Efficient, Vertical In-Line Pumps

Patterson’s Vertical In-Line HVAC Pumps are available with energy-saving Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) power and with the company’s CloudStat Real-Time, Web-Based HVAC Pump Monitoring. Schneider Electric Altivar 212 VFDs, mounted directly to Patterson’s VIL HVAC pumps, eliminate the need for pressure reducing or throttling valves or inlet guide vanes. The VFDs can also be retrofitted to existing Patterson VIL constant speed pumps. Patterson CloudStat-enabled Vertical In-Line (VIL) pumps provide a browser-based, real-time view of HVAC pumping status. CloudStat is based on one-way cellular technology, installable without IT involvement, and there are no security risks. The system can monitor up to four pumps without the need for an external PLC. CloudStat interfaces easily with most local supervisory level protocols, including LonWorks® and BACNet, and local control is provided using the integral keypad. Alarms are communicated instantly by email or SMS text to customer-defined contacts. The CloudStat system comprises a control enclosure, modem and quarterly subscription fees for software and data services.

Built-to-Last, Non-Clogging Solids-Handling Pumps

Crane Pumps & Systems says the lines of industrial-fluid-handling pumps offered by its Deming business are known for durability, efficiency and low maintenance. Deming products can be used wherever fluids need to be reliably and efficiently transferred, from general industry to nuclear services. Among them is the family of Demersible Solids Handling Non-Clog pumps for industrial wastewater applications. With their 3″ spherical- solids-handling capability, these heavy-duty units can easily pass materials found in most industrial environments today. Available with flows to over 3250 GPM and heads in excess of 250 ft., Deming Demersibles are designed for continuous operation. A seal-monitoring feature advises when a leak enters the seal chamber. Built-in thermal protection with automatic reset is standard. The manufacturer says these self-lubricated units require only routine inspection.

Low-Maintenance End-Suction Pumps

Bell & Gossett (B&G) is introducing a new Series e-1531 close-coupled, footless end- suction pump. According to the company, advanced computational fluid dynamic techniques were used for the comprehensive redesign of the company’s legacy Series 1531 pumps. The new Series e-1531 joins the recently launched Series e-1532 close coupled, footed, end-suction centrifugal pump. A footless volute increases vertical or horizontal mounting options. Its close-coupled design translates into a compact footprint and offers automatic alignment for easy installation. Backward dimensional interchangeability simplifies retrofit installs. B&G also points to the product’s expanded efficiency profile, or “Efficiency Island,” that ensures high levels of efficiency over a wide range of operating conditions. Available in 15 sizes and a variety of configurations, the 1531 e-Series offers levels of customization and flexibility that let these products fit a broad range of system demands. Stainless steel impellers reduce corrosion or degradation potential from varying water quality. True back pullout capability supports low maintenance and service costs.
