“Tom, your VAV boxes are loud.” says contractor, speaking in a raised voice, pointing at the terminal box as it makes lots of noise. “I’m writing your brand out of the specs!” says engineer, fists on hips. “You can both go to he**.” I don’t say, because they might...
That’s a dandy of a question. It depends on the problem you are trying to solve. LINT: Price can accommodate a standard VAV box with an orifice ring instead of a cross flow sensor. Take the static pressure on both sides of the ring, know the opening size of the...
Are lab controls complicated? Not really. For a DFDM project, the requirement is to use a JCI programmed controller. Fine, the State will do what the State will do. For your private lab job, you can do whatever you want. Just so you know, Antec’s controls are...

I recently spent time with some of Air Flow’s favorite customers. We hopped planes and inspected Price’s technical center outside of Phoenix. I heard several customers gush about the performance of our sales teams. That sure makes me feel good. And I got to thinking...
Sorry, vegans and vegetarians, you won’t like this metaphor. Pretend the meat is tempeh. Our human brains don’t have the capacity to understand everything. That’s way too much work, and cuts into our Netflix binge watching. On the other hand, some things are worth...
