Here's What You Missed at the 2015 AHR Expo

Thank you to all who visited us at Booth 3823 in the Building Automation section of the AHR Expo. We enjoyed seeing both new and familar faces! The world's largest HVACR event was anything but boring. With 8% more exhibitors than last year and approximately 62,000 attendees, AHR was a huge success. 

10 Products Fight For the 2015 Product of the Year Award

On Tuesday January 27th at 1 pm, the second day of the 2015 AHR Expo, the 2015 Product of the Year winner will be announced. This award will go to the most innovative product in the HVACR industry. Who's nominated for this hefty awarded? The 2015 AHR Expo Innovation Award winners, who each come from 1 of the 10 different categories of competition, are all up for the nomination. 

The Best of the Best: 2015 AHR Expo Resources

Hope you're just as excited about the 2015 AHR Expo as we are! Back in March of 2014, AHR was predicted to be right on record-setting pace. Guess what, they set multiple records. The three day event, sponsored by ASHRAE and AHRI, will have over 40,000 attendees will visit with over 2,000 featured exhibitor. 

The 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show

For four days, Las Vegas was home to some of the most innovative technology products ever seen. This year's International CES kicked off on January 6th, and had not only the most technologically advanced products featured on the show floor, but also gave attendees the opportunity to listen to presentations given by some of the brightest in the industry.

Learn How to Monitor Multiple Critical Spaces From One Location

The "central command station" of each floor in a hospital (aka the central nurse's station) plays a critical role in the proper operation of OR suites, isolation wards, and other critical spaces where room condition is crucial. Floor nurses and circulating nurses are tasked with monitoring multiple rooms in their wing, which requires them to physically check each room's condition via the room's condition monitoring device.

How to Select Differential Pressure Transducers For Low-Differential, Critical Pressure Applications Part 2

System manufacturers are providing the highest quality, most reliable, and most energy efficient automobiles, airplanes, turbine and gas engines, and associated components ever produced. This is due in large part to the manufacturer's ever increasing demand for rigorous test and measurement of these products. 

For Low-Differential, Critical Pressure Applications Part 1 of 2

System manufacturers are providing the highest quality, most reliable, and most energy efficient automobiles, airplanes, turbine and gas engines, and associated components ever produced. This is due in large part to the manufacturer's ever increasing demand for rigorous test and measurement of these products. Differential pressure transducers are an integral part of that process for applications that demand reliability, repeatability, and high accuracy. This paper discusses how differential pressure transducers are used in critical pressure applications, two performance characteristics of a differential pressure transducer, and why they are important to consider when selecting a pressure transducer for low differential, critical pressure applications.
