PULSE CINEMAS PRESENTS AIRZONE
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR FOR HVAC FROM AIRZONE
Pulse Cinemas is excited to present another new brand to its family in the form of Airzone, a global player in the HVAC world that allows simple control of AC and heating from the same interface. Tom Hawes, Technical Sales Manager, takes up the story.
There are some strong players in the world of HVAC helping installers create and integrate modern, controllable AC and heating systems. So why have Pulse teamed up with Airzone?
Kapes Patel, our COO, explains, “Well, we strongly believe the company is bringing something new to the market and the solutions we are going to be offering are tailor-made for our sector.
“We showcased the new brand at the recent EI Live! Show and the reaction was great, dealers recognised a product that fits perfectly into their world and allows them to confidently add a full heating and aircon service to their portfolio.”
Airzone belongs to Corporación Empresarial Altra, a business group focused on the research, development and production of innovative products designed to boost comfort and rationalise energy consumption globally. All the company’s products have been designed and created at company HQ in Spain from a location in the Andalusia Technology Park (Malaga) since 1997. The company has a strong presence in the United States, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, United Arab Emirates, Spain, Jordan, Kuwait, Mexico, Portugal, and has now partnered with Pulse Cinemas to begin its journey in the UK market.
The company’s wide range of products allows installers to create new AC and heating systems, but also retrofit control onto even the oldest AC units. The world of integration has been turned on its head with the appearance of Airzone’s Aidoo range. This includes a collection of devices that make it possible to integrate different HVAC equipment, whether modern or old, into home automation and building management systems. These devices can be controlled remotely from a smart phone or other home automation control points.
Aidoo Wi-Fi, fastest and easiest way to add Wi-Fi control to an Inverter/VRF HVAC application
Aidoo does not require integration with code, which frees installers from hours of work and complications. It is an easy to install, and, depending on its model, fulfills the objective of one type of air conditioning or another.
Aidoo Wi-Fi: is the Airzone device that allows remote control of direct expansion and aerothermal equipment, either through a smart phone using the Airzone Cloud app or from voice assistants. It can be integrated with the Modbus and API port.
Aidoo Pro: allows the integration of air conditioning in building management systems through: Modbus port, using a specific communication language; local API, integrating the various Airzone drivers available for Fibaro, Lutron, Control4; and cloud API using the Internet. It is used for direct expansion air conditioning units.
Aidoo Pro Fan coil: makes it possible the integration of all types of fan coil equipment in Building Management Systems. It integrates through BACnet, Modbus, local API, and API Rest ports.
Aidoo KNX: this is a solution that allows the integration of HVAC control in KNX. It is configured via KNX or ETS.
Aidoo Z-Wave: offers to incorporate the complete control of heat pumps from Z-Wave systems. It can be integrated via Modbus port or local API.
Another attractive and useful point of control can be offered by the Airzone Blueface touchscreen thermostat, the company’s most high-performance and fully functioned wall mounted controller. The unit offers an attractive full colour graphic interface with 3.5in IPS capacitive display and 24-bit resolution. Other wall mounted control options include the Airzone Think, which delivers an e-ink graphic interface with front light and polarizing filter complete with electronic capacitive sensors. Lastly the Airzone Light is designed to be a simple interface for turning systems on/off or raising/ lowing performance. One the of key reasons for taking on Airzone as a brand is its ability to control both AC and heating from the same interface. It also has over 25 years of global experience delivering HVAC and heating controls with a huge catalogue of products for every type of heating and cooling application possible. The company also has current integration drivers for Creston, Contorl4, RTI and Lutron, so is perfect to bring to our dealers as a simpler solution both for installation and programming. Yes, there are other solutions out there and they are good, but most of them usually only control heating or only AC and not both. Airzone has also recently employed a dedicated sales rep based purely for the UK, so we are confident the company is here to stay and certainly sees the UK as a growth market.
Like the entire Pulse Cinemas family, dealers can come and see the system in full operation at company HQ. An Airzone system controls all of the AC and heating throughout the entire building. Airzone and Pulse Cinemas are of course offering full training and technical support for the brand. Get in touch to find out more.
Airzone Lite, Think and Blueface controllers offer a wide range of options
