Fulton announces the most radical boiler design change in nearly 70 years
n the year that sees Fulton celebrate 50 years of UK manufacturing, the company is launching its latest heat transfer solution, claiming that the nextgeneration SRT Series is the most radical change to vertical steam boiler design for nearly 70 years.
I Sales and Marketing Manager Doug
Howarth said: “Not only are we celebrating 50 years of manufacturing in the UK, but we’re also launching a great new heat transfer solution that we believe to be the most radical change in steam boiler design since we pioneered the vertical tubeless boiler in 1949!” By adopting a systems engineering
approach to design and using its own ‘PURE’ technology, Fulton’s SRT Series challenges the heat transfer and mechanical design principles of traditional vertical steam boilers. With over 30 worldwide patents
pending, the new vertical boiler’s spiralrib tubeless design is a world first that has enabled Fulton to create a compact boiler with the industry’s smallest footprint. In fact, compared to the equivalent 30hp model from the company’s renowned J Series, the SRT Series is an impressive 40% smaller.
Using a combination of inhouse modelling with computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis, the ‘PURE Optimised’ design of the SRT Series makes the new boiler durable and reliable in operation; and with up to 6:1 turndown and featuring a fullymodulating burner, the SRT also boasts industryleading performance with an 84.5% Gross (93.5% Net) thermal efficiency and 99.5% steam quality from a fullywaterbacked design with no refractory. The SRT Series features patented, self compensating stress relief architecture that
virtually removes longitudinal stress and deflection absorption. And, to comply with anticipated EU regulations, the boiler’s combustion technology has also been completely reconfigured, with the mesh burner and furnace designed as a single component, resulting in ultralow NOx emissions of less than 40mg/kWh. This year sees Fulton celebrating 50 years of UK manufacturing, with the Bristolbased facility now an important design and manufacturing base in its global network, which includes production facilities in the USA and China. As Doug Howarth explains, Fulton
concentrated on steam boiler manufacturer for many years, but the company is now a major solutionsbased provider specialising in fullypackaged, readytoship steam, hot water and thermal fluid heat transfer systems. “We put great emphasis on providing sales and application advice and a full commissioning and after sales service, to a growing customer base in numerous sectors including food processing, brewing and distilling, etc,” adds Doug.

fter successfully leading the introduction of R32 in Japan, Panasonic is ready to drive the refrigerant change in Europe.
The company has already introduced R32 models
to the Nordic market in September 2015, with its outstanding A+++/A+++ HZSeries, and now, Panasonic is set to introduce new R32 models across the rest of Europe within the coming months. Panasonic will also be offering comprehensive
training and information on R32 to help distributors and installers get to grips with the new technology. Classified at a grade of A2, R32 gas is a mildy flammable gas. Dispelling the concern surrounding this flammability score, Marc Diaz, Country Manager at Panasonic Heating and Cooling UK & Ireland comments: “Not only is R32 a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to R410A, but it is equally as safe to use.” For more information visit:

WHAT’S NEW BSEE G
Grundfos Pump School doors are now open for business
rundfos are pleased to advise that their doors are now open
to a brand new Pump School training course year. This year, Grundfos will be offering more course options than ever with a total of 11 courses available. The range of courses means there will be something to suit everyone, whether they are starting out in their career or have been working in the industry for many years. Equally, the breadth of courses will cover topics suitable for those
who work in domestic and commercial building services, industrial applications, water and wastewater. Specialist areas such as fire pumps, dosing and disinfection will also be included as will the perennially popular topics of basic pump theory and packaged booster sets. All courses are oneday and often involve both classroom and
practical learning opportunities. They are available at three venues: Leighton Buzzard, Leigh (near Manchester) and at the Grundfos manufacturing plant in Sunderland. For more information on specific courses, dates and venues please visit
www.grundfos.co.uk To book onto a particular course, please use the online booking form. All other Pump School enquires should be sent to

sessions from trainers who all have substantial working experience within the HVAC industry. The training can be used towards professional development credits. Eclipse TRVs are suitable for twopipe radiator systems, under floor
heating systems or mixed systems using Aexact, Multilux 4A Set, Multibox AFC or Dynacon heating manifolds. The IMI Heimeier valve body in the Eclipse has a new marking II+ and indicates so new bodies can be easily changed; even those without automatic flow control can now be switched to the Eclipse insert. Because Eclipse is so compact and compatible with existing heating
systems, it is perfect for retrofit projects. A wide variety of mounting options are available including straight, angle, double angle, right and left body housings. This makes Eclipse perfect for systems with unknown piping or small systems with nonreduceable pump head >15kPa. uReader Enquiries to: Helen Curry Paul Isaacs Foundation IMI Hydronic Engineering Tel: 01268 655511 or 01582 866 377; email:

the introduction of a new onebox packaging solution. This means all the components for each custom made Merriott system will be boxed together, saving valuable time on site and ensuring no parts are lost in transit. Merriott is also using additional packaging on every order to substantially reduce the risk of product damage – both during transit and on site. Finally, the company is now using dedicated hauliers, so customers can rest assured that their orders will arrive directly to site from Merriott’s stateofthe art manufacturing facility in Newport, Wales, with no unnecessary handling in between. Andrew Slack, Customer
Service and Logistics Director at Merriott, said: “Here at Merriott, we are 100% committed to exceptional performance. This is not just true for all our products, but it’s also true for our logistics offering, which is why we’ve introduced these new improvements. Heating and
ommercial heating specialist Merriott has implemented a series of improvements to
cooling solutions form an integral part of a project’s supply chain, and there is often only a small timeframe for products to arrive ahead of installation, with limited storage facilities on site. This is where reliable and efficient delivery becomes crucial. “Our team understands that a
late, damaged or incomplete order can put a whole project on hold, so we’re working hard to ensure seamless, ontime deliveries every time – however complex the requirements. “It’s all part of providing a
bespoke service which puts customers first: from tailormade systems that meet the exact needs of each individual application, to the UK’s fastest delivery times and the highest level of technical support and aftercare.” Merriott, part of the QRL
Radiator Group, prides itself on offering cuttingedge commercial heating and cooling solutions which deliver longterm results for a wide range of projects, backed by wordclass manufacturing and trusted customer support.
