IAPMO published a new standard, IGC 325: High-Efficiency Oil/Water Separators. It brings a performance-based approach to the oil separator market and introduces a new term: High-Efficiency Oil/Water Separator.
Learn how microgrids, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and fuel cells can work together to enable mission-critical facilities to have an independent power source.
I don't like using public restrooms when I travel for work. You never know what condition they'll be in. I choose a stall away from other people. Others feel the same, according to Bradley Corp.'s Healthy Handwashing Survey.
A design engineer invited me to a school building for a challenging project. I found an old boiler with several leaks and a tight budget. The system was a two-pipe system that circulated heated water during winter and chilled water during summer. The owner wanted lower fuel costs and a quicker changeover between heating and cooling.
Plumbing systems in buildings require careful selection of vertical or horizontal piping distribution. The building type is a key factor in this decision, and relevant codes and standards must be followed.
The author reflects on a recent trip to South America and Antarctica and discusses the topic of identifying back-feed potentials within domestic hot water risers, drawing from an article by Miles Ryan, PE, about typical issues found in high-rise residential buildings.
While exploring International Code Council's first report of proposals for modifications to the Group A Codes, I became curious about which codes are being discussed the most. I decided to take a deeper look and get answers to three questions.
Last month, we discussed how solid thermal energy storage, combined with an air-to-water heat pump and an electric boiler, provides a platform to leverage time-of-use electrical rates in ways that can benefit customers as well as the utility providing the electricity.
Sequoia is a high voltage immersed electrode hot water boiler series for large commercial and industrial applications requiring a virtually 100% energy efficient, emission-free heating solution.
The Lochinvar Lectrus Electric Boiler is an electric boiler that’s ideal for any application requiring sustainable alternatives to natural gas or propane models.
The new Brute XTR commercial boilers and volume water heaters are available in six sizes, ranging from 399 MBH to 1500 MBH, and deliver AHRI-certified thermal efficiency of more than 96%.
