According to the ACR News portal, the current situation of the economy and energy prices have aroused interest in new technologies. And it is that in the face of the changes that have been presented in the industry during the last months, the manufacturers of CVAC / R equipment have had to adapt to the needs of the industry, because without a doubt those companies that are more innovative and faster will be the ones that remain stronger in the market. That is why this note gives a brief account of the trends in this field.Geothermal systems: integral heating, air conditioning and hot water systems that take advantage of the constant temperature of the earth for their operation, generating great operational savings. This is achieved by water wells or buried polyethylene pipes and heat pumps that help pump heat from the earth into the building and vice versa.
All-in-one systems: A piece of equipment that incorporates a condensing water heater, condensing boiler, heat recovery fan, and is pre-wired for air conditioning, sounds like something too good to be true. But this integrated system can generate savings of between $2,000 and $5,000 in upfront costs and is also environmentally friendly because it's just one connected appliance instead of three.
Expansion valve: New expansion valves are already entering the market that are expected to help reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning systems by 25%, because they extend the life and durability of the compressors in these equipment. They are control devices that very precisely allow the refrigerant to pass into the evaporator, thus replacing the traditional mechanical expansion valves.
Positive things can be drawn from difficult times, proof of this is the number of innovations that are currently being developed and implemented in the industry. No matter how the economy is, it is always necessary to have a differentiating factor from the competition. Being pioneers in technological advances is one of the best ways to achieve that differentiation.
