INTELLIDYNE FA ENERGY ECONOMIZER The Intellidyne FA is a forced air heating system fuel economizer that guarantees to reduce fuel consumption, wear and tear on parts, flue emissions, and system run time by 10% or more. Intellidyne's "dynamic cycle management"™ reduces burner run
time, which results in energy savings. Intellidyne—www.intellidynellc.com
PUMPING STATION EXPANDS TACO'S SOLAR PRODUCT LINE Taco's solar technology combines all the products needed for a closed-loop water heating system into a single, pre-engineered
package. There are just five easy connections to make: two for the solar collector(s), two for the storage tank's heat exchanger, and one for the expansion tank. The solar pumping station includes an integral variable speed solar control pump, isolation ball vales, air elimination, flow meter and safety group. The unit continually adjusts pump speed to maximize solar collec- tor output, a feature that increases system performance by 20%.
As an example of its operation, the unit does not pull 80° water from the collector(s) if the tank's set-point is 120°. If a higher Delta-T is maintained through the collector, then higher source temperatures are achieved over longer periods of time regardless of weather conditions. Taco's solar products work with any solar thermal application, whether drain-back, open loop, or closed loop. They offer user-definable output for: heat dump, 1 or 2 storage tanks, storage tank supplement or booster pump. Also the all-in-one design means each Taco product is pre-engineered, pre-plumbed, pre-wired and easy to install. Taco—www.taco-hvac.com
HYDROSTAT
The HydroStat 3150 is a temperature limit and low water cut-off for oil fired boilers. The HydroStat can be used in two ways: as a uni- versal replacement for common aquastat controls or as a dual function temp limit and low water cut-off. Bill Montgomery, Hydrolevel's national sales
manager noted, "Many installers view the HydroStat as an original equipment control. They have not yet caught on to the universal replacement capability of HydroStat."
