Grundfos Engineered Systems Offer Custom Solutions, Single-Source Responsibility

Grundfos Engineered Systems Offer Custom Solutions, Single-Source Responsibility

Across the globe, millions of pumping stations and facilities face thousands of unique challenges and site-specific requirements. With no two projects exactly the same, you deserve a pumping solution as unique as your project. At Grundfos, we leverage our decades of experience and pumping expertise to design and engineer all the components for your perfect fit, plug-and-pump solutions – Grundfos Engineered Systems (GES). GES packages arrive on-site pre-wired, pre-piped and pre-commissioned for ease of installation. Additionally, because total packaged cost and production schedule are accurately determined long before installation, GES packaged systems eliminate the headaches of cost overruns and unforeseen operational problems often experienced with component-built systems.

Pool Opening Spring Start-Up: Top 7 Points for Heaters

Pool Opening Spring Start-Up: Top 7 Points for Heaters

As you start up your pools this spring, it’s important to verify that the heaters are in good running condition. Neglecting potential heater issues stemming from a long cold winter could lead to problems. Here's 7 heater-specific tasks to add to your checklist: Seal Openings: Before priming the pump, ensure any openings used for draining the heater last Fall are securely closed. Check the condition of gaskets and O-rings on drain plugs and plumbing unions and replace any damaged ones. Lubricate them if necessary to maintain functionality and prevent leaks. If you prime the pump before verifying these, spraying water from an unrealized failure point could make it more difficult to identify a more serious problem. Rodent Inspection: If you've used naphthalene mothballs to deter rodents, remove them from the heater before attempting to ignite it, as they are highly flammable. Even if they don't ignite, they can release toxic vapors when heated. Clean out any rodent remnants like nesting material or droppings to avoid foul smells or combustion issue. Debris Removal: Apart from providing fuel for a “side fire”, leaves and other organic debris can accumulate inside the heater, which could restrict airflow or inhibit burner combustion. Inspect the heat exchanger and burners for debris and clear them out. A shop vac is ideal for this task, but a small whisk broom can be handy. Spider Check: While spider webs around the heater periphery might not obstruct combustion, they could indicate the presence of spiders and nests in critical areas like gas jets or burners, which could alter the gas flow rate or volume, and create ignition problems. To ensure smooth operation, investigate further if you find webs. Electrical Integrity: Check all electrical connections, ensuring they are secure and free of exposed wires. This includes screw-down termination blocks and wire nuts. Wires don’t shrink, but the wire covering might. This could create wire exposure at the ends, which could cause a short, or a shock! In a more extreme case, the cover shrinkage could cause the wire to dislodge; make sure all your connections are intact and tight. Gas Line Examination: Inspect all valves that allow the flow gas and ensure they are open, including gas line shut offs and the heater gas valve switch. Bleed the gas line if necessary to expel any trapped air, as insufficient gas delivery can lead to ignition failure. Parts and Materials Ready for Repair: Make sure your truck is stocked with the parts necessary for the small repairs you might find gaskets, O-rings, repair wire, safety sensors/switches, perhaps ignitors or pilot assemblies. Taking these precautions before circulating water through the heater, and certainly before attempting to ignite it, can prevent future headaches, like return visits.

#take5 Paul McHugh talks about mental health and how he will be spending his well being day

The saying goes ‘you can’t pour from an empty cup’, a saying that Paul McHugh from our UK based Steam Business Development team knows well. Paul takes 5 minutes to explain what a wellbeing day means to him and the things he does to fill his cup back up again. The wellbeing day is something that all Spirax-Sarco Engineering plc colleagues can enjoy because all too often in our busy lives, how often do we have some time that is there, just for us? Recognising that work is a part of life rather than life in its entirety is vital to ensure our colleague’s wellbeing for their physical and mental health. What defines wellbeing for each person differs so greatly in terms of activities and yet remain universal as people seek to connect with loved ones, find intellectual stimulation and a few moments for relaxation and peace.

Spirotherm Hydraulic Separator with built-in air & dirt separator

More and more HVAC systems are designed with two separate circuits: The primary loop with a constant speed pump driving flow through the boiler and a separate secondary loop with a variable speed pumps delivering flow through various zones. When installed between the two circuits, the Spirovent Quad is the common pipe (decoupler/hydraulic separator). Not only does it eliminate the need for closely spaced tees, thereby saving on installation time, it also eliminates the need for a separate air separator. The Spirovent Quad is completely filled with coalescing medium to effectively remove 100% free, 100% entrained and 99.6% dissolved air from both the primary and secondary loops. A large collection chamber on the bottom collects debris and strong neodymium magnets capture fine ferrous material that would otherwise deposit as black sludge in other system components. https://www.spirotherm.com/products/hydraulic-separators
