Comprehensive portfolio of energy-efficient products for HVAC market

The 40th Mostra Convegno Expocomfort trade show, to be held March 15 to 18, 2016 in Milan, will give Siemens a platform for presenting its comprehensive portfolio of energy-efficient products for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) market. As a single-source supplier, the Siemens Building Technologies Division will exhibit a broad palette of products and solutions under its trade show motto "Power up your efficiency," including powerful products for HVAC systems, compact and communicative field devices, the intelligent Climatix IC remote servicing system, and the innovative Desigo CC building management platform.

A special focus for Siemens at Mostra Convegno will be its digitalized solutions and systems for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). "The Climatix IC remote servicing system and our communicative field devices for HVAC plants give our OEM customers the opportunity to set up efficient workflows during the design, manufacturing and commissioning phase. They also save time and money during operation and maintenance," explains Reiner Werner, Head of Field Devices & OEM at Building Technologies. "By boosting the productivity and flexibility of our OEM customers and affording them greater efficiency and more time for their business, we give them a significant head start in their economic and ecological competitiveness."

At Mostra Convegno 2016, Siemens will show its innovative cloud-based remote servicing system for heating, ventilation and air conditioning plants. This solution continuously collects all important process and plant data over the entire life cycle and stores it in a central location. This information not only makes it possible to analyze system status, reliability and efficiency but also to prepare diagnostics, optimize values and perform upgrades – by remote access and without requiring a technician on site. Climatix IC now also provides a geographical overview of all connected systems and the status of each. This gives technicians a quick overview and allows them to set priorities and plan pending service calls efficiently. Climatix IC offers customers superior flexibility, promotes efficient servicing of supported systems and simultaneously cuts the costs per service call.

Building Technologies rounds out its range of communicative products for HVAC plants with an array of new field devices.

• The Climatix Controllers 400 and 600 are embedded in a flexible, scalable hardware concept and come with preloaded and tested applications for use in less complex HVAC plants. For more complex plants, this automation solution is available as a freely programmable option. Special software supports OEMs engineering, plant programming and commissioning.
• The new communicative actuators for air dampers and control ball valves make production more efficient for OEMs: Wiring work and risk of errors are minimized, with no need for time-consuming troubleshooting of the equipped HVAC plant.
• As yet another key HVAC plant component, the comprehensive Symaro range features precise and robust sensors for temperature, CO2, pressure and humidity for more energy-efficient operation.

The new 6-way control ball valves, which Siemens will debut at Mostra Convegno, represent an important addition to its Acvatix valve family. Because of its special design, a 6-way control ball valve replaces four conventional valves (including actuators) and, thanks to a single actuator, occupies only one data point. Less effort for installation, commissioning and cabling as well as decreased space requirements significantly reduce the complexity of the plant and result in lower costs.

Finally, Siemens will also highlight its Desigo CC building management platform, which consolidates the management of all building disciplines in a single system. Thanks to a number of supported communications protocols, including BACnet, SNMP, Modbus, SSL and OPC, third-party products are easily integrated into the open platform. The flexible and intuitive user interface can be customized as needed and adapted to the roles, rights and language of each user. The platform offers powerful analytics which greatly facilitates troubleshooting, error correction and performance optimization of specific disciplines. In addition, a new Desigo CC app offers mobile remote access to building automation and alarm management.
