Bosch Power Tools’ new CORE18V 12.0 Ah battery is a new addition to Bosch’s flagship CORE18V battery platform. Due to its size and weight, the battery is designed to exclusively mount on PROFACTOR tools in North America.
Emerson’s SureSwitch contactor, initially designed for air conditioning applications, has now been designed with expanded coil voltage to now extend to refrigeration replacements, ranging from 24 volts to 240 volts to also accommodate applications such as walk-in, reachin coolers and beverage machines.
Fantech’s new ECO-Touch Auto IAQ controller recognizes elevated VOCs in the home, such as from cooking, cleaning and perfume, and automatically ramps up ventilation rates to bring more fresh air inside while removing stale air to the outdoors. It also monitors relative humidity and will recognize an influx of moisture, such as that generated by a large family gathering, and adjust fresh air intake accordingly.
Fujitsu General America has introduced two larger Refrigerant Branch Units (RBU) to simplify installations and to expand the heat recovery capability of their VR-II Series Airstage VRF systems.
The PROFACTOR tool and 12.0 Ah battery pairing is ideal for extended runtime applications. The 12.0 Ah battery is part of CORE18V family of batteries that are equipped with advanced cell technology, cutting edge design and Bosch-exclusive Coolpack 2.0 technology for extended battery lifetime. >> core18v.boschtools.com/profactor/
SureSwitch features a microprocessor-controlled switching design to eliminate contact pitting and welding, which prevents buildup and can result in more than one milion cycles, proven through testing, when installed and used correctly to extend the life of the product. >> climate.emerson.com
ECO-Touch IAQ offers set-it-and-forget-it operation, adjusting fresh air rates based on VOCs to operate with optimal energy efficiency. >> fantech.net
The new RBUs, which manage simultaneous heating and cooling in heat recovery systems, can serve between eight and 12 zones. Previously, only four zones could be served by a single RBU. This advancement permits engineers, architects and installers to use fewer RBUs and also expands the flexibility of heat recovery systems — providing the opportunity to share thermal energy across more zones. >> fujitsugeneral.com

LG Electronics has expanded its controls platform, LG MultiSITE. Empowering building owners and operators to optimize their operations and efficiency, especially with Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems, the MultiSITE lineup is packed with advanced features that deliver more building synergy and accessibility than ever before.
The Mestek Boiler Group’s inverter driven air-to-water heat pump will be sold under the RBI and Advanced Thermal Hydronic Brands. Perfect for light commercial and commercial applications, the air-to-water heat pump encompasses all of today’s hydronic equipment innovations.
WAGO adds a complete line of function terminal blocks to its TOPJOB S push-button terminal block family. This expansion includes automotive and pivoting fuse holders, blade disconnects and base carrier terminal blocks for pluggable modules.
The expanded YORK Sun Premier platform is designed to offer contractors faster installation and simplified start-up, while providing building owners with best-in-class efficiency levels that significantly reduce operational costs over the life of the unit.
All variants feature Push-In CAGE CLAMP connection technology and the intuitive, easy-to-identify, orange push-button, which can be actuated using a standard tool. Using the same profile as other terminal blocks in the TOPJOB S family, accessories such as jumpers and universal marking strips may be interchanged throughout the entire line.
The units feature start-up wizards, a 5.5inch OLED display and an optimized numeric keypad, which are standard on all units. This can be upgraded to the optional new high-end graphical user interface, which features a full-color touchscreen that provides quick access to system status, performance metrics and schedule parameters.
The new LG MultiSITE Edge 10 is a programmable and expandable controller based on Tridium’s widely used Niagara Framework. Utilizing the same toolset as LG’s Multi-SITE VM3, the MultiSITE Edge 10 can easily be programmed for any commercial application. >> lghvac.com www.hvacrbusiness.com
Heat pumps absorb low-temperature heat from outside air and deliver higher temperature heat to an emitter inside the occupied space using water as the heat transfer medium. When cooling heat pumps reverse the cycle and deliver chilled water through the same emitter. >> mestek.com
