A Trussed Purlins
Varco Pruden offers the WideBay trussed purlin, an alternative to bar joists for builders. The
purlins are effective for bay spans up to 60
ft, are available in 30, 34, and 40 n. depths,
and require no field welding. The bolted connections allow for reduced construction time.
Suitable applications include projects requiring
open interior space for equipment placement,
racking and storage or where column-free
space is needed for sporting events or concerts. HPB.hotims.com/49822-156
B HVLS Fan
MacroAir announces its AirVolution-D high
volume, low speed (HVLS) fan. The fan is
driven by a compact electric motor capable of
handling the consistent torque requirements
of a 24-ft diameter industrial fan. This motor
eliminates the need for a gearbox, which
reduces total weight and eliminates moving
parts. Fans are available in sizes from 6 to
24 ft, can be installed in as low as 12-ft ceiling heights and offers custom color options
to accommodate the aesthetic of any space.

Schneider Electric announces the PowerLogic
PM500 series power meter. Data logging
capacities vary across the range, and a DINmountable variant is also available. Other
features include different communication and
I/O options, a battery-backed real-time clock,
alarms, multiple tariff schedules and data
and event logging. The product is suitable for
energy cost allocation and submetering applications. HPB.hotims.com/49822-170
D Hand Dryer
Mitsubishi Electric offers the Jet Towel Mini
electric hand dryer, a smaller sized model with
the same efficiency and benefits as larger
variations. The unit operates at 890 W with
heater and 600 W without heater and features wave-shaped nozzles to direct airflow,
resulting in quiet operation. Separate air and
water ducts prevent cross contamination from
the waste water tank, which holds up to 600
uses worth of runoff water from users' hands.
