Superheat is probably the most talked about yet misunderstood technical term used by service technicians in the field. Superheat is a measured value. What can be done with it?
A number of manufacturers are greening their product offerings. Several of these manufacturers will be attending Greenbuild 2012. What will they bring to the show?
Today more and more systems are incorporating microprocessor controllers into their design. Troubleshooting the operation of these controllers can be a little tricky at times, but if broken down into sections it can be easier to handle.
The U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) 11th annual Greenbuild International Conference and Expo will take place Nov. 14-16 in San Francisco. What can be expected?
A second-generation hybrid solar water heating system, the ecoMax° integrates waste heat recovery, along with solar thermal, to produce free hot water for domestic and light commercial use. The controller means HVAC technicians can now tap into a second free heat source: waste heat recovery from a/c and refrigeration units.
The Luxaire® brand Acclimate™ packaged 2- to 5-ton dual-fuel heat pump features low nitrogen oxide (NOx) for reduced carbon emissions, R-410A refrigerant, standard louvered condenser coil protection, and easy power and control wiring connections for reduced installation time and costs.
Engineers design and contractors build. Fusing the best of both worlds is Jonathan F. Lazarus, founder, owner, and president of Eagle Air Conditioning Inc., a White Plains, N.Y.-based commercial HVAC contractor.

Designed to be an exact footprint replacement for a variety of manufacturers’ products, the THHP-Series space-constrained (formally known as through-the-wall) heat pumps are both AHRI certified and DOE compliant to meet the 12 SEER, R-410A requirements.
HVAC contractors and distributors have a special business relationship. As with any relationship, external circumstances have changed some of the relationship dynamics. What is it that contractors are looking for from their distributors and how are the distributors responding?
