Hydronic Boilers

Hydronic Boilers The Modular 900 Series hydronic boilers are said to be designed for 25-years-plus of life. The modular system means building heat is efficiently maintained because the boilers automatically come online as required, but remain offline when not needed. The system allows for tailoring to the specific needs of a building, an alternative to a single large boiler scaled to the most extreme need.

Installed in a sequenced configuration, the boilers reportedly maximize fuel economy and minimize boiler vessel wear. Each boiler can be fired at 1 million
BTUs. Burners can fire gas, oil or gas/oil dual fuel. The 125-psi firetube
boilers can be configured to deliver space heating, domestic hot water or a combination of both from one vessel. The hot water coil is optional. A 97-ft. copper coil is indirectly heated by boiler water, rather than direct flame, for long life and delivers hot water at 15 gallons per minute.

Portable Computer

Portable Computer The GMII-102 portable service computer is said to be ideal for heavy industrial conditions because it can handle the shocks of mobility.

The computer has 2.0-GHz or 3.0-GHz Pentium 4 processors, eight expansion slots and high capacity hard disk drive in a package measuring 16-in. wide, 10.75-in. long and 8.25-in. deep. It is reportedly loaded with enough storage capacity to fulfill backup storage, multiple segmented networks, file transfers and field audits. The system can also handle image, graphics and video processing, including data intensive video editing and three-dimensional visualization. Each unit can be configured with a single high-capacity hard disk drive with a minimum 80-GB disk capacity and two additional
drive bays.

Circular Saw Blades

Endurance Carbide Tipped 8-in. Metal Cutting Circular Saw Blades are ideal for ferrous and nonferrous metals. They reportedly provide fast cutting, long life and resist bending and twisting and deliver straight cuts with clean, burr-free edge and minimal heat and sparks.

The blades are available in 42-tooth (model 48-40-4515) and 50-tooth (48-40-4520) versions. The 42-tooth blade is recommended for metals more than 3/32-in. thick, and the 50-tooth blade for thinner materials. The blades reportedly do not produce a cloud of abrasive dust. The tooth tips are made from a specially formulated material that gives them higher wear resistance compared with standard tungsten carbide. The blades also feature vibration-dampening geometry, which results in lower noise and vibration levels. The line
also comes in 6.5-in. blades in 40-, 48- and 60-tooth configurations for nonferrous metals/plastics, ferrous metals and fiber cement.
