Whats New – E-Tech

Posted on by pent_admin

This quarter will be focusing on media content to help you offer your customer the best solution. Bob and I have worked to identify a few topics that we thought would be of interest and benefit to you and your sales people while you are on calls or looking for a resource to send a contact.

These will be a series of E-Tech Education Videos about 1-1/2 minutes in length. Some topics that we have initially identified are:

1. E-Tech History

2. Thermocharger – making room for more heat recovery

3. Condensing Economizers

4. Basics of economizer construction – multiple videos concentrating on specific components.

5. Acid Dewpoint

6. Typical Installation Guide

7. Fuel considerations

Please let us know if you have any requests. These videos will be designed to give very basic information and shared via tablets, mobile phone or website.

NEWS FROM WEBSTER ENGINEERING UL TESTING

Posted on by pent_admin

Webster Engineering has successfully completed the first phase of UL testing that was discussed this year at ASHRAE.

A UL inspector was in Winfield during the week of April 1st and ran the Model JBS2 burners through the required testing procedures.

As a result Webster should have approval for the bulk of the JBS2 and JBSX2 series burners within a fairly short time frame.

The JBS2 will be UL approved from 80 to 170HP, and the JBSX2 will be UL approved from 48 to 131HP.

As soon as WebsterðÌð•s upcoming service schools are completed in mid-April they will begin preparing for the second phase of UL approvals, which will be to obtain a UL listing for all burners in the JBS3 and JBSX3 series.

This should occur in mid to late summer.

WeðÌð•ll let you know just as soon as Webster has the actual UL approvals on the JBS2 and JBSX2 burners, which will allow shipment of these burners with a UL label.

Our expectation is that Webster should be able to ship units, with a UL label, for projects that begin quoting in the next few weeks.

In addition, we will keep you posted on WebsterðÌð•s test schedule for the JBS3 and JBSX3 series burners this summer.

In the Spotlight: MODEL 545 DUPLEX STRAINER

Posted on by pent_admin

Fluid Engineering has added a new design to its product

line. The Model 545 is an in-line duplex liquid

strainer (patent pending) to improve the liquid flow

and save cost in the piping process.

Both sides of the duplex are designed for 100%

process flow and new geometry offers a lower

differential pressure, measured from the inlet flange

to outlet flange. This allows operators to transfer the

flow to the other side of the unit to clean the filter

basket when high differential pressure is observed.

The 545 is also available in an automated design: One side is in process and when the differential

pressure reaches a set point, it sends a signal to the control panel which in turn signals the clean side

valves to open. Once the clean side is open the dirty side valves close and a drain valve opens. At

this point the control panel will send a signal to the main control system alerting the operator that

maintenance is needed to clean the filter basket. If there is no main control panel, the operating

panel can be fitted with either a flashing light or siren. Once maintenance has been performed on

the basket and the closure tightened, a push button on the panel resets all of the functions and the

panel is set for the next high differential pressure.

To whom it may concern:

Ref: Webster Brand Products

It has come to our attention that the market may be confusing burners manufactured by Webster Engineering & Manufacturing Company LLC., located in Winfield, Kansas, and market components such as oil pumps, backflow regulators and ignition transformers that are manufactured by other companies under a ðÌð’WebsterðÌð“ brand. Shown below are several such items.

ðÌð’WebsterðÌð“ Oil Pump ðÌð’WebsterðÌð“ Relief Valve ðÌð’WebsterðÌð“ Ignition Transformer

The first two items are sold under a ðÌð’WebsterðÌð“ brand by Webster Fuel Pumps & Valves, 219 Hahn Road, Frankfort, Ky. 40601, a division of Capital City Tool, Inc. The third item is manufactured and sold by Webster Electric Company, Racine, Wisconsin.

There is no ownership connection or marketing agreements between Webster Engineering & Manufacturing (the burner company) and either Webster Fuel Pumps & Valves or Webster Electric Company.

Webster Eng. & Mfg. builds burners to the specifications of their customers which may or may not include the items shown above.
