Adiabatic cooler
The TrilliumSeries Adiabatic Cooler is ideal for HVAC applications that demand a combination of energy efficiency and limited water use, including data centers, health care facilities and hotels. This cooler can operate at a high dry switch point and offers up to 20% energy savings versus alternatives in the marketplace, thanks to its smart water management system comprised of high-efficiency pre-cooler pads, a dual pump recirculating system and intelligent controls, the company says. High-efficiency pre-cooler pads are specially developed with a unique anti-stick, anti-algae growth, and UV resistant coating to extend the life of the pads and deliver maximum heat rejection. In addition, this new product contains a dual pump recirculating system to ensure code compliance with ASHRAE Standard189.1, which forbids the use of once-through systems, and that water is re-used rather than sent directly to drain. Intuitive, intelligent controls continuously optimize operation based on real-time weather and load conditions.

Flush valves
Engineered to deliver superior performance and reliability with less maintenance, Ultima Selectronic Touchless Diaphragm Flush Valves are equipped with advanced touchless technology, self-cleaning wiper springs, full mechanical override for use without external power and premium chemical-resistant diaphragm material to help ensure a superior level of water efficiency, cleanliness, reliability and longevity, the company says. To better reduce the spread of germs, the new valve system boasts an advanced automatic touchless operation for a variety of different applications. For easy install, an advanced CR-P2 lithium battery comes included, which has up to five years of life at 4,000 flushes per month and a 10-year shelf life. The valves are also available in hard-wired models that use an AC transformer and includes a 10-foot extension cable that allows for remote installation.

Hydronics system pressurized solution
The Bell & Gossett Glycol Make-up Unit GF60 (GMU) is an automated 110V diaphragm pump with digital control. Each engineered package is designed to maintain critical minimum pressure levels to make up for losses that may occur due to leakage. The automated system operates as needed to add water or water-glycol solution to a closed loop heating, chilled water, process, snowmelt or radiant heat system. The versatile unit can handle output pressures from 7.5 to 70 psi and has a self-priming pump. In the event of a leak, the system immediately notifies the operator that the fluid level is dropping. The GMU safely shuts off the pump if the storage tank level gets too low, and a pressure relief valve provides protection from excess pressure.

Balancing valves
The RecircSetter is a field adjustable thermostatic balancing valve for hot water recirculation system applications. Made of corrosion-resistant, lead-free alloy, it utilizes a thermostatic balancing cartridge which eliminates the need for pressure ports and allows the valve to balance on temperature rather than pressure or flow. It is certified to NSF 61 and NSF 371 for use in potable hot water systems. Available in six different models with various configurations.

Circulator pumps
Grundfos announced the next generation of small circulators for the residential heating market with the introduction of the Grundfos Digital NEXT range — starting with the UPSe 15-58 in late 2022, followed by the release of the new, digital ALPHA 15-58 in early 2023. Both circulators feature Best-in-class Hydraulic Institute Energy Rating in the market at 193, along with improved wiring for easier installation with a toolless power connector, automatic self-venting eliminates the risk of air in the pump, robust startup, dry-run protection and troubleshooting aid with alarm and warning lights.
