June | July 2021 PRODUCTS & SERVICES 44 Volume 7 No.4 The Innovation Zone DELIVERING ENERGY AND MONETARY SAVINGS The EsseCI SCADR01 is a patented PTC cartridge resistor controller that reduces the energy consumption of refrigeration units by 25-30 per cent compared with traditional cartridge resistor systems used to evaporate defrost water in refrigerated counters. This intelligent device is focused on saving energy consumption, as its adaptive capacity means it only activates based on the presence of water in the condensate pan, thus greatly reducing the energy consumption when the pan is empty. The SCADR01 is available in two dierent versions: · A stand-alone space-saving controller, targeted at OEMs of PTC cartridge resistors, which can also be retrospectively installed into all types of refrigerated counters with a condensate pan using a PTC cartridge resistor. · In an EsseCI electronic thermostat with a standard 32 x 74mm case for OEMs of refrigerated counters, which adds the function of a PTC cartridge resistor control to the standard outputs of compressor, defrost and fan, all in one device and ideal for incorporation in new OEM refrigerated counter applications. Both versions give an immediate reduction in wasted energy, cost savings to the end user and a greater respect for the environment.

TRANE UPGRADES FLEX20 RANGE Trane has announced the latest upgrades in its Flex2O range of scroll water-cooled chillers and water source heat pumps. The Flex2O units, designed to provide year-round comfort and process cooling and/or heating eciency within a small footprint, are now available in up to 700kW of capacity from a single unit and feature the new Trane Symbio 800 controller for building automation and connectivity. The compact, modular design oers scalability and flexibility of configuration allowing to combine up to six units to meet the building’s capacity and performance requirements. With the increased capacity by the single Flex2O unit, building owners and facility managers can adapt their system’s capacity to the changing heating and cooling demand throughout the lifespan of the building. https://www.trane.com/commercial/europe.html HAIER UNVEILS PEARL LINE-UP Haier has launched a new range of air conditioning units which are said to oer greater protection against airborne health hazards. The Pearl units also feature self-clean technology and come with an in-built wi-fi module giving flexibility and control. The Pearl range features Haier’s newly-certified UVC Generator which has proven to be eective in inhibiting the Covid-19 virus with a 99.998 per cent eciency. The UVC Generator is a small device installed on the evaporator inside the indoor unit. It generates UVC rays near the air inlet when the function is turned on which instantly inhibits the airborne hazards when the air passes through the area exposed to UVC rays, delivering healthy air to the user. Haier HVAC Solutions European general manager Bob Cowlard said: “The Pearl range provides the ultimate comfort for your home and oce, and it looks superb. Haier understands how important clean air is to our health. The Pearl range includes new market-leading technology that can protect against hazards in the air. ‘’ https://www.haierhvac.eu/en
