AIRVent visitors had the opportunity to see and test new products designed for industrial, residential and commercial applications.

For example, Haier's innovative Casarte air conditioner, which features energy efficiency, automatic air purification of harmful particles, noise reduction technology and intelligent control systems that adapt to environmental changes, was demonstrated at the exhibition.

Nevatom introduced visitors to rectangular ducts and fittings with TDC III integrated flange technology. This technology ensures compliance with density class "C" according to the Eurovent 2.2 standard and therefore high energy efficiency in ventilation systems.

Klimatventmash presented ventilation systems for facilities of any technological purpose: public buildings and shopping malls, subways and space centres, microelectronics and medicine, petrochemistry and clean rooms, etc. The equipment is designed to solve almost all possible ventilation and air conditioning tasks.

TERMA demonstrated heat exchangers, dual-flow air coolers, V-shaped drycoolers, Prima condensers, T-Heat heaters, T-Wall air curtains.

Among the new products presented by TERMOINDUSTRY are Dunham-Bush refrigeration and air conditioning systems; Hon Ming closed and open-type wet cooling towers and Termovent ventilation, air conditioning and air purification units.

KlimatProf showcased to visitors their innovations of climate control equipment from Fujitsu, TOSOT, Lessar, Quattroclima, and Dahaci brands.

CENTEK AIR has introduced domestic inverter systems with the unique ability to operate stably at mains voltages from 120 to 260V. This ensures stable and reliable operation of the equipment even with unstable voltage, which is especially relevant for Russian operating conditions. In 2024, CENTEK AIR will launch sales of 6 new series, adhering to the concept of designer air conditioners, of the highest level of quality and with more than affordable price, including the CT-66AMSD multi-conditioner series.
