CHICAGO - Bigger and better mousetraps? Maybe not, but makers of blowers, drives, and motors had a lot of new products to share with attendees of the 2006 International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo). Here is a sampling of some of the products they learned about.
ABB Inc. (www.abb-drives.com) added two smaller drives to what the company calls "the most complete line on the market." The ACS Series now includes the ACS150 component drive and ACS350 machinery drive models. The ½ to 10 hp drives are ideal for HVAC applications such as pumps, fans, and compressors. The 150 is programmable in seconds and the 350 has a full text display with a help key.
