Abstract: A low water cut-off switch assembly features a two-part base assembly having a lower base part and an upper base part. The lower base part is made from a metallic material, configured to be adapted on piping having a fluid flow, and also configured with a central orifice to receive a paddle arm that pivots on an axis in response to the fluid flow in the piping. The upper base part is made from a non-metallic material, configured with a corresponding central orifice to receive the paddle arm, and configured with a channel to receive a pivot arm to mount and allow the paddle arm to pivot on the axis in order to actuate an ON/OFF switch in response to the fluid flow. The non-metallic material of the upper base part has a substantially lower coefficient of heat transfer than the metallic material of the lower base part, so as to substantially reduce condensation build-up in the low water cut-off switch, e.g., especially when the low water cut-off switch is used in applications exposed to temperatures below freezing, including chiller applications.

Abstract: A valve includes a body having upstream and downstream ports, both ports configured relative to a common axis, and includes a ball arranged to rotate relative to the common axis between open and closed positions to allow for fluid flow/non-fluid flow. The ball has a calibrated member having a calibrated orifice that has a flow coefficient, pressure taps located upstream and downstream of the calibrated orifice and in communication with the upstream and downstream ports respectively to measure upstream and downstream pressures when in the open position, the upstream and downstream pressure taps are angled relative to the common axis, so conditions of fluid flow are determined based on a measured pressure differential between upstream and downstream pressure taps relative to the flow coefficient of the calibrated orifice when in the open position.

Abstract: A condition monitoring device for monitoring machinery includes a combination of on-board sensors and a condition monitoring module. The on-board sensors include modules for non-contact temperature, magnetic flux and 3-axis vibration sensing of the machinery. The condition monitoring module provides a condition monitoring signal containing information about an operating condition of the machinery, based upon a data synthesis condition monitoring technique that synthesizes non-contact temperature, magnetic flux and 3-axis vibration sensed data received from the combination of on-board sensors, determines a current operating condition of the machinery, and compares the current operating condition and the baseline operating condition of the machinery.

Abstract: A balance or flow limiting valve features a valve body/member having a flow rate indicator/scale containing setting having printed flow rates calibrated in units of measure in volume per time increment between a minimum flow rate position (MIN) and a maximum flow rate position (MAX); and a knob/handle having a position indicator and being moveable to any continuous position on the flow rate indicator/scale between MIN and MAX in response to a user applied force, where the relationship between the flow rate indicator/scale and the position indicator is based on calibrated flow characteristics of the balance or flow limiting valve. The user can set an exact desired flow rate in one operation by moving the knob/handle to a desired position between MIN and MAX without consulting a printed flow curve or balance calculator to determine the desired exact flow rate.
