BSEE INSTALLATION NEWS


A groundbreaking project, undertaken by Dantherm five years ago, has produced excellent results thanks to the installation of a new air‐handling unit at a popular fitness centre.


In 2012, David Lloyd Leisure in Bristol sought Dantherm’s help when an old ventilation system in its swimming pool hall began to run inefficiently.


With energy consumption through the roof, savings had to be made and Dantherm’s DanX XKS system offered the perfect replacement.


With its highly efficient cross flow heat exchanger, the DanX XKS perfectly controls the humidity and indoor temperature whilst offering energy recovery of up to 80%. Since the installation, Dantherm has monitored the difference between the old unit and their own system and the reduced energy consumption is clear to see with a huge drop of over 60% in the average gas consumption. David Lloyd has enjoyed improved pool conditions for customers as well as protection from dampness to its building structure.


What made this project unique was that it was implemented without the need for expenditure from David Lloyd Leisure, with funding provided by Decarbon

– an independent specialist investment manager that specialise in energy and resource efficiency initiatives. Dantherm delivered this project ahead of schedule, with a particular focus on keeping the facility safely open to the public while the work was undertaken. Dantherm’s Pool Ventilation Sales Manager, Jamie Herdman, said: “We continue to measure the actual energy consumed by the DanX XKS at David Lloyd and it clearly demonstrates that the equipment is performing just as efficiently as when it was installed five years ago. “It was clear that something needed to be done for this particular swimming pool hall, and I think our customer is currently enjoying so many benefits that they haven’t looked back since its installation.” For more information on Dantherm’s swimming pool ventilation solutions call 01275 876851, email jh@dantherm.com or visit:


www.dantherm.com/uk/ Dunham‐Bush creates comfortable environment at school’s new science centre


uDunham‐Bush BM Fan Convectors are helping to provide the right environment for students at Stowe School’s new Science Centre.


Stowe School is a co-educational independent boarding school in Stowe, Buckinghamshire. Steve Burgess, Regional Director of Stepnell Construction, said: ”The new £6m building has created a facility that provides 18 generously-sized laboratories, six each for chemistry, biology, physics; a sixth form study centre and six lecture theatres, one of which can accommodate up to sixty students.” The two storey contemporary building has been built on the footprint of the original building and sensitively blends new with old. The awe-inspiring fully glazed atrium, blended with Bath stone, offers an impressive welcome.


Mrs Devanthi Weerakoon, Senior Engineer at Hoare Lea LLP, was challenged with providing a heating system, which would not only work to the maximum efficiency within the sound power levels demanded by the requirements of the laboratories and lecture theatre, but also provide heating to the various areas precisely when required.


To achieve this, a ceiling void mounted heating system was designed, capable of responding quickly and efficiently to the demands of the individual areas. The quick response time of the Dunham-Bush BM Fan Convectors provided clients with the most suitable solution. The BM units were installed within the ceiling voids of the building, with the discharge grilles the only visible evidence of the heating emitter system. Rob Basey, Project Manager for Scion Technical Services, which undertook the installation of the heating and air conditioning equipment, said: “It was an interesting project to work on; it integrated the most modern technologies to achieve the best solution for the building’s usage and provided the client with a modern and comfortable environment for studying.”

Rinnai, manufacturer of the Energysaver energy efficient range of gas fired wall heaters, recently pulled out all the stops in collaboration with Ayr‐based installer O’Neil Gas Services to keep the congregation warm at St Mary’s Church in Saltcoats, Ayrshire.

O’Neil has used Rinnai heaters in many churches – including St Mary’s, in Salcoats – because of their efficiency and ease of installation, according to Installation Manager, Ross McWhirter.


McWhirter first made the decision to go with Rinnai’s 1004T gas fired wall space heater for St Mary’s and he is delighted with the choice. “We used six Rinnai 1004T units, siting them in the best location for effectiveness and for the convenience of the customer. The biggest part of the job was lifting the floors and running gas and electricity supplies to the units. “Since we completed the installation, everyone I have spoken to at the church has said that it has never been as warm as it is now. The church should also see a big difference in gas usage as the Rinnai units are more economical to run than the previous system,” says McWhirter.


“This was the first time we have used the Rinnai 1004T gas fired wall space heaters and I was very impressed with the


outcome of the job. They are very quiet while running and get the Church up to temperature very quickly.” O’Neil’s installs Rinnai heaters for its commercial customers in a range of applications.


“We choose Rinnai heaters because they are reliable, and easy to work on, as well as being efficient. O’Neil’s use only the best as call backs can be expensive and so installing the Rinnai heating range within commercial installations is an obvious choice, and makes for happy customers,” continues McWhirter. O’Neil’s has the stamp of approval from Gas Safe to provide all gas services and has recently been awarded the prestigious ISO 9001, a certified management system for organisations, proving its ability to provide services that meets customers’ needs. In addition, O’Neil’s has CHAS accreditation for its Health and Safety policies and PAS 2030.


www.rinnaiuk.com Seventh heaven for church thanks to Smith’s Caspian UV fan convectors!


Contractor, Colin Wakefield, of Wakefield and Wilson, chose Smith’s Caspians for St Nicholas’ Church when a modern, flexible heating solution was needed.


He specified four units for the large hall, two for the small hall and one for the reception area.


The new system enabled each room to be heated separately. The temperature of each Caspian can be adjusted to suit the varying heat output requirements so that during the colder months, the temperature can be increased on each unit to ensure that the whole space is heated effectively. This provides the church with a more efficient, cost-effective solution.


uCaspian UV fan heaters provided a convenient, neat and cost‐effective solution for St Nicholas’ Church in Blundellsands.


As well as the main church building, two halls and a council chamber are also hired out for clubs and events. The original heating comprised one boiler, which meant that in order for one room to be heated, the rest of the building had to be heated too.


The temperature of the rooms could not be individually 8 BUILDING SERVICES & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER APRIL 2017


controlled, so it worked on a ‘one temperature fits all’ basis – a problem that regularly occurs in commercial buildings. Colin Wakefield said: “Having worked with Smith’s previously, I knew that the Caspian UV fan convectors would be the perfect solution for this church. The Caspians’ heat outputs, efficiency and low noise make them the ideal product for a church environment.”


Unlike conventional panel radiators, the fan convector provides more even temperature spread and faster warmth. The small fan means that the heat produced is distributed using forced, rather than natural, convection and consequently this makes it far more responsive to thermostatic controls.


As with all Smith’s products, the Caspians come with a free five-year warranty for parts and labour. For more information call 01245 324900 or visit:
