Desert Aire Releases New Equipment Selection Tools on Website

Desert Aire has released two new tools on their website that are designed to help engineers, architects and contractors determine the proper Desert Aire unit for their pool and 100% outdoor air applications.

These new tools can be found on Desert Aire's website under the “Equipment Selection” button found at the very top, right side of the home page and include two online forms; one for pools and one for outdoor air projects.

Each form collects data specific to each type of application. The online form for pool projects requests basic information including pool size, weather data, pool water temperature and system requirements. Likewise, those inquiring about equipment for outdoor air projects are also asked to furnish weather data and unit requirements, but must also provide information such as return and supply dewpoints and temperatures as well as the need for energy recovery.

New Pipe-clamp K-type Thermocouples Deliver Superior Accuracy and Durability

Fieldpiece Instruments introduces the ATC1 and ATC1R pipe-clamp thermocouples.

The new design gives field service technicians hands-free pipe temperature measurement on a wider range of pipe sizes. The clamps stabilize in under 30 seconds and plug into any K-type thermocouple jack. The self-indexing jaws automatically force the pipe into position for maximum thermal contact. The snub-nose grabs pipes that are close to a wall.

Taco Offers A Solar Mixing System In Its New Solar X-Pump Block

Taco has extended its all-in-one X-Pump Block product line to include a product specific for solar thermal applications.

The Taco Solar X-Pump Block^® (SXPB) combines a variable speed solar differential control, collector circulator, storage tank circulator and heat exchanger into a single unit. Its stainless steel, brazed plate counterflow style heat exchanger provides complete system isolation between the heat creation source side of the system (solar collector) and the heat sink side (storage tank).

The versatile SXPB can be set up to maintain a setpoint differential between the solar collector and one or two storage tanks; it can support a booster pump as part of a drainback system, and features an intelligent heat dump option and freeze protection for open systems. With the addition of an optional sensor the energy collected by the solar collector can be displayed on the SXPB's large LCD.
