The FLUE-Mate analyzer can generate a QR code you scan with your smart device for a quick analysis report. You need no Bluetooth connection. All readings and other information gathered are put onto your smart device with a quick scan of the code. A free, downloadable app allows the user to save and share reports.

FLUE-Mate’s water trap and filter assembly is always designed to be upright and easy to see. You always know when to change the filter or empty the trap and keep your FLUE-Mate protected.

The automatic pump shut-off feature stops flow when a high level of CO is detected. This saves wear on the CO sensor, saving customers an expensive repair bill.

Another of the Innovation Award Winners is HVAC Manufacturing and Technology Inc. for their SAV® – Smart Air Valve. You can see this product on display at AHR Expo in booth S9220.

The SAV-Smart Air Valve is a commercial product that can provide an economical self-commissioning air control solution. It features a 100-to-1 turn-down and has a precision airflow accuracy within a few CFM, operating as low as .03-in. WG.

This product matches the ventilation rate to the hazard risk, featuring advanced Demand Control Ventilation & low energy use intensity with a single unit size. The SAV® uses Variable Orifice Plate Technology to solve the complex problem of measuring a fluid accurately over a wide dynamic range.

This innovation allows control companies/system integrators to supply and warranty zone-level devices as part of their scope of work, optimize their software/network architecture with self-balancing flexibility, eliminate garbage in garbage out data, and mitigate risk for the life cycle of the building.

The manufacturer says the SAV-Smart Air Valve transforms infrastructure into a user-centric, healthy, flexible space without mechanical infrastructure upgrades.
