United States. Emerson announced that it has completed the purchase of 7AC Technologies, Inc., a technology company that offers an emerging approach to air conditioning technology that enables energy savings and sustainable air management.
Emerson has been collaborating with 7AC to commercialize a new technology that enables customers, such as commercial and retail building owners, to achieve the desired relative humidity and temperature in a single step. Membrane-based liquid desiccant technology is flexible, completely modular and can be incorporated into various applications.
"With desiccant liquid technology, 7AC provides a one-step solution that demonstrates better energy efficiency and air quality than today's best-in-class products," said Jamie Froedge, executive president of Emerson's Commercial and Residential Solutions business. "In response to customer needs, industry regulations and new building codes, commercial building owners can leverage this technology to easily manage humidity, temperature, purity and air distribution."
Commercial air management is a market with high growth and solution opportunities. From Copeland scroll compressors to the Sensi suite of smart home capabilities, including its award-winning thermostats, the addition of 7AC expands Emerson's legacy heating, ventilation and air conditioning capabilities to provide commercial and residential customers with the best in-class solutions that protect human comfort and promote energy efficiency.
7AC is headquartered in Beverly, MA.
