At Toyota, for example, the company shifted from a 500-volt electrical system to
a 650-volt one, a decision that produced "a host of benefits," says Justin Ward,
advanced power-train program manager at the Toyota Technical Center. The company was able to reduce the
cost and weight of copper wiring, use cheaper power transistors in the
electronics that control the hybrid system, and make the electric motor cheaper
and smaller.

Johnson Controls introduces air conditioners with MicroChannel technology. -REFRIGE.COM... - 0 views
-
Johnson Controls, a global leader in building efficiency, announced the new LX Series of air conditioners and heat pumps by York, its leading air conditioning, heating, refrigeration, and ventilating company. They feature a MicroChannel coil with enhanced heat transfer characteristics, enabling them to achieve the desired performance levels with less coil surface area than competitive condensers and up to 50 percent less refrigerant. The units are available with environmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant as well as R-22. 14.5 SEER LX Series air conditioners use a compressor blanket and swept-wing fan blade for quieter operation. 15+ SEER can be achieved when the air conditioner is matched with a variable-speed air handler or gas furnace. A fully louvered steel coil guard, corner posts and a polymer mesh protect the condensing coils from damage. The unit's heavy-duty cabinet is made of powder-painted steel that resists corrosion and rust creep.\n\n\n\n\nIn addition, the MicroChannel coil offers better galvanic corrosion resistance than conventional coils. In testing, the coil withstood 7,000 hours of salt spray with a higher success rate than conventional coils at just 1,000 hours, making the units particularly desirable for seacoast applications, reveals the company's press release.\n\n
