24 ACR Show Preview Single-fix ducting on show from Kingspan
DUCTING POSES many problems for all of those involved, especially if the product chosen does not meet specific criteria: For the specifying engineer it may be the weight of the system;
For the architect it may be designing in space to accommodate the ductwork; For the contractor it maybe ease and duration of installation; and For the building owner it may be installation and operational costs. The Kingspan KoolDuct System can offer solutions to all of these problems, which are all common issues associated with traditional galvanised sheet steel ductwork.
This system is made up of premium performance Kingspan KoolDuct Panels,
fabrication methods, coupling systems and a complete line of accessories. It is a pre-insulated ductwork system that is installed in a single-fix and weighs up to 75% less than ductwork fabricated from sheet steel and insulated with mineral fibre.
In addition, Kingspan KoolDuct Plenum panels can be utilised with either sheet metal systems or The Kingspan KoolDuct System.
These pre-insulated panels are lightweight and easy to install, which will allow for faster installation. Visit stand B11 to find out how The Kingspan Koolduct System can cut fabrication time, cut waste, cut complexity and cut costs.
Cool-Therm presents dynamic noise control (B5)
VISITORS TO the forthcoming ACR Show 2014 will have a chance to see – and hear – Cool-Therm’s latest innovation in chiller sound attenuation technology, Dynamic Noise Control (DNC).
DNC actively controls the sound produced by air conditioning chillers, guaranteeing it will not exceed a pre- set noise limit, irrespective of ambient conditions.
It is designed to overcome the increasingly strict requirements on noise produced by building services plant, imposed by local authorities, planners and end users, which can affect the siting and – in some cases – viability of chiller installations.
Ken Strong, managing director of Cool-Therm, says: “Sensitivity over noise produced by externally-sited air conditioning plant is now a hot issue
in many city centres and built-up areas. Dynamic Noise Control addresses the problem of noise produced by air conditioning chillers, and offers a cost- effective solution.”
DNC constantly monitors sound levels produced by a chiller. If a pre-set noise limit is reached, it actively controls and adapts chiller operation to reduce sound levels – while maintaining chiller output, to ensure cooling to the building is maintained.
The system consists of a microphone and sound processing system mounted on the chiller or at a suitable remote location from the chiller (say, in the direction of residential buildings), and is linked and integrated into the chiller controls. Chiller noise levels are continuously measured and recorded on the chiller display. Readings can also be routed to
(B11)
an external Building Management system through Modbus, for real-time monitoring.

products to meet your needs both today and in the future.
Climalife will showcase energy efficient and low GWP refrigerants and its range of glycols and heat transfer fluids, including Greenway, a glycol derived from renewable resources which has better properties and a lower carbon footprint than petroleum derived MPG. With the demise of R22 at the end of the year, Climalife can help with replacement options and the disposal of the waste R22 using its dedicated cylinder fleet of recovery cylinders and drums. Other refrigerants can also be reprocessed. The popular Climalife HQ POE oils which complement the refrigerants used will also be featured.
