WXT520 weather transmitters measure wind speed and direction, liquid precipitation, barometric pressure, temperature, and relative humidity. Outdoor measurement of temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure is needed to calculate the enthalpy of outdoor air. With similar information from inside a building, a building-automation system can calculate the most efficient way to reach desired conditions. Wind-speed and direction measurements can be used to improve ventilation control.

For motors and drives, E-Clipse bypass technology is practical for wall mounting and/or fitting into air-handling units and pumping packages. The bypasses allow building managers to keep motors in constant-speed operation, if and when drives need to be maintained. Such operation can be critical, particularly to ensure the performance of intake- and exhaust-air fans during all conditions, including fire. The bypasses communicate directly with building-automation systems.

Automatic self-cleaning water filters remove micron-size suspended solids, independent of specific gravity, from water in once-through and recirculating systems, such as cooling, process, reclaim, effluent, intake, and wash waters. Single filters handle flow rates up to 12,000 gpm but can be banked to handle unlimited flows. Water-filter installation can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal in new or existing piping systems.

Air-cooled chillers are available from 7½ to 350 tons with integrated free cooling. Fifty-percent free cooling is achieved with ambient temperatures 10°F below chilled-water temperature and 100-percent free cooling with 20°F differential. The chillers offer energy savings for any year-round cooling application, such as data centers and other mission-critical sites. Typical investment payback occurs in less than one year.
