HVAC FUTURE TRENDS

INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY
DECREASED COSTS FOR MORE OUTPUT

As energy efficiency demands reshape the HVAC industry, the pressure is on to deliver high-performing systems that minimize energy consumption. With buildings accounting for nearly a third of global energy use, HVAC systems must be resilient and efficient, even under extreme conditions.

Gates power transmission belts are designed to meet these challenges head-on, offering robust performance and efficient power transfer that help reduce energy costs and extend system life. By choosing Gates, you’re investing in solutions that support sustainable operations and help optimize every watt of energy used.

RELIABILITY IN HARSH ENVIRONMENTS
STAY COOL REGARDLESS OF THE CLIMATE

HVAC systems deal with some seriously tough conditions. Humidity from rain and snow or other elements like wind and small debris can wear out the components and cause them to fail prematurely, elevating costs or even leading to the complete replacement of the air handling unit (AHU).

Reliability is never in question with Gates products, we have the technology to keep your heating and cooling systems running in top condition. Our coolant hoses and v-belts are tough enough handle extreme temperature ranges from -70ºF to 250ºF while ensuring exceptional power transfer efficiency.

OPTIMIZE HVAC RELIABILITY WITH QUAD-POWER^™ 4

This maintenance-free V-belt powers crucial components like fans, pumps, and compressors with unwavering reliability, even in the harshest conditions. By cutting out the need for frequent replacements and reducing the risk of breakdowns, Quad-Power 4 ensures HVAC systems deliver steady, uninterrupted performance.

PRECISION IN MOTION

When it comes to HVAC, Gates brings over a century of expertise, combined with a relentless drive for innovation. Each component is subjected to rigorous, comprehensive testing that simulates real-world HVAC operating conditions and is evaluated through accelerated lifecycle testing, thermal cycling, and load-bearing assessments to ensure that our belts deliver exceptional durability and reliability over extended periods.

Our proprietary elastomers are formulated to withstand extreme temperatures and resist the degradation typically caused by high thermal exposure, oil, and other environmental factors. We incorporate high-strength reinforcements, like advanced aramid fibers, to give our belts unmatched tensile strength and flexibility.
