Water Disinfection Systems For Businesses

The board of health mandates water disinfection systems for businesses supplying potable well water to public systems greater than 25 people per day. Chemical disinfection using chlorine is generally considered the method of choice because it is reliable and practical. Flexcon's new Mix Master baffle tank is one of the most effective High Mixing Disinfection Systems currently available. Like the water that comes out of it, the choice is clear when it comes to Mix Master.

The Mix Master ensures uniform mixing and sufficient residence time to meet the CT (contact time) standard set by most health agencies in the United States. This remains true even when water is flowing continuously. With a 0.7 baffle factor, as tested by the Water Quality Association test labs, it also takes up less space because one tank does the work of 4 normal tanks.

Materials of Construction

• Top and bottom domes: Injection molded copolymer polypropylene
• Shell: Extruded copolymer polypropylene
• Outer shell: Fiberglass-wound, coated with epoxy resin
• Base: Injection molded high-impact ABS 
• Connection: Rigid Schedule 80 PVC
• Top port fitting: Stainless steel reinforced glass filled polyproylene insert molded into the top dome 
• Inner baffle: Copolymer polypropylene 
• Inner standpipe: Schedule 40 PVC with diffuser cap

Energy Savings For Fans And Pumps

The P-series by Franklin Controls is a variable frequency drive that is optimized for fans and pumps. It features an automatic energy saving mode that minimizes losses by optimizing flux control. Everyone knows variable frequency drives save you money by varying motor speed to match demand. Our automatic energy savings mode minimizes losses by optimizing the output power for higher efficiency. Under low load conditions, Sleep Mode deactivates the drive and its output – then awakens and reactivates output when demand rises to unlock additional savings. It also extends the life of the equipment

Features

• Space Vector control for efficiency and long motor life 
• Advanced PID control (Pre-PID and Dual PID) to maintain a constant control of pressure, flow or water level 
• Multi-motor control function 
• Automatic energy savings mode 
• Flying start protection prevents trips 
• Pre-heater function protects motor and inverter from damage when installed in damp location

Hot Water Temperature Maintenance

Large commercial buildings need a way to provide hot water at the tap in the most energy efficient way, without long waits or wasting water. Pentair Thermal Management has a sophisticated domestic hot water temperature maintenance (HWAT) system that provides immediate hot water at the tap that is a nice alternative to a recirculation system.

Whereas, a recirculation system:

• Requires that you keep the water heater temperature in the system at least five degrees above the maintain temperature to compensate for the heat that is lost in the recirculation loop. 
• Requires return lines, pumps, and balancing valves as part of the system. 

Pentair Thermal Management hot water temperature maintenance (HWAT) system provides a simple, reliable alternative to recirculation in commercial buildings. The HWAT system:

• Maintains the water at a uniform temperature along the entire length of the supply pipe. Thus, it is unnecessary to heat the water above the maintain temperature. 
• Includes HWAT heat trace cables that can be installed up to the fixture, which mean that you get hot water faster and waste less water.

HWAT is a fully integrated system that includes:

• Electric heat trace cables – the HWAT-Y2 and HWAT-R2 heat trace cables adjust their power output along the entire length of the pipe to compensate for variations in water temperature and ambient temperature. These cables are designed for installation on hot water supply pipes underneath standard pipe insulation. 
• Connection kits and accessories – items for making electrical connections and properly completing the installation, such as power connection and end seal kits. 
• Advanced control systems – electronic controllers that monitor and/or control the desired temperature maintenance of the pipes. 

The HWAT-ECO and ACCS-30 electronic temperature controllers optimize the energy efficiency of the HWAT system by controlling the pipe temperature with either HWAT heat trace cable. The temperature set point can be programmed on a 24/7 schedule to suit the specific job requirements, providing the maximum water temperature control and energy savings to the end user.

The Benefits Of Geothermal

Geothermal technology harnesses the Earth’s renewable thermal energy stored just below the surface or in large bodies of water for the purposes of providing forced air heating and cooling, hot and chilled water and dehumidification. The system exchanges the natural heating and cooling properties of the Earth between a building and the ground. This transfer of energy is the source of enhanced performance and environmental superiority as Geothermal systems employ a small amount of electrical energy to capture, move and concentrate a large amount of “free energy” provided by the Earth. The result is the utmost in space conditioning.

Ground source heat pumps are the most commonly applied geothermal system today for both residential and commercial applications. They take the natural heating and cooling properties of the Earth to create "free energy" for a given space. The beautiful thing for end users is that only a small amount of electrical energy is needed to capture, move and concentrate this energy.
