Product News 41 ec aura gains Quiet Mark for the fourth year running
THE ec aura, a portable cooling solution developed by ebm-papst, has gained the Quiet Mark award for the fourth consecutive year in recognition of its low noise levels.
The Quiet Mark symbol is awarded following rigorous testing and approval from accredited acoustic experts, including the Association of Noise Consultants. The ec aura is one of only four fans that have received the accolade in the portable fan product category. The ec aura is also energy efficient, consuming 87% less energy compared to fans using the older AC technology. With a compact design, full speed control and a 180° adjustable tilt, the ec aura fans are fully portable to ensure targeted room cooling. Gloria Elliott, chief executive of the Noise Abatement Society, said: “Congratulations to ebm-papst for another year earning Quiet Mark recognition. The ec aura falls perfectly in line with the Quiet Mark ethos, not only reducing sound output, but being energy efficient and cost effective as well”. ebm-papst
Kamco introduces descaling pump
KAMCO has launched the Scalebreaker C210 tank mounted descaling pump for the chemical cleaning of calorifiers, boilers, plate heat exchangers and cooling circuits. Designed to increase safety, it keeps descaling chemicals enclosed at all times within the tank, hoses or equipment being descaled, minimising fumes, splashes and risks to users. It has a 125 litre tank with an integral, vertically mounted, acid-resistant pump and comes with flow and return hoses and a flow reversal device for faster descaling. Flow rate of the C210 is up to 170 litres/min. This high rate, along with a 24m head, gives faster and more effective descaling. Regular use of the
flow reverser ensures vigorous and turbulent movement of descaling solutions to sweep away reaction by-products and enable fresh solution to reach heat transfer surfaces. Kamco

Bitzer launches new unit BITZER has
introduced the new LHV7E – a cutting- edge condensing unit. The low noise, energy- efficient unit meets the requirements of the 2016 EU Ecodesign Directive
www.ebmpapst.co.uk
and has proved reliable in field tests. The optimised control allows the user to adjust the speed of the fans and the Ecoline Varispeed compressor for more energy-efficient operation. The optimised mini-channel condenser also improves eco-efficiency compared to older Ecostar models. The LHV7E requires a lower refrigerant charge while offering higher heat exchange. Extremely quiet, the unit’s low noise EC fans feature sound- optimised airflow.
The Ecostar LHV7E is easier to use than its predecessors: the condensing unit can be controlled and serviced remotely via an Ethernet connection for networks or the Internet, Modbus RTU and Bluetooth access using Bitzer’s BEST software.
Up to four Ecostar condensing units can be linked together via the Modbus. The unit is available in six variants. BITZER
A-Gas unveils free F-Gas management tool
A-GAS has launched Gas-Trak Online (GTO), an F-Gas reporting and cylinder-tracking tool, designed to make reporting refrigerant usage simple. Free to download on smartphones and tablets, GTO is a secure tool, allowing engineers to cut down on paper use by producing electronic F-Gas log books and reports at the touch of a button. An Internet connection is not needed as the user can store the information on their device and synchronise it at their convenience. GTO will keep a summary of the user’s jobs and produce reports in line with the latest F-Gas requirements. The user simply enters their reporting parameters, prints reports or exports their data.
For people requiring a more in-depth data analysis package, for a small subscription GTO offers the option of enhanced or customised reporting. To download the app visit the Apple Store or Google Play. Visit

Manor Concepts opens new product testing facility
AS part of its ongoing research and development programme, Manor Concepts has opened a new test centre for its comprehensive range of retail cabinets and refrigerated door products. The test facility, which is kept at an ambient temperature, is situated inside the firm’s headquarters and manufacturing base in Sandy, Bedfordshire. It is close to Manor’s controlled environment research and development laboratory which was completed 12 months ago.
Inside the new centre, testing rigs are used to simulate product in operation. These are used to speed up the lifecycle process of moving parts from both the Manor Refrigerated Cabinet and coolsuredoors ranges. Operators monitor the products undergoing testing for constant precision of movement, strength and overall performance. A specialist team runs the centre and is committed to the systematic examination of existing product lines as well as the investigation of new technologies. Manor Concepts
