Commercial HVAC OEM & Retrofit
Commercial buildings in the US consume close to 300B kWh annually for space cooling according to Energy Information Administration, equating to over 25% of the total energy load required by commercial buildings. Microstaq’s Silicon Expansion Valve (SEV) and Super Heat Controller (SHC) based superheat control system improves not only energy efficiency in commercial HVAC applications, but increases compressor life as well. Tight, repeatable superheat control ensures that liquid does not reach the compressor, while also increasing efficiency of the evaporator. Simply put: precise super heat control helps the compressor run less, increases system efficiency, and prolongs system life.
OEM
Microstaq’s super heat control system made up of a SEV and SHC (or Thermal Super Heat Controller (TSHC)) can be designed into commercial HVAC systems. This solution runs independently across all conditions and can communicate with a central controller. Because of the flexibility and adaptability of the valve and controller, system design cycles and testing time can be reduced. In addition, higher SEER/IEER and environmentally sound systems can be developed. Ideal commercial HVAC applications include:

Retrofits
Microstaq’s HVAC Retrofit Kit can be installed in less than an hour by a contractor, increasing the efficiency and extending the life of existing commercial chiller and RTU systems. Government buildings, hotels, big box retailers, and schools can all benefit from the lower operating costs and reduced peak load as a result of this simple retrofit process.
