Jorban-Riscoe hosted an engineering luncheon featuring Franklin Control Systems. Dylan Hively, HVAC Western Region Manager, gave a great presentation on their starters and variable frequency drives, as well as their pumps. Dylan introduced their newest product, the Q-Link VFD, which you can use your smart phone to allow for guided start-ups, automated reports, in-app support and more. It provides an array of inputs & outputs including damper control. The Q-Link also used R3 Filtering which reduces harmonic distortion and provides equivalent performance to an AC line reactor but without the added cost.
Thank you to all of our customers who were able to attend!

DuctSox Air Dispersion Products Recently Aided Involta’s Northpointe Data Center in Achieving A Top 5% Efficiency Ranking. The data center industry has come to realize that strategic air dispersion, not more cooling volume is the secret to effective rack cooling, facility efficiency and minimal equipment failures. This realization motivated Involta LLC to collaborate with DuctSox to design an air dispersion duct that specifically aimed at solving air distribution challenges unique to data centers.
Traditional metal ductwork in earlier Involta locations fell short of delivering efficient and effective cooling even though there was sufficient CRAC capacity and room temperatures as recommended by ASHRAE standards. The main shortcoming was metal duct’s inherent high velocities resulting in turbulence that prevented electronic equipment fans to draw cooling into the racks.
The Solution – DuctSox’s directionally adjustable air displacement system that improves air dispersion, containment and energy efficiency while costing less than the metal alternative. As a result Involta’s facility is now recording an impressive 1.3 power usage effectiveness (PUE), which places it in the top five percent of efficient multi-tenant data centers nationwide.
