Rest Easy with Nailor Stealth Terminal Units
Imitated but Never Duplicated
Building engineers, owners, and occupants can rest easy knowing their Nailor Fan Powered Terminal Units provide the best combination of sound, control, and comfort.For over 20 years Nailor has led the industry with the most innovative solutions for VAV systems. The Stealth Design has now been validated as the benchmark and industry is rushing to imitate the design. #flattered
Fan Powered System Selection
When designing a VAV system there are two choices for the fan powered terminal units that condition the exterior of the building; Series and Parallel.
A recent study highlighted in the ASHRAE Journal showed that compared to a PSC motor baseline, choosing a variable speed controlled ECM series fan powered terminal unit can reduce a building HVAC energy usage… Read more
Nailor Position on COVID-19 & Air Cleaning
Date: December 31, 2020 (revised)
There have been multiple papers written by many authorities on Covid-19 and the necessity to clean the air in buildings. Our opinion is that four of the best sources are The Center for Disease Control (CDC), The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) World Health Organization (WHO) and Taylor Engineering’s White Paper. The opinions in this paper are our best assumptions as garnered from those and other sources about the virus. It covers where the virus comes from, where the virus is located in an infected room, the equipment we manufacture, and what is the best action to take to best prevent infections within your building.
Where does the Virus Come From?
All the papers we have read suggest that the virus does… Read more
Air Measuring Damper
Knowing how much air is passing through a duct or entering a building is imperative in many commercial HVAC applications today but being able to control the airflow can be even more important. Throughout the HVAC industry, there already exists many innovative ways of measuring air, such as differential pressure using pitot tubes, anemometers, vortices, electromagnetic flow meters, and calculation based on damper position, yet the industry often turns to accurate and dependable Thermal Dispersion Technology. Offered as an all-in-one unit, the Thermal Dispersion Air Measuring Damper by Nailor is capable of accurately measuring the airflow using thermal dispersion probes and controlling the airflow with an actuator-modulated control damper. Featuring BACnet protocol compliance, the… Read more
Water Source Heat Pump Building Systems: Cooling Tower
In our previous articles we highlighted the benefits, design, energy efficiency, and configurations of water source heat pump technology. Though heat pumps include a refrigeration cycle and air conditioner in one small package, they are only able to do this in cooperation with a few building systems that are critical for removing or delivering heat from/to the heat pump. To remove heat from the units the building system includes a cooling tower, and to add heat a boiler. The tower and boiler are connected to the heat pumps by a common water loop. Just like the numerous configurations of heat pump, there are several different configurations of cooling tower that can be selected for your project.
