The Science of ComfortTM
In February 2023, the new 40-gate terminal at Kansas City International Airport opened for commercial air service – a little more than 50 years after the original three-terminal airport began serving the area surrounding Kansas City, MO. At just over 1 million sq. ft. and with a budget of $1.5 billion, the new terminal is the largest single infrastructure project in the city’s history.

Price is constantly looking for opportunities to vertically integrate to expand the areas in which we serve, and this is exactly what drove us into water coil manufacturing more than 15 years ago. In recent years, however – with the growth of our sales representatives, the introduction of new products like DOAS fan-powered terminal units and the expansion of our fan coil product line – it has been a challenge to keep pace with the escalating demand for water coils. It was time for a new plant.

Fan trench heaters are specialized heating devices that are embedded within a trench in the floor or mounted in a low-profile enclosure at floor level, typically along the perimeter of a room or under windows. This type of heater combines a heating element, such as a multipass water coil or electric resistance heater, with a fan to enhance air circulation and heat distribution.

In the quest for more efficient and adaptable building designs, underfloor air distribution (UFAD) systems have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional overhead (OH) HVAC systems. Two comprehensive studies – one by the Center for the Built Environment (CBE) at UC Berkeley and another by Global IFS and Dynamic Systems Inc. – provide valuable insights into how UFAD systems can save on first costs while offering a variety of operational benefits.

In the HVAC industry, an application-specific controller is a device that comes preprogrammed with a sequence of operations for the equipment it’s intended to control. This could be anything from a boiler or air handler to a rooftop unit or terminal unit.
