Belimo releases new larger sizes inline flow sensors, 2½ to 6” that offer automatic glycol measurement and compensation for optimal system performance. Trusted flow measurement is essential in maximizing HVAC system efficiency and ensuring occupant comfort. Belimo flow sensors utilize ultrasonic technology with glycol compensation to provide accurate and repeatable flow measurements of water and water/glycol mixtures without drift in any HVAC application.

Controlling and monitoring indoor levels of carbon dioxide is essential for everyone’s health, safety, and the energy efficiency of buildings. Similar to how we need to breathe fresh air, so do buildings. Ventilation in a building is the essential process of replacing stale air with fresh air. Without engineered ventilation, buildings become susceptible to stagnant air, mold, bacteria, and potentially harmful gasses like radon, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and carbon dioxide. Prolonged exposure to these elements can lead to “sick building syndrome” where occupants experience acute health and comfort effects.

At Belimo, we are excited to release new technology innovations for the HVAC market that will increase energy efficiency and reduce installation cost.

Belimo is excited to announce the launch of a full range of HVAC sensors. The new sensors are the perfect complement to Belimo actuators and valves, optimizing energy efficiency and system performance.

The new Belimo technologically advanced butterfly valve is the exception. Belimo Americas releases a technologically advanced butterfly valve designed specifically for the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning industry. The newly designed butterfly valve and actuator assembly is the most intelligent, energy efficient, and reliable high flow solution in the HVAC market. With a focus on ease of installation, application flexibility, and longevity, this series sets new performance standards.

Control Trends has official opened the 2016 Control Trends nomination. Control Trends is an online organization that provides HVAC and Industrial Controls professionals a place to learn and share information about the rapidly changing world of the commercial and industrial controls. With product demonstrations and training videos along with news and special posts that affect the controls professional. Control Trends operates independently and are committed to providing HVAC professional, useful information.

The pressure independent control technology has matured over the years and is accepted as a proven application for optimizing hydronic system delta T, enhancing system performance and reducing energy cost. Pressure independent valves offer precise hydronic flow control resulting in improved system efficiency and control for heating and cooling applications. The primary purpose of pressure independent control valves in a HVAC system is to minimize flow through the coil in an air handler while maintaining process variable set point control (coil discharge air temperature). Hydronic system performance has varied from constant volume to variable volume with pressure independent flow control.

Belimo Americas announces the release of the new ANSI 250 pressure rating for 2 ½” to 6” flanged Energy Valve and ePIV assemblies. These assemblies utilize an electromagnetic flow meter in line with a control valve to obtain close-off ratings from 135 – 310 psi depending on valve size and actuator force. Actuators respond to a modulating control signal and are available with non-spring return or electronic fail-safe functionality.
