EVEREST SCIENCES
Everest Sciences produces the most efficient turbine inlet cooling system available today. The patented Everest Cycle generates cool inlet air with low moisture content and lower parasitic loads, resulting in greater turbine net power output while improving net heat rates. The Everest Cycle delivers cooler air than evaporative techniques or can provide equivalent performance to mechanical chilling at a fraction of the power draw. Harnessing the efficiency of indirect evaporative cooling, Everest Sciences technology offers the best CO2 emission solution and is compatible with poor water quality. With innovation focused on integration and modular construction, the Everest solution is retrofit-ready.

GENERATOR SYSTEM SUPPORT INC.
The Service/Access Platform for diesel gensets are a must need when the height of fuel tanks place genset controls and service doors out of reach. Its design keeps concrete pads small and economical, as the platform connects to engine base rails. Because of the cantilever structure, no components touch the concrete. Also, uneven ground does not affect the installation. The maintenance-free platform built from 0.125-inch aluminum tread plate gets the tech easily to the point of need, either for routine service or for emergency troubleshooting, fits all makes of gensets and tanks, and is OSHA-compliant.

GTI-ALTRONIC
Altronic Inc. has announced the newest addition to the series, the EPC-50, an air/fuel ratio controller designed for use on low-horsepower, carbureted natural gas‐fueled engines. It employs microprocessor technology, allowing for a high level of sophistication in control strategy, ease of configuration, and diagnostic capability. The EPC-50 and associated small engine-specific control valves are designed for use on engines operating at or near a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio and is ideally suited for application with 3-way catalytic converters. While it is designed to be mounted in the engine/compressor control panel, a NEMA 3R housing (720004-1) is also available as an alternative mounting option.

IDATECH
IdaTech offers extended run backup power fuel cell systems, available in 5-kW or 3-kW configurations. The ElectraGen XTi system includes a fuel reformer that converts methanol and water liquid fuel into hydrogen gas that powers the fuel cell system. By generating its own hydrogen, the need for delivery and storage of bottled hydrogen is eliminated. This system is designed for high reliability, long autonomy, and has significantly lower lifecycle costs than high-maintenance diesel and propane generators. The ElectraGen XTI System is the ideal solution for telecommunications towers, remote sites, and other installations that require dependable backup power.

KIM HOTSTART
Hotstart offers a line of energy-efficient engine heaters that can reduce electrical consumption 25% to 36%. The heating systems feature an integrated pump, which circulates the coolant throughout the engine’s complex water jackets and exterior plumbing restrictions. With forced circulation, the heater control thermostat is exposed to temperatures closely coupled to engine temperatures. This results in lower electricity use, reduced outlet temperature, and more uniform engine heating. With lower outlet temperatures, heater hoses, heating elements, and engine seals last longer for overall improvement in heater reliability. The CTM model heats engines up to 2.0L in 1-kW, 1.5-kW, and 2.5-kW rated models. The CSM system heats 15L-100L engines and is available in 3-kW, 6-kW, 9-kW, and 12-kW rated models.

RITTAL CORP.
Rittal UL Type 12 network enclosures take IT beyond the data center. Ongoing technological advances in manufacturing operations and other modern industrial applications are increasingly integrating IT-dependent processes, making the use of IT equipment outside of the data center more and more prevalent. This requires enclosure solutions that can meet the demands of both IT performance and industrial-grade protection. The factory floor is a much different place than the data center, where great pains are taken to control everything from heat and humidity to dust, dirt, and other contaminants. Out on the floor, demanding, sometimes unpredictable, ambient conditions are the rule and not the exception.
