We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ventilation",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Control system monitors entire facility from
CC-Link Partner Association, which we summarised at the time by saying "GB Innomech decided to integrate as many functions as possible into one central control system that could constantly optimise the entire building for energy performance".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Control system automates sauna facilities from
Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems: "Mitsubishi Electric control systems work unobtrusively in the background to keep all the spa equipment and facilities operating perfectly".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Flomerics
- take a look at 20 years of computational fluid dynamics
which says: "Flomerics has reached an age that puts it among the oldest companies involved in computer aided engineering".
Take a look also at the news release from Control Techniques, DaimlerChrysler places large drive order,
as well as Transmitters suit varied applications from Baumer Group,
and Digital metering supports Ethernet communication from Tyco Electronics - Energy Division.
