AAON
AAON chillers provide high efficiencies at full-load and part-load conditions, sources say. Variable capacity R-410A scroll compressors can modulate the total chiller capacity down to 5%. These compressors continuously adjust cooling capacity to maintain a precise leaving water temperature without the excess energy usage from compressor cycling. Aaon.com

Carrier
Carrier has enhanced its AquaSnap® 30RA air-cooled scroll chillers with non-ozone depleting Puron® refrigerant and expanded the range to 60 tons.
The enhanced AquaSnap chiller line offers over four percent improvement over previous models on full load efficiency and five percent on part load. In addition, the units exceed ASHRAE 90.1-2010 part load standards by more than 20%.
Designed as a direct replacement for existing hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerant-based legacy chillers, many key features were carried into the new design, including standard ComfortLink? controls, an optional hydronic package covering the entire product range, single-point power in all sizes, and an optional fluid loop storage tank.

CES Group
Mammoth-WEBCO, Inc. offers new Mammoth air- and evaporative-cooled chillers from 50 to 150 tons with an operating sound power rating as low as 60 dBA within five feet of the unit. Units are available up to 1000 tons, that have a similarly low sound power rating for their size. Units are ideal for sound sensitive applications, including hospitals, theaters and recording studios, as well as applications with demanding property line acoustic requirements, sources say.

Daikin
Daikin AC, Inc. introduces the VRV® III-C, designed especially for high efficiency heating in colder climates.
The heat pump's high energy efficiency (output up to three times over energy consumed) is maintained at low ambient temperatures. Adding to cold weather comfort are the system's rapid heat up times — eight minutes at 14°F — and short defrost maintenance cycles, allowing consistent and stable indoor comfort. Daikin.com

Greenheck
Greenheck's Vari-Green motor is a brushless DC (electronically commutated) high-efficiency motor that runs off a 115 volt single-phase input. The Vari-Green motor is capable of operating from 20% to 100% (80% turndown) of full speed versus 70% to 100% (30% turndown) for PSC motors. The motor is available in ¼, ½ and ¾ HP sizes and offers three different control options: 0-10 VDC input wiring, a motor-mounted dial, or a wall- mounted dial. Greenheck.com

Ruskin
Ruskin model EAMS060 is BACNet compatible, and utilizes a single mass flow sensor to achieve AMCA Certified ratings of + 3% down to 50 fpm.
The EAMS060 combines electronic air measuring with an ultra low leak, airfoil blade, control damper and actuator. The building automation system (BAS) sends a setpoint CFM to the controller and the factory commissioned actuator modulates to control to that setpoint. The output signal confirms the flow to the BAS. This damper saves energy with AMCA class 1 leakage, and meets the requirements of the IECC.

Samsung
Samsung introduces a new series of four-way ceiling cassettes. The CH series is comprised of three models: 24,000, 36,000, and 48,000 Btu/h. All models in the series offer a wide range of operating parameters because of Samsung's Smart Inverter technology. Technical innovations include: a 3-dimensional fan blade for an even and widespread flow of conditioned air; minimum overall height allows the unit to fit even the tightest of ceiling spaces; a fresh air intake and the ability to run a sub duct for cooling an adjacent, smaller space.

Sanyo
Sanyo introduces the CHDZ09053 heat recovery outdoor unit. The unit can be connected to as many as 17 indoor units. Every indoor unit can have its own thermostat to allow maximum comfort and to allow units to be turned off when the room is unoccupied.
The heat recovery unit allows each indoor unit to select the mode (heating or cooling) the occupant desires. The units can operate in heat mode while others are operating in cooling mode. When this happens, the overall system efficiency becomes more efficient as it absorbs heat from one zone (the cooling indoor units) and discharges that heat in to another zone (heating indoor units).
