olseley Climate launches improved Beermaster range for hospitality sector reopening


Specialist cooling merchant Wolseley


Climate has overhauled its popular Beermaster range to meet the market’s need for a contemporary fullsystem solution as a result of longterm closures across the hospitality sectors. Designed to meet the demands of the


modern cellar cooling system, the new Beermaster range comes with multiple improvements. With noise being of notable concern to end users, the new Beermaster’s design now features a lownoise external rotor design, improving sound performance by  3dBa. The updated technology is also smaller in


footprint and includes highefficiency EC fans and ZS scroll compressors. In addition, the new models utilise low GWP


refrigerants 448A and 449A – an essential consideration for installers looking to future proof their customer’s cooling system in line with Fgas regulations. The new generation has also been designed


with easy installation and maintenance in mind. A new mechanical pressure switch, positive control fascia buttons and easy


maintenance access means installers can be reassured that ease of fitting and servicing is straightforward and convenient. Alongside this, its slave and master system


can meet cooling capacities between 3 and 15kW and has rated ambient temperatures of up to 38°C, all featured within a highly flexible modular system. As a result of these changes, the


Beermaster system’s COP has increased by up to 10%, significantly lowering the operating costs for the enduser and improving the equipment’s longterm environmental impact. This is welcoming news for businesses looking to minimise longterm costs and invest capital in a robust system that’s prepared for the rapidly approaching industrywide changes to refrigeration. Peter Woods, Technical Sales Director at


Wolseley Climate, said: “For over 20 years Beermaster has been a standard in the marketplace, providing ambience to hospitality venues across the UK and overseas. As the hospitality industry looks to bounce back following longterm closures, it’s important to take steps to make sure the products they are serving are of the highest quality, the environment is welcoming, and that any capital investment helps minimise their


Advanced Smoke Group Launch the First Ever Comprehensive Guide to Car Park Ventilation


specialist, who was responsible for introducing jet fan ventilation into the UK 20 years ago. The book includes sections on the purpose


T


of ventilation, a no holds barred review of current building regulations and standards, system design, new hazards created by electrically powered vehicles and commissioning and handover of systems. The “no holds barred” examination of the relevant building


regulations questions the relevance of the guidance for the design of naturally ventilated car parks, considering origin of the size of ventilation openings quoted in the approved documents and their adequacy for modern cars. In the chapter relating to electrically powered vehicles, several


independent reports are quoted that express concerns about the fire hazards associated with EV’s, particularly in relation to reignition, thermal runaway and toxic gases. It is essential reading for smoke control specialists, consulting engineers,


fire engineers, architects and developers. With guidance on commissioning and verification of system performance, it would also be a very useful document to building control officers and fire service personnel.


The book will be on sale from early January. Copies of the book can be peordered by emailing publications@advancedsmoke.co.uk


Panasonic’s new generation of Etherea with enhanced nanoe™X


your home clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Panasonic’s Etherea is renowned for being highly efficient, meeting any home’s needs.


P


nanoe™X technology with the benefits of hydroxyl radicals Panasonic’s maintenancefree nanoe™X technology has been enhanced with the nanoe™X Generator Mark 2, providing twice the production capacity of hydroxyl radicals (also known as OH radicals) – up to 9.6 trillion per second. Abundant in nature, hydroxyl radicals have the capacity to inhibit certain pollutants, viruses, and bacteria to clean and deodorise. nanoe™X technology can bring these incredible benefits indoors so that hard surfaces, soft furnishings, and the indoor environment can be a cleaner and pleasant place to be. nanoe™X works independently from the heating and cooling operation when the unit is in fan mode, improving protection 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.


anasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions has announced its latest Etherea range, now integrating the nanoe™X Generator Mark 2. Launching in March – the new range is the smart solution to keep


Recent independent test results In a European first, Texcell*1, a global contract research organisation, has certified the inhibitory effect on the novel coronavirus (SARSCoV2) by an air conditioner with nanoe™ X (unit used in test previous model: Etherea CSZ25VKEW generating up to 4.8 trillion hydroxyl radicals per second). Texcell has now certified that the nanoe™ X does have a 91.4% inhibitory effect on the novel coronavirus in an actual space of 6.7m3 over 8 hours using the air conditioner with nanoe™ X. This testing was carried out in a closed laboratory environment and was not designed to assess its efficacy in uncontrolled living spaces. Test report: 114001 C3.


Top class energy Etherea boasts the highest energy rank of A+++ in heating and cooling, providing the greatest level of comfort. The airtoair technology allows for a highly energy efficient solution to ensure optimal use yearround, utilising R32 refrigerant for a much lower environmental impact.


Advanced smart control and voice assistant The latest range also boasts advanced smart control and voice assistant. The unit’s pair with Panasonic’s Comfort Cloud app which is specially designed to easily manage all system functions simply via a smart device, allowing benefits such as remote access to heating and cooling solutions, the ability to activate 24hour nanoe™X, analyse energy usage patterns and much more. Through the Comfort Cloud app, Etherea units can also be connected to some of the leading voice assistants on the market to further optimise air conditioning standard without having to lift a finger.


Fast and comfortable solution Panasonic strives to create a comfortable environment for homeowners, which has led to the Etherea range featuring Aerowings 2.0.

Panasonic’s Aerowings technology consists of two independent flexible vanes that concentrate airflow to heat or cool a room in the shortest time possible and helps distribute air evenly throughout a room. Thanks to the larger sub vane (72mm), which is more than double in size compared to other conventional designs, the ability to lift airflow has been further improved.


Sleek design for any home The timeless design has a stylish and sleek finish that suits any interior, now more compact with a width of 870mm. The elegant monolithic model is robust and allows for a highperformance air conditioner. It also comes with an easytouse remote controller with an ergonomic design and tapered rear housing for the most comfortable grip. The minimalist remote controller allows for an aesthetically pleasing design. Additionally, the design of the complete domestic/residential wall


type range allows for easy installation and maintenance. www.aircon.panasonic.eu

undertaken in the Netherlands by WLN, a leading organisation in the field of water quality and water technology, which compared the IDEXX Legiolert® test with the Dutch national reference method, NEN 6265 (comparable to the ISO 11731) in the detection of Legionella pneumophila. Comparing the methods in both potable and nonpotable water


I


samples, the study concluded that the “Legiolert method performed as well as the standard NEN 6265 method in detection of Legionella pneumophila in potable and nonpotable water samples. In non potable water Legiolert is a better method for detection of Legionella pneumophila than culturing on solid media due to disturbing overgrowth of other bacteria on those plates, which is not a factor of concern with Legiolert.” According to data from cultures of 4,719 patients over seven years in


17 countries,1 Legionella. pneumophila causes 97% of Legionnaires’ disease cases. Nonpotable sources of Legionella pneumophila include evaporative cooling systems, and data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) show that in the U.S., Legionella pneumophila has been the only cause of cooling tower related disease outbreaks.2 This latest study confirms conclusions from other trials conducted with Legiolert.

New bowls club facilities benefits from heating, cooling and hot water expertise


system at its impressive new home. After 112 years at York Road, Maidenhead, The Bowling Club moved


T


in May 2019 to a brand new purposebuilt Club situated in Green Lane, Maidenhead. The new club facilities include indoor bowling on 8 rinks and a 6 rink outdoor green. There are also full bar and catering facilities on site, with an excellent and comfortable lounge bar and seating areas for up to 150 people. The new site benefits from ample car parking with 107 car spaces and 2 coach spaces. Setpoint Solutions was appointed to assist with the design, supply and


installation of the new system. The company turned to LG for the equipment that was needed to deliver the installation to the highest of Sports England building standards, working alongside construction company Wren on the project. It was a tight timescale to turn around a project of this size and complexity, but the installation was completed


within the seven weeks allowed for the work. The biggest challenge of the project was the heating and cooling for the indoor green area – a massive area measuring 40 metres by 40 metres, with a ceiling height of 8 metres. Setpoint’s Jody Lees proposed the LG Multi V5 25kW high static


ducted units for the job which cope well with long piping distances between condensers and fan coils. The bar lounge, changing rooms and office areas are served with LG’s efficient ceiling mounted cassettes and heat recovery ventilation units which are linked to a 25kW LG Hydro kit which provides the lowpressure hot water heating circuit. The complete solution is operated by the LG Touch Screen Controller and maximises efficiency while also reducing running costs for the Club. Full details of the LG Multi V5 VRF system installed can be obtained
