ZoneSav Controller
www.bellgossett.com
Technologic 5500 ZoneSav Controller is designed to optimize zone/bridge flow and distribution loop Delta T without sacrificing humidity control and comfort. The Technologic 5500 ZoneSav Controller now makes it possible to "decouple" zones thermally as well as hydraulically from the chilled or hot water distribution systems. Ideal for use with chilled water or heating water distribution systems, the controller is suitable for either two- or three-way control valve applications. By introducing a true tertiary zone valve with a de-coupling bridge, a tertiary zone pump and a ZoneSav valve controller, the new system allows users to solve several of the shortcomings of large distribution systems that have grown beyond their original designs. Bell Gossett, a brand of ITT.


Restroom partitions
www.bradley.com
Line of Mills restroom partitions with new Bradmar "No Site" solid plastic partitions eliminate the uncomfortable "site line" between the door and pilaster. Traditional toilet stalls can have up to a half-inch gap at the sides of the door. No Site European-style partitions close the gap for a more private enclosure. Matching profiles on the hinge side and an overlap on the strike side create the tight fit. The design does not require any special floor or ceiling construction, which makes the partitions suitable for new or existing construction. Bradley Corp.

 


Thermostatic mixing valve for solar
www.caleffi.com
Because temperatures in a solar system storage tank can vary considerably, particularly in summer when tank water can reach 200 F, it's important to use a thermostatic mixing valve to provide protection from scalds. Adjustable thermostatic mixing valve maintains the set temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user when there are variations in the temperature and pressure of the incoming hot and cold water or in the water's flow rate. Users can adjust the setting to between 80 F and 150 F. The valves can be installed to control the temperature for both single point of use and for point of distribution. Caleffi.

Savings calculator
www.turbotecproducts.com
The Enviro-Temp savings calculator is a commercial Heat Recovery system that recycles waste heat to generate hot water from the air conditioner or refrigeration system. The savings calculator is a sophisticated application capable of precise calculations with the capability for the user to input hot water usage, including gallons per day, entering water temperature, and the hot water set point, various types of refrigerant, including R410a, average run time, length of the cooling season, various fuels currently used to heat water, fuel cost and installation cost. This information generates a report which not only calculates your use and savings, it also calculates your Return on Investment (ROI). Turbotec Products Inc.

 


Alumicor PEX-Al-PEX tubing
www.zurn.com
Offers benefits of cross-linked polyethylene tubing -- except when it is bent, it holds its shape. Alumicor bends easily but then stays in place thanks to a layer of aluminum that is sandwiched between two layers of PEX. This layer not only gives pex tubing an easy to handle, malleable characteristic, it also improves heat transfer and acts as an oxygen barrier which helps protect the boiler and all other non-ferrous system components from corrosion.
