Commercial Rooftops
AAON
AAON RQ series rooftop units (2-6 tons) are engineered for performance, flexibility and serviceability. Two-inch double wall rigid polyurethane foam injected cabinet construction, and direct drive backward curved plenum fans allow the RQ series to have quiet, energy efficient airflow at all static pressure conditions. Variable speed fans and variable capacity compressors allow the unit to operate as a single zone VAV system that modulates the fan speed based on the space temperature and the compressor capacity based on the supply air temperature. Single zone VAV units are available as air-cooled condenser packaged rooftop units or as air-source, water-source or geothermal heat pump packaged rooftop units with gas, electric or hot water or steam auxiliary heating. | www.Aaon.com
Carrier
Building owners can increase operating efficiency and comfort control with a Carrier EnergyX energy recovery ventilator (ERV) system, now offered on Carrier WeatherMaster 48/50HC rooftops. This factory-installed offering pre-
conditions the outdoor air before it enters the rooftop unit evaporator coil, and uses building exhaust air as a heat exchange source. As a result, the system, which is fully integrated into the rooftop unit, operates efficiently under a wider range of ambient temperatures. Based on Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) guidelines, EnergyX units achieve combined efficiency factors (CEF) of up to 17. | www.carrier.com
Daikin McQuay
Daikin McQuay introduces a new energy recovery wheel option for the Rebel rooftop unit. Rebel rooftop units already achieve IEER’s as high as 20.6 without energy recovery and this new energy recovery option makes it more efficient, especially for applications requiring large amounts of ventilated air.
The energy recovery wheel option recovers approximately 75 percent of energy from the exhaust air stream. As the wheel rotates, outside air is drawn across one-half of the wheel while exhaust air is drawn across the other half, transferring sensible and latent energy between the ventilation and exhaust air streams. Free heat and humidity are recovered during winter months while free cooling and dehumidification occurs during the summer months. Easy, slide-out accessibility to the wheel is provided, simplifying service and cleaning for long-term, efficient wheel operation.
Rebel with energy recovery wheel exceeds ASHRAE Standard 90.1 requirements for energy recovery. It’s ideal for any climate, but the most energy savings can be seen in those with varying degrees of humidity. | www.DaikinMcQuay.com
Johnson Controls
The Johnson Controls Series 10 single packaged unit combines efficiency ratings (up to 15 SEER) and ease of installation in a light commercial unit. The hot gas reheat option allows contractors to maintain a comfortable temperature while controlling humidity levels. Dehumidification is accomplished without the need for electric or gas heating. The system efficiently reuses hot gas from the cooling cycle to allow for dehumidification without increasing sensible cooling. | www.johnsoncontrols.com

Fieldpiece
Fieldpiece Instruments introduces its new line of in-duct HVACR instruments, featuring an expandable 38-in. telescoping probe making it easier to take temperature, %RH or air velocity readings at the correct location – in the duct for more precise results. The three new in-duct products include two psychrometers (SRH3 and ARH5) and a hot-wire anemometer (STA2). The standalone STA2 hot-wire anemometer uses a hot wire for measuring air velocity. It displays any combination of CFM, air velocity and temperature at the same time on the backlit dual display. Plus, the STA2 automatically averages multiple test points based on the free area input to calculate CFM. | www.fieldpiece.com
hilmor
The hilmor compact swage tool has the power to knock out a 1-5/8-in. swage in one shot, as well as the precision to swage a 5/16-in. tube without a crack. Its handy, streamlined design allows it to fit in the tightest of spaces and perform flawlessly while up on a ladder. A smooth lever mechanism and release button help to create perfect, one-handed swages with no strain. | www.hilmor.com
Klein Tools
The Klein Klaw™ pump pliers are available in two styles: Quick-Adjust and Classic. The Quick-Adjust has a push button, quick ratchet feature that allows the user to easily adjust the plier to any position. Both styles of Klaw pump pliers are compact and narrow for better access in small or hard to reach spaces. The gripping surfaces of the jaw also have specially hardened teeth for positive gripping and reduced wear. In addition, a special groove at the tip of the jaw is designed for holding nails. | www.kleintools.com
RIDGID
RIDGID announces a new addition to its hand-held diagnostic and inspection product line: the micro CA-300, a hand-held inspection camera.
The micro CA-300 inspection camera offers an easy way to diagnose and document jobsite problems. The unit records still images and videos, and integrates audio with a built-in microphone and speaker, providing the ability to record insights and playback problems in hard-to-reach areas.
The micro CA-300 features user-adjustable image rotation and digital zoom to get the perfect view. The unit comes with a rugged, anodized aluminum camera head with four bright LEDs to provide improved lighting. | www.ridgid.com
