Heating & renewable energy Evinox ModuSat® XR takes HIU efficiency to another level E
vinox has extended its best-selling range of ModuSat® Heat Interface Units with the introduction of the new ModuSat® XR
and ModuSat® XR- ECO Twin Plate models. Providing both indirect space heating and domestic hot water, ModuSat® XR units are ideal for use in modern, efficient district and communal heat networks. All units deliver fast, dynamic domestic hot water response, and the ModuSat® XR-ECO models also provide ultra-low DHW return temperatures to the primary heat network. With extensive experience in the design and
application of HIU’s across thousands of UK-wide installations, Evinox has made significant advances in the performance of its latest range, aiming to help improve the overall efficiency of heat networks, whilst retaining high levels of user satisfaction and comfort levels.
EVEN FASTER, MORE EFFICIENT DOMESTIC HOT WATER PERFORMANCE An overriding requirement for many consulting engineers involved in the design and specification of heat networks, is to ensure abundant and responsive supply of domestic hot water. This goes hand-in-hand with residents expecting consistent and safe hot water at the tap. ModuSat® XR HIU’s deliver fast hot water without reducing the efficiency of the heat network.
EVINOX MODUSAT® XR-ECO; HOW LOW CAN YOU GO? It’s clear that lowering system temperatures is a critical factor in the efficient operation of UK heat networks. Reducing the network primary flow & return temperatures enables heat generation plant to operate more efficiently; lower grade, low carbon heat sources to play a more predominant role in the energy mix; and network heat losses to be dramatically reduced. ModuSat® XR-ECO units have been designed
precisely with this in mind, incorporating ultra-high efficiency domestic hot water plate heat exchangers with improved volumetrics that encourage turbulent flow and optimal heat transfer. These latest improvements mean designers are
given the opportunity to focus on the energy efficiency performance of HIU’s and the wider heat network, with the confidence that units will continue to deliver impressive full load hot water capacity and flow rates.
A NEW TEST STANDARD FOR HEAT INTERFACE UNITS FROM BESA The ModuSat® XR has been tested under a new UK test standard, intended to help heat network designers to evaluate individual HIU performance on their network under typical UK conditions. The new scheme, operated by the Building
Engineering Services Association (BESA), will provide HIU benchmarking, similar in many ways to the SEDBUK scheme for domestic boilers.

Encasement helps HAs save time and money boxing in boiler pipework
consumption while improving efficiency, it is also important that the updated systems look good and are cost effective. To help achieve this, Encasement’s pre-formed
A
boiler pipe casings are manufactured to the required boiler dimensions and pre-finished with durable melamine or laminate, so there is no need for on-site fabrication or painting, allowing them to be fitted in less than half the time of site made alternatives, which saves time and money. By using and Encasement pre-formed boiler
casing, which are supplied to the correct dimensions, the freestanding casing just slides into place underneath the boiler, which can be done by the heating engineer at the time of the boiler installation. Also, as each casing is manufactured to the same
high quality, using only FSC® ‘Chain of custody’ certified and sustainably sourced timber; they provide a consistent finish, as well as being compliant with housing association sustainable procurement policies. Every boiler pipe casing order is accompanied
with a copy of Encasement’s FSC® certification, which takes car of compliance and traceability.
s housing association heating system refurbishment and upgrade programmes aim to reduce emissions and energy
Also, as the company supplies so much FSC® boxing, it can purchase cost effectively, so there’s no price premium for using FSC® compliant products. Routine maintenance and boiler servicing is
simplified too. With site made boiler casings they’re usually damaged or destroyed during removal, which requires their replacement or re-manufacture, as well as re-fitting, all of which adds labour and materials costs. As Encasement’s
pre-formed boiler casings are self-supporting, they can be easily removed and replaced in seconds, dramatically reducing the time maintenance engineers need to be on site along with the associated cost.
