Products WELL COUPLED Available in a variety of configurations, SKF’s range of Disc Couplings provide affordable, lubrication-free service in medium to high torque applications that require torsional rigidity. These innovative Couplings feature two hubs and a laminated stainless-steel disc pack secured by a series of fitted bolts retained by nylon insert lock nuts. With a capacity range up to 178kNm in a variety of configurations including single disc, double disc and spacer for both horizontal and vertical mounting, these Couplings deliver several benefits to a vast selection of applications. SKF Disc Couplings encompass hub pilot bores to simplify boring to requirements. This brings cost effective high performance to a range of applications and industries that use direct drive fan drives, pumps and compressors, refrigeration (compressors) and marine.

UP THE ANTE Carel’s range of pCO programmable controllers for the management of HVAC/R applications and systems has been extended with the addition of High-Speed controllers providing a faster response to the efficiency of HVAC/R systems which translates into faster unit set-up. The calculation speed of the pCO5+ HS means it can respond more quickly and precisely to variations in the main unit input values (temperature, pressure, humidity, etc.). pCO5+ HS guarantees compatibility with the entire range of pCO3 and pCO5 controllers, in terms of both hardware and software. Furthermore, Carel can be used to load the binary files onto the new pCO5+ HS. The pCO5+ HS makes the controller ideal for: • Chillers • Process chillers • Data centres For more information, contact +27 (0) 11 805 1558. COOLING EVEN FURTHER In order to satisfy the increasing market requirements of electrical energy requirements in data centres, ebm-papst has developed the tried-and-tested series of RadiCal centrifugal fans further. By employing computer-aided optimisation methods, the new RadiCal achieves efficiency of 68.5% at an air flow of 13 000 m³/h. The new impeller is made of glassfibre-reinforced polypropylene, the outer diameter and installation height have remained the same - ensuring that the tight installation space in the air conditioners is utilised to best effect. ebm-papst products with GreenIntelligence have IoT capability and can be interconnected with any system. The power electronics integrated into the EC motors meet requirements of a 0–10V control signal or via Modbus RTU. Fans are available for all common line voltages and frequencies in sizes 310 and 630. For more information, contact +27 (0) 21 555 4547. www.hvacronline.co.za RACA Journal I August 2020 55
