A new product from Electro Static Technology is designed to improve the reliability of HVAC/R systems by dramatically extending the life of AC motors commonly used in HVAC/R systems to drive fans, air pumps, chillwater pumps, compressors and other air-handling equipment. The device protects bearings from the electrical damage commonly incurred when currents discharge through the motor bearings, causing frosting, pitting, fusion craters and fluting.
The Series 700A/M Power Processor from Controlled Power Company is designed specifically to provide voltage- regulated, conditioned and clean power to CT/MRI/PET/Linear Accelerator/X-Ray and other imaging/treatment equipment. The unit uses a proprietary power sampling technique to ensure that the proper voltage value is always present at the load and that there are no damaging effects of over- or undershoot of voltage, thus protecting the sensitive medical imaging equipment from erratic voltages generated by most medical-grade power conditioners.
SCADA software for power control systems, new from Russelectric, provides interactive monitoring, real-time and historical trending, comprehensive reporting, distributed networking and alarm management.
Operators use full-color, point-and-click, interactive computer screen displays at the system console to monitor and control a facility’s entire power system. Displays use color codes to indicate the system’s status and the positions of all power-switching devices.

The new ECU2 from Mintie is a collapsible, portable containment unit that helps hospitals and health care contractors control airborne contaminants during construction, maintenance and abatement projects.
The unit has both ceiling and wall access points, and multiple units can be jointed together for larger workspaces. A corridor flange accessory further increases the flexibility of the ECU2 by allowing the user to customize any containment area without using plastic sheeting and poles. The unit is CDC, JCAHO and AIA compliant.
