PRODUCTS FACILITIES MANAGEMENT AIR ROTATION HEATING HELPS REDUCE RUNNING COSTS
A Powrmatic TE61 500kW air rotation heater is delivering highly efficient heating at Senator International’s warehouse with additional loading bay heating from a VPC 90kW floor standing warm air heater. The system was designed by specialist HVAC installer CK Services 1990. With a strong focus on delivering
innovative workplace solutions, Senator International is committed to minimising its environmental impact and energy efficiency plays a key role in this. “We needed to give Senator a heating system that would maintain suitable environmental conditions for both staff and warehouse stock while minimising energy consumption and carbon emissions,” explains CK’s Andy Smith. “It was clear that a Powrmatic TE air rotation heater would meet these criteria more effectively than a distributed warm air or radiant system. Using a single, freestanding air rotation
heater helped to reduce installation and ongoing lifecycle costs. “As a higher temperature was
required for the loading area we installed a VPC 90 warm air heater, enabling the TE heater to maintain low return temperatures and maximise performance. The heaters are controlled via the BMS but the TE unit has a separate modulation function operated by a sensor in the return air section of the heater.” Powrmatic TE heaters use high efficiency axial fans which move large volumes of air through the space at relatively low temperatures, typically recycling the air every 30 minutes. Their ability to maintain set point temperatures is not affected by the layout of the space, making them ideal for warehousing applications.

THERMOGRAPHY HELPS LOWER ENERGY BILLS
Fluke has announced its seminar programme to be held throughout the UK and Ireland including one designed to help facilities reduce their energy costs. Aimed at plant maintenance engineers, OEM field
service and energy consultants, facility managers, electrical and facility contractors and energy inspectors, topics include: ● strategies to lower energy bills; ● tools to identify/quantify waste;
● how to measure and log power consumption; ● how to identify and measure common production process system wastages; ● how to detect energy waste with vibration detection and analysis; ● how to calculate the cost of compressed air; ● how to measure voltage unbalance to calculate waste; ● how to quantify electrical cost of ventilation; and ● how to reduce HVAC costs. Further seminars cover power
quality improvement, improved maintenance practices using thermography, troubleshooting motors and drives to minimise plant downtime and calibrating and troubleshooting process instrumentation. Its web page provides access to webinars and webcasts that provide online training to obtain the maximum benefit in the application of thermal imagers, power quality meters and portable oscilloscopes. Fluke will be at The Energy Event on stand A51.
