Protecting your HVAC/R equipment is not a luxury — it’s essential. A coated coil maintains design effi ciency for a longer period of time as compared to
an uncoated coil. E-coat is a water-based, flexible epoxy polymer coating process engineered specifically for AAON heat transfer coils.

Full release from Energy.gov >

Washington, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced that it has received the first official submission by a manufacturer to a voluntary challenge for a new generation of high-efficiency cost-effective air conditioners for commercial buildings.The Department will begin testing the new Daikin McQuay “Rebel” unit from McQuay International to determine whether it meets the high energy-efficiency performance levels outlined by the challenge. The challenge aims to reduce energy use by as much as 50 to 60 percent over current equipment and is part of DOE’s broad efforts to partner with industry in support of innovative building technologies that will reduce our energy use, save money, and increase American competitiveness.

“Investing in energy efficient products for commercial buildings and factories is one of the most cost-effective ways for businesses to save money and compete in the global marketplace,” said U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu. “The Department is proud to have helped bring together buyers and manufacturers to identify these energy saving targets and to make clear the demand for very high performance units.  I’m excited to see manufacturers raising the performance bar to meet the genuine demand for energy-saving commercial air conditioners.”

The new performance criteria and challenge were developed through DOE’s Commercial Building Energy Alliance. DOE brought together major U.S. companies representing a significant portion of the U.S. market, to develop new performance criteria for 10-ton capacity commercial air conditioners, also known as rooftop units or RTUs. Participating companies have shared their intent to purchase equipment that meets the challenge. Entrants to the challenge, including the Daikin McQuay unit announced today, will undergo testing by the Department in partnership with its Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Lab.

Commercial buildings currently account for 18 percent of U.S. energy use. Nationwide, if all the 10-ton commercial units currently sold in a given year were built using these criteria, businesses could save about $50 million a year in energy costs. Those savings would continue to add up over the life of the unit.

DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy invests in clean energy technologies that strengthen the economy, protect the environment, and reduce dependence on foreign oil.

Revit family files are now available for Daikin McQuay WMC Magnitude water-cooled, magnetic-bearing, centrifugal chillers in all configurations and in both single- and multi-point power arrangements. Previously, Magnitude chillers in the 100 to 390 ton range were only supported in one configuration. Magnitude chillers are up to 40% more energy efficient than standard centrifugal chillers, saving substantial operating cost over the life of the machine.

McQuay and Daikin AC introduce the DIII-Net Communications Gateway that allows combining the high performance of McQuay’s dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) rooftop units with the absolute comfort of the Daikin variable refrigerant volume (VRV) system. The factory-installed communications gateway allows any packaged McQuay MicroTech® III 100% outside air unit to be seamlessly integrated into a Daikin VRV system through the Daikin Intelligent Touch Controller. This gateway provides an easy to wire, simple to configure system that is easy to access and provides more sophisticated control than a hardwired interlock.

Through the Intelligent Touch Controller, you will be able to manage your McQuay equipment conveniently and remotely in the following ways:

  • Schedule occupancy
  • View alarms
  • View, schedule, and adjust discharge air setpoint
  • Schedule and adjust fan speeds (High-Medium-Low) when the rooftop unit is selected with VFD or ECM fan

IEC’s fan coils are carefully engineered with specific component combinations to optimize each unit’s performance characteristics.

Using non-IEC replacement motors means performance and efficiencies cannot be guaranteed to match cataloged data. Some motors may create sound and/or reliability issues if the designs are inconsistent with OEM qualified parts.

Benefits for buying and installing OEM parts:

  • OEM parts provide an exact drop-in replacement, saving you time.
  • OEM parts feature exact electrical connections and lead lengths, with exact mounting characteristics, making your job easier.
  • OEM parts preserve the certifications for the parts in the original equipment, making your customers happy.
  • OEM parts help preserve the original manufacturer’s warranty and the original efficiency of the system, saving money in the long run.
  • OEM parts preserve engineered sound requirements (for applicable components such as motors), and meet rigorous factory run life design specifications, helping you earn your customer’s respect.
