We have represented Konvekta for nearly eight years now. In that time, we have designed and delivered over 34 separate projects. We have supplied Konvekta equipment to a very impressive User Group including key owners like UMass Medical, Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale, Novartis and Millipore. In those eight years, there have been some key… Read more »
Q. I have some questions about pumped glycol systems. What happens if all the entrapped air is not removed from the glycol? Should a closed loop have auto bleed? A. Air bubbles entrapped in the glycol circuit are very detrimental to the thermal performance of the energy recovery system. It causes the heat transfer… Read more »
Two years ago Rick McGinley and I were contacted by Rudolf Zaengerle from Konvekta. Konvekta had done research and had singled out DAC Sales as the firm to represent them in New England. Rick and I were not convinced that Pumped Glycol Run Around loops were viable. They had always been our least favorite means… Read more »
