Taco ECM Bluetooth Circulator
Taco Comfort Solutions has
unveiled the 0018e high-efficiency,
Bluetooth-enabled
circulator to help provide
more control of residential
and light commercial
hydronic systems than
previous Taco ECM circulators.
The circulator features
Bluetooth communication to
a mobile app, providing real time control, diagnostics
and reporting. Select between multiple constant speed,
proportional pressure and constant pressure modes, as
well as the activeADAPT, self-adjusting proportional
pressure mode. Taco’s BIO Barrier protects the pump
from system contaminants, such as black iron oxide.
Also, SureStart automatically unblocks a locked rotor
and purges air from the circulator.
General Filters Unveils
UV Air Purifier
General Filters, Inc. introduced the
Model 2124-Z, The Zephyr Duct
Mount UV Air Purifier, a lightweight
and effective odor control model that benefits from
both the Singlet Oxygen System and Second Wind’s
photo catalytic (PCO) process to aggressively battle
odors and provide germicidal purification throughout
a home. The UV lamp for this unit lasts for two years,
which helps reduce maintenance costs.
Slant/Fin Compact Commercial Boiler
Slant/Fin introduced the VGH Boiler condensing gas
boiler commercial line with 299, 399 and 500 models.
The 95% efficiency Duo Stainless Steel Water tube
heat exchanger features larger water passages to
increase the heat output, a lower pressure drop on the
water side and lower pressure on the flue gas side for
longer approved vent lengths. This small, lightweight
(under 188 lbs.) boiler is designed for easy access with
a front panel sporting door clips. The longest vent
length is 481 ft. All models have an integrated combustion
analyzer test port and a vent connection designed
to accept PVC, CPVC, Polypropylene and stainless
steel. The VGH onboard control has four built-in
cascade program modes, allows for remote operation
controlling the Heating, DHW and boiler sequencing
and has the ability to cascade up to 16 boilers.
