2018 AHR Expo Recap

Triatek and FlowSafe had another great year at the AHR Expo! We were featured in several publications promoting the Expo including the ASHRAE Journal, The ACHR NEWS, and Engineered Systems.

UIC Tour

We kicked off the week in Chicago with a tour of the University of Illinois at Chicago Chemistry Department, which has over 350 award-winning Stable Vortex® II Fume Hoods installed! The tour was led by a representative from a local ESCO who managed the project installation. UIC’s laboratory energy consumption was drastically reduced after the installation of the Stable Vortex® fume hoods. The tour included sales reps, engineers, and end users. If you would like to learn more about how the Stable Vortex® II Fume Hood works, or how we can help you improve laboratory safety while also reducing energy consumption, email Caroline Moore to set up a webinar.

EcoAir Valve™ New Product Presentation

On the second day of the show, Triatek CEO Jim Hall gave a presentation on the new, patent-pending EcoAir Valve™ in the AHR Expo’s New Technology and Product Theater. The EcoAir Valve™ is an ultra-low pressure drop valve that can reduce energy consumption and strain on HVAC systems for critical environments. The valve delivers a fast and accurate response even during low duct static pressure changes, providing unprecedented precision in airflow control. The EcoAir Valve™ working display was well-received (see more photos below in the slide show) and showcased the robust and debris-proof design. If you would like to receive more information about the new EcoAir Valve,™ email Caroline Moore.

AHR Innovation Awards

Triatek’s Stable Vortex® II Fume Hood was named the 2018 AHR Innovation Award Winner in the Ventilation category! Pictured below is Eileen Klees, Triatek’s FlowSafe Product Manager and representatives from ASHRAE. This is a great honor for FlowSafe and Triatek, as it recognizes the Stable Vortex®’s truly unique approach to creating a safer working environment for fume hood users while also providing reduced energy consumption for laboratories. After the award ceremony we celebrated in our booth with beer and pretzels! Check out the slideshow below for more images of our booth and the rest of the show!
