ESP-PLUS® Software Program is Now Available on CD-ROM

Morton Grove, IL- February 20, 1998- An updated and enhanced version of ESP-PLUS, Bell & Gossett’s award-winning software program for selection of fluid handling products, is now available on CD-ROM.

ESP-PLUS is designed to help HVAC professionals select fluid handling products quickly, accurately and simply. The innovative software program enables selection of complex parallel pumping systems in constant or variable speed configurations, and also determines energy savings. ESP-PLUS includes selections, submittals, schedules, and specifications for centrifugal pumps, hydronic specialties, heat exchangers, condensate transfer equipment and steam specialties. The simple, menu-driven operation software is easy to learn and use, and technical support is available online and through Bell & Gossett sales representatives.

As an added bonus, the CD-ROM also includes the award-winning System Syzer software and over 6,000 AutoCad R-13 drawings.

System Syzer enables instant fluid-type adjustments, pipe calculations, Reynolds numbers, flow states, and computations of relative roughness and friction factors, as well as friction loss and velocity values. The program also features viscosity correction that allows for water-temperature adjustments up to 350ˇF as well as those for varying concentrations and temperatures of ethylene, propylene glycol, and other fluids with known properties. A "balance" section can calculate adjustments based on fluid type and generate reports to aid engineers, contractors, and other professionals in the field.

ESP-PLUS and System Syzer have won several awards from key industry trade magazines for their innovation and usefulness.

Available for use with Windows¨ 3.1x, 95, or NT¨, ESP-PLUS can be installed on a user’s hard drive or can be run directly from the CD-ROM.
