5 interesting facts about HVAC

By -

Being relatively new to the world of HVAC, it was news to me that Air Conditioning doesn't actually create cold air, but removes the heat from warm air. While ignorance is bliss (and often embarrassing), I felt it was time to do a little research into the field I supposedly work in!

 Here's a collection of cool facts I've come across about the HVAC industry.

 5 interesting facts about HVAC

  1. The Industry actually dates back to the 2nd Century - A Chinese man named Ding Huan supposedly invented the first (sort of) air conditioning system. Unfortunately for him, it was manually powered so didn't really catch on at the time..
  2. .. that being said, the 'father of modern air conditioning' title is actually held by a Willis Carrier, who came up with the blueprint for the first AC system at the age of only 26!
  3. Those in need of a break will be jealous to hear that in the days before AC, it wasn't uncommon for schools and business to close for month long periods during the summer.
  4. The world of Cinema thrived in the early 1900's thanks to Air Conditioning. After its introduction into movie theaters around 1925, the uncomfortable environment people were used to in the summertime became a thing of the past and cinemas became a hotspot to escape the heat - as well as to watch films of course! 
  5. The Romans pioneered the method of hot-air heating (much to the delight of Stefano, our native Roman managing director!)

CAREL and the dreaded 'NO LINK' Screen!

CAREL and the dreaded 'NO LINK' Screen! Picture the scene, you've just downloaded a fresh new piece of software onto a controller but rather than the a new interface, you're met with a big fat 'NO LINK' message on the display. Or maybe you've just ran a factory reset to default settings and have come up against the same issue?  These are all possible causes for the common problem encountered by many of our customers, deemed the 'NO LINK' screen! (capitals for emphasis) As well as the two already mentioned, other common causes of the issue are a result of: A faulty connection between the Controller and the Display A faulty Controller  In any case, this issue is relatively simple to fix and our Managing Director, Stefano - having been in the Industry for 15+ years - has put together a video guide on how to do so. Watch the video below to see how to overcome the dreaded 'NO LINK' Screen!   www.i-acs.co.uk

For those who think that the new generation of innovative, automated HVAC control systems are a far-off thought, think again!  The new c.pCO Range by CAREL marks the arrival of their most intelligent range of controllers yet. Despite their compact design, the c.pCO Controllers are packed with new and exciting technologies offering a highly integrated solution to any kind of BMS System.  The versatile nature of the new standard controller (2 Ethernet, USB & RS485 Inputs Built In) opens doors to a wide range of communication protocols such as Modbus, BACNet,  HTTP, FTP  and loads more. The video below offers a detailed look into the new features and benefits of the c.pCO range. Worried about having to do a lot of work to replace older controllers? As if this wasn't enough, all c.pCO Controllers offer pin-to-pin compatibility with pCO5+, pCO5 and pCO3 controllers.  Get in touch now for more information! Peter Campbell Marketing

1tool is the development system for the Carel programmable control platform, consisting of six different environments in which the designer manages the application software in all its different stages: from design to simulation, to testing and debugging, to arrive at commissioning in the field. A fundamental feature of 1tool is integration. Because all the different environments are interconnected to best support development of the application software. Each environment is in fact dedicated to the realisation of a specific function and interacts with the others to offer the designer: -  Greater reliability thanks to real-time error notifications in the design stage; - Reduced development time using the advanced functions offered, first and foremost the new libraries of functional modules specific for HVAC/R; -  Flexibility in terms of software customisation. All these features, an intuitive graphic interface and user simplicity make 1tool an excellent product, responding to th
