INNOVATION AWARDS
INDOOR AIR QU ALIT Y WINNER BELIMO AMERIC AS
ROOM SENSOR (Booth B315)
INNOVATION: Belimo room sensors accurately measure temperature, humidity, dew point and CO2 with or
without an ePaper touch display. Integrated Near Field Communication provides easy fi eld adjustability, commissioning,
remote display capabilities and troubleshooting even without power. These sensors are maintenance-free
and provide long-term reliability for a comfortable room environment. Non-powered confi guration allows
customers to set these room sensors up before being installed in the fi eld, eliminating technician frustration as the
sensors can arrive on-site fully confi gured and ready to communicate. Select models off er BACnet, Modbus, or
MP-Bus, which enhances communication and reduces installation, cables and terminal connections.
FINALISTS: AirGreen (Booth C6102), Particles Plus, Inc. (Booth BC1808)
PLUMBING WINNER C ALEFFI HYDRONIC SOL UTIONS
CALEFFI 536 SERIES PRESCAL HP PISTON-TYPE PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE (Booth B3317)
INNOVATION: The only direct-acting pressure regulating valve in North America with true piston operation, the PresCal™ HP
family ensures stable, high-precision water pressure control while withstanding severe inlet pressure or punishing downstream water
hammer. It's perfect for staged pressure control or demanding applications that are fraught with extreme pressure fl uctuations. Being
the bridge between a building's water main and its distribution piping, a pressure reducing valve (PRV) experiences pressure
fl uctuations on both downstream and upstream sides. These fl uctuations can be of suffi cient magnitude to cause premature
fatiguing and failure of a rubber diaphragm design, the industry standard. The higher the incoming pressure, the more
severe the fl uctuations and their eff ects frequently are. This is because higher-pressure applications often involve
commercial buildings containing quick-acting devices. They are also interconnected with other similar buildings.
Controlling pressure reliably in such applications requires either a robustly designed PRV, a two-stage PRV arrangement, or
both. These are the demanding conditions the Caleffi PresCal HP family of PRVs is designed for. Instead of using a fl exible, rubber diaphragm
separating the high-pressure and low-pressure chambers inside the PRV, the PresCal HP uses a durable piston design. The high-range model serves as a
fi rst-stage PRV in a two-stage application. The low-range model serves as a second stage, or as a stand-alone PRV for punishing pressure spikes.
FINALISTS: EasyFit Isolator (Booth B145), Viega LLC (Booth B4027)
REFRIGERATION WINNER C OPEL AND ™ REFRIGERATION C OMPRESSORS
ZFW VARIABLE SPEED SCROLL SOLUTION FOR LOW-TEMPERATURE
REFRIGERATION APPLICATIONS (Booth B1839, B1849)
INNOVATION: The Copeland™ ZFW variable-speed scroll solution includes brushless permanent magnet motorbased
scrolls and variable frequency drives targeted for low-temperature, stationary refrigeration applications. The
variable-speed scroll provides better effi ciency, precision, fl exibility and reliability, while Copeland variable frequency
drives, EVM/EVH Series complement Emerson compressors and controls. It has double the capacity of a fi xed-speed
compressor of the same size while providing a 20% to 30% effi ciency improvement. With vapor injection technology
and a speed range of 1,000 rpm to 7,000 rpm, it off ers unparalleled levels of control, while reducing cycling rates and
greatly improving reliability. Optimized for use with new Copeland EVM variable frequency drives, the combination off ers
cutting-edge levels of performance. While intended for compression, EVM drives are also universally applicable for fans,
pumps and other electric motors. With Bluetooth capability, commissioning is more streamlined than ever. To optimize ease
of use, the Copeland EVM has been preconfi gured for Emerson controls (iPro, E2, E3, Site Supervisor) and can be integrated
universally with any controller. Available today with A1 refrigerants and moving toward A2L approval by 2024, the
platform off ers a robust design option for complying with current and future commercial refrigeration regulations.
FINALISTS: Danfoss (Booth B3231), MATELEX (Booth B3561)
