The IntelliPak™ I unitary rooftop systems in configurations from 20 to 130 tons are available. The redesigned system is a packaged rooftop unit that has energy efficiency ratings (EER) of 11; some IntelliPak I configurations exceed the EER of 11 and achieve as high as 14.2.
In addition to the 2012 Commercial Heating Showcase Product Grid, The NEWS spotlights the industry’s latest commercial heating products in this photo feature. The manufacturers provided the brief description of features included with each product.
A factory-installed option for Energence® 7.5- to 25-ton rooftop units, the MSAV® (multistage air volume) supply fan technology helps systems to reduce energy use while still meeting comfort requirements. The option allows the unit to lower airflow for a dramatic reduction of energy use in multiple modes of operation.
Packaged air conditioning solutions from Trane now feature a more rugged microchannel aluminum coil construction to increase reliability and sustainability. The more robust microchannel coil replaces copper and aluminum tube-and-fin condenser coils. The microchannel coils reduce refrigerant charge as much as 50 percent.
While it may cost a few more pennies initially, properly maintaining a rooftop unit will help ensure the device continues to provide peak performance, saving a consumer a collection of pennies in the long run. What could you be doing for your customer?
Over the last few decades, rooftop units have moved ahead with numerous technological advances. Both light (3- to 25-ton units) and large commercial packaged rooftop systems (25 tons and up) have matured in style and substance, now offering cleaner air, lower operating costs, more efficient performance, and more.
Boasting better efficiency, cleaner air, stronger structures, and more, the industry’s newest rooftop units (RTUs) and air handling units (AHUs) offer numerous benefits for both commercial and residential facilities.
U.S. commercial building owners could save an average of 38 percent on their heating and cooling bills if they installed a handful of controls to make their HVAC systems more energy efficient, according to a recent report.
