After having several people ask for it, I am happy to announce that Stromquist has added a Chiller Class to our training schedule this year. It will be on September 28 & 29 in our Atlanta training facility. This class will cover basic operations, maintenance and troubleshooting of centrifugal and reciprocating chillers. The instructor will also discuss water treatment, water reset strategies, leak testing, oil and vibration analysis, and more. We believe this will make a great addition to our existing line up of classes on Pneumatics, Variable Air Volume, and Boilers.
The cost of the class is $350 and covers all training material plus breakfast and lunch each day. You can register for this class or any others by clicking on the “Training” tab above. If you have any questions, e-mail edna@stromquist.com.
Stromquist and Company would like to take this time to say “Thank You”. Thank you to all of our military veterans and veterans throughout the country and the world. We would like to thank all those who have and those who are still serving our country this Memorial Day. I especially would like to dedicate the following article to Stromquist employees: Paul Eskin (U.S. Marines), Mark Gerety (U.S. Army 1980′s), Randy Hereford (U.S. Army Airborne Viet Nam Purple Heart), Matt Koenig (U.S. Army Combat Engineers 1990′S),Oscar Hansen (U.S. Coast Guard), Paul Morin (U.S. Army), and my nephew Nick who has served in Iraq and is still serving in Afghanistan on his last of five tours of duty as a combat Marine. Take the time to say thank you. We are grateful. I hope you enjoy the article.
As some of you know I am an avid photographer and motorcycle restorer. I have spent many hours behind the camera looking for the best shot in my view finder and I have spent an untold amount of time in my shop restoring antique motorcycles. About a month ago I was able to purchase a very rare 1973 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport motorcycle in need of restoration. You may now be wondering what this has to do with Stromquist and Company and why should you, the reader go any further in reading this article. Well come on and read on through this article and I will unravel this knot of words in my brain and tie it all together.
Everyone is looking for simple ways to save energy and money. Timers can be an easy and inexpensive way to cut back your energy consumption and put a little extra money back in the budget. These are just a couple of examples of Intermatic timers and what they can do for you.
Digital Auto-Off Timers
The EI400 Series effectively replaces 16 different spring-wound models, providing more specification flexibility, ease of installation and absolutely silent operation. A factory supplied CR2 lithium battery provides up to three years of time keeping without AC power, and user program selection is stored in non-volatile memory. A low battery indicator appears in the display when the battery requires replacement. Functions to control all voltages and frequencies (within the contact ratings) with no adjustments required. Provides true 3-way control allowing the load interval to be started and stopped using a standard mechanical switch.
Electronic Water Heater Timers
These time switches provide automatic control for electric water heaters. They provide to-the-minute accuracy in programming and time keeping. The time switches can be programmed for repeat daily scheduling, 5-day work week scheduling, weekend scheduling or any individual day Read More
