IN FOCUS

ABS is launching the Next Generation of the ContraBlockTM system, well-known for blockage-free pumping for more than 30 years. The blockage-free operation and the high hydraulic efficiency have already proven themselves in more than 1 million installations world-wide.

Dosing pumps must be reliable and precise. It’s that simple.

With the new and innovative Grundfos dosing pumps you no longer have to worry as it gives you unique control of the additives administred in your system.

At this year’s ISH, KSB Armaturen GmbH will debut an intelligent control valve with slanted seat and microprocessorized actuator. Available from June 2001, the new BOA-CVE SuperCompact valve is designed for use in heating and air-conditioning systems as well as in auxiliary industrial circuits. Depending on the desired pressure and on the temperature in a given circuit, the new valve serves to control or shut off the flow as required. A freely and individually parameterizeable electric actuator adapts to practically any building services application.

On January 18, KSB Aktiengesellschaft in Frankenthal introduced to the trade press a new, floatless control system for submersible motor pumps. The core component of this innovation is its “Intelligent Control System“, ICS® , a computerized control unit integrated into a plastic housing for lateral attachment to the submersible motor pump.
