BSEE WHAT’S NEW H
erz Valves UK proved yet again that it is at the “Beating Heart” of the Nation’s education facilities as they
were selected as core supplier for valves used in the plant room of the historic St John Bosco College in London SW11. The Catholic College for 11‐18 year‐old pupils is in the London Borough of Wandsworth and first opened in September 2011.
The site for the new building was
previously occupied by the old Salesian College buildings and the vacant Salesian House.
To feature in What’s New, call Claire Rixon on 01622 699198 Herz Valves at the heart of learning
The Salesian College and John Paul II School merged into one school on the Victoria Drive site in Southfields in September 2011. Founded on the educational philosophy of St John Bosco, the school places great store on the importance of relationships, developing excellence and focusing on the achievement of all pupils, irrespective of their individual challenges. The project, in Parkham Street, Battersea,
was started late 2014 and handed over in October 2015. Herz Valves UK supplied a considerable number of Thermostatic Radiator valves as
Mikrofill at The Masons Arms
well as all core isolating and control valves for the plant room. All were supplied and installed on time to heat the “heart” of this new learning facility. For further information, please contact

estling in the heart of Branscombe is the award winning 14th Century inn, The Masons Arms – a charming
thatched inn that offers an ideal base to escape the stresses of modern life and enjoy the magical vista of sea, beaches and the spectacular walks offered by Devon and Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. In early 2015, as part of their continual
improvement programme, the pub was refurbished. Part of these works included replacing the existing underperforming HWS cylinders with two 500‐litre Extreme HWS ‘Loading cylinders’. With a primary input of 100 kW at 80C each cylinder is capable of producing in excess of 2200l/hr at 60C.
Installed by long standing building
services engineers ‘Moordown Contractors’ the Extremes serve 21 rooms and a busy kitchen area seven days a week. Each cylinder was supplied with an optional unvented kit to ensure a suitable pressure was achieved throughout the building’s secondary circuit.
The principal of the loading system
ensures 100% of the cylinder capacity achieves 60C as well as optimising condensing boiler efficiency. For more information on these and other Mikrofill products call 03452 606020 or visit:

comprises a new 5‐litre drum, which treats a system volume of 1,667 litres, a 10‐litre drum, which treats 3,333 litres, and a 20‐litre drum, which treats 6,666 litres. By comparison, the previous formulations were available in drum sizes of 10 and 20 litres and treated system volumes of 1,000 and 2,000 litres respectively. “By cleaning or protecting
systems up to three times bigger, the new Triple Power chemicals give installers and service engineers the option to use a smaller sized drum for the same job,” explained Chris Shelton, Sales Director for Sentinel Commercial.”
Using smaller or fewer drums
for bigger jobs offers a number of practical, cost‐saving and environmental advantages, including easier storage, transportation, handling and dosing, in addition to less waste. “At Sentinel Commercial, we’re
always looking at ways to advance and improve our products and
elivering lifetime protection from corrosion and limescale in
services, even when they are already the very best in the market. Instead, we’re committed to making the best better, and making the water treatment process more efficient, effective and simple,” Chris concluded. The Triple Power chemicals are a crucial part of Sentinel’s simple yet comprehensive best practice system of ‘clean, protect, maintain’. This approach, when followed and used in conjunction with Sentinel Commercial’s high quality, proven, boiler manufacturer endorsed water treatment chemicals, is designed to deliver lifetime protection from corrosion and limescale, and avoid costly and disruptive issues such as premature parts replacements, reduced system energy efficiency and effectiveness, and breakdowns. In this best practice system, cleaning removes contaminants, protection prevents corrosion and limescale in clean systems, and maintenance ensures on‐going protection. Practically speaking, an
installer would use a Triple Power Sentinel Commercial X300 Cleaner to remove installation debris, flux residue and greases from a new system or Sentinel Commercial X400 Cleaner to remove black oxide magnetite and other corrosion debris in older systems, and Sentinel Commercial X100 Inhibitor to protect the system. Maintenance involves the regular use of Sentinel SystemCheck to analyse system water, and the implementation of corrective action, if required. Sentinel Commercial’s Triple
Power chemicals are now available from merchants. For more information visit:
