Grundfos Hydro MPC CME, pressure booster pumps, Grundfos, packaged pumping system for pressure boosting and HVAC applicationsGrundfos is launching the Hydro MPC CME, the newest member of the Hydro MPC platform. The compact, reliable and energy efficient packaged pumping system is ideal for pressure boosting and HVAC applications in apartments, large homes and multistory buildings.

“Our Grundfos engineering team has worked hard to expand our industry-leading Hydro MPC range to include the new Hydro MPC CME,” said Greg Bretz, vice president of commercial buildings for Grundfos. “This new system will provide all the benefits of our world-class CU 352 controller, but in a more compact system with a smaller footprint.”

The Hydro MPC CME system offers superior performance and industry-leading reliability. Key features include a performance range of max 330 gpm and max pressure 145 psi; efficiency-based pump sequencing; end of curve protection; check valve failure detection, and more. Additionally, a suction pressure transducer is included for dry-running protection.

The Grundfos Hydro MPC CME will be displayed for the first time at AHR Expo in Orlando at the Orange County Convention Center from Feb. 3-5, 2020. Attendees can get a hands-on look at the Hydro MPC CME and other products and solutions, including the first end- suction pump with proportional pressure in Grundfos booth #3361.

tekmar Control Systems, a Watts brand, has developed Invita® WiFi thermostats now works with Alexa and Google Assistant voice controls.

With a quick, “Alexa, turn up the kitchen by five degrees,” or “Hey Google, set the kitchen to 75 degrees;” Invita will change the temperature setting accordingly.

The new voice controls will also respond to questions – such as current temperature, mode, or the heating or cooling setpoint. Voice controls will also change operating mode, such as off, heat, cool, or auto, and change the heating or cooling setpoint up or down by certain degrees or to a specific setting.

All Invita WiFi Thermostats offer these new features; no update is required to use this new functionality. Users can visit the Invita WiFi Thermostat landing page for instructions about how to enable these features.

Spirotherm introduces Spirocombi Magnet for superior air elimination and protection of system components.

Spirotherm Spirocombi MagnetSpirotherm, the leading manufacturer of coalescing-type air and dirt separators, introduces a new combination air and dirt separator that includes magnets and a universal connection. Building on the legacy of the reliable Spirovent air eliminator, the Spirocombi Magnet delivers the same air separation efficiency and adds fast and effective separation of ferrous and non-ferrous debris.

Powerful magnets located on the exterior of the housing surround the flow-path of the system water to efficiently capture ferrous material. By sliding the magnet jacket down, the collected debris can be flushed from the unit without having to isolate or open the unit.

The Spirocombi Magnet includes a rotating universal connection that allows installation in horizontal or vertical piping, accommodating both traditional and wall-mount boiler installations. Sizes 3⁄4”, 1”, 11⁄4”, 11⁄2” and 2” are available with threaded, sweat and press fit connections.

With a design that combines air elimination and dirt separation in a single unit, installation is simplified while protecting system equipment from corrosion and ferrous material. Constructed from quality materials, the Spirocombi Magnet is backed by a 20-year limited warranty.
