Aspen Manufacturing Introduces
LGM Series High-Efficiency, Multi-Position Aluminum Coil
120V Air Handlers.
 AThe
120-volt LGM Series offers outstanding installation
versatility. The units are shipped as upflow or horizontal
right and can be converted for downflow or horizontal left
installations onsite by HVAC technicians. When a proper
metering device is used, the LGM Series units are ETL listed
for use with R-22 or R-410A refrigerants. In addition, they
can be AHRI certified with most brands of air conditioners
or heat pumps. Available in 2- through 4-ton cooling
capacity without electric heat, all LGM Series models are
backed by a 10-Year Limited Warranty.
A high efficiency, all-aluminum coil with rifled tubing and
enhanced fins allows maximum heat transfer on all LGM Series
air handlers. As a US-based manufacturer, all Aspen coils
are leak tested using a two-stage pressure decay and mass
spectrometer process. Further, the coils are pressurized
with Nitrogen and factory sealed for maximum reliability.
LGM Series air handlers are available with either
factory-installed orifice or TXV metering devices. Units can
be converted with bolt-on TXVs during field installation.

Marketair's easybend Pipe
Bender Eliminates Costly Lineset Kinks in Minisplit/VRF
Installations.
easybend is the quickest, easiest and safest soft copper
pipe bender in HVAC.
 Marketair
Inc. introduces easybend by Castel Engineering, the
industry's quickest, easiest and most reliable soft copper
pipe bender that eliminates variable refrigerant flow (VRF)
and minisplit lineset installation kinks.
The easybend kit consists of four color-coded,
industrial-grade, solid polyethylene mandrel diameters. It
is 13-foot-long (4-m) and fits quickly, but snugly into soft
copper lineset tubing sizes of 1/4-inch (4-mm), 3/8-inch
(6-mm), 1/2-inch (9-mm) and 5/8-inch (12-mm) (O.D.). The
easybend prevents collapsing and kinking while making bends
of up to 180-degrees (dependent upon individual lineset
manufacturer tolerances).
Because it supports the tube
internally, easybend is capable of unprecedented flexibility
in bending linesets, allowing for the industry's tightest
radiuses while simultaneously bending both lines without
kinking.
Post installation, easybend is easily extracted, wiped clean
with a cloth and perpetually reusable for future projects.

capacity of 300 to 800 Btu/h that is optimized for use with
eco-friendly hydrocarbon refrigerant R600a (Isobutene). The
TA2 series compressor delivers a 20% improvement in
efficiency in comparison to its predecessor, a key factor
for household refrigerator manufacturers. This is especially
important considering the new mandated and voluntary energy
requirements being imposed across the globe.
Another significant advancement with the TA2
series compressor is its compact size. The TA2 is 5% smaller
in overall height than the current market leader, allowing
refrigerator manufacturers to reduce the size of their
equipment compartment in order to provide more space for
refrigerated food.
