A three-phase, general-purpose uninterruptible power supply (UPS), the MGE Galaxy 3500 is suitable for 10- to 30-kva applications, such as small data centers and industrial environments. Relying on hot-swappable batteries, the UPS results in reduced downtime and increased runtime scalability. Its double-conversion online topology, critical for process-control, industrial, electrical-room, and automation-control applications, delivers zero transfer time and perfect regulation.

An auto-cleaning kitchen hood that handles grease extraction and filter cleaning, Grease Grabber H2O incorporates a dual-stage filtration system that combines Grease-X-Tractor and the Grease Grabber filter to remove 100 percent of grease that is 5 microns or larger from air streams. This works in conjunction with a solenoid-powered system in the hood that sends hot water mixed with detergent to spray nozzles aligned along the filter banks and plenum area. The mix is recaptured, and a high-efficiency pump recirculates it to conserve water. The system purges and rinses with fresh hot water, eliminating the need to remove and clean filters by hand. — Greenheck
