We are very pleased to announce the addition of the new ecocirc 19-14 heating circulators to our line of energy efficient products. As with the rest of the ecocirc line, this new offering also utilizes Electronically Commutated/Permanent Magnet motors, which by design are more efficient than permanent split capacitor induction motors. This technology also offers more flexibility than standard motors allowing us to add features via software logic rather than hardware that would otherwise add cost.
The V-Series Rotary Air Dampener
We all know the importance of maintaining proper O2 levels with burners. Newer controls and linkageless controls definitely have improved your ability to control O2. Advances have also been made with O2 trim, and the O2 sensors have become more reliable and a little less costly. Therefore, the burner manufacturer has the ability to make improvements in

Where did the term “Boiler Horse Power” come from?
Maybe you are all clear where the term Boiler HP came from, but I wasn’t, so I began my quest. I quickly found that one Mechanical HP = 33,000 ft-lb/min and one Boiler HP = 33, 475 BTUH and the similarity of these two number, without units, got my interest. It appears that James Watt needed a needed a marketing piece to sell his steam engines and people of the time

Centrifugal Pump Readout Corrections – Part 2
Last week the Monday Morning Minute introduced some considerations when using gauge readings to compare with your centrifugal pump curves. Today let’s look at some additional corrections. The vertical axis on the pump curve is the total dynamic head (TDH). When taking gauge readings at the pump tappings provided, we must consider three possible contributors to the
Centrifugal Pump Readout Corrections – Part 1
Last week the Monday Morning Minute article outlined the procedures we use during a check, test, and start-up of a B&G centrifugal pump. After converting from field gauge readings in PSIG to pump head in feet, there are several reasons why the results may be incorrect. The speed of the motor is different than the speed of
Centrifugal Pump Start Up
You specified the best, Bell and Gossett. The contractor purchased the best, Bell and Gossett. Now how do you make sure it is operating the best! Once a B&G base mounted centrifugal pump is installed in your hydronic system we recommend it be commissioned with a specified check, test, and start-up service. This service, when performed by
