A/C ROUNDUP MOVINCOOL SPOT AIR CONDITIONERS NOW USE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY R-410A REFRIGERANT MovinCool® announced that it has upgraded all models in its Office Pro® and Classic Plus lines of portable spot air conditioners,as well as its latest ceiling-mounted CM12 model,to use the environmentally friendly refrigerant R- 410A.Unlike hydrochlorofluorcarbon-based refrigerants such as R22 (Freon),R-410A does not contain greenhouse gases,which contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer.MovinCool’s portable spot air conditioners provide emer- gency,supplemental and seasonal cooling and moisture removal for a wide variety of appli- cations, including server and telecom rooms, data centers,offices,warehouses,assembly lines, manufacturing processes and outdoor events. In addition,MovinCool’s ultracompact,ceil- ing-mounted CM12 spot air conditioner offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for appli- cations where space is at a premium,such as server and telecom closets. DENSO Corp. – www.movincool.com CLEAN & PROTECT BOILERS A clean boiler is more efficient and lasts longer. Hydronic formula #5 from Silver King Mfg. is scientifically formulated to clean and protect boilers and hydronic- heating systems.Hydronic #5 prevents formulation of insulating scale on heat- transfer surfaces; keeps dissolved solids in solution; frees and lubricates stuck zone valves; dissolves insulating sludge on tankless coils; prevents corrosion; protects and lubricates pump seals; is safe to use in all boilers; and is compat- ible with both ethylene glycol and propylene glycol antifreeze. FUJITSU INTRODUCES 26 SEER HALCYON INVERTER MINI-SPLIT LINE Fujitsu General America, Inc.has intro- duced 25 and 26 SEER ductless split systems to the North American market, now the most efficient mini-splits available today. The new 9,000 BTU model provides 26 SEER with an HSPF of 12. The 12,000 BTU system offers 25 SEER with 12 HSPF.Both of the inverter wall-mount sys- tems are available as split system heat pumps, and offer super-quiet operation and nearly full heating capacity down to 5°F ambient and cooling operation down to 14°F. Refrigerant pipe lengths can reach 66 feet between the evaporator coil and the con- densing unit. These units are available with these capabilities right off the shelf with no modifications needed for low ambient oper- ation. There is no need to add a crank case heater, fan cycle control or larger suction accumulator to protect the compressor; these are already built-in. Fujitsu’s 2009 Halcyon lineup includes 21 single zone systems with capacity ranges of 9,000 to 42,000 BTUs.

Payback to clients is rapid; residential appli- cations usually get one simple panel-mounted system within inches of their electric panel that takes minutes to install. Larger commercial and industrial units may need a precisely sized unit for each motor to optimize our clients’ return on investment. Units have a five year warranty, life expectancy is 25 years. Great Valley Green Energy BARD HAC SPLIT AIR CONDITIONER Bard Mfg.Co. has cre- ated the HAC series split air conditioner. The HAC is designed to provide reliability, effi- ciency and quiet operation.Features include a horizontal air discharge design for installa- tion flexibility and quietness. Its slim design and minimal clearance requirements make the HAC ideal for decks, balconies, rooftops and more.When multiple units are required, the HAC can easily be stacked.Additional fea- tures include heavy-gauge, zinc-coated, galvanized-steel cabinets to provide protec- tion from adverse weather, large heat exchanger coils constructed of grooved cop- per tubing and louvered aluminum fins for long life and more efficient heat transfer.Large fan blades provide maximum airflow at low operating costs and very quiet operation.
