13 in. (330 mm) wide. The radiator generates a substantial heat output while remaining ultra-responsive to changing temperatures. The advanced trench-heating unit saves energy with its Low-H2O technology, and an advanced height adjustment system allows the product’s grilles to be aligned perfectly with the floor. http://tinyurl. com/84xj6xn
