Following a successful field trial with Amazon, the company’s rooftop technology highlights how manufacturers are rethinking humidity control and energy efficiency
Newly deployed technology rethinks how commercial air conditioning systems handle humidity — and uses novel materials to develop advanced heat pump systems that dehumidify, cool or heat air.
Once seen as a simple workhorse, rooftop units are becoming intelligent building assets — changing how contractors install, commission, and service commercial HVAC systems.
All Bosch RTUs are designed, engineered and assembled in the USA and feature R-454B A2L refrigerant in alignment with low global warming potential (GWP) industry guidelines.
In this video, Ben Kromer, HVACR service manager at Rolls Mechanical, talks about some smaller steps and some bigger measures that can maximize efficiency with RTUs.
"This achievement reflects the work of our talented engineering and product development teams, who delivered a solution that reduces energy intensity and operating costs while helping strengthen U.S. competitiveness in commercial buildings,” said Heidi Gehring, managing director of the Americas light commercial division at Carrier HVAC.
The Rheem Renaissance RACCYC and RGECYC units have industry-standard footprints, common piping and electrical connections, field-convertible airflow, and minimized weight.
