NewProducts 1| Lochinvar LLC is billing its Thermal-Stor™ Stratified Solar Thermal Storage Tank as a cost-effective method to tap into solar thermal and ground source applications. With an emphasis on hydronic space heating, it uses the natural buoyancy of heated water. As heat is added, the hot water rises to the top and the cooler water settles at the bottom. Thermal-Stor is available in 125- to 900-gallon capacities. www.Lochinvar.com Trane’s line of variable-speed water-source heat pumps now includes the industry’s first horizontal configurations designed for commercial use. The horizontal models feature sizes up to five tons. Its fan technology enables custom on/off cycling modes and airflow parameters, reduces wear and tear and provides a more consistent environment. Trane Axiom water-source heat pumps deliver potential energy savings of up to 60 percent compared to conventional water-source heat pumps. www.Trane.com |2 3| Caterpillar Inc. rolled out the first model in its new line of hybrid excavators— the Cat 336E H. It will be available for order in February, with factory shipments beginning in March. The 336E H has all of the features of the 336E, plus it delivers more fuel efficiency. Customers can expect the 336E H to use up to 25 percent less fuel compared to a standard 336E, and up to 33 percent less fuel than the 330/336D. www.cat.com 5| Lauren Manufacturing of Philadelphia has developed an exclusive silicone dual durometer extrusion.
