Designed with an antimicrobial cover and internal airflow path, high durability and vandal resistance, the 2922 Series provides a fast, hygienic hand drying experience requiring little maintenance.
Aerix Hand Dryers save time, operating costs and the environment
Bradley’s complete line of Aerix hand dryers help all types of facilities minimize operating costs, protect the environment by cutting paper waste, are extremely easy to use and maintain, and are convenient to install even in renovations, as mounting holes match those of the most popular models. Universal voltage also adjusts automatically and saves installation time. In addition, Aerix dryers have UL, CSA and CE certifications.
Known as the original adjustable speed hand dryer available in the U.S. that suits any application, Aerix hand dryers’ multiple speeds give facility managers the option of turning up for fast drying in settings such as sports centers, schools or theme parks, or turning down for quiet operation in museums or libraries. The contemporary and sleek design enhance the look of any type of commercial restroom.
Aerix series hand dryers lead the “green” initiative, as they do not pose a deforestation or pollution risk, and use less energy than other models. Aerix models require no waste management, materials storage, or towel changing, refilling or laundry duties, so staff is free to work on other duties. Only minimal staff servicing is involved, as only one cleaning is required annually.

Armstrong International, a world leader in intelligent system solutions for steam, air and hot water utility applications, announces the launch of Steam QM-3*, an automatic steam quality monitoring solution that determines and communicates steam moisture content, the amount of superheat present and the concentration of non-condensable gases in pure/clean steam to yield accurate and reliable steam quality data to provide greater precision to meet European Standard EN 285.
“Until now, measuring steam quality has largely been a manual process, which is time consuming and presents inherent safety and accuracy risks,” said Kerry Phillips, Global Product Manager for Armstrong International. “Steam QM-3 offers a safer and more reliable alternative to the traditional manual method of monitoring steam quality,” Phillips said.
Steam QM-3 is an intelligent solution that allows pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical manufacturers, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities concerned with steam quality to easily and efficiently measure the quality of steam used for sterile applications.
With accuracy within +/-1% steam dryness, Steam QM-3 delivers exceptionally precise results.
Featuring a RS485 connection for data logging, Steam QM-3 continuously monitors to provide trending data over time. The results may be remotely monitored via MODBUS.
Steam QM-3 works by reducing the steam to atmospheric pressure and then introducing additional heat to allow steam dryness to be measured. Superheat measurements are determined by the steam temperature after expansion to atmospheric pressure. Finally, the volume of non-condensable gases is compared to the volume of condensate.
Pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical manufacturers, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities recognize Steam-QM3 to be especially valuable in these applications: clean and pure steam generation, autoclaves for sterilization, process vessels, heat exchangers, heating or drying systems, disinfection/decontamination units, and lyophilizers and aseptic filling machines with sanitation in place.

Aquatherm continues to expand its ecofriendly reach with the arrival of its newest product: 4-in. Aquatherm Blue Pipe® SDR 17.6 faser-composite. This new offering allows for more cost effective installation and increased efficiency in applications such as chilled water, geothermal, and condenser water, among others.
Aquatherm Blue Pipe SDR 17.6 was initially introduced in 6-in. to 24-in.-diameter. However, Aquatherm responded to customer demand for this smaller diameter pipe for water mains applications and similar installations. Standard dimension ratio (SDR) is the ratio of pipe diameter to wall thickness. Aquatherm manufactures pipe in SDRs of 7.4, 11 and 17.6. The SDR 17.6 pipe delivers roughly a 20% higher flow volume than SDR 11 at a lower cost and reduces pipe weight by 35%.
All Aquatherm polypropylene pipe (PP-R) systems are connected via heat fusion – which bonds pipe and fitting at a molecular level, creating a connection that lasts a lifetime and eliminates toxic materials, glues, resins, and open flames from piping installations. The faser-composite layer is Aquatherm’s proprietary blend of fiberglass and PP-R, which allows the pipe to remain rigid at higher temperatures and helps to limit expansion and contraction.
While Aquatherm piping systems have been proven around the world for 40 years, they have increasingly been specified in a wide variety of North American PHVAC systems and applications in commercial, government, industrial and residential projects. Aquatherm Blue Pipe is an alternative to steel and copper pipe and is non-corrosive, nontoxic, does not contain phthalates or BPA, is lead-free, and chemically inert. Additionally, Aquatherm PP-R has a low friction factor, requires less energy to manufacture than other piping products, and is fully recyclable.

American Water Heaters has developed one of the industry’s first fully integrated electronic water heater control module that allows homeowners to remotely control their water heater from a smart phone or tablet through Lowe’s Iris.
Iris is Lowe’s exclusive smart home solution created to monitor and control virtually everything in the home anytime, anywhere from the homeowner’s computer, smartphone, or tablet.
The Iris compatible control modules will be featured on American Water Heaters’ premium Energy SmartTM electric water heaters.
The connected water heater will allow homeowners to use a smartphone or tablet to set water temperatures and operating modes, including activating the money-saving “Vacation” mode while away. Iris also will share diagnostic information regarding water heater operation with the homeowner. An optional leak detection sensor will be available to notify homeowners in the event of a water leak.
Future developments include integrations that will provide homeowners with information on energy use, as well as connect with electric utilities’ demand response systems—the
much-discussed “smart grid.” This reporting will enable homeowners to conserve power in exchange for utility rebates. The “Smart Port” that delivers this connectivity is already available on the Energy Smart line of water heaters.
“We are pleased to continue a longstanding partnership between Lowe’s and American Water Heaters by connecting our premium water heaters to the Iris system,” said Rusty Frontz, vice president of retail sales for American Water Heaters. “Iris facilitates enhanced control of the home environment, so water heater control is a natural next step for homeowners to better manage and monitor their water usage and costs.”
The hardware for the water heater control module was designed by American engineers for integration with American’s successful Energy Smart line of premium electric water heaters, according to Frontz.
American Water Heaters’ premium Energy Smart electric water heaters are available now in Lowe’s stores nationwide, and the Iris compatible control module will be in select Lowe’s stores .
