VFD 900 Series Check Valve AKA “The Jellyfish”

Metraflex has once again reengineered a traditional and long ignored hydronic component to improve efficiency and lower operating costs. The new VFD Check Valve improves the Cv 38% for a 4” check valve operating at 6 FPS.   The increase in flow is due to reshaping the disk, just by examining the new disk design it is obvious why this product is more Hydrodynamic. In addition to the increase in Cv, the new Hydrodynamic disk is specifically designed to provide superior functionality in low flow conditions common with VFD drives.   The VFD Check Valve is the latest in product innovation from Metraflex and follows up the revolutionary LPD Y-Strainer.

Kagami Controller

  Fujitsu General America intorduces the Kagami Controller, offering modern, touchscreen control of Airstage H, J and V-Series systems. The nearly five-inch-square controller’s display is a half-mirrored, anti-fingerprint LCD.   The Kagami Controller switches intuitively between Custom Auto, Cool, Dry, Fan and Heat modes.  A multi-color LED indicates the current operating mode of the indoor unit. Scrolling through setting options simply requires a left or right swipe. A weekly operation schedule can be set, and a human sensor setting is available on select models.   Select sensor values, including the connected heat pump’s EEV pulse value, can be monitored from within the new controller, and room temperature offset can also be modified. Both individual and group control is available. Up to 16 individual indoor units can be simultaneously controlled from a single unit.   Initial setup and adjustments are accomplished via Bluetooth connection with Fujitsu’s Remo Set smartphone app. Settings can also be read from one controller and copied to another in the same manner.   The controller can retain and display HVAC contractor contact information, and a logo feature allows hotels to display their corporate logo on the touch screen when not actively in use.  Settings can also be masked for hotel installations.
