New smoke and fire dampers
Cost effective fire safety in Britain's buildings takes a significant step forward with the launch of the new Actionair CSS range of ES Rated Smoke and Fire Dampers. The new dampers have
been specially developed by the UK's market leaders to meet demand for effective control of fire and especially smoke in standard circular/spiral ductwork systems. This type of ductwork accounts for something like 50% of the
ducting installed in commercial and public sector buildings in the UK. There’s an urgent need for dampers meeting the stringent new ES fire rating that can be easily fitted in all types of location and particularly where ducts must pass through fire-rated stud walls. Actionair's new CSS range will meet this need – fast. A full range
for duct sizes from 100 mm to 355 mm is being offered on guaranteed express delivery to site. Actionair CSS Dampers are designed for use with both plain and insulated circular ductwork up to 50mm in air conditioning and ventilation systems requiring up to two hour fire protection.

Effective management
PPM Technology’s newest IAQ monitoring system the Wireless IAQ Profile PPMonitor enables simple, effective and flexible management of the indoor air environment. The PPMonitor
can
continuously detect, measure and record a number of parameters, including temperature, humidity, formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, ozone, ammonia and TVOC’s. Real-time functions enable immediate warnings of the presence of harmful gases in the air thus protecting employees and the public. The wireless units communicate via the sophisticated and
reliable Zigbee wireless mesh network; the network can be extended easily by adding repeater nodes or additional PPMonitor or Mini PPMonitor units; each unit can be configured with unique sensor specifications if required. This allows complete monitoring of the indoor air environment in any building layout. PPMonitor Units can be wirelessly connected to the Building Management System, allowing the entire wireless system to be managed from a single PC, the BMS can activate and control the air conditioning and ventilation systems, it can also turn on/off heating and as a last resort trigger building alarms.

Cirrus for ultimate illumination
The Cirrus direct/indirect suspended luminaire from Riegens Lighting Limited uses a specially developed optical system to provide direct/indirect illumination. The innovative optical system of Cirrus is based on anti-glare microprism panels to provide direct illumination, with a revolutionary aluminium reflector technology to ensure optimum distribution of the indirect light. The range of luminaires also
includes the Cirrus KC for controllable light levels which has been specifically developed based on research into Circadian Rhythms, the signals that our body clocks produce to indicate when to be active and when to sleep according to available light. Cirrus KC can be easily controlled to alter between 2700 kelvin and 6500 kelvin, to change the appearance of the lighting with the time of day. The streamlined body of Cirrus houses two T5 lamps in options
of 28W, 35W, 49W or 54W. Energy efficiency is achieved by the high output ratio of the optic, along with dimmable DALI/Switch&Dim control gear. Its sleek, clear lines and slim profile is further enhanced by a matt, anodised aluminium border. The Cirrus family also includes recessed, circular and circular pendant models to provide a complete lighting solution.

A new generation of AHUs
Aware of the economic and environmental challenges facing the owners and operators of commercial buildings, CIAT Ozonair Ltd has launched a new range of dual flow air handling units specially designed to meet today’s requirements for efficiency of operation and maintenance as well as ultimate recyclability. Called Floway, the new range comprises classic, vertical and ceiling-mounted units that use cutting edge technologies to provide powerful and efficient products. They meet all the environmental requirements of ISO 14001and the performance criteria of BREEAM. The three models in the range are available in 16 sizes each with independent intelligent control for plug and play operation. They are suitable for use in all commercial buildings where dual flow ventilation is required, such as offices, hotels, healthcare facilities and retirement homes. Floway features a high performance fan motor assembly that
reduces energy consumption, the speed-controlled HEE motor having an efficiency of over 90% and a sound level of less than 80 dB. F5, F7 and F8 filter cells achieve optimum IAQ levels with very low pressure drops, giving even greater efficiency and extended filter life.

Venture Launch ePOD
Venture Lighting Europe has launched ePOD, a control gear capsule designed for mounting above the luminaire, eliminating the need for a traditional high-bay housing. Utilising Venture’s popular Ventronic control gear, the e-POD is suspended vertically on top of the luminaire, to provide a streamlined effect. Designed specifically in response to demand, the ePOD is ideally suited for areas where there is limited or no fixing space for separate control gear units. The ePOD incorporates Venture’s
electronic ballast for high wattage HID light sources that allows optimum energy efficiency through daylight linking, timer, or occupancy sensor, as well as a number of additional advanced features that improve economy, performance and lamp life With Ventronic, users of HID lighting are able to achieve the
energy saving and performance benefits previously associated with fluorescent lighting. Ventronic is lightweight and completely silent, has no start-up current and is encapsulated within a thermally designed convective casing. ePOD can be used with Venture’s Pulse Start lamps; the product
is fully EMC compliant and complies with relevant sections of EN- 61347-1.

Smith’s adds special effect
Smith’s Environmental Products has bolstered its Hydroflame flame effect fan convector with a new and improved signature feature – the flame effect. A new, mirrored panel behind the flame provides more depth, creating a more realistic and attractive focal point. The flame window has also increased in size, further enhancing the products credentials as an eye-catching visual feature suitable for any room. Jim Bennett, Sales and Marketing Director at Smith’s Environmental Products, said: “The Hydroflame is one of our most popular flagship products. The new ambient flame effect further enhances the product’s aesthetic appeal, while it can also function independently to be heat emitting. The flame effect is actually created using an energy saving light bulb and specially developed ribbons moved by circulating air, giving the impression of a real fire – there are no live flames or hot coals.” As with all Smith’s fan convectors, the Hydroflame works by connecting to the central heating system, therefore offering a much safer alternative to gas fires which may produce or leak harmful CO gases.

New from Rehau
Rehau has launched a new range of pre- insulated flexible PE-Xa pipework for use in external plant rooms, biogas plants, swimming pools, district heating schemes and for connections to ground source heat pumps. Branded RAUVITHERM, it is designed for projects where pipe flexibility and durability are of paramount importance. It features a flexible corrugated outer sleeve and open cell insulation allowing tight bending radii to be achieved around corners or when pulling into house inlets. The outer sleeve is constructed from robust HDPE to cope with
tough on-site conditions and the outer layer of insulation is bonded to the sleeve ensuring that the pipe is both watertight and longitudinally stable. RAUVITHERM uses Rehau’s renowned Everloc compression
sleeve jointing system, which has been proven over a million times in underfloor heating and plumbing applications, to deliver a permanent leak free joint. Fitted easily using a compression tool, it can typically be fitted in half the time it takes to install a conventional joint. RAUVITHERM is available in single pipe versions up to 125mm
and twin pipe up to 63mm, and in coil lengths of between 100m and 300m.
