Are you Grumpy?
One quick way to become
enthused again
Ruth King’s
Contractors Cents
June was the hottest month in more than 20 years
in many areas of the country. One of the installation
managers I work with wasn’t having any fun. He was
depressed and dreaded coming to work. His attitude
was rubbing off on the field crews.
The remedy - simple.
I made him find something to complement each
crew member on every day. He did it. Now, a month
later, he’s feeling better and the field employees are
feeling better. Work has improved too.
When it is hot you usually are so busy that you
can’t see straight. And, you have so many things on
your to do list that you feel that all you are doing is
putting out fires. You are tired and grumpy.
If you are tired, and grumpy, guess what? Your
employees, who are also probably tired, get grumpy.
Then, your company attitude goes down. You
aren’t cheerful on the telephone with customers. Your
grumpiness even rubs off on your customers.
The death spiral has begun.
The quick and easy way to eliminate the grumpiness death spiral - say thank you.
Every day find a way to say thank you to your
field and office personnel. When you are sincere, you
can’t be grumpy. You will feel better just by saying it.
Then, your attitude picks up and everyone’s attitude
in the office picks up.
Tell your field employees you appreciate their
hard, sweaty work in the hot sun. Bring them an ice
cream cone (or bar). They will appreciate it and you
will feel a lot better.
Saying thank you at this time of year - and
throughout the year helps build morale in busy and
slow times. Do it. It takes less than a minute per em-
ployee. You will enjoy coming to work and so will
your employees.
Next Topic: ARE you there?
Your customers want assurance that you ARE
there when they need you. ARE is an acronym first
told to me by Brett M. Judd, a colleague who works
with business owners and their famillies/customers:
A: attentive, accessible - I can reach you when I
need you
R: Responsive - when I reach you do you respond
quickly?
E: Engaged - excited about helping you
The first part of ARE you there is simple - answer
the telephone. Being on the first page of a Google
search doesn’t cut it. Your prospective customers
want to talk to you.
Brenda, my assistant, needed a plumber. The one
she had used disappeared. Her daughter gave her a
referral. Brenda called the referral at 8:15 AM and got
his voice mail. This would have been an easy customer for him - it was a referral! However, he didn’t
call back all day. He failed at the R: he didn’t respond
quickly.
So, Brenda did an Internet search. It took several
more phone calls to find a plumber. Many who were
listed on the first page of Google didn’t answer their
phones! They failed at A!
The plumber that Brenda found was great at
E: they were helpful, answered her questions, and
sounded excited about her business.
ARE you there? I hope so. Your revenues depend
on it.
Final Topic: Seven Easy Things to Remember
when It’s Hot. For those of you who are rejoicing be-

cause it’s hot, and those of you looking forward to
the days when it will be hot, remember these seven
things:
1. Now is the time to generate revenue and profit.
It’s the time to take your flat rate up $25 to $50 per
hour; especially if you haven’t raised your rates in at
least a year.
2. Save 1% of every dollar that comes in the door.
Cash flow is plentiful right now. Save a little. You will
still have enough to operate your business.
3. Save all maintenance sales dollars that come in
the door. See #2. You won’t need the cash right now.
4. Remember that your technicians need to sleep.
They can work only so long each day. You need to let
them rest after 12 to 14 hour days.
During the first busy rush you could probably
employ 3 or more additional technicians and still not
get everything done. Dispatchers have to say when
the first available appointment is. Service agreement
customers come first. Then, everyone else. That is the
priority.
5. If it will take an additional hour or two to finish
a replacement job, then do it on overtime. It is much
cheaper than having to go back the next day.
6. Keep water in the trucks. Field employees need
to drink water throughout the day. It helps keep them
alert and less tired.
7. Say thank you. This is the time of year that
everyone is working really long hours. Saying thank
you goes a long way. And, remember to say thank you
to wives and significant others. (Send flowers... as one
of the contractors I work with does. These go a long
way toward understanding what happens when their
spouses come home tired and grumpy after a long,
hot day).
Enjoy the busy times!

SFACA July Program Meeting
Annual Inspector Panel
July 8th, 2015
The July SFACA Program Meeting was held at
the Sheraton Suites in Plantation at 6pm on July 8th.
The evening consisted of The Annual Inspector Panel
This popular annual forum was designed to encourage
dialogue between city and county inspectors and contractors regarding areas of mutual concern and interest. There was a lot of interest about the new wind load
guidelines. The panel all agreed to make sure that you
have the proper approved wind load documentation.
The August SFACA Program Meeting will be held
at the Sheraton Suites in Plantation at 6pm on August
5th. The program topic is the Pros and Cons to Statewide E-Permitting Process. Paul Bollenback will lead
an informative discussion about the logistics and road-
blocks of establishing a statewide e-permitting process
including: what the process might look like and the
impact on the contractor and local building departments. Bollenback is uniquely qualified to understand
the issue from the perspective of both a seasoned air
conditioning contractor and a recent building official
for the City of Naples.

Lance Cpl. Nick Ellis accepted the house, but remembed his friend who helped him survive in Iraq
years ago. He told all of us in attendence that he was
accepting the house in part on behalf of Sgt. Thomas Sullivan, who was killed recently by Mohammad
Youssuf Abdulazeez in Tennessee.
“I believe, and I’m accepting this home on behalf
of Thomas as well because he was a good man,” Ellis
said holding back tears.
During his tour in Iraq in 2005, Sullivan helped
Ellis after a grenade explosion. “We had already finished the entire tour. We had six days left, and I got hit
with a grenade blast to the Humvee,” Ellis said. “He
was one of the guys who helped pick me up when I
got hurt and put me in the Humvee. That’s how close
he was.” To learn more about the Building Homes for

Trade Talk:
By Tommy Castellano
Owner, Castellano A/C Services in Tampa, Florida
Today, there is a pill for everything. If you have a
headache, you take a pill. There is a pill for diabetes;
a pill for nausea; a pill to pump you up; a pill to calm
you down. But what about a pill for business?
If there were a pill that would make you a better
business person, would you take it? Sure you would.
What would it cost? If you could buy a pill that
would make you a better business person for less than
the cost of a Starbuck’s cup of coffee, would you buy
it? Think hard. Weigh the pros … weigh the cons.
I found my pill! It’s the Florida Air Conditioning
Contractors Professional Alliance … also known as
Florida-ACCPA.
There’s nothing magical about it. What makes
Florida-ACCPA special is its concern for the HVACR
Contractor. Their number one mission is to make you
the best HVACR person in every area of your business.
Just what are the functions of our business? Let’s
see … there’s Receptionist, Customer Service, Sales,
Marketing, Advertising, Bookkeeping, Accounting,
Human Resources, Code Updates, Safety, Service,
CEO, CFO, COO, etc., etc. Have I left anything out?
Any one of the functions listed above is a full time
job. No matter if you’re a one-man shop or a 40-man
shop, each of those functions touches your business
life.
Let’s face it. Most of us are out of our league when
it comes to some of these functions. Like how do you
base your service call rates? Many of you do it by what
the guy down the street charges.
Yes Sir, I’ve found my pill. All for much less than
a daily cup of coffee from the local 7-11. Just $24.95
a month and I have access to a wealth of resources,
information and education.
Is it for everybody? No, it’s not. It’s not for the
guy who “knows it all” … nobody can help him. But,
if you want to stay informed on what’s going on in our
industry, or if you just want to get involved and give
back to our industry, then $24.95 a month is a small
price to pay to become a member of the fastest growing association in Florida.
For more information, visit the Florida-ACCPA
web site at www.florida-accpa.org. Or, contact lisa.
tamargo@florida-accpa.org … be sure to tell Lisa,
“Tommy sent me!”.

RGF’s REME HALO awarded Gold
in 2015 Dealer Design Awards
RIVIERA BEACH, FL— JULY 29, 2015— RGF
Environmental Group, Inc., an environmental products design and manufacturing firm, announced that
it has once again been awarded the Gold Dealer Design Award for Innovative IAQ technolgy.
The REME Halo™ induct air purifier developed
by RGF, was designed and improved with input from
its customer base.
“With this product, I
guarantee customers will
notice a difference in their
IAQ,” said Chris Staley,
head HVAC service technician with Regal Inc.
in York, Pennsylvania.
“The higher kill rates let
my customers be confident they are protected
against bacteria, viruses,
mold spores, VOCs (volatile organic compounds),
and odors. The ion generator is a great add-on
to help attract allergens,
dust, and dirt to further filter indoor air, which assures the air is clean.”
David Sansone, owner of Sansone Air Conditioning in Deerfield Beach, Florida, added that the
REME Halo™ “has been a welcome addition” to his
line of IAQ products. “We’ve used the REME Halo™
since it was first introduced, and we’ve been a dealer
of RGF products for around seven years,” he said. “I
think it does an excellent job killing airborne pollutants and removing particles from the air.”
RGF has earned a reputation among contractors and engineers not only for their ability to provide products that vastly improve IAQ, and ease of
installation, but also the company’s stellar customer
support. One judge said the product’s ease of maintenance has “greatly improved over previous models,”
while another judge called this year’s IAQ Dealer
Design Awards winner an “excellent product” that is
“easy to install and works great.”
The REME Halo™ contains a unique patent
pending technology which produces hydro-peroxides,
proactively killing bacteria, mold, and viruses in the
air and on surfaces while also reducing odors, smoke,
VOCs, and particulates by 99 percent. This product
also offers first-in-its-class, environmentally friendly packaging. Other features include a quick-release
housing and cell for fast installation and replacement,
no tool maintenance, an adjustable shroud that offers
variable output control for the amount of hydro-peroxides being emitted, and
dual ion generator emitters for increased bipolar
ion output.
“When developing
this product, our engineers specifically focused
on the feedback from the
field requesting easier
and faster installation and
service times. As a result
of this input, the quickrelease and no-tools features for both the unit disassembly and the cell replacement were created.”
said Lisa Bailey, Sales Coordinator at RGF.
Sponsored by ACHR News, the 2015 Dealer Design Awards recognize contractor-oriented products
with features that assist in installation, maintenance,
and service of installed products to the HVACR industry.
RGF manufactures over 500 environmental products and has a 30-year history of providing the world
with the safest air, water and food without the use of
chemicals. RGF holds numerous other patents and
patents-pending and previously invented the Guardian Air PHI-Cell (Photohydroionization) and patentpending REME-Halo, both for the HVAC industry.
RGF’s Advanced Oxidation Systems are proven
and tested to be extremely effective in destroying
mold, odors, bacteria and viruses while also being
completely safe for occupants, and the REME-Halo
has the added benefit of reducing particulates. For
more information on the REME Halo™, visit RGF’s

FEFPA Summer 2015 Conference
Naples Grande Beach Resort - Naples FL
July 7-10, 2015
The FEFPA Summer Conference was held at
the Naples Grande Beach Resort on July 7th-10th.
Throughout the conference the panelists were engaged in discussions which challenged traditional
thinking in public education. There were sessions on
legal issues, new trends, project delivery, technical
aspects of facilities planning and more.
The Florida Educational Facilities Planners Association (FEFPA) was started in the early 1960’s
as a cooperative effort between a small group of
school districts’ facilities planners and the Department of Education, Office of Educational Facilities
(OEF). When the community colleges came into being, those planners began to participate and recently,
along with university planners, practicing architects,
engineers, product manufacturers, and vendors have
been encouraged to participate and become members
and associate members.
In recent years FEFPA summer conferences have
been attended by over 500 people

ICM Controls Releases the
ICM442 Three-Phase Motor
Temperature Monitor
AHRI Files Comments on Draft
DOE Furnace Standard
ICM Controls Corporation introduces its new
ICM442 three-phase temperature monitor designed to
protect your motor windings before thermal damage
can occur.
Using up to four thermistors in series, the ICM334
monitors the temperature of your motor. It is designed
to shut off power to the motor before high temperatures, caused by various system and power anomalies, can damage the motor windings. It also protects
against phase loss and phase reversal. It supports 200575 VAC three-phase applications.
“With today’s advanced systems, coupled with a
failing power grid, the stresses that can be placed on
a motor have never been greater,” said Kevin Jobsky,
Director of Marketing and Aftermarket Sales for ICM
Controls. “The ICM442 complements ICM’s ever
popular line of voltage monitors and surge protective
devices by offering an additional line of defense in
protecting the end user’s valuable investment.”

When Dry Bulb Temperatures Aren’t Enough
A valuable field measurement used for troubleshooting by technicians is dry bulb temperature.
However results from this test can be misapplied or
used to make various incorrect assumptions. Let’s
take a look at the proper application of dry bulb temperature, its limitations, and what you can add to it for
some real diagnostic value.
A Common Misinterpretation
Dry bulb temperature is the temperature of the
air measured with a standard thermometer, not an infrared thermometer. When thinking about air temperature, it’s dry bulb temperature that’s typically considered. Since dry bulb temperatures are measured in
the cooling mode, they’re often used to help interpret
how much heat is being removed by the HVAC system.
This interpretation can easily trick a technician
into thinking a system is problem-free, when in reality there are underlying problems. For example, it’s
commonly thought that a system operating with a 16
to 20 degree temperature drop across the evaporator
coil is good to go. There are a lot of variables being
ignored and assumptions being made with this conclusion.
Adding Fan Airflow
While a 16 to 20 degree dry bulb temperature
drop may be acceptable in some parts of the country,
in drier climates it isn’t. The reality is that temperature drop across a coil alone doesn’t provide enough
information to verify proper operation or refrigerant
charge of an HVAC system.
For example, proper fan airflow is being assumed
with a target temperature drop like 16 to 20 degrees.
This is often incorrect. Many systems just don’t move
enough airflow across the coil – something that won’t
show up in dry bulb temperature readings alone. Additional measurements must be taken to verify proper
operation. Fan airflow is the first measurement that
needs to be added to dry bulb temperature drop for it
to have any real meaning.
The easiest and quickest way to obtain this value
is to measure static pressure and plot it on the manufacturer’s fan performance data. This value will give
you a good idea of the amount of air moving across
a coil. If airflow is within the proper range of 350 to
400 cfm per ton, you’re doing great. If not, there’s
more work to be done.
The Result is Sensible Heat
When fan airflow is added to dry bulb temperature change, a new world of opportunity opens. These
two measurements are components of the sensible
heat formula. The sensible heat formula moves you
one step closer to understanding how well a cooling
system really is performing.
The sensible heat formula is: CFM x Δt x 1.08 =
Sensible BTUs
Sensible heat is a form of heat that you can feel. In
the cooling mode of operation, sensible heat is what
drops the temperature inside a building as the cooling
equipment removes heat. When sensible heat is measured live in the field, it can be compared against the
manufacturer’s engineering data for the current testing conditions. This allows you to be sure that portion
of the cooling system is operating as intended.
Unfortunately sensible heat alone can’t always be
used to verify the total performance of cooling equipment. There is likely moisture being removed by the
cooling system that needs to be accounted for as well.
This means another type of temperature measurement will need to be taken that allows you to determine the affect of moisture removal on the cooling
equipment’s capacity.
In next months article, we’ll take a look at how
you can use wet bulb temperatures to determine how
much of an impact the moisture removal of a cooling
system is really having.
Don’t minimize the importance of measuring dry
bulb temperature drop across a coil. It’s a valuable
measurement that simply needs to be combined with
other test results to take advantage of its real potential. When the use of these temperatures is expanded
to identify additional system deficiencies, they allow
you to uncover issues your competition doesn’t know
exist.

Pipe Prop Receives Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance
for Pipe support Approved for Electrical Conduit
Pipe Prop, a
popular, easy-toinstall and adjustable pipe support
system, now has
a version with
the Miami-Dade
Notice of Acceptance* for electrical conduit. The
new Pipe Prop
APF-1 (1.5”) and
APF-2 (2.5”) and
the newly patented USPP (Unistrut) for electrical conduit are perfect to use in all areas of Florida, especially
hurricane zones.
Pipe Prop’s inventor, Jim Brown, devised a unique
steel reinforcement to be used with Pipe Prop specifically made for electrical conduit. This is the only
product of its kind, is unique to the industry, and is the
only pipe support system for electrical conduit that has
been awarded the prestigious Miami-Dade NOA. To
achieve this coveted certification, the product underwent rigorous and repeated tests for approval in hurricane zones to ensure that Pipe Prop will not buckle,
shatter or deteriorate in extreme Florida weather, including hurricane strength wind, rain, sun and hail.
“Our approval by Miami-Dade for electrical conduits means contractors and architects don’t have to
go through the approval process every time. We have
done all the strict approvals and testing for them,” said
Jim Brown, inventor of Pipe Prop and owner of JMB
Industries LLC, which has manufactured Pipe Prop
for condensate since 1996. “Pipe Prop now sets the
standard by which all other pipe supports for electrical
conduits and condensate must be measured in MiamiDade County,” Brown said.
The Miami-Dade NOA Pipe Prop system is sold as
a complete kit to ensure performance and uphold strict
standards and regulations. The unique steel reinforcement attaches securely to the roof with screws, which,
when combined with the Miami-Dade approved adhesive, creates a virtually water-tight seal. Pipe Prop’s
tough UV-resistant polymer pipe and base unit slips
seamlessly over it and is secured with the Miami Dade
approved adhesive. The entire kit is easy to install, affordable and quickly adjustable to any height.
Pipe Prop has more than 60 distributors in Florida
that have been selling hundreds of thousands of Pipe
Prop systems in the Florida market sine 1996. Pipe
Prop is manufactured in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, and

Ferguson HVAC
Recycles Thermostats
To Keep Mercury Out
Of Landfills
Ferguson announced its participation in Thermostat Recycling Corporation’s (TRC) fourth annual Big Man on Planet competition (BMOP). The
competition runs May 1-Oct. 31 and encourages
Heating Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI) wholesaler members to recycle mercury thermostats.
Ferguson HVAC locations are collecting mercury-containing thermostats from HVAC
contractors as they are
removed from service.
Contractors bring the
thermostats to any one
of Ferguson’s 200 participating locations to
be recycled for free.
Wholesalers who collect the most mercury
thermostats during the
competition will be recognized at HARDI’s
annual conference Dec.
5- Dec. 8 in Orlando,
Fla.
According to TRC,
a mercury thermostat
contains at least 1,000
times more mercury
than today’s standard
compact
fluorescent
light bulb (CFL) and
is likely the largest remaining reservoir of
mercury in homes today
with thousands ending up in the trash each
year.
“Ferguson is committed to supporting
Thermostat Recycling
Corporation’s goal of
keeping mercury out
of our landfills and
waterways,” said Bill
Thomasson, Segment
Marketing Manager for
HVAC. “We’re making
it easy for our customers to participate in the
mercury
thermostat
collection by providing
recycling bins at our
HVAC locations across
the country.”
TRC is a non-profit
stewardship organization that facilitates and
manages the collection
and proper disposal of
mercury-containing
thermostats.
Today
more than 3,400 businesses and communities
in 47 states are enrolled
in TRC’s recycling program. Since their founding in 1998, TRC has
collected over 1.7 million mercury-containing thermostats keeping
eight tons of mercury
out of the waste stream.

TechTip: Calibrate Your
Instruments and Tools
How accurate is
your diagnosis? Have
you checked the calibration of your tools lately?
Every instrument and
tool has a tolerance. For
instance, take a gauge
that reads (indicates) 100 psig. If the gauge has a
10% tolerance, the actual pressure could be anywhere from 90 psig to 110 psig. The same concept
applies to temperature measurement devices. The
real problem with tolerances is that if, for example,
your low side gauge could be reading 10% low, and
your high side gauge could be reading 10% high,
then you really don’t know how accurate your readings are.
Calibration The routine measurement of super-
heat or subcooling makes calibration errors worse
because the measurement values are so small. Say
you have a ‘target’ superheat of 10F, yet your temperature tool is reading 10% low and your pressure
gauge is reading 10% high. Your critical final superheat or subcooling measurements will be incorrect. Depending upon whether the measurements
are reading high or low, you may make incorrect
airflow correction or refrigerant charge correction
recommendations. Using high-quality measuring
equipment could mean that the tolerances are much
smaller to begin with, but even top-quality equipment needs to be calibrated periodically. Higher or
lower altitude and such things as rough handling
can result in equipment moving out of calibration.
Some digital equipment automatically compensates
for this dynamic and self-calibrates. Analog equipment most likely does
not.
Not taking the necessary calibration steps
may result in making
repairs that are not appropriate. Worse yet,
you might tell your customer or boss that repairs are needed when
no repairs were truly required at all. Keep your
instruments correctly
calibrated so that when
you take measurements
to assess a system’s performance, your measurements will be tighter, and the likelihood of
an accurate diagnosis
will be greater. Using
high-quality measurement equipment and
keeping it calibrated
leads to confidence in
the accuracy and appropriateness of your
recommendations, and
more effective adjustments and repairs. Everybody wins.

HARDI Emerging Leaders Learn
from Industry Mentors, Speakers
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 29, 2015— Nine respected HVACR industry mentors and other leadership professionals shared their expertise at the Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors
International (HARDI) Emerging Leaders summer
conference last week in Austin, Texas.
“Learning and sharing information with our mentors was the highlight of the week. Being able to have
access to some of the most well-respected HVACR
executives and understanding how they think was a
priceless experience for me,” said Dan Lauterhahn,
vice president of sales for Packard, Inc., who co-leads
a task force that helps shape the program.
The industry mentor panel comprised:
•Frank Alexander (President, Johnstone Supply of
Las Vegas)
•Richard Cook (COO/President, Johnson Supply)
•Wade Ellis (HR Director, Allied Air Enterprises)
•Talbot Gee (CEO, HARDI)
•Royce Henderson (President, Charles D. Jones &
Co.)
•Susan Kirkland (President, Packard, Inc.)
•Mike Meier (Vice President/COO, Meier Supply
Co., Inc.)
•Bud Mingledorff (Owner & Chairman, Mingledorff’s Inc.)
•Tom Roberts (President, cfm Distributors, Inc.)
In addition to the mentoring session, the conference included a speaking engagement with famed
basketball coach Ken Carter, leadership coaching with
trainer Leslie Koch, as well as other hands-on development and networking sessions.
Lauterhahn was one of 75 Emerging Leaders to
attend the event, making it a record-setting number of
attendees – more than a 50 percent increase over the
previous year.
“We’ve added more components to the Emerging Leaders program and we’re finding that our future leaders are valuing it greatly,” said Emily Saving,
HARDI Vice President Professional & Program Development. “In fact, half of our attendees responded to
a survey after the conference and 98 percent of them
said they would attend another Emerging Leaders
event. It’s very encouraging for our industry that our
future leaders are so engaged and dedicated to maximizing their potential.”
HARDI also used the event to launch a new
graduation track for the Emerging Leaders program.
Those in the Emerging Leaders program can complete
a combination of event participation, coursework and
leadership assessments to progress through the program, earning a concrete accolade for their efforts.
Based on feedback, it appears that about two-thirds
of Emerging Leaders plan to opt-in to the graduation
track.

tender age of 3, James was introduced to an electric
car. He quickly mastered the toy and expressed his
desire for more speed. Next was the kid kart, a gas
powered 50cc racing go kart which he would go on
to compete with at the state and national levels as a
5 yr. old in 2013. James impressed many with his
drive and tenacity, always competing at the front for
consistent podium finishes.
This year, James accomplished 3 of 5 podium
finishes in his first Florida Winter Tour Event at just
7 yrs. of age. He closed out the event in 4th Place
overall of 32 of the best drivers from around the
world. James must race older more experienced
drivers, however, nothing seems to deter him.
James maintains his focus and is driven to excel to
the highest level of racing.

CO Detection Research Projects
May Impact Future Requirements Fujitsu Launches
models did activate early at the 70ppm threshold at
10,000 feet and 12,800 feet above sea level.
Based on this information, a proposal to add high
altitude performance test protocols to the ANSI/UL
2034 product standard is currently being reviewed by
the Standards Technical Panel (STP). Once the proposal is approved by the STP, a future compliance will
be established for all carbon monoxide alarms and detectors.
2. Fire Protection Research Foundation (FPRF)
Research Project: The goal of the Fire Protection Research Foundation (FPRF) initiative is to determine
if CO gas is capable of diffusing through solid walls.
This is important since current model codes require
CO detection in or near “sleeping rooms” of newly
constructed one- and two-family dwellings, hotels,
dormitories, apartment buildings, hospitals, and nursing homes that have a permanently installed fuelburning appliance or have an attached “communicating” garage. However, the model codes do not require
CO detection if there are no “communicating openings” between an attached garage and the occupied
areas of the building.
In 2013, an article published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association (JAMA) concluded
that CO is capable of diffusing across single-and
double-layer gypsum wallboard. In 2014, the FPRF
formed a Task Group to review the JAMA report and
to initiate a literature search on studies of CO diffusion through walls. The Task Group also intends to
identify incidents where CO dispersed from an attached garage to occupied areas of a building with no
communicating openings.
Fire Protection Research Foundation (FPRF) published the final report Carbon Monoxide Diffusion
Project and the findings support the recent claim that
CO gas is capable of diffusing through walls at a rate
that presents a danger to building occupants. The report may bring about stricter requirements in the 2018
model codes by removing the “communicating opening” provision. However, additional research may be
needed to effect a change in the 2018 model codes.

it’s important to understand that time is money.
Partnering with Horizon is just another way that
Fujitsu is giving their customers the tools they need
to build strong client relationships and sell more
product.”

Is CO detection an important part of what you do?
There are two research projects that may impact future carbon monoxide product certification and installation requirements: one is an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) initiative and the other is a Fire Protection
Research Foundation (FPRF) initiative.
Here’s some more detailed information about
these initiatives, and how they may have an effect on
future requirements.
1. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Research
Project: The goal of the UL initiative is to determine
if CO detection installed in high altitude applications
(between 5,000 and 12,000 feet above sea level) provides adequate life safety protection. The genesis of
this project actually started in 2009, when Colorado
signed a bill into law requiring CO detection in oneand two-family dwellings and rental properties. Soon
thereafter, several Colorado code authorities became
concerned whether CO alarms or detectors installed
in the Rocky Mountains would work properly. The
reason for their concern is that the current edition of
ANSI/UL 2034 does not contain test protocols to address the performance of CO alarms installed more
than 530 feet above sea level.
Then in 2011, UL formed a Task Group (TG) to
determine if CO alarms installed in altitudes up to
12,800 feet above sea level will activate within the
ANSI/UL 2034 specified alarm thresholds, and requested that UL assess the performance of current CO
alarms by conducting field sensitivity tests in Colorado.
As a direct result, UL collected 28 sample products from retail and internet outlets. The samples
represented variants of the existing certified sensing
technologies and were tested at the UL Northbrook
Illinois facility for normal operation and sensitivity
testing at approximately 560 ft above sea level. The
same samples (and the UL test chamber) were then
shipped to Colorado where a series of sensitivity tests
were conducted at 5,200 ft in Denver and 10,000 feet
in Breckinridge, followed by testing on Mt. Evans at
approx. 12,000 feet.

A&R Supply
Is Now Carrying
GeoStar Geothermal
Heat Pumps
Geothermal units are
similar to ordinary heat
pumps, but use energy
stored just below groundlevel to provide heating,
air conditioning and hot
water. In the winter, heat
is brought in through a
loop, concentrated, and
then delivered throughout the home to utilize
that stored energy. During summer, excess heat
in the home is removed
and put back into the
earth. Because geothermal units use the earth’s
natural heat, they are
among the most efficient
and comfortable heating
and cooling technologies
currently available.
A GeoStar unit can
reduce a homeowner’s
annual costs for heating,
cooling and hot water by
as much as 70 percent,
per year. The GeoStar
line includes the Sycamore Series variable capacity geothermal heat
pump with units available from 3 to 5 tons,
and up to 5.3 COP and
41 EER, making it one
of the most efficient
geothermal heat pumps
available. The single or
dual capacity Aston Series is also available in
multiple sizes and configurations as well as the
dual capacity Magnolia
Plus. Accessories make
the GeoStar brand complete with communicating thermostats, geothermal storage tanks and air
handlers. All units are
AHRI certified and most
are ENERGY STAR
rated.
GeoStar is a leading
manufacturer of residential, commercial, industrial and institutional
geothermal and water
source heat pumps and is
based out of Fort Wayne,
Ind. Complete literature,
product
specifications
and other information is
available at www.geostar-geo.com.
Fort Wayne, IN – GeoStar is pleased to announce
its newest geothermal distributor, A&R Supply. “We
are excited that A&R Supply
has developed a solid geothermal distribution channel
within Miami-Dade County,
and together with the GeoStar line they will be able
to target additional markets
providing greater energy
savings.” said Will Lange
Director of Distributor Sales
for GeoStar.

Rectorseal Honored
With 2015 Dealer
Design Gold Award
For The
Mighty Bracket
The Mighty Bracket 2015 Dealer
Design Gold Winner
RectorSeal® Corp.,
Houston,
a leading
manufacturer of quality
HVAC/R products, recieves a 2015 Dealer Design Gold Award for the
Mighty Bracket™, the
HVAC industry’s first
mini-split installation
support tool. Mighty
Bracket cuts jobsite labor costs by 50-percent
because it reduces evaporator coil mounting and
connecting to a handsfree, single-person task.
The
contractorgrade yellow, patentpending Mighty Bracket
hooks onto both tabs of
a mini-split wall mounting plate in less than
a minute. The Mighty
Bracket securely holds
the mini-split evaporator coil for quick and
easy connections of
electrical, refrigeration
line sets and condensate
drain pumps/hoses. The
20-inch long support
arms are roomy enough
to allow evaporator coils
to be temporarily angled
away from the wall at 23
to 45-degrees for easy
back panel access during installation or servicing.
Afterward,
the
heavy duty, ABS plastic,
reusable bracket needs
no disassembly, but simply folds up for storage
in a compact 28 x 6-inch
black canvas tote bag.
The Mighty Bracket
accommodates
most
mini-split brands and
evaporator weights up to
100-pounds. This product is truly a winner indeed!

The general trend toward downsizing is bringing
about material and refrigerant savings, thanks in a
large part to smaller-diameter, inner-grooved, thinwalled tubes.
Copper tubes with outer diameters of 7 mm, 6.25
mm and 5 mm are now used in residential and commercial air conditioning and refrigeration applications, ranging in size from large condensers for commercial applications to small units for cold vending
machines.
Such smaller-diameter copper tubes first appeared in window-type air-conditioners and evaporator coils for split systems as well as in outdoor condensers for residential applications. Initial manufacturing hurdles have been overcome and such tubes
have now become the industry standard for a wide
range of commercial, industrial, light commercial
and residential air-conditioning, heat pump and refrigeration applications.
Now we can ask “What’s next?” for the industry.
Several new tube technologies were briefly described
in a review paper given at the recent Ohrid Conference on natural refrigerants and also in a presentation at the 2015 ATMOsphere America conference.
For higher-pressure applications, e.g., R744 refrigeration, the tubes, fittings and components must
withstand high pressures. Plain and inner-grooved
seamless tubes and fittings are available in a highstrength copper-iron alloy known as CuFe2P (and
also known as C19400 or CW107C). The alloying
elements are iron, zinc, phosphorus and magnesium.
These alloys allow for a reduction of wall thickness
and hence less material usage. What’s more, existing
machines and tools usually can process these alloys,
and they are perfectly brazeable and weldable. These
alloy tubes can sustain pressures 100 percent higher
than standard ACR tubes. Various sized tubes for
refrigerant distribution typically are rated to handle
pressures up to 120 bar (i.e., 1740 psi or 12 MPa).
Another type of copper tube is made from deoxidized high phosphorus (DHP) copper, which is useful up to pressures of 120 bar, or more, depending on
the tube diameter and tube wall thickness.
The product literature of copper tube suppliers
should be consulted for more information.
To obtain the highest performance from air
conditioners made with small diameter tubes, it is
necessary to apply certain principles to the design
of fin-and-tube heat exchangers, including design
principles for tube-and-fin geometries and spacing,
fin-configuration and tube circuitry.
Research at leading international universities
has resulted in the development of new airside and
refrigerant-side correlations, particularly for 5 mm
MicroGroove tubes.
To make such correlations readily available to
HVAC&R system designers and heat exchanger engineers, the Copper Alliance is working with Optimized Thermal Systems Inc. to implement the newly
developed correlations into CoilDesigner® software,
a proprietary heat exchanger simulation and design
optimization tool developed by the Center for Environmental Energy Engineering (CEEE) at the University of Maryland.
Smaller-diameter MicroGroove copper tubes are
the current benchmark for heat exchanger coils but
are not the final word. Investment in research and
development is ongoing on new copper tube technologies that could enable new levels of heat transfer efficiency and capacity for next generation heat
exchangers.

Milwaukee Extends Hand
Tool Line with Insulation
& Duct Knives
Here is how we stack up
MILWAUKEE, WI- Milwaukee Tool continues to rapidly expand its Hand
Tool offering with the introduction of (3) new knives that are designed to stay
sharper longer in mechanical insulation applications. Engineered for optimal
edge retention and durability, the new offering will consist of a Smooth Blade Insulation Knife, Serrated Blade Insulation Knife, and Duct Knife that stay sharp
up to 5X longer than the current solutions on the market today.
“As we spent time on the jobsite investigating this category, we found that
many users were using kitchen knives to cut insulation because they gave the
user a longer blade, and the ability to sharpen as needed,” says Bobby Shaw, Director of Marketing for Milwaukee Tool. “Our new user-inspired products give
professionals all of the benefits of their current solution, while dramatically improving the quality and durability of a tool that can very quickly get dull blades
in this application.”
Designed primarily for mechanical insulators that are cutting several types
of insulation including fiberglass, mineral wool, foam rubber and styrene, the
new Smooth and Serrated Insulation Knives feature a full tang for maximum
durability and a rounded handle for smoothing applications. For added utility, the
tools have a lanyard hole for tethering and storage, and also come equipped with
a durable blade cover for safe storage.
Designed primarily for HVAC installers, the new Duct Knife is optimized
for cutting duct board, insulation and flex duct. The double edge blade allows the
user to do all of these applications with one product. A full tang adds durability for tough cuts, and a durable sheath allows the user to store the knife safely
between uses.
Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, the new products confirm Milwaukee’s commitment to best-in-class durability and their relentless commitment to
provide innovative, productivity enhancing solutions to core end users.
When it comes to filter bases, nothing
compares to the quality we put into ours. We
have been a leader in the business for more
than 30 years. Whether it’s our flagship, the
Accommodator, or the more economical
Baseline 2.0, you are assured of a product that
is built well, cost competitive and guaranteed.

line of products.
