Pump-Flo Update

Posted by

Cornell Pump employs Pump-Flo as a pump selection software tool that allows registered users to select and compare pumps for applications. The program is free, and only requires that the user register in order to access this valuable information.

On Wednesday, July 10, 2019, Cornell Pump updated the desktop version of Pump-Flo with new pump curves. If you use the desktop version, please download the update installer from the Cornell website.

If you use the web-based version of Pump Flo, the program is updated automatically for you. The desktop version can be used offline, in situations such as airplanes without Wi-Fi, but it requires a download onto the user’s computer, and periodic updates to the data when new information is added.

Thousands of Cornell Pump’s distributors and end-users work with Pump Flo frequently, to make the right selection for their application. Learn more at www.cornellpump.com/pump-flo/.

Cornell eCatalog Now Boasts Offline Functionality

Posted by

Cornell Pump’s eCatalog allows end users, distributors, engineers, and others to look up pump curves and dimension prints on pump models. This useful resource is accessed from our website hundreds of times a week.

Now, the eCatalog can be used without internet connectivity. The catalog can be downloaded to a laptop computer, and accessed in the air, in remote areas, or anywhere else an internet connection is not available.

To use the offline version, The catalog must be synchronized with a computer. The offline catalog is recommended for use with Google Chrome (for best compatibility).  Go to the eCatalog, and press the ‘sync offline’ button on the upper right hand side of the screen. The files will download onto the computer.

Synchronization

Depending on internet speed and the number of drawings and curves in the catalog, synchronization times will vary. Typically, synchronization times will range between 2 and 5 minutes. The website must be kept open during synchronization, and the eCatalog is fully functional during this time. A progress bar will display the current synchronization progress.

When synchronization is complete, an alert will be displayed to the user indicating that the synchronization was successful. After this message is displayed, the website will be ready for offline use, without an internet connection.

Make it an App

The eCatalog can be made into a desktop application after the synchronization process.

  • Open the Chrome menu by clicking the ellipsis (three vertical dots) in the upper right-hand corner.
  • Click “Install Cornell Pump eCatalog…” from the dropdown menu.
  • Click “Install” in the resulting dialog.
  • This will install the eCatalog as an application, with a shortcut on the user’s desktop.
Note: click on images for larger view

The eCatalog does not have to be used offline; it will still function perfectly well online, on numerous platforms such as Apple IOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and others.

Cornell Pump Celebrates World Refrigeration Day

Posted by

Cornell Pump has been integral to refrigeration systems with our CB series of pumps since the 1950’s. More recently, our Arctic King series of hermetic refrigeration pumps have been industry favorites. As such,  we are proud to celebrate the first annual World Refrigeration Day.

The International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) — Europe’s independent intergovernmental science and technology based organization which promotes knowledge of refrigeration — spearheaded the development of this, the first World Refrigeration Day.

The day is designed to point out how refrigeration makes life better for every person, as well as the massive economic impact refrigeration makes. A PDF white paper is available to from IIR on how refrigeration makes the world a better place every day.

 

 

A Week of Food Trucks at Cornell

Posted by

Cornell Pump Company is starting a week of food trucks at the factory, as a thank you to all employees for working extra hard at the end of Q2!

Today’s food truck makes meals with a mission.  Mission Bar-B-Que not only serves tasty barbecue, but also helps men, women, and children from the devastating effects of homelessness, hunger, addiction, and abuse.  All proceeds from Mission Bar-B-Que support the work of Portland Rescue Mission.

Cornell employees enjoyed some hot and sweet brisket and pulled pork, all the while helping the homeless in Portland.  We look forward to pizza, sliders, and more deliciousness throughout the week.

If you’d like to join the Cornell Pump team, see our employment page. You might not be hired in time for BBQ this week, but you’re sure to enjoy food trucks in the future!
