GE Appliances plans to expand its U.S.-made air-conditioning and water-heating portfolio, increase output across all product lines, and further modernize its 11 U.S. manufacturing plants with new automation and capital equipment.
The industry-wide cooperative research program is intended to identify and evaluate promising alternative refrigerants that have a GWP of less than 300 for use in products such as air conditioners, heat pumps, and chillers.
“This award underscores our commitment to engineering products that not only meet the needs of today’s homeowners but also contribute to a more sustainable future,” said Olivier Vareille, president and CEO, Hydronics North America, at Carrier.
“The launch of the NWP500 Series perfectly reflects Navien’s ongoing commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility,” said TH Kim, CEO at Navien.
The roadshow will visit multiple locations across the U.S. and Canada over the next three months, providing HVAC professionals and industry leaders with opportunities to see Navien’s latest innovations in person.
Carrier's new air-to-water heat pump offers an advanced, sustainable solution for homeowners and builders seeking energy-efficient alternatives for home heating, cooling, and domestic hot water, a press release from the company said.
The Adapt Premium Condensing Gas Tankless Water Heater with X3 Scale Prevention Technology and the Voltex 120V Plug-In Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) both won in the Building and Architectural awards category.
The new heat-pump water heater is part of the shift from traditional water-heating methods to energy-efficient air-source technology, a press release from Midea said.
