Taco Comfort Solutions’ VT Series vertical turbine pumps provide the ultimate in reliability and ease of installation. With six-inch to 18-inch bowl diameters, the VT Series provides quiet, dependable performance for cooling tower, chilled water, water transfer, pressure boosting and water supply applications.

The Taco VT Series vertical turbine pumps offer upgraded materials of construction as standard features. All impellers are investment cast stainless steel to provide longer life and better abrasive and corrosive resistance. All bowls and discharge heads are ductile iron for higher hanging weight and better tensile strength.

Belimo announces the release of new Room Sensors, which complement the existing sensor product range. The Belimo Room Sensors measure temperature, humidity, and CO2 in a wall-mounted design offering high accuracy and fast response. The sensors are maintenance-free and provide long-term reliability for a comfortable room environment.

Integrated with Near Field Communication (NFC) allows for fast programming, commissioning, and troubleshooting with the Belimo Assistant App and a smartphone. The product series consists of Temperature, Temperature with Setpoint, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature, Relative Humidity, and CO₂. Key features include:

• Unique housing with a spring-loaded removable terminal block that saves wiring time and ensures reliable contact.
• Humidity output is configurable as relative humidity (rH) or dew point conforming to Ashrae 62.1 to prevent humidity and moisture problems.
• A low wall coupling factor provides accurate room temperature measurement that is not affected by the wall temperature.
• A discrete manual push button is standard on all passive sensors.
• A pc board cover plate which offers additional protection from mechanical damage, dust, and vibration.
• Self-calibrating dual-channel CO2 technology beneficial for buildings occupied 24/7.
• NFC allows fast programming.

Victaulic has released the RG1210 OGS-200 Roll Grooving Tool to simplify maintenance and repair on existing steam and condensate piping systems. The tool was designed to cold form OGS-200 roll grooves into Schedule 40 – 80 carbon steel pipe; further streamlining the installation of the Style 870 high-performance coupling.

Service contractors and facilities can perform maintenance without welding or hot works for steam and condensate systems. The RG1210 is capable of grooving 2 – 8” | DN50 – DN200 Schedule 40 pipe and 2 – 4” | DN50 – DN100 Schedule 80 pipe. While this tool has manual operation capabilities for in-place pipe preparation, the rugged design allows the RG1210 to be used on any job site where light-duty fabrication is required.

Grundfos has released the Dosing Skid Configurator, a new, interactive digital tool featuring thousands of configuration variants to serve an array of markets with complete chemical dosing solutions.

By answering a few simple way-of-use questions to configure the best solution, the Dosing Skid Configurator generates an interactive 3-D model of a pre-engineered dosing skid system—one of 16,000 possible configuration variants—a materials list, dimension drawings, list pricing, a downloadable submittal package, and a contact form to reach a Grundfos distributor to learn more about ordering and availability.

“Engineers and end-users who use dosing skid systems for water treatment or PAA dosing for food and beverage facilities can now design and select complete dosing solutions based on their needs, then visualize their customized system,” said Jay Stellmacher, vice president of sales for industry. “They can change any of their answers on the fly with the available drop-down tabs and instantly see a new customization.”

Historically, chemical dosing pump skid systems would require someone to have in-depth knowledge of a dosing pump manufacturer’s variations and related capabilities to fit into specific applications along with the right know-how to correctly install them. In the new tool, Grundfos has integrated recommendations provided by the company’s dosing experts for materials of construction that are based on the selection of the chemical being pumped.

“When we set out to design the Dosing Skid Configurator, we knew that system integrators and engineers had enough on their plates, so the goal was to make their lives easier,” said Jared Gabel, Grundfos business development manager for water treatment. “At Grundfos, we want to be simple to do business with, and this tool is proof of that.”

The Dosing Skid Configurator allows the user to design their custom skid system by selecting the flow capacity and discharge pressure per pump, and pumped liquid for applications that include 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite, 93% Sulfuric Acid, 10% Hydrochloric Acid, 50% Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Bisulfate, or Peracetic Acid. In the future, Grundfos plans to add more chemicals for the pumped liquid section based on customer feedback. Additionally, selections are available to factor in controls and functionality, from remote Start/Stop to graphical display, Field Bus Protocol, number of pumps (simplex or duplex), floor or wall mounting, and pipe material or choice between standard/vented ball valves.

“The focus on packaged pump solutions is increasing as system providers look upon the expertise of pump manufacturers,” said Gabel. “This is especially true in the mystical world of chemical feed systems.”

Grundfos Engineered Systems and packaged Dosing Skid System solutions for industrial, municipal and commercial buildings applications are designed and manufactured in the company’s Brookshire, Texas, facility. Solutions include optimized pumping systems with intelligent controls and packaged plants that include a selection of the most efficient equipment technology available for each application.
