HVAC MONITORING SERVICES The movement of air is often the largest consumer of electricity in a commercial building. Browning® can help you recommission your equipment for maximum efficiency and payback, using products and monitoring services to recover lost efficiency. We measure these variables to calculate efficiency upgrade opportunities and projected payback: • Real energy usage • Humidity • Bearing temperature • Differential pressure • Belt temperature • Inside/outside air • Shaft speeds temperature

FIELD DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT •• Temperature Sensors •• Rotational Speed Sensors •• Power Meter •• Differential Pressure Sensors •• Independent Network These sensors deliver realtime data directly to your smartphone via EVA, the "Energy Evaluation App".

IT'S 150°F ON YOUR ROOFTOP TODAY. ARE YOU USING BROWNING® EPDM V-BELTS IN YOUR HIGH-PERFORMANCE AIR HANDLER? For decades, customers have asked for greater temperature range due to high ambient and operating temperatures in many applications. Industry standard v-belts utilize polychloroprene synthetic rubber compounds which limit operating temperatures from -30°F to +140°F Our EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) Browning v-belts* expand that temperature range considerably. Operating temperatures for EPDM v-belts are -60°F to +250°F. This expanded range helps ensure long-life and reliable...

WHAT IS EPDM? EPDM or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, is a synthetic rubber compound. EPDM is strong, flexible, and resists decay. It is ozone, oxidation, humidity, and heat resistant. Operational temperature for EPDM v-belts are -60°F to 250°F . ADVANTAGES • Greater operating temperature range • Increased efficiency up to 3% with 3VX, 5VX, 8VX, AX, BX, CX • Longer belt life • Smoother running due to higher tolerance for misalignment • TUBULAR FABRIC Unique tubular woven knit fabric, designed for maximum flexibility and performance. • OIL/HEAT RESISTANCE & STATIC CONDUCTIVITY Meets RMA...

The Browning®Tenso-set® Series 600 horizontal sliding motor base with optional quick release (QR) is an industry first for V-belt drives, enhancing technician convenience and belt drive efficiency by automatically maintaining belt tension for extended periods and allowing quick belt changes in just minutes. BENEFITS • Significantly reduces time required to change v-belts • Promotes greater efficiency by constantly maintaining v-belt tension • Tube rail and one-piece carriage design promotes and maintains superior drive alignment • Improved safety. No need to cut off belts or roll them onto...

V-BELT DRIVE ADVANTAGES V-belt drives provide many maintenance advantages that help in your daily struggle to reduce equipment repairs and to hold forced downtime to the lowest possible level. 1. They are rugged–they will give years of trouble-free performance when given just reasonable attention...even under adverse conditions. They are clean–require no lubrication. They are efficient–performing with an average of 94-98% efficiency. They are smooth starting and running. They cover extremely wide horsepower ranges. They permit a wide range of driven speeds, using standard electric motors....

V-BELT CONSTRUCTION Unique design enhances performance provides increased HP capacity in shorter center drives. GripBelt® Gripnotch® Belt Before we talk about “Avoiding Problems” and “Solving Problems” let’s take a brief look at how V-belts are constructed. There are basically two types of construction. One has a fabric wrapper (or jacket) surrounding it; the other – usually rated higher in horsepower – is made in a raw edged, cogged construction. GripBelt® Gripnotch® V-Belts 1. Single Fabric Design • More flexible - use with subminimal pitch diameters. 1. Ground Form • Reduces vibration,...
