More comfort at less energy consumption. It seems like a contradiction, but practice proves it can be done!
"Every day HVAC renovation projects are delivered that offer noticeably improved comfort and healthier indoor air, while at the same time achieving significant thermal and electrical energy savings," says Richard Daamen, Managing Director of Belimo Servomotoren BV. "Our innovative techniques play a key role in this and transform 'gray' HVAC installations into 'green' climate systems. Without major modifications and high costs, making sustainability for every building within reach. Curious about how we do this? Then visit our booth during VSK 2024!"
"Popular measures to reduce energy consumption are insulation, heat pumps and solar panels," Daamen knows. "But 'retrofitting' control ball valves and actuators in HVAC installations can also yield substantial savings. In many existing buildings, the HVAC installations are outdated," he says. "Often the installations are designed differently than their modern successors. Moreover, we regularly see that valves no longer close (properly), causing continuous flow of air and/or water. Even when this is not desired, causing comfort and noise complaints and unnecessarily wasting energy."
Small components, big impact
Because insight into installations is often lacking, Belimo invariably starts with measurement. "By placing smart and dynamic field components in the main line of the HVAC installation, we can see exactly where water is flowing properly through the installation and where energy is being lost," says Daamen. "Here an important role is played by our newest Belimo Energy Valve™ 4.0. Based on the measurement data, poorly performing valves and/or actuators in the installation can be easily traced and replaced," he says. "For example, with our RetroFIT+ control ball valves and actuators, which are 100% tight and provide correct (in)control and flow. As a result, comfort increases, desired temperature differences are once again achieved and energy consumption is reduced to a minimum. Without drastic adjustments to the piping. At VSK 2024 we will show on a large demo screen how Belimo RetroFIT+ works."
PreFIX prefab modules
Following on from the RetroFIT+ products, the Belimo booth will focus on PreFIX (formerly: Customized Products), where air and water-side products are pre-assembled as prefab modules. But also education and training, so that HVAC installers, system integrators and consultants can keep up with all the developments.
