Tyco escapes to the country
A complete underfloor heating system from Tyco Thermal Controls is providing the ultimate in luxury heating for guests at the prestigious London Syon Park, a Waldorf Astoria hotel.
London Syon Park sits at the edge of the two hundred acre Syon House estate, a unique setting that has served as the country home of the Duke of
Northumberland for over 400 years. Its 137 rooms and seven luxury suites boast the ultimate in luxury for guests, which combine with the finest traditions of a country house estate to make this a truly unforgettable experience.
With such a prestigious project, there could be no room for error which is why the Raychem intelligent underfloor heating system was specified for the guest bedrooms throughout the hotel. The T2Red, self-regulating system offers increased comfort while saving on heating costs, is easy to install and is suitable for all floor types. It works by sensing other heat sources in the room, such as solar radiation, automatically adjusting its heat output accordingly. A number of different systems were
installed throughout the hotel to achieve maximum comfort and efficiency. T2Red with T2Reflecta was installed in the bedrooms and combines the self- regulating heating cable with a pre-grooved aluminium covered insulation profile to reduce heat losses and provide increased energy efficiency and an even heat distribution throughout the room. In the luxurious bathrooms, T2Quicknet 160, a thin self-adhesive heating mat was used as it provides fast heat up time, and at only 3mm thick is ideal for installation under tiled floors.
Guests who visit the sumptuous Kallima Spa at the hotel are also in for a treat following the installation of Raychem T2 Isolecta insulation board, combined with T2Quicknet 160 to offer an energy efficient, smart solution.
Jonathan Jones of Tyco Thermal Controls says: “The London Syon Park hotel is a very prestigious development and understandably the developers were looking for a smart heating solution which would provide the high levels of comfort which the guests would expect. “The installation of our range of
underfloor solutions together with our smart thermostats means that the hotel now has a reliable, energy efficient solution which will allow the guests to immerse themselves in the luxury which this country retreat offers.”
Guests at the London Syon Park will also have access to most of the 200 acre estate which looks out across the river Thames to nearby Kew Gardens. Email:

New Armstrong packaged intelligent pump solutions improve energy efficiency
Armstrong has launched a series of pre- designed packaged pump solutions that offer specifiers lowest first installed cost, reduced footprint and the opportunity for outstanding energy efficiency performance. Pumps, pipework, controls and motive power are fully-integrated and the packages are manufactured off-site, for fast, efficient installation.
The new 8000 Series are complete fluid management systems, pre-designed and pre-assembled by Armstrong, that can be configured to suit the widest range of applications, with a choice of four levels of control. Costs involved in designing the system are removed, and as the pump solutions are designed by Armstrong (a world-leading manufacturer of HVAC equipment with almost 80 years experience in pump design) they offer the best possible integration of pumps with controls technology for exceptional performance.
In addition, as the pump package is fully assembled and tested before it leaves Armstrong’s factory, many potential project risks are eliminated. Poor system integration during installation is avoided, and the pump solution can be manufactured concurrently with other parts of the construction or refurbishment project to reduce the schedule

significantly, at the same time as avoiding delays or bottle-necks that might occur on-site. These factors combine to offer specifiers a high- performance product solution, at the lowest first installed cost, with reduced risk and shorter installation times. The four options
encompass the widest range of requirements – from pump-only to fully controlled pumping systems. 8001 Series FMS (Fluid Management System) – the most basic option – is a traditional-style fixed speed packaged pump set without controls or variable speed drives.
8002 Series IVS (Intelligent Variable Speed) is a variable speed packaged pump set. It incorporates Armstrong’s extremely popular IVS pumps with motor mounted inverters that are capable of being controlled to meet demand.
8003 Series IVS (Intelligent Variable Speed Sensorless) also incorporates Armstrong IVS variable speed pumps with motor mounted inverters. It utilises sensorless control, reducing the requirement for sensors in the systems,
and automatically matches the pump speed to the building load without BMS control. This option is particularly suited to duty/standby applications (up to 90kW) and includes a set mounted control panel that shares the load of the duty pump and relays alarms to the BMS. It is suitable for single zone control.
8004 Series IPS (Integrated Pumping System) is capable of controlling up to 18 zones and includes Armstrong’s set mounted IPS (Integrated Pumping System) which is fully wired and pre-commissioned to the pumps within the set. The system is capable of operating outside of BMS control and can communicate to the BMS via Modbus as standard. Lonworks, BACnet and other protocols are also available on request. The 8000 range is based on the pump manufacturer determining how the pumps are controlled. This is accepted best practice for energy efficiency, equipment life, and simplicity of installation and commissioning, further reducing risk and carbon emissions.
