KMC Commander Uses Data and Control to Grow a Nursery

Watch how the control-pros  at KMC Controls use the KMC Commander use data and control strategies to help Matsui Nursery become more profitable and productive. This is a great example of using smart building controls technonlgy in a unique way. Congratualtions KMC!  

Located in California’s Salinas Valley, Matsui Nursery is one of the world’s largest potted orchid growers. For over 50 years Matsui has been growing flowers in their 2.8 million square feet facility. Matsui is now facing the challenge of data collection and precise control in their facilities to protect, grow, and maintain their Nursery. KMC Controls partnered with Alvarez Technology Group to mastermind an IoT solution using KMC Commander for collecting real-time data monitoring the conditions for thousands of orchids and protecting them from mechanical and climactic inconsistencies. KMC Commander provided a scalable and easy-to-use solution.

Johnson Controls Introduces the VP140 Series of Pressure Independent Control Valves

The VP140 reduces energy spend and improves tenant comfort

Johnson Controls rounds out it’s already prolific control valve line with the introduction of it’s VP140 line of pressure independent control valves.  The New VP 140 Pressure Independent Control Valves from Johnson Controls Saves Energy and Improves Tenant Comfort
 
In this post, we will take a look at the Johnson Controls VP 140, what makes the VP140 unique, and why pressure independent control valves are a control pros best friend. The video covers all this and more.
Johnson. Controls is not the first controls company to offer pressure independent control valves. If you follow ControlTrends, you know we re big fans of the pressure independent control valves offered by Belimo, Siemens and Honeywell. I have sold all of these brands and all are solid choices.
 
So why the Johnson Controls VP 140?  In my almost 40 years in the controls business ( yes I really am that old) , I have noticed that Johnson Controls might not always be the first out with a new technology, like the VP 140 pressure independent control valve. They tend not to rush a new product. They look for ways to make a technology better. Then they do massive quality testing before the product ever hits the street…..

Belimo’s New Ultrasonic Flow Sensors with Glycol Compensation

‘Fit and forget’ sensors to compensate variable and changing viscosities. The sensors have a rugged design with no moving parts, require no calibration, and provide accurate, repeatable measurements improving the control and efficiency of HVAC systems

Belimo releases new inline flow sensors sizes 2½ to 6” that offer automatic glycol measurement and compensation for optimal system performance. Trusted flow measurement is essential in maximizing HVAC system efficiency and ensuring occupant comfort. Belimo flow sensors utilize ultrasonic technology with glycol compensation to provide accurate and repeatable flow measurements of water and water/glycol mixtures without drift in any HVAC application.

The Belimo flow sensors use two offset transducers (refer to Figure 1) to determine the flow velocity by measuring the speed of sound in the heat transfer fluid. The downstream transit time is measured by passing an ultrasonic pulse from the lower transducer to the upper transducer; the process is then reversed to obtain the upstream time. Transit times differ based on the flow through the sensor tube; the downstream pulse is accelerated, the upstream pulse is impeded and slowed. The ultrasound pulses with the fluid temperature can be used to calculate the kinematic velocity (𝑣𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠) and determine the measured volumetric flow.


flow-sensor-technology

The flow sensors have a patented automatic glycol compensation algorithm that selects the correct fluid properties for the flow and energy calculation eliminating manual input of glycol percentage for sensor setup. The algorithm can be applied to a range of heat transfer fluids, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements. The automatic glycol concentration minimizes drift and provides trusted flow measurement by continuously compensating glycol concentration in a hydronic system.

The Belimo inline flow sensors are an advancement in thermal energy with ultrasonic transit-time technology that automatically measures and compensates glycol concentration. ‘Fit and forget’ sensors to compensate variable and changing viscosities. The sensors have a rugged design with no moving parts, require no calibration, and provide accurate, repeatable measurements improving the control and efficiency of HVAC systems. All flow sensors are wet calibrated to simulate field operation and available with NIST traceable calibration certification. The 2½” to 6” flow sensors now complete the FM series flow sensor offering.

Is Acreto IO a better way to do Cyber Security in Smart Buildings?

We found another great solution at IBcon in Nashville....

Cyber Security in Smart Buildings is top of mind in today’s Building Automation Control Pros. Although there are several cyber security options available,  some of them can be expensive and clunky.
 
We have good news, and possibly a better, after we discovered the different options that Thad Eidman and his team from Acreto IO have available at the 2019 IBcon Smart Buildings Trade show in Nashville.
 
Acreto IO has a new way of thinking about Cyber Security in Buildings and the IOT space and I think you are going to like it.
