We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "HVAC (Heating and Ventilating)",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Customised temperature measurement is flexible from
Baumer Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "Mechanical and electronic temperature measuring systems have flexibility in stem diameter and length, temperature range or process connection for customized systems".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Motors are 75% shorter and 90% lighter from
Delta Line Europe UK: "Fat brushless DC motors maximize speed while minimizing size and vibration in rigorous medical and automation applications".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Ashtead Technology Rentals
concerning its Gas detectors
- take a look at Toxic and hazardous gases detected
which says: "A new fleet of instruments from Ashtead Technology Rentals is designed to detect toxic and hazardous gases in drains and underground cavities".
Take a look also at the news release from Honeywell Control Systems, Variable speed drives have IP21 protection,
as well as Infrared cameras give 'razor sharp' images from Flir Systems,
and Airflow simulation protects stored medicines from Flomerics.
