December 25 - Danfoss Expands Portfolio with Microchannel Heat Exchangers

Danfoss recently expanded its portfolio of heat exchangers with the introduction of the company's own range of microchannel heat exchangers through its joint venture, Danfoss Sanhua.
As fuel and copper prices continue to soar and legislators pass stricter legislation to protect the environment, energy efficiency, reliability and running costs have become increasingly important for customers and manufacturers alike.
Microchannel heat exchangers have been used for more than 20 years by automotive manufacturers who wanted efficient heat exchange in a compact design. Today, the advantages of microchannel systems are beginning to challenge traditional fin-and-tube exchangers in the HVAC&R industry.
With the introduction of the efficient and reliable range of microchannel heat exchangers, Danfoss underlines its commitment to developing efficient solutions that both make financial sense and protect the environment, especially due to lower refrigerant charges and recyclable materials.

December 08 - Sanyo Announces the "eneloop bike" Electric Hybrid Bicycle

Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. is proud to announce another new eneloop universe product, an electric hybrid bicycle-the eneloop bike. The eneloop bike has been designed to be the industry's first*1 to conform to the newest standards*2, offering a "Power-up Mode" assist ratio of up to 1:2*2 making riding the bicycle more comfortable, a new "loop charge function"*3 that generates electricity and charges the battery while in use, and a "two-wheel drive system" provide a safer, more stable ride. The new eneloop bike will be on sale in Japan in early February 2009.
Sanyo, based on its 'Think GAIA' brand vision and the eneloop concept stressing 'looping energy' or stressing a lifestyle of reusing and recycling, created the 'eneloop universe' in 2006. The eneloop bike announced today will become a part of this product series, as it accurately represents both looping energy and consideration for the environment in a reusable system. With this new product, clean and reusable energy is "Generated, Recharged, and Conserved" simultaneously. Energy is generated by the rider, recharging the auxiliary battery, and conserving the energy both from the main battery and the rider.
