Evaporative Pool Dehumidification
By MARK S. LENTZ, PE, Lentz Engineering Associates Inc., Sheboygan Falls, Wis.
In 2003, the pool dehumidification unit serving the Ray & Marie Goldbach, Marathon Area Swim Center in Marathon, Wis., began experiencing operational problems. Those problems became severe in early 2004. By 2009, the Marathon Area Swim Association (MASA) concluded it needed to replace the system. The system MASA chose is a direct-fired, variable-volume, 100-percent-outdoor-air unit equipped with an indirect evaporative precooler used to provide sensible cooling and heating-season energy recovery. The system is installed on the roof of the building, where it is subject to winter design conditions of -25°F. This article compares the performance of the original and replacement systems. [MORE]

TRIPLE-FLEX™ ULTRA-HIGH EFFICIENCY BOILERS Bryan Triple-Flex™ (patent pending) Ultra-High Efficiency Condensing Boilers feature flexible stainless steel tubes, minimum thermal efficiency of 90% with 160° return, 180° supply at maximum input. Efficiencies of 99% are achievable with lower return water temperatures as found in new building designs. Triple-Flex fires at 3,000 MBH input, with sub 30 PPM NOx utilizing a hybrid metal fiber 5:1 turndown burner. Triple-Flex features UL environmental claims validation. Triple-Flex boilers are suited to deliver the industries highest operating efficiencies up to 99% in new buildings designed for condensing boiler conditions and better than 90% efficiency in retrofit applications not designed for condensing boilers.

EcoFlex 90+ - a packaged modulating fan-powered economizer – may be the single design that combats all the challenges in the typical economizer. It opens the energy recovery up to practically any combustion appliance application. With the EcoFlex 90+ system the designer can now view the application as a complete "boiler plant" as the full load to work with, instead of one economizer per boiler. And the "boiler plant" can consist of a combination of boiler types such as forced draft boilers and atmospheric water heaters that utilize a single modulating demand-controlled economizer. The bottom line is: design flexibility, reduced emissions, improved boiler efficiency, high return on investment.
