AGF Manufacturing
Test ball valve with pressure relief and integrated sight glass
AGF Manufacturing introduced the updated 3011A InspectorsTest Valve featuring an integrated sight glass and relief valve drain access port to combine the best features from the 3011A and 3011ASG valves, plus the new 7000L Pressure Relief Valve. By integrating the sight glass and drain port into a single fitting, AGF has eliminated extra pipe fittings and the need for a separate sight glass, providing a more streamlined and efficient solution for testing and maintenance of fire protection systems, the company says. The 3011A InspectorsTest Valve will now include the new 7000L Pressure Relief Valve, which offers a lockout feature for hydrostatic testing and is available in 175, 200, 225 and 300 psi.
Caleffi North America
Motorized zone valves
Z-one valves are quick to install and commission in hot water, chilled water and low-pressure steam applications, Caleffi says. The valves feature a reliable design with a clutch-protected drive train and durable synchronous motor. The end switch is activated when the valve is powered open or when manually opened with the lever. The removable bottom cap allows for easy in-pipe service.
Oventrop
Multifunctional connection set
Oventrop recently launched the Flypass Multifunctional Connection Set — a compact, versatile alternative to the standard coil kit. With less components and less leakage risk, it’s a more cost-effective, easier to install option for customers, the company states. The Flypass Set can also be supplied with a low-flow Pressure Independent Control Valve to maintain a constant flow rate between 0.13 and 0.92 gpm, even in the presence of varying pressure conditions. The desired flow rate is maintained, regardless of changes in the system, resulting in more precise temperature control. Ideal for the fan coil unit, it will also save space with its unique design and save time with easy maintenance and multiple operating modes.
York
Air-cooled magnetic-bearing centrifugal chiller
Johnson Controls announced the launch of the York YVAM air-cooled magnetic-bearing centrifugal chiller operating with the low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant, R-1234ze, for hyperscale and colocation data center cooling. To maximize uptime, the YVAM features Quick Start technology with integral uninterruptible power supply (UPS) backup, allowing the chiller to return to full load in as little as three minutes after power is restored. The chiller uses a variable-speed drive with active front-end to lower energy consumption and total harmonic distortion. The full-load sound is only 65 dBA at a distance of 10 meters. The machine’s lubrication-free design also eliminates the complexity of subsystems and reduces the costs of routine maintenance and system checks, the company says.
