Just Manufacturing’s Enviro 770 Series combine sensor faucets, thermostatic mixing valves, p-trap and drain systems, as well as removable partitions on multi-station units. A removable front access panel also allows for maintenance access.
The scrub sinks feature pre-piped stainless steel for easy installation, and are available in 1-, 2-, or 3-station units.
From Phoenix Controls, the Traccel Room Controller is designed for use in variable air volume temperature control applications where consistently directional airflow is critical. The controller maintains an offset between the volume air being supplied to the room and the volume being exhausted, thus maintaining room pressurization and directional airflow.
The device comes from the factory with an on-board microprocessor that holds 48-point flow characterization curves for the supply and exhaust valves serving the room.
Steril-Aire’s UVC emitters are suited for hospitals, medical offices, hospices, clinics, and laboratories. The hospital air purification technology may be used for infection control or general IAQ, with operational and energy savings, according to the manufacturer.
The company’s single-ended emitters provide a very high output germicidal light source for HVAC systems.
The Sigma Air Manager from Kaeser Compressors is designed to balance service hours, prevent simultaneous motor starts and maintain tight pressure control. According to the manufacturer, the device can be adapted to almost any system, and it is capable of managing up to 16 compressors or vacuum pumps, including multiple types and other brands.
The manager incorporates an industrial PC with Internet technology, alerts operators to service requirements and provides trending data for plan operational analysis.
ThyCurb offers new, laser-cut custom bases for rooftop equipment. The manufacturer uses advanced laser technology to create secure rooftop mounting to precise specifications, offering the tightest tolerances. Each base is custom-built due to the varying specifications of rooftop units and roof configurations, but the company usually delivers the base within two weeks after receipt of an order.
Options include a built-in roof pitch, extra height for installation of sound traps beneath the unit, and a pressure-treated wood nailer. The bases arrive in one piece, if trucking permits.
The Micron 400 and 800, from Biological Controls, are designed specifically for health care settings. The patented mobile hospital air purification systems remove airborne contaminants using a high-capacity system that removes hazardous microbial airborne particulate and airborne pathogens contained in airborne diseases, reducing the risk of inhalation and airborne infection transmission.
As with all of the company’s HEPA filter units, they comply with CDC guidelines and they are FDA 510 certified.
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.
As the first anniversary of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita approach, mission-critical facilities around the country, from the hurricane-prone Gulf Coast to the earthquake- and flood-prone Bay Area of California are keenly aware of the challenges they face in keeping services running during and after such devastating events.
