Designed for high current applications, the rugged rings prevent damage to generators and motors. A range of available sizes ensures compatibility with most motor shafts. The unit is designed to safely divert up to 120 A of continuous shaft current, works under harsh conditions, and can be replaced along with the bearing itself. www.est-aegis.com #1 Energy assessment software VE-Ware, designed by Integrated Environmental Solutions, increases the efﬁciency of buildings by providing instant feedback on energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions based on real geometry. It is suitable for use at early stages to make design changes because it allows the comparison of different design, layout, and system options. Detailed energy and carbon assessments can be obtained by with the pressing a few buttons. Only models from Autodesk’s BIM Revit platform will be accepted at ﬁrst, but more options will be introduced. www.iesve.com #2 Check valve Stop-Silent valves, manufactured by Lasso, provide water hammer relief and tight, nonreturn shut-off for existing ﬂanged piping systems. The design can be implemented directly into a ﬂanged pip system without structural or housing alterations. The valve has no movable parts, making it more durable, and it can be manufactured out of various materials per demand. The units can handle ﬂuids up to 10 ft/sec and gases up to 50 ft/sec in an operating temperature range of -4 to 356 F. www.stopsilent.com #4 IP communications receiver The Conettix D6100i communications receiver manufactured by Bosch Security Systems is suitable for small central stations, university campuses, or gated communities. The system can receive supervision messages from control panels, which helps ensure uninterrupted functionality. The monitoring signals can be sent at a programmed rate from 5 sec to 21 min to ﬁt different needs. The receiver also protects against potential damage activity or tampering by alerting the control panel. www.boschusa.com #3 Current pressure switches Setra Systems introduces the CSS and CSC series of current pressure switches, which use magnetic current sensing technology. The CSC model has a split core and is ideal for retroﬁt installations, while the CSS model has a solid core with a wide oriﬁce, making it ideals for new installations. The units are self-powered and offer industry-standard 135- or 200-amp outputs as well as ﬁxed and user-adjustable set points. www.setra.com #5 Waterless soybean urinals Waterless Co. has created a line of urinals that consist of 30% soybean resin among other materials. The urinals function like any other waterless or conventional urinal, but come with a label stating they are partially constructed from soybean resin. www.waterless.com #6 58 Consulting-Specifying Engineer • JULY 2008 http://www.csemag.com/quickResponse http://www.est-aegis.com http://www.iesve.com http://www.stopsilent.com http://www.boschusa.com http://www.waterless.com http://www.setra.com
