AxAir Nortec said its Nortec On-Line is a two way interactive communications tool, designed to allow for up to five satellite contacts to monitor, maintain, and control a humidification center (up to eight units) from any location worldwide using standard Internet connections. Software shows graphic representations of the humidifier and its key parameters (up to 75 functions). It said one can control it from a remote location, as well as having the agent, building manager, or engineers at AxAir Nortec simultaneously monitor the same operations and data. Proactive data acquisition allows the system to suggest maintenance programs and recognize any problematic symptoms before there is any trouble, said the company. According to the manufacturer, e-mails are automatically sent to the linked parties if there is any sign of abnormal conditions, specifying the unit information and functional status.

LENNOX INDUSTRIES

www.lennox.com
Lennox said its whole-house Healthy Climate® humidifier, when added to a central comfort system, works to maintain correct moisture levels throughout a home. Unlike portable humidifiers that humidify a single room, a Healthy Climate humidifier is designed to add moisture as needed to circulate indoor air throughout the home, said Lennox. It uses the evaporative humidification process to introduce moisture in the form of water vapor. It said this process optimizes the distribution of moisture, helps prevent the build-up of minerals, bacteria, and mold, and minimizes the amount of maintenance required to achieve maximum comfort. The HCWP18 power humidifier has an 18-gallon per day capacity. It also has an EquaFlo™ distribution tray and a built-in fan to circulate humidified air. The HCWB17 and HCWB12 bypass humidifiers have 17-gallon and 12-gallon-per-day capacities, respectively.

Maytag said its iQ Drive™ system “affords homeowners improved indoor air quality and energy savings.” The system consists of a 23 SEER air conditioner, a 95.1 percent AFUE gas furnace, a condenser unit, and iQ Drive controls. Developed by Nordyne and Panasonic, the 23 SEER unit, with iQ Drive, is designed to utilize inverter rotary technology “to achieve the highest efficiency level currently available in the heating and cooling market,” said the company. The unit’s technology provides dehumidification and “total home comfort,” it said. Traditional compressors turn on and off but the iQ Drive inverter technology only slows down when the temperature setting is reached, it said. Additional features include a sound-absorbing base, swept fan blade, fixed upper bearing, and lower discharge and muffler. The new Maytag furnace provides two-stage heating and, as part of the iQ Drive System, the furnace operates with the air cleaner and humidifier.
