Peirce-Phelps Inc. has announced that Foley Mechanical, Medford, N.J., is the winner of the 2012 Q4 sales competition for Eternal hybrid water heaters. The competition was sponsored by Philadelphia-based Peirce-Phelps and Grand Hall, manufacturer of the Eternal hybrid water heater line.
Grand Hall’s Eternal GU100 hybrid water heater’s patented hybrid technology provides continuous hot water like a tankless water heater, but has a two-gallon reserve tank inside so hot water is ready immediately when needed.
In the winter of 2011, Steve Lonsway, president and brewmaster of the Stone Cellar Brewpub & Stone Arch Brew House in Appleton, Wis., was faced with a challenge. One of the three standard tank water heaters in the restaurant at his brewery stopped working and the company needed hot water to service its customers.
A second-generation hybrid solar water heating system, the ecoMax° integrates waste heat recovery, along with solar thermal, to produce free hot water for domestic and light commercial use. The controller means HVAC technicians can now tap into a second free heat source: waste heat recovery from a/c and refrigeration units.
Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) submitted written comments regarding the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) modifications refining the Draft 3 version 2.0 specifications for the Energy Star® program for residential heaters.
Grand Hall Enterprises, parent company of Grand Hall USA, received the 2012 Taiwan Excellence award for its outstanding achievement in research and development, design, quality, and marketing for its Eternal hybrid water heaters.
The Eternal Hybrid™ GU100 water heater offers endless hot water and is Energy Star listed at 0.94 EF (energy factor). The water heater can support up to two simultaneous applications, such as running two showers or a shower and a dishwasher at the same time.
CALMAC, a leader in energy storage systems, announced the installation of its IceBank® thermal energy storage tanks at the recently retrofitted Romeoville High School located near Chicago. The installation of a partial energy storage system has resulted in a more efficient cooling system for the building.
