Detecting floods
Grohe Sense is an easily installed, wireless LAN-connected water security system for your entire house. It monitors areas where water damage could occur, checks temperature and humidity, and alerts you instantly if something goes wrong.
The system is able to detect flooding and frost risk and it senses humidity. The moment that water comes into contact with the device, it emits a beeping sound and a pulsating red light. Grohe Sense instantly sends you a notification via the Grohe Ondus app in case of a detected water leak so you can get there in time to stop the leak becoming a flood.

Keeping up with the flow
Kobold’ s turbine wheel flowmeter( model DOT) is suited to low viscosity applications and has proven turbine wheel technology that measures and monitors even the most difficult liquids such as distilled water, acids, bases, and alcohol.
A pick-off coil with a permanent magnet core is mounted in the housing adjacent to the rotor blade tips so that a magnetic circuit is set up via the rotor blades. Rotation of the rotor varies the resistance of this magnetic circuit and the flux changes induce a small voltage within the coil, the frequency of which is directly proportional to the rotor speed and proportional to the volumetric flow rate.
The standard meter is available with a pre-amplified square wave pulse output. Alternatively, the meter is supplied fitted with integral instruments.

Inverter-controlled indoor installation for heating and cooling
Stiebel Eltron is offering a new indoor air-water heat pump series for heating and cooling with power control: WPL 09 / 17 ICS / IKCS classic is ideal as an indoor pump wherever low acoustic emissions are important. Furthermore, WPL 09 / 17 is an inverter-controlled unit, which means that it adjusts to the heat demand of the building.
The indoor installation alone ensures greatly reduced noise generation outside. The new heat pump is very quiet in operation thanks to intelligent airflow and the sound-absorbing air tubes in the unit. Operation in densely constructed areas is therefore not a problem.
Intelligent details reduce the installation work; these include the simple connection of preassembled air tubes with quick connectors. Two variants are available for maximum flexibility: The classic variant provides for flexible upward airflow, while the compact variant features a ventilation module attachment that enables air connection sideways or to the rear and also further reduces acoustic emissions to the outside.
