A/C ROUNDUP Air Conditioning Equipment Roundup A listing of available products in the air conditioning field TRANE XL20I AIR CONDITIONER For the top of the line in cool comfort, look no fur- ther than the XL20i. It’s among the industry’s most efficient air conditioners available.When matched with a variable speed indoor unit from Trane, the XL20i has another special feature. It’s a method of enhancing airflow that we call Comfort-R™ and it gives you greater humidity control in cooling. This is accomplished by running the fan at a slower speed during start-up. Comfort-R™ also provides warmer air dur- ing heating start-up.These managed cycles reduce temperature variances for the opti- mum in home comfort. Trane – www.trane.com PREVENT ACID BUILD UP AND COMPRESSOR BURNOUT Technicians can now add the exact amount of acid scavenging solu- tion—without wasting a drop—by using the new AB-400CS ACID- BUSTER™ Injection Kit from Spectronics Corporation.ACID-BUSTER is designed to bond with acids without forming chemical by-products and prevents acid build-up in medium to large air conditioning and refrig- eration systems.The ACID-BUSTER injector is easy to use. It requires only one connection to add acid scavenging into the system. The injector easily overcomes system pressure— even on high-pressure R-410a systems. The solution is compatible with all refrigerants and lubricants,works fast and circulates quickly 30 without harming system components. The cartridge is calibrated to provide precise dos- ing for multiple systems.It is prefilled,so there are no messy spills or wasted solution.In addi- tion to the AB-4CS cartridge and injector, this kit includes a hose assembly with check valve and 1 ⁄4 inch flare low-loss fitting that comes in a handy clamshell package. Spectronics Corporation www.spectroline.com YORK’S AFFINITY SERIES The Affinity Series is the premier York line of residential central air conditioning units. Affinity Air Conditioners are engineered from the ground up and molded by modern design aesthetics.All Affinity Air Conditioners deliver energy-efficient performance, reduced noise and constant comfort. Affinity models can provide up to dou- ble the efficiency of older models.The more efficient the system, the less energy it uses, which results in lower costs.Affinity mod- els surpass the federal government’s 13 Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) with models that achieve up to an 18 SEER. York Heating and Air Conditioning www.yorkupg.com PERFORMER VSD FROM DANFOSS COMBINES SCROLL TECHNOLOGY AND A VARIABLE-FREQUENCY DRIVE Danfoss,a leading manufacturer of high-effi- ciency electronic and mechanical components and controls for air-condition- ing, heating, refrigeration and motion systems, introduces the Performer® VSD, a variable-speed compressor designed for the residential market that integrates power elec- APRIL 2011 | FUEL OIL NEWS | www.fueloilnews.com tronics, scroll technology and advanced soft- ware.The Performer VSD mates the first high-capacity scroll compressor for R-410A refrigerant with a variable-frequency drive to deliver exactly the capacity required for cool- ing every minute of the day, setting a new performance standard.With a delivered capacity range from 3 to 5 tons,the compres- sor solves the problem of wasted energy at partial load,achieving energy savings that can exceed 20 percent. Ideal for all climate zones, the Performer VSD offers exact temperature control with +/-0.2F.Comfort is further enhanced by the unit’s low vibration levels and quiet operation,with virtually no cycling noise at night.The Performer VSD debuts a new motor design – the internal permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPM), which offers efficiency up to 95 percent.
