Applied Air News

The FAP is a new packed DOAS (Dedicated Outdoor Air System) from Applied Air.  This unit is the product of over 6 years of research and design and was designed from the ground up to fully comply with the ventilation standards set forth in ASHRAE 62.1.  Compliance with this standard is a prerequisite for LEED certification.   The FAP is a modular unit that contains many features that historically were only available in custom units.  These features include:

• Our exclusive DHTD™ (Digital High Turn Down) burner (Patent Pending) with turn-down ratios up to 100 to 1.  The most energy efficient indirect fired burner available.
• Powerful plenum fan section that can produce up to 6"wg of static pressure.  Long duct runs are no problem for the FAP.
• MERV 7 filters standard with MERV 15 filters available for providing fresh clean ventilation air to your building.
• Up to 6 rows of DX coil.  These coils are essential to insure that the air you bring in to your building is cool and dry.
• Patented ApdaptAire™ DDC controls that are BACnet, LON, N2, and modbus compatible
• Up to 60 tons of DX cooling capacity utilizing the environmentally friendly 410A refrigerant.
• Available re-heat coil option enables neutral air while complying with ASHRAE 90.1.

Applied Air is introducing a USB Flash drive application that gives the user access to a wealth of information about the Applied Air, Alton, and Aztec products.  The application includes case studies, IOM manuals, Technical Guides, CFD videos, marketing videos, training PowerPoint programs, and downloadable BIM files.  These devices are available now from any Applied Air representative or directly from Applied Air.

Webinar Name: 'Evaporative Cooling of Data Centers'

Monday, August 23

Summary: Huge amounts of data are moved around the world everyday by companies such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and others.  That data flows in and out of buildings that house dozens to thousands of computer servers…each one generating heat that must be handled.  In this webinar learn why and how progressive companies are using evaporative cooling to solve their problems and how you can help.

NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT

Well, really a product “re-announcement”.  The Aztec product line has been in the Mestex portfolio for years and we are happy to announce a rebirth of the Aztec ASC products for indirect and indirect/direct evaporative cooling applications.

What makes this so important is that the market for evaporative cooling solutions is expanding rapidly due to the desire to cool and ventilate buildings in the “greenest” or most efficient manner possible…and nothing beats evaporative cooling for that.

The applications for evaporative cooling are numerous…factories, dry cleaners, prisons, kitchens, automobile dealer service areas, telephone equipment facilities, and computer server/data centers.

Aztec units come standard with DDC controls and are available through Applied Air representatives everywhere.

Bruce Standerwick, a highly experienced application specialist for Applied Air, has highlighted the importance of providing the proper natural gas pressure, external static pressure, and primary voltage when selecting and ordering gas-fired equipment.  Bruce identifies the most common problems and the fixes that can be implemented in the field...and the potential cost implications.  The PowerPoint presentation includes the speaker notes making it easier to follow Bruce's thoughts.

This PowerPoint is part of the Applied Air Webinar series.  The series has covered topics such as DDC controls, special application of DDC controls, direct gas fired heating systems, and other topics.

Direct gas fired equipment is the most efficient way to heat a space that requires large amounts of outside air.  Kitchens, factories, warehouses all have requirements for vast amounts of outside air in order to maintain proper building pressure.  Proper building pressure is necessary to minimize infiltration of cold and/or dirty outside air, and to make sure that exhaust hoods and exhaust systems function properly.  There are a few key jobsite characteristics that must be defined if the system is to function as intended.  Applied Air is hosting a webinar on Monday, August 2, covering the three key pieces of information to gather.

Data centers are popping up all over the world but they all face a common problem...too much energy being consumed by the "non-revenue" part of the electrical load.  Cooling the sea of blade servers in a modern data center is an energy-intensive process that must be controlled.  Microsoft and others have concluded that the old methods of cooling data centers are no longer necessary.  Extremely cold temperatures and tightly controlled humidity levels have been proven to contribute little to overall system stability and reliability.  This has opened the door for the use of a time-tested, low energy, "green", technology for cooling...evaporative cooling.  Applied Air is reintroducing our Aztec line of indirect, or indirect/direct, evaporative cooling systems for data centers.  The Aztec ASC line of products includes extensive outside air filtering, DDC controls with remote monitoring capability and very high efficiency heating technology.  Under the new guidelines issued by ASHRAE and the new conditions promoted by Microsoft, and others, you will find that the Aztec ASC product will provide the required air temperatures for most data centers located west of the Mississippi...without the need for expensive compressor operation.
