Milwaukee Tool continues to expand its line of Jobsite Work Gear with the introduction of three glove solutions: Performance, Performance Fingerless and Free-Flex gloves. Both the Performance and Free-Flex gloves feature touch-screen-compatible material on the fingertips, palms and knuckles, while the Performance Fingerless gloves provide dexterity for handling small objects.
Johnson Controls Inc. has extended its TempMaster® line to include OmniElite™ single-package rooftop units. Available in 50- to 65-ton cooling capacities, the new units offer a footprint up to 20 percent smaller than competing units, double-wall construction, single-point power connection and efficiency ratings that exceed ASHRAE 90.1 standards.
With Nu-Calgon’s TriClean 2x, condenser coil cleaning is easy. Simply connect the hose, clean and rinse. TriClean 2x coil cleaner comes complete with a built-in sprayer, eliminating sprayer prep time and reducing the cost of maintenance.
TORAD Engineering LLC has tested a new 40-ton spool compressor designed for medium-pressure refrigerants, such as R134a, as well as low- and ultra-low-GWP (global warming potential) refrigerants such as R513A and HFO-1234yf.
Most air conditioning and refrigeration leaks are discovered only after complaints, spoilage or production difficulties. The Spectroline® OPK-40GS/E GLO-STICK® Kit contains everything needed to locate all leaks in small- to medium-sized systems — including high-pressure R-410A systems—before they require major repairs.
It’s the crushing question for any business: Should I go forward and take a risk that will allow me to grow or do I accept the status quo and keep the operation profitable while limiting my chances of expanding?
I had a subtle yet red-faced moment recently. (I was red on the inside.) I was in a marketing meeting with a client that included staff and two outside consultants. One was Ken Smith (www.smithmedia.com), who handles the video responsibilities of the client’s work. I attended because I was responsible for the client's editorial content and public relations efforts.
On Saturday, July 30, I had the privilege of attending a signing ceremony between HARDI and Homes for Our Troops (HFOT) at the Southampton Country Club, Richboro, Pennsylvania.
