Powers IntelliStation Jr. digital mixing valve
The IntelliStation Jr. digital mixing valve from Powers, a Watts Water Technologies Co., has an easy-to-install smart mixing valve that connects through the Building Automation System. Passcode-protected and configurable on site, the IntelliStation Jr. does not require factory pre-programming, a laptop or special software to download for commissioning, or when making adjustments to the valve. Other features include: programmable point range of 60 to 180 degrees F; control of water temperature plus or minus 2 degrees F in accordance with ASSE 1017; scheduling feature with temperature setback; lead-free construction; high temperature sanitization mode to address waterborne bacteria; and Wi-Fi enabled for easy software upgrades. 800-669-5430; www.powerscontrols.com.
QED Environmental Systems SlimJim electric pump system
The SlimJim electric pump system from QED Environmental Systems requires no separate control panel and features built-in auto on/off start and run-dry protection. It offers plug-in operation at 115 or 230-volt single-phase power. With a 4.5-inch outer diameter, the pump is compact and easy to handle, and weighs 22 pounds. The pump’s optional three-phase operation with control panels adds other benefits, including variable speed, programmable from an iPhone, and the ability to view and change pump data and parameters. It is ideal for smaller diameter risers such as cleanouts, collapsed pipes or bent risers. With available flow rates up to 30 gpm, the SlimJim can be used in vertical or horizontal applications and is suitable for the same applications as air-powered pumps, but operates at higher flow rates.

Yaskawa America single-phase converter
Yaskawa America expanded its single-phase converter product line up to 125 hp at 460 volts and 60 hp at 230 volts. The SPC converts single-phase power to DC power for Yaskawa variable frequency drives. The SPC’s active power regulator insures minimal stress on the power grid, with less than 10% current distortion and 0.99 power factor at rated load. Combining a low harmonic solution with a soft starting variable frequency drive allows for downsizing transformers and decreased installation costs. The SPC utilizes the same components found in a variable frequency drive, which significantly reduces maintenance time and expenses. 800-927-5292; www.yaskawa.com.
Wanner Engineering Hydra-Cell D66 Series displacement pumps
Wanner Engineering’s Hydra-Cell D66 Series seal-less positive displacement pumps are for use in a wide range of processing, OEM, municipal, and commercial applications. The pumps offer a maximum flow capacity of 65.7 gpm and pressure ratings up to 700 psi for models featuring brass, ductile iron, or 316L stainless steel pumps heads and 250 psi for models equipped with polypropylene pump heads. The seal-less design of the pumps means that there are no mechanical seals, cups, or packing to leak, wear or replace. Spring-loaded, horizontal disk check valves and the seal-less design enable model D66 pumps to handle viscous fluids and abrasive particulates up to 800 microns in size. 800-369-4172; www.hydra-cell.com.
