Bell & Gossett to promote efficiency, expertise and education during industry show
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 27, 2015-- Xylem Inc. (NYSE:XYL) continues to advance its Bell & Gossett (B&G) line of highly efficient products with the next wave of innovations at AHR Expo 2015, Jan. 26 through 28 in Chicago. Key highlights include Xylem’s energy efficient pumps, the introduction of the Online Little Red Schoolhouse, and energy-saving system solutions for HVAC and plumbing applications in commercial buildings.
The “POWER OF e” emphasizes the high priority that Xylem’s B&G places on reducing building energy consumption. It means more comfortable environments, a building that’s easier to maintain, and operations that are more cost effective. The “POWER OF e” also underscores Xylem’s expert engineering, evolved technologies, and essential education offered through the Little Red Schoolhouse. The Efficiency Island concept is a critical element of the “POWER OF e,” highlighting Xylem’s superior design for improved overall system energy savings over a broader range of system conditions, including B&G’s new “e-range” pumps.
The Xylem booth at the AHR Expo features the industry-leading “POWER OF e” product line, including the AHR award-winning B&G ecocirc® XL large wet rotor circulator pump, designed to help building owners and operators achieve optimal performance while reducing energy consumption.
“Our new product designs address customer needs for products that help them achieve greater overall system efficiency,” said Mark Handzel, Vice President, Product Regulatory Affairs and Director, HVAC Commercial Buildings for Xylem. “Our goal is to help engineers design efficient systems by taking a highly integrated approach. All of our products take into account how all the components in the system impact each other.”
Next generation virtual training
B&G is featuring demonstrations of its new Online Little Red Schoolhouse — a Web-based extension of its well-respected Little Red Schoolhouse — at the AHR Expo. The Little Red Schoolhouse, located in Morton Grove, Illinois, has been educating the industry for more than 60 years with its hands-on hydronic system training and education center for engineers, contractors and installers.
“The Online Little Red Schoolhouse is a logical next step in our ongoing commitment to education,” Handzel said. “The online format offers greater accessibility to comprehensive training offerings for engineers and others new to the hydronics field, or to refresher courses for those already in the industry.”
The free, interactive, self-paced program will launch with 22 modules that provide centrifugal pump and piping system basics. The program has been designed to allow students to access the training from a computer, tablet or any mobile device via a dedicated learning app. The courses qualify for continuing education credits.
