ANTEC Controls by Price: Introducing Venturi Valves with Factory Mounted Pace™ Controllers

ANTEC Controls by Price: Introducing Venturi Valves

Venturi Valves are mechanically pressure independent airflow control valves designed specifically for room pressure and fume hood control applications.

Available in constant or variable air volume configurations, the Venturi Valve is able to control flow without the need for airflow measuring devices in the airstream. The device eliminates the possibility of lint or other airborne particulates interfering with the control or accuracy of the valve. The valve provides electronic flow feedback using a precision potentiometer to output a signal proportional to airflow.

Each valve is factory characterized on NVLAP accredited airflow calibration stations (NVLAP Lab Code 201067-0 complying with ISO/IEC 17025:2005) using N.I.S.T traceable equipment to ensure dependable and repeatable valve accuracy. Antec Controls Venturi Valves are accurate to ±5% of flow when operated within the designed pressure range. Valve accuracy is unaffected by inlet conditions and does not require any minimum distance of straight duct on the inlet or outlet of the valve.

 

 

Mechanical pressure independence is achieved through the highly engineered internal plunger assembly. The plunger assembly ensures the valve responds instantaneously to changes in duct static pressure. Turndown ratios reaching up to 20:1 maximize energy savings when space unoccupied or when at minimum flow set point.

FEATURES

  • Electronic airflow feedback prevents dust/ lint contamination from deteriorating airflow reading
  • Characterized and calibrated using NVLAP accredited airflow stations
  • Medium or low pressure operation
  • Operating pressure feedback

Pace™ is a flexible controller for room containment through pressurization. Pace™ delivers seamless environmental monitoring, control and energy savings in critical spaces.

 

To achieve room pressurization requirements, Pace™ allows for either Volumetric Flow Offset or Pressure Control strategies. Pace™ achieves airflow control utilizing Venturi Valves, Venturi FX valves or Terminal Units.

Protect Health and Wellness: DriSteem humidification systems help reduce the spread of illness.

Humidify hospitals, clinics and other health care facilities to promote healing and protect against bacteria and viruses.


Humidification Improves Indoor Air Quality

Bacteria and viruses thrive in dry air. A too-dry room can cause that scratchy sore throat to last for days. Keeping RH levels within a range of 40 to 60 percent not only decreases bacteria and viruses in the air, but hinders the development of fungi, mites, chemical interactions, and ozone production. The result is reduced occurrences of allergic rhinitis, respiratory infections, and asthma among building occupants. Humidify hospitals, clinics and other health care facilities to promote healing and protect against bacteria and viruses.

In addition, humidified spaces feel warmer and are more comfortable for occupants, especially in cold climates where heating systems run frequently.

Benefits Of Humidification
  • Improves indoor air quality
  • Reduces respiratory illnesses
  • Makes indoor environments feel more comfortable

Tempeff: The Dual Core Difference. Turning up the Heat on Energy Recovery!

Tempeff

Turning up the Heat on Energy Recovery!

Stinebaugh & Company represents Tempeff, with Dual Core™ Technology, offering the highest quality energy recovery equipment with the highest efficiency available.

 

 

The Dual Core Difference

Any building owner or operator knows that due to the extreme North American climate, conditioning ventilation air is very expensive. Ventilation air is extremely important to ensure the building is healthy and in turn the occupants are healthy and productive. Thanks to Tempeff Dual Core’s high efficiencies, owners can meet or exceed minimum legislated ventilation requirements, without the usual high operating costs of traditional ventilation heating and cooling equipment.

 

Up to 90% sensible efficiency

Other available technologies offer a maximum of 50-75% efficiency under ideal circumstances, and much lower real effectiveness in colder temperatures due to frost. Our Dual Core™ design is significantly more energy efficient in all conditions, without any requirement for a defrost strategy, thus true operating costs are extremely attractive.

Obtain up to 70% latent recovery

In winter modes condensation will form on the exhausting heat exchanger. When the cycle changes, the outdoor air is passed over the heat exchanger and that moisture is added back to the airstream. This reduces the need for added humidity in the conditioned space.

Resist frost while maintaining effectiveness

Most heat recovery technologies suffer from the same basic drawback. In cold temperatures, frost forms on the exhaust side of the heat exchanger. This dramatically reduces the heat recovery effectiveness and drives up true operating costs. With the Dual Core™ design frost will never build up in a typical application. By employing a cycling heat exchanger, frost doesn’t have a chance to form, and one heat exchanger is always delivering conditioned air to the space.

Lower the maintenance of your system

With few moving parts, maintenance of the system is very low. Due to the cycling nature of the heat exchangers dust rarely builds up on the heat exchangers, eliminating the need for frequent cleaning.

Long Term Performance

In a third party audit of a 17 year old installation, performed by CIT Energy Management AB, it was found that the efficiency of the equipment was the same as the day it was installed (90% measured temperature efficiency). Owners of Tempeff equipment can rest assured that the high efficiency achieved will not diminish over time.
