The Wales Darby Mobile Learning Center is all geared up and hitting the road for Live-Fire A. O. Smith Training with the ProLine XE® Voltex® AL Smart Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater! Take a look at the video of our Contractor Services Group Manager, John Resso as he takes you through a virtual training session on the new high-performance, high-efficiency unit.
The TACO Comfort Solutions Live-fire Mobile Cart, jointly developed by Wales Darby's Contractor Services Group Manager, Rick Koester, and VP of HVAC Department, Steve Poli, is now ready to hit the road just in time for the upcoming heating season. This mobile training facility serves as a hands-on educational platform for ECM technology, which is set to become the industry standard according to the Department of Energy (DoE) by 2025. The cart showcases a range of hydronic accessories offered by TACO, presenting a comprehensive solution package for contractors. Its portability allows it to be easily transported via van to various Distributor Counter Days and events, where Wales Darby trainers and Sales teams can provide valuable training sessions.
Among the featured items on the cart are the 007e, 015e, and 018e ECM Circulators, VT2218 Delta-T Heat Pump, Zone Sentry Valves, Magnet Filtration, 4900-Series Air Separator, Hydro-separator, Switching Relays (SR), Zone-valve Controller (ZVC), and 5000-Series Mixing Valve, all provided by TACO Comfort Solutions. Additional products from the Wales Darby linecard, including Spacepak Thin Wall, Flexcon's Expansion Tank, and Electro Industries' Mini-Boiler, are also incorporated to simulate a home heating setup. Notably, the use of the In-line Balancing Valve is a key highlight of the showcase, allowing users to simulate room dimensions and the required linear feet of baseboard for heating. Combined with the TACO 018e Circulator Pump, featuring Bluetooth technology, users can adjust the resistance on the balancing valve and observe the reaction via an app displayed on a mounted tablet, gaining a better understanding of how this equipment can work together efficiently for optimal home heating.

Fujitsu's Split Terminal Heat Pump (STHP) has won yet another award. The high-efficiency, PTAC alternative took third place in Plumbing & Mechanical Engineer’s Top Products of 2022 roundup.
Feature 3 | February 2023 | Plumbing & Mechanical Engineer (pmengineer.com)
Each year, PM Engineer editors receive thousands of product releases from industry manufacturers. The 20 products highlighted have earned the distinction of being PM Engineer’s Top Products of 2022 based on the number of page views on www.pmengineer.com. Also notable is that the STHP placed first in the list of Mini-Split and other Air Source Heat Pump ASHP comfort systems, even placing above the first VRF system! Even more exceptional to us, is that the STHP placed high-marks in a “wet side” based publication.
Fujitsu might need a larger award case at HQ soon as the PME distinction will accompany their Silver Dealer Design Award from The ACHR News and the Finalist spot on the AHR Innovation Awards.
We congratulate our partner Fujitsu General America on the work they've done to bring national acclaim to their new product the STHP.
The white paper found here details the benefits, when compared to PTACS, of higher energy efficiency, lower noise levels, and more comfortable air distribution.
