MINNEAPOLIS – January 25-27, 2010; AHR Show, Booth # 2716 – McQuay today announces that it has extended the company’s expertise in 100 percent outdoor air from its applied rooftops to its premier line of Maverick II commercial rooftop systems. The new optimized Maverick II rooftop system provides building owners with unmatched room temperature control and comfort through the use of modulating hot gas reheat and precise controls.
“What makes the new Maverick II unit stand out is that its high level of control for room temperature comfort is unmatched in the industry,” said Steve VanPeursem, product manager for the Maverick line at McQuay. “The unique control comes from multiple stages of cooling along with modulating reheat, which can provide a 20 degree reheat temperature rise during the dehumidification operation. This allows for the proper moisture removal for the building design.”
The new functionality includes integrated compressor and reheat control that automatically energizes the reheat whenever dehumidification is needed, without using additional energy. The modulated hot gas reheat control feature reduces fluctuations in air temperature and humidity levels, helping to ensure a consistently comfortable environment, which makes it ideal for use in healthcare facilities, schools, hotels and office buildings. By using micro-channel coils in the reheat design, more Btu per square foot of coil is achieved and less refrigerant charge is used, which minimizes maintenance and omits the need for receivers.
“The engineers at McQuay are experts at managing outside air,” said Don Winter, vice president of marketing at McQuay. “The extension of 100 percent outdoor air to the Maverick II was a natural next step in continuing to bring new innovations to the market. Now customers have a trusted and proven system that they can rely on that is optimized for 100 percent outdoor air.”
Winter continued on to state that McQuay was one of the first manufacturers to offer 100 percent outdoor air solutions in its applied rooftop units. This new option expands McQuay’s existing Maverick II line – the company’s most popular rooftop system – and incorporates a new set of functionality into a smaller 15 to 75 ton system.
Maverick II commercial rooftop systems continue the McQuay legacy of environmental responsibility by operating with R-410A refrigerant, which has no ozone depletion potential and no phase-out schedule. The rooftop unit helps owners qualify for LEED® Green Building Rating System certification through optimizing energy efficiency, reducing refrigerant volume, and enhanced refrigerant management.
The Maverick II rooftop system, configured for 100 percent outdoor air, is optimized to work with Daikin VRV systems, McQuay water source heat pump systems, as well as other packaged rooftop systems from McQuay for a complete solution.
