  • Mergers, Acquisitions, Name Changes
    MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS, NAME CHANGES 575 Mergers, Acquisitions, Name Changes Looking for a manufacturing company that doesn’t seem to be listed in this 2009 Directory Issue? If you can’t find it in the Manufacturers Alphabetic Listings, then one of several things may have happened. The company could have dropped out of the hvacr industry — ceased to operate altogether, or just stopped making hvacr products; or the company may have changed owners and it is now a part of another corpo- rate identity. In either case, this listing may help. Following are the names of hundreds of manufacturers and their brand names that were found in previous editions of the Directory Issue. Many of these companies continue to exist, but are now known under different names. To find the new identity, just look up the old name in this alphabetic listing. If no information is available, we simply provide the last year the company was listed in the Directory Issue. This listing represents our best efforts at tracking the manufacturer-members of the hvacr community. If we have erred or provided incomplete information, we apologize and hope that you will set us straight. Contact The News Editorial Department at P.O. Box 2600, Troy, Mich. 48007. A Adelta Mfg Co., Inc., Philadelphia AAF-McQuay Inc., Dallas Last listed in 1971.

  • Proposed Rule: Protection of Stratospheric Ozone
    The EPA Administrator, Gina McCarthy, signed the following proposed rule on October 15, 2015, and EPA is submitting it for publication in the Federal Register (FR). While we have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this Internet version of the rule, it is not the official version of the rule for purposes of public comment. Please refer to the official version in a forthcoming FR publication, which will appear on the Government Printing Office's FDsys website (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/search/home.action) and on Regulations.gov (http://www.regulations.gov) in Docket No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2015-0453. Once the official version of this document is published in the FR, this version will be removed from the Internet and replaced with a link to the official version. This document is a prepublication version, signed by the EPA Administrator, Gina McCarthy, on October 15, 2015. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version. 6560-50-P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 82 [EPA-HQ-OAR-2015-0453; FRL-9933-48-OAR] RIN: 2060-AS51 Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Update to the Refrigerant Management Requirements under the Clean Air Act AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: The Clean Air Act prohibits the knowing release of ozone-depleting and substitute refrigerants during the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of appliances or industrial process refrigeration. The existing regulations require that persons servicing or disposing of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment observe certain service practices that reduce emissions of ozone-depleting refrigerant.

  • Geyser C-Series 2019
    Geyser C-Series 2019 The Nyle Systems Geyser C-Series product line is a High Efficiency Air-to-Water or Water-to Water Heat Pump Water Heating System. Heat Pump Water Heaters provide the most efficient way to heat water , drawing energy from the ambient air or available source water and thereby saving up to 75% in costs when compared to electric water heaters. Upon using the air source models, air surrounding the C-Series is cooled and dehumidified, which can be ducted to an alternate location, while heating potable water. In utilizing the water source models, we are cooling source water on one side while heating potable water on the other. We are reducing air conditioning load as well as reducing heating costs. The C-Series are designed and manufactured in our state How does the GEYSER C-Series work? of the art facility located in Brewer, Maine. These units use various options to meet your application needs. They are The Geyser Heat Pump Water Heater captures heat and suitable for drinking water applications with the standard humidity from the surrounding air, or heat from source double wall heat exchanger. water, and transfers that heat energy into a storage tank. In basic terms, Heat Pump Water Heaters move Energy Efficiency heat from where it is not needed, to where it is desired. Performance is expressed in Coefficient of Performance The Geyser C-Series provides low cost water heating (COP). In typical installations, the Geyser C-Series and supplemental cooling that can be directed where achieve COP’s ranging from 3-5.

  • HFC Proposed Second 15-Day Changes Notice
    State of California Air Resources Board Second Notice of Public Availability of Modified Text and Availability of Additional Documents Proposed Amendments to the Prohibitions on Use of Certain Hydrofluorocarbons in Stationary Refrigeration, Chillers, Aerosols-Propellants, and Foam End-Uses Regulation Public Hearing Date: December 10, 2020 Public Availability Date: August 3, 2021 Deadline for Public Comment: August 18, 2021 At its December 10, 2020, public hearing, the California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) approved for adoption the proposed amendments to sections 95371, 95372, 95373, 95374, 95375, 95376, 95377, 95378, and added section 95379 Article 4, Subarticle 5, Chapter 1, Division 3, Title 17, California Code of Regulations, which prohibits certain substances in refrigeration, air-conditioning (AC), chillers, cold storage, aerosols-propellants, and foam end-uses to reduce high-global warming hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) emissions and support California’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals. In Resolution 20-37, the Board recognized the importance of near-term actions to reduce GHGs, including HFCs, by ensuring successful and orderly transition to lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, which is necessary to reduce the impacts of climate change, and meet California’s legal mandate to reduce HFC emissions by 40 percent below 2013 levels by 2030, as identified in section 39730.5 of the Health and Safety Code. The Board, therefore, approved the adoption of the proposed amendments and found that an additional compliance pathway for AC manufacturers was appropriate.1 The Board directed the Executive Officer to determine if additional conforming modifications to the regulation were appropriate and to make any proposed modified regulatory language available for public comment, with any additional supporting 1 See State of California, Air Resources Board, Board Hearing Transcript, December 10, 2020.

  • Low Pressure Refrigerant Reclamation Systems
    http://www.siqinc.com/hvacr-manufacturing/refrigerant-reclamation/low-pressure-refrigerant-reclamation-systems/ PG 1 of 1 Low Pressure Refrigerant Reclamation Systems This system addresses the needs of commercial system manufacturers looking to reclaim the large volume, low pressure refrigerant charges from their chillers and roof top products. Our turnkey system initiates the process with an inlet tank to consolidate and convert refrigerant into vapor phase. Refrigerant then flows to the automatic processing station that removes particulates, oil, non condensible gasses and moisture. Refrigerant is processed to reclaimed quality specifications before being pumped to the storage tank for testing and re-use. The world’s largest chiller and commercial HVAC system manufacturers depend on this system to reclaim their low pressure refrigerant charges from repair areas, test areas, and laboratory units. Low Pressure Reclaimed Inlet Evaporator Tank Product Detail Refrigerant Holding Tank STANDARD FEATURES: PRODUCT OPTIONS: DIMENSIONS: • Automatic operation • Back-up compressor 74″H x 60”W x 72”D • Refrigerant reclamation to ARI-700 • Air cooled or water cooled condensing unit UTILITY REQUIREMENTS: • Pressure blower for compression of refrigerant • Process R-11, HCFO-1233ZD, or other Electric: 480V, 3Ø, 60A low pressure refrigerants • Oil separation and automatic drain Air: 100 psig shop air • Scalable for various recovery rates • High capacity desiccant driers Water: City water or chilled water supply • Reclaimed refrigerant moisture indicator (water-cooled systems only) • Automatic air/non-condensable removal • Onboard, electric transfer pump • Allen Bradley PLC control and Operator Interface • Warning light fault indicator • Panel mounted hour meter • Reclaimed refrigerant totalizing meter Serv-I-Quip, Inc.
