Jaga helps Bridport United Church Bridport United Church in Dorset has recently undergone a major renovation which included the installation of a new heating solution. Consultant Worldwise Ltd identified Jaga as the manufacturer that could provide the best radiator specification and supply service. The Jaga Maxi LST Continuous DBE was chosen as the primary heat source for the main area. The radiators are fitted with Jaga’s LST casing in order to fulfil the church’s safety requirements, keeping surface temperatures below 43°C and making them safe to touch. To provide as much heat as possible, the Maxi LST Continuous was specified to provide a minimum output of 65kW. For an extra heat boost when required Jaga’s Dynamic Boost Effect (DBE) fan units were included. As well as the main hall, Jaga provided solutions for the upper gallery. At the back of the church, beneath a large stained single-glazed window, the Mini Canal DBE trench heater was installed into the floor. Mini Freestanding radiators were also positioned underneath pews around the edges of the gallery. In the function room, the Guardian LST radiator was chosen to manage the heat loads. The main entrance area was specified with Jaga Tempo LST and Maxi LST radiators. Jaga

Ideal Commercial expands range Ideal Commercial Boilers has extended its recently launched IMAX EL range with additional models ranging from 715kW to 1240kW. Pairing two Imax Xtra EL condensing and floor standing boilers side by side, the new extended range offers greater output flexibility in a compact and lightweight package for ease of installation, even within the trickiest of applications.
Further expanding the flexibility while still retaining a compact size, the range extension outperforms the 2015 ErP requirements as well as offering very low NOx Class 6 peformance for maximum points on the BREEAM scale. With twice the flexibility and convenience, the Imax Xtra EL extended range provides the solution to even the most challenging of commercial installations. The range is supported with a two-year parts and labour warranty. The Imax Xtra EL range is available in 10 models with outputs from 320 to 1240kW. It is designed for central heating of commercial premises and, specifically, for commercial applications looking for larger outputs in a smaller scale package. Featuring comprehensive control, up to 109.8% part load efficiency and a robust aluminium silicon alloy heat exchanger, the boilers are reliable and easy to install, commission and service.

Myson app controls thermostat Myson’s Touch2 Wi-Fi thermostat allows end users to control their heating system remotely via a smartphone or tablet, using a free app that can be downloaded from the firm’s website.
The app system is simple to use, with up to four time and temperature period settings per day. It allows the user to control the heating system while on the move, displaying the live temperature, and enables them to check the property’s temperature history. It is is lockable, using PIN code protection, allowing the bill payer to have control on domestic fuel usage. When activated, the Geo Location feature can automatically turn the heating off when occupants leave, or turn the heating on when individuals reach a ‘target distance’ on their way home. So whether there is a cold snap during the day, or occupants are returning from holiday there is no need to return to a cold house. The thermostat uses its own inbuilt hub to communicate the app user’s instructions. It uses mesh communication for multi-zone control, which means that the system will still be responsive in larger properties with a weaker broadband signal; and it can be used with up to 32 Wi-Fi thermostats throughout the property, one of which can be used to control hot water.

Comfortable jumping Powrmatic NVx warm air heaters are helping to ensure comfortable conditions for trampolinists and spectators at the Base Jump trampoline park in Rayleigh, Essex. The units were specified and installed by Heventech Mechanical Services.
Base Jump’s Jason Hall said: “The metal construction of the facility means that heat losses are quite high so we need heating in the winter, but when we moved in the existing heaters were not working. We therefore contacted Heventech to propose a solution.” Heventech’s Lee Wilkinson added: “We identified that four Powrmatic NVx warm air heaters would provide sufficient capacity to replace the previous six heaters in the building. These have been mounted along one wall and, combined with the existing destratification fans, provide even temperature distribution throughout the space.”
The NVx warm air heaters at Base Jump are controlled by a Powrmatic MC200 on each unit to maintain a minimum temperature of 15°C, which is supplemented by body heat from the activities in the space – capable of raising the temperature by another 4-5°C. The controller also provides the option of free cooling in the summer using outside air. Powrmatic

Boilers help school to save energy Remeha Quinta Pro boilers have helped slash gas consumption at Sandbach School by £3,000 in four months, cutting its carbon footprint and increasing the heat output.
When more than half the existing boilers failed in the school’s two plant rooms, the main concern was to increase the reliability and output of the heating to meet current and future demand. Due to the nature of the building, the refurbishment of both plant rooms had to be completed within the six week summer holidays. Jonathan Scott, director at TBR 24-7 Ltd, recommended installing four Remeha Quinta Pro 115kW condensing boilers in cascade operation in the plant room serving the main building housing the boys’ school and a further two Remeha Quinta Pro 115kW boilers, again in cascade, in the second plant room serving the Maths, English and Science Block. TBR carried out a complete rewiring of both plant rooms, adding new pumps, new controls and a full BMS control panel to enable 24/7 monitoring of the site. With the new Remeha boilers operating efficiently and reliably, the refurbished systems are delivering high performance heating across the buildings, providing a comfortable, productive learning environment for students and staff alike.

Innovative chimney lining solution Chimflue is one of the UK’s leading specialists in the installation of FuranFlex, an innovative solution to chimney lining. Invented and manufactured in Hungary, FuranFlex is made from a thermosetting resin and glassfibre composite, encased in a tough fabric tube. It is hardened using steam, (provided by special on-site steam generators) and can mould itself to any shape of chimney. The hardened liner is incredibly tough, the internal surface is durable and smooth, which reduces resistance in the system, and some of the products carry a 25-year guarantee. The lining system is available in a wide range of diameters and lengths and offers endless possibilities. It can be used for re-lining complicated chimneys in older or listed buildings. It can be pulled fully into place in a deflated state making it easier to install. Installation can often be completed within a single day and sometimes in hours, depending on the size and length of the lining. Chimflue can provide full design, sizing and technical drawings where required, complete with the supply and installation of associated primary connections and common headers for boilers or insert gathers for fireplaces.
