Reduced noise, energy consumption
ZIEHL-ABEGG HAS SHOWCASED the new generation of ZAplus fan units which features significantly reduced sound levels and energy consumption.
Chief technical officer, Dr Sascha Klett said these features eliminate the need for additional sound insulation.
“This will please supermarket operators just as much as industrial operators of systems fitted with chillers,” he said.
Klett said the company is calling it a new development because the modifications are of a fundamental nature.
“The experts have once again put their faith in models drawn from the natural world and incorporated a number of biomimetic

aspects into the technical design,” he said. “We are reducing noise by up to four dB(A).” For comparison: six dB(A) represents a doubling
of the noise. This is achieved with the help of a further development of the familiar biomimetic fan blade with a serrated trailing edge.
The previously standard guide vane for the more targeted handling of the airflow (keyword
throw distance) has been fine-tuned: the smaller guide vane now has 17 struts instead of the usual 11. And the spacer ring has been bio- mimetically enhanced.
Klett said technicians will be amazed at the installation dimensions.
The outside dimensions remain standard (1070 millimetres) but the inner diameter is increased from 910 to 960 millimetres.
Also the rotor and blades, which were previ- ously manufactured out of solid aluminium, will now be replaced by a high-strength composite material. Readings taken from a first customer device have shown energy savings of nine per cent, according to Ziehl-Abegg.
Mass production will commence mid-2023.
Quartz shines with 10 star energy rating
HAIER HAS RELEASED Quartz its new range of wall mounted air conditioners.
Quartz offers premium design with UV Protect, Self-cleaning technology and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Haier’s most efficient Australian high wall air conditioner, the Quartz 2.5kW model (AS25QCEHRA) boasts a 10-star energy rating while cooling in a hot climate (energyrating.gov.au).
“THE SELF CLEANING FUNCTION FLUSHES AWAY DIRECT FROM THE EVAPORATOR.”
With recent consumer concern around air- borne germs and viruses, Haier has invested in research and development with a focus on sterili- sation; hygiene features set this model apart.
There are six kW variations – 2.5kW, 3.5kW, 5kW, 6kW, 7.1kW and 9kW making this range suitable for a variety of room sizes.
The UV Protect in Health mode helps to kill airborne pathogens, with anti-bacterial and
anti-viral rates above 91% while UV Protect helps to deliver clean air to your room using Health mode, with built-in LED UV lights that kill airborne Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and the H3N2 virus at more than 91 per cent effectiveness under specific test conditions.
There is a self-cleaning function for continual fresh, clean air.
This function flushes away dirt from the evaporator and reduces the growth of mould and bacteria. This process also cleans the outdoor unit, helping to clear salt and debris that can lead to corrosion.
