CAREL CONTROLS SOUTH AFRICA Carel ’ s presence at FRIGAIR 2022 will be to showcase key advancements in technology aimed at reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency , delivered with higher precision and control . And , with the continued expansion of our IoT capabilities , improving data analytics with full remote control and monitoring .
HVAC Solutions : Green integration : BACS – helping save the world ! However emphatic the title may sound , there are good reasons to believe that BACS ( Building Automation and Control Systems ) in the HVAC market will play a prominent role in reducing the energy used by buildings and their related greenhouse gas ( GHG ) emissions .
Carel ’ s c . pCO controller represents the evolution towards unprecedented networking capabilities for building automation . Thanks to a Multitasking Operating System and the adoption of standard protocols , local and remote connectivity are the key innovation of the new c . pCO system , perfectly positioned for green integration .
Referred to as a ‘ semi-plug-in ’ unit , HeosBox incorporates all the features and benefits derived from a continuous modulation control philosophy , exactly matching cooling output to cooling demand under all load conditions . With solutions also available for use with R290 ( Propane ), HeosBox will be a sustainable high efficiency solution with full IoT connectivity .
MPXone with E2V expansion valves completes the control solution for advanced evaporator control .
And for medium and smaller systems the BOSS family is extended with Mini & Micro supervisors featuring built-in Wi-Fi with easy access from all mobile devices . And , now for the first time ever on a Carel supervisor , BOSS introduces the leading protocol in HVAC supervision applications – BACnet .
Refrigeration Solutions : Responding to the increasing demands for safer , more efficient solutions from retailers , Carel ’ s total refrigeration solution HeosBox is born .
COLCOIL TECHNOLOGIES Given the market demand for complete refrigeration solutions , Colcoil Technologies started development of its compressorised
simplex and multiplex product range in 2019 . The goal was to offer our customers the complete refrigeration system , from plant room to trading floor .
We have added to our extensive fin and tube heat exchanger offering , three standard refrigeration ranges namely Polyplex Racks , Modiplex Packs , and Vertiplex Units . These product ranges complimented our existing Miniplex and Aqualoop energy-efficient systems that make use of Carel HECU and HEOS systems , respectively .
Only the highest quality components and electrical switchgear is used , and various compressor and controller options are available on request . All frames and casings are powder coated galvanised steel , with weatherproof and indoor options available .
Our equipment is built in Africa , for Africa . Its modular design is engineered to be robust , and all ranges include voltage protection to protect against power surges during rolling blackouts .
To-date we have supplied our full system solutions to many of the top retailers in South Africa and neighbouring countries , as well as various agricultural and processing plants .
The logical next step was to evolve to natural refrigerants , and in June 2021 Colcoil released its CO₂ Transcritical range of racks with a CO₂ gas cooler range to follow in the coming months .
