Honeywell interview: Integrating Energy Management with Access Controls http://bit.ly/Zlbcy via @AddToAny
In part one of his two part interview, Eric talks to the dynamic Roger Rebennack. Roger is a leader in Honeywell’s national WEBS AX security group. With over thirty years in the business, Roger is well qualified to speak about the rapid changes in access and security, including how to integrate these through open system platforms into building automation control systems.
Over the years, combustion efficiency testing has been complicated due to several factors, including the maintenance of the testing equipment offered. As I stated on an earlier blog entry, to become “green” your systems must start by being as efficient as possible.
Testo, the worldwide leader in design, development, and manufacturing of portable instrumentation, is pleased to offer the 330-2LL Combustion Analyzer, available through Stromquist.
The 330-2LL combines advanced sensor technology with rugged electronics and state of the art user operation for combustion analysis. The unique “long lasting” sensors allow for maximum uptime, more profitability and best accuracy in the industry. This tool is packed full of extra features that allow the user to replace older instruments in which fluid and sensor contamination leads to expensive replacement and calibration costs along with costly instrument downtime. This downtime can also cost a considerable amount of money in fuel losses due to bad combustion.
If you are a Stromquist customer or are in GA or FL, call your Stromquist rep for help with your combustion and flow needs. All others, please refer to one of our affiliates at the Controls Group North America site to find a distributor in your area.

When you don’t have part numbers, it is important that we get as much information as possible when helping you choose the correct parts. You may not always have all of the information, but the more you can give us, the better. The back of the form even has diagrams to help determine if you need a two- or three-way, mixing or diverting valve. If you have any questions, need any help filling out the form, or would like to get a supply of these forms, call Stromquist at 1-800-241-9471.
A couple of weeks ago I attended a CSD-1 meeting in Florida put on by the State Fire Marshall’s Office with presenters from the National Board. CSD-1 is the national standard for controls and safety devices for automatically fired boilers. This standard has been adopted by most states (if not all) and deals with the assembly, installation, maintenance, and operation of controls and safety devices on automatically operated boilers directly fired with gas, gas-oil, or electricity, having input ratings of under 12,500,000 Btu/hr.
While this is not one of the more enjoyable meetings I have attended, it was very informative. If you are working in the boiler trade within your state I would strongly suggest that you attend these meetings when the opportunity presents itself.
Understanding the who, what, when, where, and why of the regulations of boilers within your state will allow you sales opportunities you may not be aware of. Also it is good to know the regulations regarding who can work on these potentially dangerous systems. In most states the adoption of boiler safety laws are voted on by politicians, most of whom may not know the potential dangers of a boiler. It is up to you to guide these folks in the proper direction when it comes to your livelihood.
