Water chillers are nothing new, with nearly an estimated 100,000 units operating in North America alone. Chillers are the cooling machines of choice to condition industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. They are used to lower the temperatures of all kinds of equipment and processes such as: robotic machinery; semiconductors; injection and blow molding machines; welding equipment; die-casting and machine tooling; paper and cement processing; power supplies; power generation stations; compressed air and gas cooling systems; medical imaging machines; chemical, drug, food and beverage production; even simply to cool potable water to desirable levels. Whether for office comfort, keeping data server centers from overheating, or specialized industrial processes, water temperature control plays a vital role in many of the behind-the-scenes activities that affect our everyday lives.

Air Balancing Success Story
The Series SAH SMART Air Hood® balancing instrument looks different than traditional air hoods, but that’s because it’s solving balancers’ problems in a new way. Take, for example, some feedback we received from Ken (a TAB technician) earlier this year.
Small, highly maneuverable air hood
Ken was measuring standard 2’ x 2’ diffusers with our SMART Air Hood® balancing instrument and the new app. While taking measurements, he ran into an area with very little clearance. Continue reading “Air Balancing Success Story”
Moisture Control for Indoor Air Quality
As buildings continue to become more and more energy efficient, we continue to see updates and recommendations to building designs. For example, ASHRAE recently published an update to Standard 62.1 Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality that covers changes to how we monitor and control humidity in occupied spaces.

Ensuring HVAC System Safety for Reopening Schools & Office Buildings
The current COVID-19 pandemic spread and breadth is unprecedented. Because of this, it is important that precautions are taken when reopening schools and office buildings. The question we find ourselves asking as professionals in the HVAC trade is this:
How do you return the HVAC system back to normal operations (and continued operations) during this pandemic? Continue reading “Ensuring HVAC System Safety for Reopening Schools & Office Buildings”
