Designed for commercial and residential use, the CopperWatcher™ air conditioning alarm system monitors the two vulnerable components of an air conditioning system: voltage and refrigerant pressure. 

Variable-frequency drives (VFDs), also known as inverters, are widely used because they save energy, especially in applications with variable-torque loads. 

With the compressor being such a critical element to a system, proper maintenance and repair becomes crucial to compressor and system longevity. But, equally important is correctly diagnosing the problem, ensuring that the problem lies with the compressor.

While various aspects of HVACR technology seem to be lagging behind, compressors are keeping pace. And, of all the compressors being introduced, manufacturers are ensuring new offerings meet demands, operate intelligently, and, perhaps most importantly, perform efficiently.

The emergence of oil-free compressors is offering manufacturers the ability to greatly reduce energy consumption, making them a viable solution in the commercial development sector.

The SlideLOK’s™ rigid coupling design allows for fast, easy, and safe installation, the company said. 

The Platinum belt by Megadyne is a high-performance rubber-based synchronous belt with duel core hybrid cord technology capable of handling the most demanding drives, said the company.
