ENERGY RECOVERY AT THE CUTTING EDGE The new SHRM system has arrived!
W
ithout a doubt the SHRM is one of those products that are fully geared to the needs of the future and offers an environmentally friendly, highly efficient solution for modern all-season air conditioning. The new 3-pipe SHRM system that was announced in the spring has now arrived in our warehouse and is available for immediate delivery. When it comes to demanding indoor climate control under a range of spatial and construction conditions, this product line is one of the most flexible and efficient solutions. A particular feature of this system is the special control box with solenoid valve control, allowing simultaneous cooling and heating operation with only one cooling circuit. The system has the ability to independently determine (AUTO MODE) which mode is needed for each room or area so that the control box implements a flexible and highly efficient switching between the pressure, suction and hot gas lines. This allows heat in one building zone to be transferred to another, where heating is required and vice versa, without the unit expending energy itself. The greatest benefit is the very high efficiency, which
4-way cassettes take care for comfortable shopping at kika ultimately leads to very cost effective control of temperature in various industrial applications.
Editorial CHRISTMAS IS COMING and the time of peace is upon us. The aroma of the first homemade ginger biscuits wafts in from the kitchen and in every direction you look your eye lights on the glitter and dazzle of vibrant Christmas decorations. Christmas can be a wonderful time. It is one that we in the sales department particularly find pleasant, as we make our seasonal calls on business customers and partners, to thank them for their cooperation and to chance a sneak preview at what lies ahead for next year. Needless to say, planning for the next season is well under way and a number of new ideas are already waiting in the wings for 2013. Although we have clear objectives in mind we know it is only through close cooperation with you, as our customer, that these goals can be implemented. And last year we have been very pleased with the results, which give us great motivation and energy for the coming season and a renewed zest to start the New Year.
Clever use of waste heat A perfect example of this innovative technology is the system for the kika furniture store in Klagenfurt, recently installed by MIWAS Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology in Bruck. The investment in this cutting edge heating concept is part of a total refurbishment made over several months. The system uses heat from the lighting department as a heat energy source and spreads it out across the complete first floor via the cassette type 3-phase VRF system. This allows approximately 200 kW of waste heat to provide a very high proportion of the energy needed to heat an area of about 5,500 m2 in monovalent mode.
May we, therefore, wish you a very Merry Christmas, a relaxing holiday break and a very successful New Year!
With Best Regards Jürgen Unterrainer
