Infinitum Electric’s IEq is an alternative solution to VFD-based insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT). High-efficiency Silicon Carbide (SiC) VFD provides a small, smart, cool and efficient motor controller integrated with IoT functions in one unit.
The introduction of VFD enables commercial and industrial applications to change the speed of fan, pump or compressor applications. This has led to a gradual change in the overall energy consumption of the industry. However, there is still a limiting factor-VFD efficiency stagnates at ~88-94%.
Infinitum’s new silicon carbide IEq improves motor control efficiency, size and packaging, allowing OEMs and end users to deploy the technology in a more diverse environment. In addition, it also includes tightly integrated IoT sensors for vibration, temperature, power, etc., a microcontroller and a one-way “data diode” IoT cellular modem gateway, which allows OEMs and end users to supervise multiple facilities, thereby Easier to aggregate this data across thousands of installations, you can gain deeper insights into the performance and reliability of their applications. The onboard controller analyzes high-speed IoT sensor data in real time to provide end users with real-time predictive analysis. This innovation allows many OEMs to reconsider how to deploy VFDs in new ways that were previously unavailable.

Company: Advanced Cooling Technologies Inc. Innovation: Pump-assisted split-flow energy recovery heat exchanger
Advanced Cooling Technologies’ pump assists AAHX to recover energy from exhaust or supply air in all seasons, so that AHU consumes less energy. It works by combining traditional air-to-air heat pipe technology with a pumping two-phase system that utilizes two operating modes. In passive mode, when the hotter air flow is actually below the colder air flow, the mode will be activated, and the heat exchanger operates as a heat pipe without the need for electrical input. When the season changes and the relative temperature of the two air streams is opposite, a small pump will be used to maintain energy transfer. Since the heat transfer method inside the heat exchanger utilizes the latent heat of the working fluid, the flow required to transfer a large amount of energy is a small part of the equivalent glycol circuit. The combination of passive operation for at least half a year and the extremely low energy consumption during the other half of the year for active operation can obtain such a high overall energy recovery rate from this product.
The heat exchanger is compatible with large systems or long distances. In addition, optional active control valves and pump control devices enable the heat exchanger to provide relatively accurate temperature control and defrost functions without the need for inefficient bypasses. This innovation solves some of the problems in the HVAC industry, such as allowing clean air without being polluted by cross air. It uses two-phase heat transfer technology, high efficiency, high performance, and increased reliability through redundancy and fluid selection. It also eliminates the limitations that current system designers encounter on hardware configuration, and therefore eliminates the need to compromise system packaging and energy recovery. This innovation will allow designers to free up more time to develop new system layouts to better distribute the building’s air and return, and optimize the airflow in their applications without sacrificing energy efficiency.

The Radiation Automatic Balancing System (RABS) introduces the function of monitoring the temperature of each loop in the radiation system. Combined with monitoring the air temperature in each area through a wireless thermostat, the control uses a learning algorithm to drive and regulate the flow of water to each circuit to improve the efficiency of the radiation device. The loop length no longer needs to be designed to be a similar length, and there is no need to use the flow control on the manifold for manual balancing. Although designing circuits of similar length is still a best practice, the design rarely takes furniture and temporary floor coverings into consideration. The system does not require user input to maintain the set temperature by changing these variables, thereby providing designers with greater flexibility without sacrificing efficiency.
This innovation will provide an ideal solution for customers seeking efficient radiation. The system also integrates more digital pipeline functions for end-user monitoring. More and more customers want to obtain more interesting and useful data related to the performance of their system. In addition, the system will save installers valuable time when balancing the radiation system. Once the system is connected to the manifold and web application, the customer can make changes and monitor the temperature.

Des Champs Technologies series PLP Air-Trap™ provides a new concept in the design of condensate collectors, which can remove condensate from air conditioners or other condensing equipment, while preventing air circulation throughout the year, and only needs a height of 2 7/8 inches. A positive water column pressure of 0-40 inches can be obtained. The trap will never “dry out” or freeze because it does not rely on water to seal, but only on the pressure of the fan.
The innovative PLP trap uses the air pressure generated by the A/C fan to prevent conditioned air from entering or leaving the equipment. PLP is specially designed for HVAC equipment and does not require water to prevent air leakage. Air-conditioning equipment mainly generates condensate in summer. There is little or no condensate for the rest of the year, and when there is no condensate, the PLP is in a dry state and uses a floating ball valve with a lever-type horizontal pancake design and has a mechanical advantage around the pivot point.
