Greenheck Introduces AMPLIFY Overhead Fans with Northern Light Technology.

AMPLIFY with Northern Light’s unique, patented design combines the air cleaning benefit of upper-room UV lighting with the air circulation capabilities of overhead fans. Upper-room UV lighting systems (also known as UVGI) have been used for decades to help control airborne pathogens in medical facilities and are recommended by the CDC, ASHRAE, and other organizations as part of a multilayer strategy to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. The addition of air movement has been shown to increase UV-C’s effectiveness.

With Northern Light technology, non-ozone generating UV-C bulbs are installed inside the AMPLIFY fan blades and positioned toward the tips of the blades where the majority of air movement occurs for the most effective inactivation of pathogens. The uplight design directs UV-C light away from occupants and into the upper-room where air is being circulated by the fan, minimizing UV radiation exposure, for safer system operation. The result is a system that is more effective than traditional air cleaning technologies at inactivating airborne pathogens and distributing clean air in occupied spaces.   For more information visit https://www.greenheck.com/hvls


Johnson Controls Launches Highly Accurate, Contactless, Skin Temperature Scanning Solution.

The Tyco Illustra Pro Thermal EST. A healthy and safe environment starts with a holistic approach that encompasses not only a building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) infrastructure, but adds temperature screening among protocols including contact tracing, frictionless entry and exits, and the practice of social distancing.

This contactless and highly accurate solution will be another tool in the first line of defense for building owners and operators as part of their pandemic safety measures.

TESTED AND SECURE SOLUTION At the heart of the Johnson Controls Smart Elevated Skin Temperature Scanning Solution is the Tyco Illustra Pro Thermal EST camera, which provides rapid scanning at accuracy levels that exceed standards set by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), as tested and confirmed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). In addition, the solution has been designed to meet the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's April 2020 Enforcement Policy for Telethermographic Systems.

RAPID SCREENING CREATING MORE OPEN SPACES
Skin temperature scanning is done while people continue to walk. Embedded, advanced facial detection technology and rapid scanning times quickly alert operators to an elevated skin temperature reading. People don't need to stop or be approached by operators. This helps to reduce crowding and contributes to a contactless building entry experience for visitors and employees at businesses, schools, sporting and transportation venues, and other buildings.

The Tyco Illustra Pro Thermal EST is now available for sale in the United States and will be released globally in phases. Please contact your regional sales representative to discuss availability or visit illustracameras.com.

DuctSox's New OvalSox™ Solves Low Clearance Challenges of HVAC Round Fabric or Metal Duct.

Unprecedented 47 to 93-inch-wide,11 to 22-inches-high oval-shaped fabric duct gains 13 to 27-inches of head room without sacrificing air volume.

OvalSox which ranges from 11 to 22-inches-high and 47 to 93-inches-wide, saves 13 to 27-inches of head room versus round HVAC fabric and metal duct alternatives. There's no air volume or air dispersion lost with OvalSox versus conventional duct that hangs too low and obstructs industrial overhead conveyors or high rising equipment. OvalSox is also ideal for datacenters with high rising security cages or low hung ceilings in offices and other commercial designs.    

OvalSox retains an inflated shape even during idle air handling periods with patent-pending polyester ropes and supportive fiberglass rods for structural integrity. Six 3/16-inch-diameter ropes are sewn into the fabric interior at nine to 14-inch increments, which also present an aesthetic pleated effect. Additionally, 3/8-inch-diameter corrosion-proof white fiberglass rods are attached via sewn-in clips atop the fabric surface to accentuate an inflated appearance. OvalSox is ceiling hung with two easily-installed rows of cable or H-track suspension systems, that also help keep an inflated shape with minimal sag.
OvalSox is superior to metal ductwork in that it offers a variety of air dispersion options, such as air porous fabric, linear vents, nozzles and orifices.

For more information on OvalSox or DuctSox's total line of textile air dispersion products and accessories, please visit www.ductsox.com or call 866-DUCTSOX.
