Posted on October 25, 2018May 1, 2023 by Dan Kelbaugh

The Skidmore X-Series Boiler Feed from N.H. Yates

Boiler feed pumps are specifically designed to pump feed water into a steam boiler. This feed water may come from a fresh water supply or condensate water recycled from the steam of the boiler. Most boiler feed pumps are high-pressure assemblies that create suction from the condensate return pump, however, they may be part of the centrifugal pump in some systems. At N.H. Yates, we are proud to represent the entire line of Skidmore X-Series Boiler Feed Pumps. The X-Series Boiler Feed Pump is a reliable, efficient, and easy to maintain pump created with a user-friendly compact, space-saving design.

Why Choose the Skidmore X-Series Boiler Feed?

Skidmore’s X-Series Boiler Feed pumps move condensate and/or makeup water directly into your boiler or boilers. The X-Series’ pumping action is triggered by a level controller mounted in the boiler tank to maintain the boiler’s water level requirements. Each X-Series Boiler Feed comes with a heavy-duty and easily removable float to operate the unit’s make-up valve. In addition, each pump comes with a long-lasting impeller that ensures smooth and efficient water passage along with a mechanical seal capable of handling temperatures up to 250º F.

Taco LoadMatch System

Posted on September 18, 2018May 1, 2023 by Dan Kelbaugh

Get the Taco LoadMatch System from N.H. Yates

The Taco LoadMatch is a hydronic system that is more energy efficient and produces less waste than traditional air-cooled HVAC systems. The LoadMatch is a more energy efficient system because it uses water, which has a higher specific gravity than air. This means the hydronic LoadMatch system only requires about half the energy of a comparable air-cooled system to move the same amount of BTUs around a building. The Taco LoadMatch System also uses a much simpler design than most air systems. Rather than a complicated system of pipe fittings, insulation, control valves, and balancing valves, Taco’s LoadMatch System utilizes a single pipe design to cool even very large, industrial buildings.

The Taco LoadMatch Concept

The LoadMatch hydronic system is a combination of two old concepts merged with a new technology. The two old concepts are single pipe distribution and primary-secondary pumping. A primary distribution system is a single loop, while the secondary distribution system is a decoupled secondary piping loop for each terminal unit in the system. The new technology comes in the form of Taco’s maintenance-free wet rotor circulators which provide a specified flow to each terminal unit in the system loop at all times.

Key Component of the LoadMatch System

The Taco LoadMatch has several unique components that make up this efficient hydronic system:

Taco LoadMatch Circulators

The LoadMatch Series Circulators were designed for quiet and efficient operation. This unit’s patented design is easily serviceable without removing the entire unit from the piping system. In fact, all LoadMatch Circulators use a unique “00” replaceable cartridge which contains all of the moving parts so you can easily repair the unit without losing functionality.

Taco LoadMatch Thermostats

Taco LoadMatch Thermostats give users exceptional control of the heat pump of fan coil of your LoadMatch system. The all-in-one control can be preprogrammed to suit individual LoadMatch applications with little, or, no additional configuration necessary. In addition, there are LoadMatch Thermostats compatible with BACnet, Echelon-Lontalk while non-communicating versions can be used with virtually any system.

Taco LoadMatch Twin-Tee Fittings

Taco’s patented LoadMatch Twin-Tee fitting assures the comfort and performance of its single pipe hydronic system and primary secondary two-pipe hydronic system. The Twin-Tee was designed to replace the two primary circuit tees used to connect a secondary piping circuit to a primary piping circuit in a hydronic system. In addition, the Twin-Tee ensures that the secondary piping circuit is decoupled, so the flow of the secondary circuit, when the secondary pump is off and the primary pump is on, is zero. It also ensures the flow in other circuits is not affected by the operation of the secondary circuit pump.

Water Control Corporation High Capacity System

Posted on September 10, 2018May 1, 2023 by Dan Kelbaugh

Water Control Corporation High Capacity Ultrafiltration System

The number of harmful bacteria that can live, and thrive in plumbing systems can be frightening. Legionella, Pseudomonas, Mycobacterium, E. Coli, Cryptosporidium, Rotavirus are only a few of the harmful organisms that can contaminate a water supply and spread to people and animals. Unfortunately, the conditions in many commercial and institutional facilities are ideal for the growth of these harmful pathogens. Often, filtration systems in use at many of these large facilities are not adequate at managing the levels of these harmful organisms. Fortunately, there is a better alternative. The Water Control Corp High Capacity Ultrafiltration System utilizes a three-tier approach in the fight to control Legionella and other harmful pathogen levels in water. Each level of the Water Control Corporation’s High Capacity Ultrafiltration System features a German hollow fiber technology that removes 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and other harmful organic matter that serve as nourishment for these organisms. However, the filter does allow substances dissolved in water, such as disinfectants, to remain in the water. These disinfectants are much more efficient due to the lack of new organisms introduced into the water stream.

Point of Entry Treatment

The first level of defense for this High Capacity Ultrafiltration System is the Point of Entry filter located where the water enters the building. The Point of Entry Treatment system’s flow-through design filters 99.99% of harmful bacterias, viruses, and sediments from the water supply. The filtration membrane has an 8-10 year lifespan and complies with all EPA integrity verifications. The Point of Entry unit is low maintenance, self-cleaning, and has an optional filtered bypass system for emergency or cleanings, and hooks up to a 120VAC power supply.

Point of Use Treatment

The second level of defense is the Point of Use Treatment System. This level is designed to provide safe water to cooling towers, humidifiers, misters, and other water features and banks of fixtures. This Pont of Use Sytems again uses a flow-through filter design that kills 99.99% of harmful substances in drinking water with a very low-pressure loss. For toilets and other flushable systems, these units feature a flushable membrane and an intuitive control system with a 72 PSI pressure relief mechanism. The Point of Use Treatment System has a working range of 40° to 104° F and a working pressure range of 30 t0 73 PSI.

Hot Water Recirculation Treatment

The final layer of defense is the Hot Water Recirculation Treatment which continuously filters hot water as it re-circulates around your building. Again, this system kills 99.99% of harmful organisms in your plumbing hot water. This unit flushes on percent fouling and operating time and features an intuitive control system that protects water heaters. The Hot Water Recirculation system has a working range of 40° to 158° with a max intermittent temp of 170° F and a working pressure range of 30 to 73 PSI.
