Everything shaping
the world of cooling.
Technology, companies and events worldwide
GF has introduced the MCV multi-control valve, integrating flow regulation, five sensors, and digital communication in a single housing for D2C liquid cooling. Four models based on DN25 and DN50 cover a range from 41 to 324 kW.
Universal Electronics and Carrier have jointly launched the Carrier Smart Thermostat with InteliSense (Model TSTATCCIEWF-01), a connected control hub that pairs UEI hardware with Carrier HVAC systems to deliver cloud diagnostics, dealer remote access, and up to 21 adaptive comfort stages when paired with the Performance 27VPA9 heat pump.
Honeywell has announced the early-2027 market launch of Energy Valve — an integrated package combining a multi-port valve, electric actuator, sensors, and an intelligent interface for pressure-independent temperature control. The device unifies flow and thermal energy metering, coil control, and system pressure optimisation via BMS in a single circuit.
At Data Center Korea 2026 (November 4–6, Seoul), Emerson demonstrated how measurement, valve, and control technologies proven in power plants and process industries are being applied to AI data centers. Key focus areas include equipment self-diagnostics and integrated energy management through the Ovation EMS system.
At the BACtwin-Forum 2026 in Mainz (approximately 300 participants), the transition from Excel spreadsheets to user-friendly software was discussed. AMEV, together with manufacturers and integrators, is developing an open JSON-based data exchange format to transfer BACtwin addressing keys, objects, and properties across all stages of the building automation lifecycle.
With buildings consuming roughly 33% of India's electricity and HVAC systems driving 40–60% of a typical commercial building's energy bill, BMS integration, demand-controlled ventilation, and cloud-connected analytics are rapidly becoming baseline specification requirements. The article maps the three-layer BMS architecture, key control strategies, IAQ-driven ventilation economics, and the filtration and standards landscape shaping the next decade of intelligent building design in India.
Three Gree compressor technologies for residential central air conditioning and heat pumps have passed independent expert review and been recognized at the international advanced level. The solutions address key challenges in cooling and heating for residential central AC and heat pump systems.
Embraco has introduced Sync It All Pro, a Pro-tier integrated component ecosystem for refrigeration systems. The upgrade extends adaptive defrost to variable-speed compressors — a feature the company describes as unique in the market — and doubles controller capacity from 9 to 16 components.
Optimized air movement in commercial refrigeration can deliver up to 7% energy savings, equivalent to roughly 3.64 TWh annually across the EU 27. Daniel Hofmann of Nidec Global Appliance (Embraco) explains how integrated fan pack design—combining EC motors, aerodynamic blades, and shrouds—addresses the performance bottleneck that has shifted from compressors to ventilation.
A complete heat exchanger specification must address physical arrangement, mechanical integrity, pressure compliance, maintainability, and instrumentation—not just thermal duty. Overlooking these interface details can turn a correctly selected unit into an expensive installation or operational problem.
Eugene le Roux (FSAIRAC) and Eamonn Ryan argue that a heat exchanger specification should be built around functional parameters—fluid properties, temperatures, thermal duty, and pressure conditions—rather than physical characteristics alone. Published in RACA Journal, this Part 1 of a two-part series covers the functional side; Part 2 will address the physical interface, mechanical integrity, safety, maintenance, and instrumentation.
Secop presents new R290 compressors across three product lines — KL-Series, NLE Plus, and SCE — targeting professional food service applications at Chillventa 2026 in Nuremberg. The range spans compact units for bottle coolers to high-capacity models for walk-in freezers, responding to the revised EU F-Gas Regulation's push toward natural refrigerants.
