Geared Turbofan Jet Engines
Since entering into service in early 2016, the GTF engine has demonstrated its promised ability to reduce fuel burn by 16 percent, to reduce NOx emissions by 50 percent to the regulatory standard and to lower the noise footprint by 75 percent.
Pratt & Whitney
AquaEdge
The AquaEdge® 19DV centrifugal chiller utilizes a low global warming potential refrigerant and provides Integrated Part Load Valve (IPLV) efficiency that is 40% better than the current industry standard. (Industry standard is ASHRAE 90.1 2016.)
Carrier
Gen2 Elevator
Otis’s Gen2® system uses flexible polyurethane steel-reinforced belts in place of steel cables and features ReGen® drive technology – innovations that reduce energy consumption by as much as 75 percent under normal operation compared to conventional systems without regenerative technology.
