FACILITY EQUIPMENT
Air-flow system: The C-Series Fabric Diffuser from DuctSox,
a maker of air-dispersion products, offers a 360-degree air-distri-bution solution for HVAC systems. Suitable for a variety of spaces, including warehouses and manufacturing plants, the C-Series
drop-down plenum diffuser provides facilities with directional
control of their indoor airflow systems in spaces where traditional
ductwork is not an option for physical or financial reasons.
The C-Series diffuser features
a 360-degree design of porous
fabric with a unique pattern of
directional openings. Each diffuser is engineered with a straight
or 30-degree angled face and is
available in a variety of sizes.
The C-Series diffuser utilizes
DuctSox’s SkeleCore internal tensioning system, which eliminates
fabric flutter while maintaining
the exterior’s sleek appearance
with or without air flow. A stainless-steel internal framework
option is also available for food-processing and other caustic
environments.
Unlike metal, fabric diffusers are immune to scratches, dents,
and rust as the porous fabric is durable and not prone to condensation. The fabric is also quieter due to a lack of resonating
properties and can be easily vacuumed or laundered, while
optional fabrics are available with antimicrobial agents to inhibit
bacteria growth.
According to the company, the C-Series diffuser also provides
facilities with several “green” benefits. Due to its 360 degrees of
air dispersion, the fabric diffuser brings occupied spaces to target
temperatures 22% faster than metal diffusers can, producing
substantial energy-cost savings. The C-Series also requires less
shipment packaging than metal and thus creates less solid waste.
As a result, the installation of a C-Series diffuser may also help
facilities attain LEED credits. (DuctSox Corp., ductsox.com)
Ceiling fan: Patterson Fan Co. has released its direct-drive
V-Series high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) ceiling fan. The fan,
which features an IP54 motor and IP66 VFD (variable-frequency
drive), is designed to be light, quiet, and simple to operate. The
product also comes with self-lubricating bearings, which makes
it maintenance-free.
Rated for indoor and outdoor covered spaces, the fan can
cover up to 23,000 square feet. Its dihedral V-shaped blades are
angled up 7 degrees, allowing air distribution to a wider area, the
company says. (Patterson Fan Co., pattersonfan.com)
Sprinkler system: Johnson Controls
has added the Tyco Early Suppression Fast
Response (ESFR)- 22 pendent sprinkler to its
storage solution line. The ESFR- 22 can be
installed in storage facilities with a ceiling
height of up to 45 feet and a storage arrangement of up to 40 feet without requiring
in-rack sprinklers. The system can also be
installed with a maximum deflector-to-ceiling
distance of 18 inches, resulting in a reduction
in product and installation costs as well as increased storage
space due to higher roof/rack heights, the company says.
Model ESFR- 22 sprinklers are primarily used for ceiling-only
sprinkler protection of, but not limited to, the following storage
applications: most encapsulated or non-encapsulated common
materials, including cartoned unexpanded plastics; uncartoned
(exposed) expanded plastics; and some storage arrangements of
rubber tires, roll paper, flammable liquids, and aerosols.
The ESFR- 22 meets National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
and FM Global (FM Approvals) installation standards that must be
used to properly design an automatic sprinkler system using ESFR
sprinklers. (Johnson Controls, www.tyco-fire.com)
