Aspen Manufacturing, LLC (Aspen), one of the largest independent manufacturers of evaporator coils and air handlers for the residential and commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) marketplace in the United States and Canada, announces the introduction of the new AED and AEU family of electric heat air handlers designed for manufactured housing installations.

The new upflow and downflow AED/AEU air handlers are designed and engineered for optimal performance in air conditioning and heat pump applications. These units stand out with their one-piece cabinet design, offering reduced weight and increased rigidity. With a low-leakage cabinet design and a larger coil area, they accommodate high-efficiency (taller) evaporator coils, meeting performance requirements in copper and aluminum tube coil designs while maintaining overall cabinet dimensions. These new units are AHRI certified with all major OEM condenser brands, meet the requirements of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) 25C rebates, and come with a five-year limited warranty with registration.

Additional features and benefits of the new and enhanced AED/AEU units include:

  • One-piece cabinet, reducing time and effort when converting airflow orientation in the field
  • Option for field-installed or factory-installed heat kits available
  • Rail-mounted blower assembly is easily removed for service
  • Electrical access on both sides of the cabinet
  • Redesigned control panel for improved interface to wiring and components
  • Sloped coil shelf for optimal condensate management

“At Aspen, we’re constantly working to develop new products and to enhance our existing products to ensure that we offer customers the highest quality possible,” said Riley Archer, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Aspen. “The new AED/AEU units offer outstanding features for easier installation, enhanced operation, and routine maintenance.”

Order dates and lead times for the new AED/AEU units are available from your local Aspen sales representatives.”

RectorSeal, a leading manufacturer of quality HVAC/R and plumbing tools and accessories, introduces GulfCoat Spray Applied Corrosion Coating – Gallon. GulfCoat Corrosion Coatings products, manufactured by Modine Coatings, provide outstanding corrosion protection from salt spray, UV rays, humidity, and other potentially harmful elements that can cause premature failure of HVAC system coils.

Available in Blue and Clear, GulfCoat Spray Applied Corrosion Coating is water-based and environmentally friendly. GulfCoat sprays evenly without concern for excessive buildup or oversaturation, which can clog vital portals and air passages and reduce the system’s energy efficiency. When correctly applied, GulfCoat products penetrate coil fins deeply to provide outstanding protection. After application, a smooth, high-gloss finish limits the damaging effects of dirt and debris buildup on the coil, allowing for easy, routine equipment cleaning.

“By adding a convenient gallon-size of GulfCoat Corrosion Coating to our lineup, we provide customers with flexibility and another way to protect HVAC coils and equipment effectively,” said Karina Eureste, Product Marketing Manager at RectorSeal. “Now it’s easier than ever to have long-lasting protection for projects of any size.”

Mueller Steam is helping facility engineers detect when strainer maintenance is needed to prevent production downtime. New differential pressure monitoring technology now comes standard on our duplex strainers and is optional on our wye strainers.

With the purchase and activation of an add-on connection kit, the pre-installed pressure sensors at the inlet and outlet of the strainer monitor the pressure drop that occurs over time when a strainer screen becomes clogged by foreign particles.

Alerts are triggered via an existing BMS connection or cellular gateway when the strainer basket is 75% full and 100% full.

These sensors do not change the operation of the strainer – they still comply with all the necessary certifications and do not interfere with the normal function of the strainer.

“This is the first smart strainer technology of its kind,” says Jennifer Carlino, Sr. Product Manager at Mueller Steam Specialty. “Facility engineers will now be able to perform strainer maintenance proactively, rather than reactively, which will help protect costly equipment from damage as well as maintain consistent flow and efficient system performance.”
