Boiler-tube expanders
with precise torque control
A full line of air-powered tube expanders and rolling motors
for creating steel-to-steel mechanical seals in boilers,
heat exchangers and condensers is available for sale or
rent from this company. The Millhog tube expanders and
rolling motors (photo) are air-powered and feature precise
torque control from 25 to 325 ft-lb. Once the proper torque
level is established, this setting can be retained so that
each time the throttle is engaged, the tool will stall when it
reaches the desired tube expansion. The Mollhog is offered
in five kits to accommodate tubes from 1 in. I.D. to 4-1/4 in.
O.D., and 1 to 20 Ga wall thickness. Configurations include
straight and right-angle rolling motors for straight and
flared rolls. - ESCO Tool, a unit of ESCO Technologies,

Angle-seat globe valves
with flanged connections
Used mainly for the control and regulation of steam, water
and slightly corrosive fluids, the Type 507 (manual operation)
and Type 514 (pneumatically actuated) globe valves
(photo) are now available with flanged connections in nominal
sizes DN 15-50. The flanged valve bodies are made of
cast stainless steel 1.4435 (ANSI 316L). The flanges can
be installed and removed more easily compared to buttweld
and threaded connections, says the manufacturer. -

These float traps are both
compact and reliable
Steam traps of the UNA 1 range combine the technical
properties of a reliable compact-type float trap with minimum
dimensions. Used wherever condensate has to be discharged
continuously without backing up, these float traps
feature a rolling ball regulator that ensures steam-tight
shutoff, even with small condensate flowrates. The flow
direction is easily converted from horizontal to vertical,
and vise versa, which leads to simplified stock keeping and
more flexibility. The float traps are available in ductile iron,
cast or stainless steel. - Gestra AG, Bremen, Germany

Reduce NOx emissions from boilers,
regardless of fuel type
Suitable for use in package, industrial and utility boilers
ranging from single to multi-burner wall-fired, Turbo
and other boiler types, the ECOjet ultra-low NOx burners
(photo) offer ultra-low (below 30 ppm NOx) emissions with
little or no fluegas recirculation. Ignition is achieved using
a reliable, self-cleaning and low-maintenance CentronNote:

Spark Ignitor, a burstmode
ignition with flashing
indicator that allows
operators to observe the
ignitor condition during
operation. Staged gas design
provides extremely
stable flames, up to
20-to-1 burner turndown,
hot standby and precise
furnace warm-up. Ultra
low NOx emissions are
achieved on most gaseous
fuels (natural gas, propane, refinery gas, landfill gas
and off gases), and low NOx emissions are achieved on all
liquid fuels (No. 2 through No. 6 fuel oil and ultra-heavy
fuels, such as pitch and bitumen). - Hamworthy Peabody
