Very impressive production, kudos to the entire team... People like your technical team are dying breeds. "If you don't know the detail of something, you really won't the the outcome...", this is the true essence of technicalities.
Amazing how well produced, directed and edited these videos are for a fairly small channel. CaptiveAire videos are always a treat. Well done, German! Also, as industrial HVAC maintenance, I can tell just by the materials, manufacturing techniques and methodology that these products will last a long time. We have old HVACs that have lasted almost 25 years without major failure and they aren't built nearly to the quality level these are. "Reduce the complexity and do more of what we know works" is also an extremely good philosophy and something we need way more of in the field. Too many brands nowadays trying to one-up each other's by installing half-baked efficiency "upgrades," just for them to ultimately fail because they weren't actually thoroughly tested. That or nonsensically changing a good design just to be different and it ending up not as good and/or hard to maintain.
Wow- what a great video by the CaptiveAire Marketing team! So proud to be part of the CaptiveAire family and to be providing such high quality products to our users!
Oh god what a brown nose. What your company and many other HVAC companies are doing is letting the contractor and customers do the research and development for you, and don't say that your company spends years doing research and development because most companies but the new technology out so fast they don't have time to do the research and development and that's why the new equipment and technology is failing and why the warranty's are so long. And you really do not save that much in energy cost. Is it worth trying to save .ooooo1 of a watt.
This is a superb explanation of the differentiators that make Paragon exceptional; doubling traditional RTU lifespans while performing to the highest standards with each unit made to order to meet the specific needs of each application. The benefit to owners is the highest IEQ/IAQ for their buildings and the inhabitants of their spaces.
This is a welcome contrast to what I've seen on YT videos of service techs going to RTU service calls to fight with a rat's nest of wires, broken belts, bad relays and poor quality components. It doesn't seem that a great deal of workmanship put into the units I've seen in some of those videos. However, this video presents a stark contrast. Keep up the good work.
Love it!! You set the bar so high the other manufacturers should be shaking in their boots. They are hoping their customers are il-informed and never see what your company offers.
This type of innovation is actually improving the world and creating a more sustainable future without most people even knowing it. Tremendous work, and an exceptional video production. wow.
It's remember me about Edward Deming Out the Crisis book. Deming's 14 Points Create a constant purpose toward improvement. Plan for quality in the long term. ... Adopt the new philosophy. ... Stop depending on inspections. ... Use a single supplier for any one item. ... Improve constantly and forever. ... Use training on the job. ... Implement leadership. ... Eliminate fear. And to implement those 14 point we needed Joel Arthur knowledge in Paradigms book and Vision of the future videos. Really change my mind and help on the process in documenting the defects and gathering the data to view it in statistical grafic and change improvements yes and I testified of it.
I love these in depth videos of your guys'. It really helps me understand how HVAC systems and Mechanical Engineering works. If I have one request, please add closed captions to your videos. The automatically made RUclips one's can get a little iffy sometimes.
This is the stuff that made America great in the 1950s. Actually putting to use the best components and engineering. I applaud you guys. I wish there were choices of this level of quality in every product available. These days, we don’t have anything better than the next. It’s all crap. Glad you guys broke free from the norm. I wish i needed commercial HVAC…I’d give you my business. I truly appreciate what you offer and would be willing to pay more for it.
if you can make a footprint that will match 10-15 year old carrier or trane unit you will get a lot of sales. Daikin has one that matches the old carrier units. you can do a change out without needing a curb adapter. Something to think about!
Being in the trade for many years and seeing this is fantastic. It's about time RTU's stepped it up with tech and efficiency. One thing I didn't see or you didn"t show was insulated panels. What type do you use. I never understood why all manufactures use such a thin piece of foil or no backing backing itchy fiberglass. Which after time is damaged or missing. Causing extra heat loss or gain. I do like you access panel setup. Again not sure why other Man don't utilize riv-nuts instead of sheet metal screws. There are a lot of uncaring techs out there in a hurry and strip out panel mounting holes.
Good question! In most of our units we use 2” thick r13 foil faced closed-cell foam. Within the doors these are completely encapsulated by sheet metal to prevent damage. In our smallest unit we use 1” fiberglass board. (Edited for accuracy).
Love this. Proud to be a part of CAS and work for this company. German, any way you can send me that picture of the Paragon unit used as you background on the desktop?
The reason for device malfunctions is usually the large number of complex, sensitive electronics inside a device, so extending the lifespan of a device begins with reducing the number of electronics needed or avoiding them completely and finding better methods instead of using them.
I like this a lot. So you guys don't sell to HVAC contractors? You sell to buildings and then do your own start up? Do you have an in house service team for future breakdowns as well? I want to get my hands on one of these systems I like new tech. If you have jobs in San Diego that I can check out let me know
Give your local rep a call, they are a great company to work with. They sell to both contractors and building owners around here. The system is complicated, they will need to come out to start it up and get it online, but the maintenance package can look different depending on what the building owner wants to do.
Thanks! As suggested, I would contact your local sales representative. In this case it's region #96, reg96@captiveaire.com (858) 273-5084. We do have our own service team, and they will perform a startup and what we call System Design Verification. Our units also include CASLink for remote monitoring and controls, which also helps our service teams if there are any future breakdowns. We made a video about CASLink if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/BpGhwZE1vJY/видео.html
@ 14:25 Lenze ❤; I’ve seen very reliable old lenze inverters 😊 There are many good and reliable inverters models on the market 😊 I really prefer a totally sealed electronic boards on inverters… not vented… - vented ones they are always looking for trouble 😅 (dust and humidity combinations 😅) But a good integration in the produc can totally prevent problems 😊
We offer special coated coils for units destined to these more corrosive environments. We use helium as it's a better detecting medium, especially with smaller leaks. Thanks for asking!
@ 6:26 - An EC fan is a great ideea but keeping de EC fan inverter board in it is not that great - in High temp environment it will fail sooner… I have some good and some very bad experiences with EC fans from EBM Papst…. In your case I love the ideea of plastic impeller if you don’t get wrong the plastic composition 😅 - they seem very reliable in Daikin units and not only 😊
More efficiency sounds fine until we examine the durability and cost of variable speed motors and compressors. In my experience they fail more often and are significantly more expensive. Don't forget the KISS principle.
The empire state bldg is almost 100 years old. Most office blgs and retail centers I am familiar with are over 50 years old or around 20 years old on their way to 50 or more
@ 17:31 implementing this wrong can really bite you 😅 … and you just need a little lazy engineer maybe with some bad days at home or unsleep nights because he has small kids 😅 I hope you have a big enough design team to caught any missed problems 😊
Still working on some old qe units from the 80s, those old ones could last and last. Id like them to come back its not the consumer responsibility to be more efficient we should have 50 nuclear power plants by now and have access electricity but our corrupt government failed us.
SO MY QUESTION IS THEN, DO YOU HAVE SOFTWARE TO INTERFACE WITH THE EQUIPMENT....OR IS ALL YOU GET, IS THE HMI. DO YOU NEED A MODULE.....DO Y'ALL HAVE BACNET, MODBUS, LON TALK, RS485????? OH....I DIDN'T SEE YALL PURGING WITH NITROGEN WHILE BRAZING LOL
Good question. We have built in Modbus communications, and a gateway to access all the unit and remote control it via what we call CASLink. We made a video about this as well: ruclips.net/video/BpGhwZE1vJY/видео.html
@ 12:23 I kinda like painted metal ( good experience with Daikin and not only) ; sink is quite ugly - and i think a woman will always choose a painted one … and in many offices there are women that can influence a decision 😅 and there are many husbands who are very obedient at woman decisions 😂 They sit on the roof - they don’t have to look nice but if you’re building is not the tallest in the area the grey color is not the greatest for the neighboors… In the end Using zinc really helps in the speeding up of the developing process of a new product 😊
oh yeah your coils need to be way thicker than mini splits, it's fucking taking outside air. only idiots that make the coil thin and then a lot of ventilation

25 years isn't the life of most buildings though but I agree with you about hating sheet metal screws.
The unit is filled with Chinese made Danfoss drives. I wont expect the caps in there to last long

now thats what I call quality

Don't get your company involved with Wall Street. Once they get involved ,quality will go down.

Who makes the damper you use? I need to put something like that on my attic fan
Rivets sound great... until you need to change a coil. Repair on these things is going to be a nightmare.

Do these units last on the west coast? In the salt water air? Also, why use helium instead of nitrogen?
