A line of positive-pressure, low-intensity infrared tube heaters has a patent-pending Tube Integrity Safety System™ (TISS), which provides additional safety for building owners. Available in natural and propane gas, the tube heaters use positive pressure to push products of combustion through the heavy-duty combustion chamber.
The EcoPod is a shock absorption pad that is used to reduce sound, vibrations, and pulsating of heavy equipment. Made from 100 percent recycled tire rubber, it is a compact, solid crumb rubber isolation block engineered to reduce structure noise transmission.
Fully recyclable, Aquatherm Greenpipe® (formerly known as Aquatherm Fusiotherm®) is a pressure pipe system that uses a simple heat fusion connection to eliminate toxic materials, glues and resins, and open flames from HVACR piping installation. It also creates simple, seamless connections designed to last a lifetime.
A refrigerant guide titled “Refrigerant: What You Need to Know,” has been added to the manufacturer’s dealer literature library. It is a simple, two-sided consumer-friendly sheet that walks homeowners through the refrigerant changeover and the benefits of choosing R-410A equipment.
The latest generation of the WhisperWarm™ ventilation fans is available. These two new models, both of which can heat and improve IAQ, are also more compact, lightweight, and quieter than their predecessor. The FV-11VHL2 is available with a light and night light feature. The FV-11VH2 is available without lights.
The Boiler Comparison Guide compares the manufacturer’s flexible water tube steel boilers against firetube steel boilers, cast iron boilers, and other water tube boilers. The literature contrasts the characteristics of each boiler type, including installation, estimated service life, space requirements, and other factors.
The CMC100 compact dehumidifier is designed for confined spaces, high performance, and easy installation. Drawing 6 A, it removes up to 70 pints of water per day at 80°F and 60 percent relative humidity. The unit measures 14 inches tall and 10 inches wide, and is Energy Star®-qualified.
The LagMaster-Plus™ telescoping pole tool is the fastest, simplest way to hang threaded rod, wire, or chain from the ground, says the company. The pole’s thin profile allows it to reach into tight places where a worker would have difficulty maneuvering. It can be used by electricians, as well as HVAC and plumbing contractors.
The all-in-one pump-control variable-voltage version of the Variable Speed 00® circulator can be installed in a wide range of commercial building HVAC applications. It has been designed to operate the pump at different speeds based on an externally generated analog voltage signal input.
The 315-megahertz (MHz) versions of the company’s ultra-low power radio modules are available. The development enables integrators to install wireless sensor networks into buildings using a frequency band that is far less crowded than the others available, such as 2.4 gigahertz (GHz), says the company.
