15 Oct Full HVAC Integration Suite offered through Toshiba, AHI Carrier and Iritron Partnership
15 October 2024: With more than twenty years’ experience in electrical engineering, electronics and systems integration, Iritron have partnered with leading HVAC suppliers, Toshiba and the AHI Carrier Group, to provide users with a full suite of integration options from a single source.
“Whether it’s an underground or specialised surface mining environment, food processing and distribution network, pharmaceutical or medical application, complex cool room or chiller application, or simply creating and maintaining a climate controlled work environment for employees, Iritron’s technical expertise provides an integrated HVAC solution, “ states Rudolph Schonborn, Quality & Service Manager at Iritron.
By using the latest technical innovations and proprietary hardware from industry leaders, Iritron can easily integrate AI, internet based communications, remote monitoring, activation and alarm and alert functions with Binary Runtime Format (BRF) and Infrared Thermography (IRT) technologies, for any complementary HVAC application.
Typically these include VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) gas installations, Hybrid Package Units, Split Unit Installations, Refrigeration and Specialised HVAC Solutions.
The latest Toshiba and the AHI Carrier Group HVAC hardware has been designed as cutting edge solutions that provide performance matched with low energy requirements and environmental compliance to the latest international EuroVent standards.
Coupling these technologically advanced units to Iritron’s integration systems further enhances energy savings, smooth control – with pin-point accuracy, the highest levels of efficiency and lowest energy consumption resulting in consistently low operating costs. The integration of the latest technical innovations support remote operation, monitoring and trouble shooting, on-line status analysis and alarm alerts, all bundled into intuitive software dashboards easily understood by plant personnel.
Hybrid systems are particularly specified for critical applications including Iritron’s own containerised remote mining products where temperature control is crucial and a careful humidity balance must be maintained between wet and dry atmospheres. Typical examples include sub-stations where personnel access is limited. Packaged hybrid systems are also available with remote condenser location and operate with smooth, precise control and reduced noise levels compared to traditional installations.
VRF – Variable Refrigerant Flow
This advanced refrigeration gas technology enables the ability to vary the refrigerant gas temperature and flow to various parts of a building, cooling areas only where required, reducing refrigeration load with a commensurate reduction of energy and cost. The system can be programmed for seasonal variations or even daily conditions where different parts of a building are warmed as the sun ‘travels’ throughout the day. By programming and monitoring differences between indoor and outside temperatures, ideal capacity ratios can be achieved.
In addition to significant cost savings over traditional air-conditioning systems, VRF provides a longer component lifespan due to advanced oil management, avoiding over compression, higher quality materials and reduced noise levels during operation. Experts point out that noise is a waste of energy!
These drying rooms do not accommodate Toshiba equipment.
Capturing waste heat generated in HVAC systems is also a speciality from Iritron where the inclusion of hot water modules can reduce hot water heating costs by as much as 73%.
“In a specialised application, we have developed a biltong trailer mounted drying room, where precise climate control ensures just the right amount of moisture is removed from the meat to ensure a perfect taste! This system can be adapted where any form of precise temperature and humidity control is required such as flowers markets, “ says Rudolph Schonborn, Quality & Service Manager at Iritron.
Iritron’s integrated systems can be installed for both new and retrofitted to existing HVAC systems to provide absolute control and monitoring of performance, environmental compliance and lowest energy and operating costs of any HVAC system.
