The 2003 Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo) provided attendees with the opportunity to see several new developments from humidification and dehumidification manufacturers.
In 1992, Advanced Distributor Products (ADP) began manufacturing coils in a section of the Heatcraft OEM coil facility. In 1996, the company moved into a new 325,000-square-foot facility, followed by a 54,000-square-foot addition. One of its coils is the brand-new Healthy Solutions Premium Evaporator Coil.
Manufacturers are beginning to market their portable air conditioning units as more than just a solution for temporary and emergency cooling. Many of the products on display at the AHR Expo were sporting new looks and recent upgrades, and manufacturers were supplying new reasons to use the products in primary applications.
Parker Hannifin Corporation used this year’s Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo) as a platform to announce several new product offerings.
During a press briefing at the 2003 AHR Expo, Danfoss noted a wide range of its product developments, including solar hermetic compressors, small hermetics for commercial applications, bimetal valve connections, zone control panel applications, thermostats, and drive technology.
Is there something else contractors should do besides clean the coils to improve their performance? Are there other steps that can be taken? We’re glad you asked, because several experts offered their opinions concerning what contractors can do to optimize coil performance.
After McCormick Place closed its doors at the conclusion of opening day of the 2003 AHR Expo, Carrier Corporation opened its doors at the nearby Four Seasons Hotel to host a gathering for its customers.
Manufacturers purposely design condenser and evaporator coils to work together in order to provide the best possible cooling for an application. So why would anyone consider replacing one coil and not the other? Why would anyone be tempted to oversize or undersize one component when the other isn’t designed for that capacity?
Last year, ASHRAE released a report on environmental and building security in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. This year, the report was revisited during the 2003 Winter Meeting in Chicago. According to ASHRAE, additions have been made to help ensure building safety.
