Daikin Announces Daikin ATMOSPHERA
with R-32 Refrigerant.
 The
first single zone system with R-32 in North America features
impressive efficiency gains while reducing emissions vs.
R-410A
For the first time in North America, Daikin is launching a
home comfort product featuring R-32, a refrigerant with
one-third the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of the most
common refrigerants currently being used in the United
States and Canada.
The new Daikin ATMOSPHERA
system featuring R-32 refrigerant from Daikin North America
LLC is a powerful, new single-zone system that has a lower
GWP, is more efficient and may help lower end-user electric
bills compared to R-410A models.
Daikin has sold over 33 million R-32
systems in more than 100 countries and regions.

NORTEK GLOBAL HVAC Introduces the
W-Series Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Equipment.
The W-Series completes Nortek’s redesign of Gibson, NuTone
and Frigidaire branded residential and light commercial air
conditioning and heat pump equipment.
 Nortek
Global HVAC, a leading manufacturer of HVAC equipment,
introduces the W-Series of air conditioning and heat pump
equipment for residential and light commercial applications.
The introduction completes the
final phase of an overall redesign of Gibson®, NuTone® and
Frigidaire® branded 1.5 to 5-ton, single-phase air
conditioning units and heat pumps. The redesign began with
introductions of the premium F-Series in 2017, the mid-range
E-Series in 2018 and now culminates with the
economically-priced W-Series in 2019. The redesign offers
contractors a “good-better-best” strategy that accommodates
any consumer price range and feature requests backed by
Nortek’s renowned reliability and contractor technical and
marketing support.
The W-Series’ air conditioning (WSA) is
available in 13, 14 and 16-SEER models and the heat pump (WSH)

SuperSleeve Expedites Mini-Split AC
Installations
 The
SuperSleeve saves time, money and labor when retrofitting
any brand or model of wall-mounted ductless mini-split
evaporators in residential and commercial buildings.
Designed and developed by Marketair’s engineering
department, the patent-pending, SuperSleeve eliminates the
need for a second jobsite technician or a temporary support
bracket to hold the evaporator in place during a retrofit
installation. The 3-inch-diameter (I.D.) (7.5-cm)
SuperSleeve is flanged on both ends for a tight, secure fit
and telescopes from 6 to 12-inches (15 to 30-cm) to
accommodate most wall thicknesses.
The SuperSleeve design goes beyond conventional wall sleeves
and features an innovative integral positive slope guide for
the condensate drain hose. Although the sleeve is installed
level, the drain hose guide sill ensures a 3/8-inch (9.5-mm)
downward pitch away from the evaporator to promote correct
drainage. The hose compartment at the bottom of the sleeve
holds standard insulated 5/8-inch (16-mm) condensate hose
securely in place to ensure the pitch.
SuperSleeve is available direct or through
most wholesale HVAC distributors throughout North America.

Advanced modulating technology in new
Champion® LX Series 16 SEER heat pump contributes to lower
operating costs.
 Available
this April, the new Champion® LX Series 16 SEER/9.0 HSPF
heat pump from Johnson Controls features advanced modulating
technology proven in Champion’s five-year accelerated test
facility and more than 215,000 hours of research.
The unit’s ability to adjust
its operating capacity provides quiet, efficient operation
as it adjusts heating and cooling levels up or down to
provide only what is actually needed to condition the space.
This provides more even temperatures and lower operating
costs.
Reducing compressor speed
and decreasing airflow also allows the system to operate
longer without drastically over-cooling the space, improving
dehumidification. In colder weather, a demand defrost
feature minimizes heat pump operation, removing frost on the
outdoor coil far more effectively than time methods.
Contractors will appreciate easy access to commonly serviced
items, a sturdy fan guard, smooth edges that allow for
easier handling and a compact footprint for easy hand
trucking and placement on site. The unit also features
Champion’s new fee-free, one-year labor limited warranty and
is available in early 2016.

EcoNet's IOT Wireless HVAC Vent
Receives SmartThings Approval.
EcoNet Controls of Clearwater
Florida, a manufacturer of Home Automation Devices, has
received the "Works with SmartThings" stamp of approval for
its EV100 series of Z-Wave HVAC vents. A basic configuration
of EcoNet's wireless vents and a SmartThings controller adds
convenience and improved HVAC comfort and efficiency to the
standard home. The EV100 joins a growing list of IOT devices
that are compatible with SmartThings.
Although the EV100 is
certified by the Z-Wave Alliance, it is a unique device that
currently does not fit into any of the standard device
categories. Because of this, changes were required in the
way it communicates to the SmartThings controller. As an
official partner, EcoNet worked closely with SmartThings in
creating a custom driver for the EV100. The EV100 works with
most standard Z-Wave controllers but it works especially
well with SmartThings.
EcoNet's HVAC Vents/Registers are direct
replacements for vents in the standard North American home
that uses a forced air system. Installation and setup is
simple and takes only a few minutes. The vents are available
in several sizes and styles. A properly configured system
can reduce HVAC cost from 10% to 20%.
