Design Tools Update & Gen “B” Units Released–January 18, 2012

This week the Design Tools was software updated to revision 1.0.1.0 modifying the code base to fix nuisance program crashes and increase stability across multiple platforms.  Database files were streamlined to drastically reduce file size, making updates quicker on slower Internet connections while respecting those users with bandwidth caps.

This week also saw the release of the NEW “B” Generation of the KVS/KVD, TVS/TVD, BVS/BVD product line.  The “B” generation condensing units utilize the efficient K/T/BCL air cooled condenser reducing refrigerant charge and allowing for a “HIGH EFFICIENCY” version of all Copeland and Bitzer High, Medium and Low temperature application models.

Original “A” Generation models are now effectively obsolete. Existing quotes should be re-issued with the NEW models.

NEW Literature is available by following the links below and from within the Document Browser in Design Tools.

Click the link to open your browser where you will run the installer putting Design Tools on your desktop.  You can then start using the NEW Design Tools instead of the stand-alone NROES program.

Once you have Design Tools installed it is recommended that you uninstall NROES-8 from the Control Panel choosing to keep your existing user data if asked.  NROES-8 will expire January 1, 2012 so it is recommended that you upgrade to Design Tools sooner than later.

NROES Updates–November 17, 2011

You may have noticed NROES updating a few times today.  Data updates included option price corrections on Large Condensers and K/T/BE-Line units as well as option availability corrections on K/T/BMS/D condensing units.

Large condensers: KCL, TCL and BCL option ‘Fan Cycling in Pairs Less Controls"’ displayed incorrect pricing.  This has been corrected with the prices that match those printed in the List Price Book.

K/T/BE-Line (hermetic, scroll & semi): List Prices for options ‘Adj Dual Pressure Control (Johnson)’ and ‘Separate Johnson Low Pressure & High Pressure Controls’ have been adjusted to down.

The addition of Tecumseh Scroll compressors for Low Temperature operation are being entered in to the database and will be available soon.

K/T/BMS/D-Line: Missing option prices are being added to reflect the list currently published in the List price Books.
