British-designed modular air-handling system
Air Sentry is a British-designed modular air-handling solution for healthcare. Designated as hybrid or mix mode, depending upon how it is installed, it can be used ‘in most clinical areas’. The company said: “Being 100% sourced in the UK means a very low supplier carbon footprint, and assurance of supply for spares and future support. Customers have the reassurance that the system is already widely used across the NHS, most recently to protect patients and staff from Coronavirus.”
Air Sentry utilises an EN14644 part 3 independently verified filtration system, which uses ULPA15 media certificated down to HEPA14. The company said: “This gives a unique performance assurance, and, with our verified approach to installation assessment, can help mitigate risk, supported by a 10-year warranty.”
Converting the Net Zero aspiration into reality
With squeezed budgets and challenging targets, rising energy costs are placing NHS organisations under significant strain. ‘Prices are at an all- time high, and show no sign of falling back anytime soon’. So says energy management and
The main air purification module can
be extended to offer fresh air input, and HVAC input, and can also offer both positive and negative pressure differential. This reportedly makes Air Sentry ideal for low void installations, or where installing full air-handling would be difficult. The low-cost system can help reduce carbon emissions using a hybrid mix mode approach to ventilation.
‘Complete solution’ for steam to water heat exchange
ARI-Armaturen UK – which will be exhibiting on stand C4 – specialises in pipeline equipment for steam systems, thermal oil, and hot water, and is a subsidiary of a large German engineering company, reputed to have the largest valve stock in Europe.
The company is keen to highlight its new ENCOsys system, which it dubs ‘a complete solution for steam to water heat exchange’. ‘Reliable, efficient, and cost-effective’, key features include: n An ‘extremely compact and efficient design’ that ensures minimal heat loss.
n Improved temperature control, with a lower set-point resulting in larger energy savings, as the water
flowing through the system is at a lower temperature.
n Thermal efficiency – by heating the
secondary water, and sub-cooling the condensate in the same plate heat exchanger, ‘substantial energy savings’ can be achieved.
n Operational savings – ENCOsys requires ‘a minimum level of servicing’, which ARI-Armaturen can carry out using its in-house service engineers.
n Designed to provide hot water instantaneously ‘whatever the load conditions’, up to 2100 kW without the need for water storage.
Focused on ‘safe, nurturing environments’
The Design in Mental Health Network (DiMHN) says it is the only dedicated, not-for-profit organisation focused on designing safe, nurturing environments for mental health patients that will support their wellbeing and recovery journey.
The organisation said: “We’re driven by one critical fact: design matters. It isn’t a ‘nice to have’, or an optional extra, but is vital to the wellbeing of everyone who works in or uses the services of the mental health sector. We actively encourage the engagement of those with lived experience in the design

process, alongside design, estates, and healthcare professionals, ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard, and design is co-produced.
“Our volunteer Board and Associates are active in projects including our ‘Informed Choices’ testing initiative with the BRE, ongoing research projects and publications, and community engagement. Our growing network is open to anyone with an interest in the design of mental health facilities, and is inclusive of experts by experience, clinical experts, and designers, as well as product manufacturers and estate owners.
“Step by step, conversation by conversation, action by action, we are making a difference. Collectively, we continue to learn what ‘good’ looks like, sharing experience and expertise to enable organisations to create well- designed environments for everyone that uses them. If you can contribute, please do. Our network will be stronger for your input. Come and talk to us on stand G6.”
sustainability consultancy, Inenco, which adds that against this backdrop, it is working with ‘dozens’ of NHS Trusts to implement effective procurement and trading strategies and optimise consumption, while also setting out clear plans to convert the Net Zero aspiration into a reality. Jordan Rassas, head of New Business,
explains why he and his team are eager to attend Healthcare Estates: “This is an incredibly challenging time to work in energy management, but with a 54- year heritage of helping clients navigate the impact of the Middle East conflict in the ‘70s, through to the global recession in the 2000s, we believe we are well placed to help Trusts manage these current choppy waters. One of our large commercial clients is still benefitting from pricing at 1/10th of current market levels, thanks to an initiative-taking trading strategy. Healthcare Estates provides the ideal opportunity to share that learning with delegates.” Inenco has helped a number of
Trusts develop their Green Plans and related decarbonisation strategies. It is sponsoring the ‘Sustainable Achievement’ category in the 2022 Healthcare Estates IHEEM Awards.
