When the global pioneer in safety and gas detection technology joins forces with a pioneer in refrigerant leak detection systems, it creates an opportunity to change an industry.
A first look at what is possible for the HVAC-R industry will be on display in Las Vegas next week as MSA Safety, Inc., the global pioneer in the development, manufacture, and supply of sophisticated safety solutions that help to protect people and facility infrastructures, and MSA Bacharach exhibit together at this year’s AHR Expo, scheduled from January 31 to February 2.
Refrigerant detection technologies
With the expo focusing on the HVAC-R industry’s future, it is an optimal time for the MSA and Bacharach portfolios to be on display together. MSA’s gas detection technologies, combined with Bacharach’s expertise in HVAC-R, are creating a new portfolio of connected refrigerant detection technologies that are entirely new to the market.
“As we look broadly at the HVAC-R industry, we see a market that is fully on board and ready to adopt IoT technologies that create new standards for remote connectivity,” said AaronTufts, Chief Operating Officer of MSA Bacharach.
Refrigerant monitoring and management solutions
Providing remote access to monitoring solutions enhances safety and we’re excited to show these solutions together"
“With Bacharach’s integration into MSA, we can provide industry-leading solutions for refrigerant monitoring and management. Providing remote access to these monitoring solutions enhances safety and efficiency, and we’re excited to be able to show these solutions together for the first time at this year’s expo.”
“Together, the organizations are in a united pursuit to help keep people, places, and our planet safer.” MSA Safety acquired Bacharach in July of 2021, which aligned Bacharach’s gas and refrigerant detection portfolio with MSA’s product and manufacturing expertise.
Gas and refrigerant detection portfolio
“Having our two newly integrated organizations together at one of the largest HVAC-R events aligns exceptionally well with our strategy to expand MSA’s addressable market and expand our gas detection portfolio,” said Ken Krause, MSA Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and executive sponsor of the Bacharach acquisition.
“This showcases the strength of the integration and gives those in the HVAC-R industry a new way of looking at how our complementary technologies and manufacturing processes are helping to keep people safe.”
Cloud Data for Remote Connectivity session
Mr. Theron will be speaking about meeting customer demands through real-time access to easy-to-understand data
In addition to featuring a range of connected safety solutions, registered AHR Expo attendees are encouraged to join Richard Theron, MSA Safety Product Manager, for an expert presentation on Cloud Data for Remote Connectivity, Notification, and Visualization.
Taking place Tuesday, Feb. 1, at 1:15 p.m., Mr. Theron will be speaking about meeting customer demands through real-time access to easy-to-understand data. Being able to easily and securely connect to this data can help ensure time-sensitive issues are addressed quickly and operations are more efficient.
Technology demonstrations
In addition to the above, MSA, Bacharach, and FieldServer products will be showcased in one place for the first time. The line-up of new technologies to be featured at the show include:
- The MSA Chillgard® 5000 Monitor, detects leaks and provides real-time refrigerant monitoring;
- Bacharach Gas Detection, featuring complete refrigerant leak management and monitoring solutions;
- Parasense Connected Solutions, allowing for easy refrigerant tracking and instant remote monitoring and alerts of detected leaks;
- The Legend Series™ HFC Portable Refrigerant Analyzer, in 2 minutes or less identifies and analyzes vapor or liquid refrigerants; and
- FieldServer Gateways provides automated, on-site, or cloud-based monitoring solutions across several
These featured products, expert personnel, and more will be featured at MSA Safety’s Booth C4128. Keep up-to-date with the latest AHR Expo happenings by visiting the website or following MSA’s social media platforms.
Remote connectivity
“We are excited to be showcasing MSA and Bacharach together at the AHR Expo and doing so for the first time,” Tufts said.
“We look forward to highlighting and showing how this integration enhances remote connectivity in the HVAC-R industry and how it can help prepare organizations for a connected future.”
