QairTerminal (by NuClimate)

HVAC

Superior IAQ: HVAC - QairTerminal

THE QAIRTERMINAL, A CEILING-MOUNTED, INDUCED-VENTILATION SYSTEM, WAS DEVELOPED TO ADDRESS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING

COMMON COMPLAINTS OF HVAC SYSTEMS.

• POOR INDOOR AIR QUALITY.

• NOISE.

• MOLD.

• COMFORT.

• ELIMINATE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS.

• ELIMINATE FLOOR SPACE FOR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT.

• REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION.

• INCREASE SECURITY.

• REDUCE DUCT SIZE.

• REDUCE EQUIPMENT CAPACITY NEEDED.

Superior IAQ: HVAC - QairTerminal

• All-surround Q360 Blow 48x48 – 8” Inlet duct size

• All-Surround Q360 Mini 24x24– 6” Inlet duct size– 4” Inlet duct size

• Q1 24x24 One Way Blow

• QLS Linear 48x24, 48x12 One Way

Superior IAQ: NuClimate QairTerminal Models

Superior IAQ: NuClimate All-Surround - Q360

• Costs Significantly Lower Than VAV– Installed Cost 10% Less Than VAV– Operating Cost 17% Less Than VAV

• Ducting Sizes 60% Smaller than VAV Ducting

• Simpler Terminal Design– No Air Balancing of System at Terminals– Less Electrical Wiring - No Fan at Terminal– Less Maintenance - No Moving Parts at Terminal

Geothermal Systems: Hardin Tube

PATENTED HARDIN GEOTHERMAL TECHNOLOGY

USES ONLY ONE TUBE

ENCASED IN A THIN LAYER OF THERMO-CONDUCTIVE GROUT

TODAY’S CONVENTIONAL GEOTHERMAL TECHNOLOGY USES TWO TUBES ENCASED

IN A THICK LAYER OF THERMO-CONDUCTIVE

GROUT

GROUT (GREY)

Hardin Achieves GreaterEfficiency in Three Ways:

1. Greater Heat Transfer Surface Area

2. Thinner Layer of Grout Provides Greater Thermal Transfer Efficiency (Conductivity Between 55F Earth and Water in Tube)

3. Closer Proximity Between In & Out Provides Faster Temperature Equalization
