Space-Ray Heaters Have Innovative Safety Feature

A line of positive-pressure, lowintensity infrared tube heaters has been introduced by Space-Ray with a patent-pending Innovative Tube Integrity Safety System (TISS) that provides additional safety for building owners. Available in both natural and propane gas, the new PTS/PTU Series Tube Heaters use positive pressure to push products of combustion through the heavy-duty calorized aluminized or alumatherm steel combustion chamber. The heat exchangers are available in heavy-duty hot-rolled steel or as an ALC option in calorized aluminized steel for high humidity/corrosive environments. The heaters come with a choice of one-stage or two-stage input controls for added flexibility and a totally enclosed burner box that places all the power, thermostat and gas connections in one central location for easier installation and maintenance.

“ElectroFin Insitu® (Insitu means in place or on site.) is a spray-on corrosion-resistance product that is waterbased and synthetic. It was specifically developed for use on heat-transfer coils and unit cabinetry and is available from Luvata ElectroFin. Despite the operational and energy cost savings of factory- applied e-coat coil coating over an on-site application, clients of engineers and architects have resisted sending units to a regional factory for coating because they often cannot afford the down-time for factory-applied coatings from the OEM. ElectroFin Insitu was created for these time-constrained users who still need corrosion protection for HVACR coils and cabinets. For more information, see http://www.electrofin.com.%20

Danfoss announced results from extensive laboratory and field testing that demonstrates that its Apexx™ VSH variable-speed scroll compressors exhibit high energy efficiency throughout their speed range.

Apexx is the world’s first high-capacity R-410A variable-speed scroll offering for commercial-cooling applications and heat pumps from 12 to 40 TR (tons of refrigeration) design capacity. Higher capacities can be obtained by combining an Apexx compressor with one or more fixed-speed compressors, either manifolded or in multiple circuits. For more information, see www.danfoss.us.

Westinghouse has upgraded its 13-SEER small packaged horizontal air conditioners from R-22 to non-ozonedepleting R-410A.
