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.

Coleman® Introduces 14.5 SEER Heat Pump
Coleman® introduces a new 14.5 SEER heat pump to the Coleman LX and Comforteer™ Series of mid-efficiency air conditioners and heat pumps. Available in 1.5- to 5-ton capacities, the heat pump features a heating season performance factor (HSPF) up to 9.0 and is Energy Star® qualified.
The unit's upflow air flow pattern, sound-isolated motor, rigid top panel and cushioned compressor mounts work together to dampen vibrations and ensure quiet operation, sources say.
The heat pump includes an accumulator that regulates the differing refrigeration needs of heating and cooling cycles, and a reversing valve regulates the change from cooling to heating. Coated aluminum fins with copper tube coils provide durability and efficient operation, while high-pressure and low-pressure relief valves and a solid core filter drier extend the life of the compressor.

New Crouzet Linear Motor Series Features Modulated Gas Control
Crouzet North America, has introduced the linear motor series to the North American market. The new motor series features proportional control of gas flow rather than straight on/off control. Typical applications include gas heaters, gas fireplaces, and other equipment that uses gas valve control.
The new device is packaged as an integrated assembly complete with motor, valve, and safety function (stepper models). The linear stepper motor allows replacement of two electromagnets per channel, and only requires one channel to control the global range of flow (0.6m3/h to 6 m3/h). The stepper motor configuration also features a rapid response, dual safety system that combines the regulation and fail-safe function into one. This allows the motor to switch off the valve and stop the gas flow in less than 10 ms. The safety function also allows the valve to spring back to close if power is lost. Other characteristics of the new series include low noise, customization to specific application requirements, and certification to EN161 safety standards.
