Desigo V4 Building Automation System

Thermoactive building component systems (TABS) enable energy efficient cooling and heating of buildings whilst at the same time providing a comfortable room climate. The new version 4 of the Desigo building automation and control system from Siemens Building Technologies Division provides an innovative and unique application with separate heating and cooling curves for the control of such systems. The thermoactive building component systems are proven... 

SABIC Innovative Plastics Expands Investment in Fluid Engineering Center to Develop High-Performance Materials for Water Systems

Growing concerns about health and safety risks and increasingly high costs of metal in fluid handling systems are prompting the use of plastic pipes, faucets, valves, boilers and other components. Plastics offer the potential to build cleaner, safer and more cost-effective water systems; however, each material must undergo extensive testing. To provide the most rigorous and sophisticated evaluation of its engineering thermoplastics, SABIC Innovative... 

SunChiller Solar Absorption Cooling

SunChiller combines evacuated-tube solar thermal technology with absorption chilling to economize the environmental and financial conditioning energy costs for facilities with exceptional cooling loads. During peak demand hours, the hybrid system uses SunChiller as the primary chiller, with electric as backup.

Pipe Electroplating System for Utility-Scale Solar Systems

A new, continuous process system that precisely electroplates specialty coatings onto solar thermal power piping to optimize heat absorption is being introduced by METFAB Technologies, Inc. of Warwick, Rhode Island. The METFAB Solar Pipe Electroplating System precisely applies a metallic coating from 10 to 100 micro-inches to the surface of utility-scale solar thermal power pipe and tube which enhances their ability to absorb heat. Developed for companies...
