Guangdong Vanward New Electric Co., Ltd., a gas appliances manufacturer, and Resideo Technologies, Inc., a global provider of home technologies, announced a global strategic partnership to develop and promote Resideo’s iXQ gas adaptive technology for residential applications.
The partnership, announced at ISH China & CIHE 2019 (China International Trade Fair for Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning, Sanitation & Home Comfort Systems), will include collaboration on dedicated technical trainings, installation prototypes, testing and verification, and product launches. In addition, the partners will work together on two atmospheric gas valve projects – Atmix and the CVI Moduplus – and the pX42 basic full premixed wall-hung boiler project.

“Our plans call for further collaboration in the future. We will work with Resideo to evaluate and upgrade our basic laboratory, to apply the technology to improve our product portfolio for our target market, to share global market resources, to promote collaboration between university and industry researchers, and to extend the application of the technology. In addition, the cooperation will be expanded to include technology development, training, talent development, testing and many other aspects."
"The two companies will work closely on R&D, the intelligent Internet of Things, and large-scale commercial products, so as to truly achieve a powerful combination of resources and capabilities, and forge strong competitive advantages for both parties." Resideo’s iXQ technology builds on the company’s extensive experience in smart and safe combustion control and gas valves.

The technology can identify if there is a flame, and the type of flame, and automatically adjust parameters for optimal combustion control. A specialized pX52 gas valve enables the high-precision control. The iXQ system requires no human intervention and can make intelligent adjustments that automatically adapt the boiler to the different types of gas qualities available in the Chinese market, maximizing combustion efficiency and system reliability.
In addition, the modular design of the gas adaptive iXQ system lets manufacturers introduce customized solutions that make development and manufacturing processes more flexible. The highly adaptable iXQ software algorithm ensures compatibility with all types of condensing gas boilers.
