Replacing manual parts with electronic was the theme at Sanhua’s booth at the AHR Expo.
“Systems are becoming more and more sophisticated, and while yesterday’s systems were mostly mechanical, everything's starting to shift into the electrical realm,” said Michael Smith, director of marketing and communication at Sanhua. “It’s only going to continue. So there will still be a market for the mechanical ball valves, TXVs, those kinds of things. But as systems become more and more sophisticated, they're all going to require electronic sensors and valves and controls. That’s driving a lot of our development.”
