IN HVACR
INNOVATION,
PRODUCTS AND
TECHNOLOGIES
The 2019 AHR Expo will preview the future of the
HVACR industry with exhibitors from around the globe
coming together to showcase new and upgraded products,
technologies and innovations. Held Jan. 14-16, 2019, at the
Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, it is the industry’s
best place to gain insight into what’s coming in the year
ahead.
Exhibitors will be displaying new solutions that serve
every kind of HVACR function ranging from highly efficient
equipment and components to whole building management
systems, including building automation and control
technologies that connect and communicate via the Internet
of Things (IoT), time-saving tools and instruments that
require less time at the job site, and a myriad of products and
solutions that support the efficiency evolution. Attendees are
encouraged to utilize the searchable directory of exhibitors
and product categories prior to show attendance for more
information on each exhibitor showcase.
Show visitors can look forward to seeing the very latest
HVACR products available on the market today, including:
● IAQ diagnostic instruments that guide HVAC professionals
through the entire measurement process for more
accurate true reads and more timely detection of air
quality issues — designed to eliminate guesswork,
improve sales and enhance IAQ expertise across the
industry.
● An evacuation hose delivering a conductance speed of 16
CFM at 1,000 microns, resulting in vacuum speeds up to
80 times faster than standard one-quarter inch I.D. hoses
and up to 6 times faster than other vacuum-rated hoses.
● A software application that supports HVAC professionals
via a downloadable iOS and Android mobile app that
can be used to create on-site customer reports and is
inclusive of graphical data and airflow grades based on
the simple input of nameplate information and two static
pressure values.
● A water-cooled centrifugal chiller that supports low
Global Warming Potential (GWP) via improvements
in compression and integration of variable speed
technologies – specifically designed to meet customer
demand, lower energy costs and reduce environmental
impact.
● A fabric air duct system that improves end air
dispersion, designed to replace traditional ductwork,
insulation, diffusers and air valves with more even
airflow that results in better energy efficiency, lowered
operation costs, as well as easy installation and product
maintenance.
● An industry-first press tool – designed specifically
for residential installations – that improves press
speeds up to 40 percent and delivers force optimized
PEX installations for less job site down time caused by
calibration intervals.
● A water security system designed for leak monitoring
and detection that can be configured to manage
whole-house protection, or installed to monitor specific
appliances. Alerts are managed via SMS texts based on
sensitive sensor detection capabilities.
● An internet-enabled wireless thermometer that uploads
and stores temperature readings on the cloud and has
the ability to send automatic alerts for extreme low
or high readings directly to the user’s phone or tablet,
and can store up to 12 months of data for efficiency
evaluations throughout the year.
Attendees are also invited to sit in on free exhibitor
presentations and demonstrations of product launches in the
New Product & Technology Theater. For further information
