Lochinvar electric water heaters delivering zero on site emissions


H


eating, hot water and renewables


manufacturer Lochinvar has upgraded its range of high-performance electric storage water heaters for commercial and large residential applications. The Cavalier ECO


floor standing range comprises seven models all of which meet the requirements of the EcoDesign (ErP) directive and can operate at working pressures up to 8 bar with storage capacities of 173 and 264 litres. They have been designed to meet growing demand for all-electric hot water solutions that produce


zero on-site carbon emissions in line with the UK’s Net Zero targets. These fully packaged water heaters represent a significant advance for this type of technology because they feature factory-fitted multiple immersion elements for rapid hot water production. This ranges from three 3kW elements in the lowest output model (9Kw) up to nine 6kW elements powering the highest output (54kW) water heater, which can provide hot water recovery rates from 155 to 930 litres per hour, based on a temperature rise of 50°C. Lochinvar’s Cavalier ECO water heaters also work seamlessly with heat pumps when installed as part


of a ‘hybrid’ system. As this approach produces zero carbon or NOx emissions on site, they are fully BREEAM and ‘London Plan’ compliant. The immersion elements operate in sequence to provide fast recovery of hot water and better efficiency, especially during off-peak demand periods. The independent operation of each element provides stand-by in the unlikely event of any individual element failing. The enamelled steel storage vessels include an integral magnesium anode for cathodic protection


to maintain the integrity of the units over long-term operation. They are insulated with 65mm polyurethane foam and encased in an enamelled grey jacket to ensure heat losses are substantially lower than the standard required by the newly revised Part L of the Building Regulations. The Cavalier ECO range is designed for ease of maintenance with all the electrical components accessible from the front of the unit. They feature a built-in control system that enables each installation to be customised to meet its specific operating conditions and a ‘live’ fault reporting system to speed up repairs and reduce downtime.

Gilberts “ticks the boxes” in more ways than one…


T


wo into one does go with advancements to Gilberts’ natural ventilation accessories in line with changes to


Building Regulations and guidance. Its latest Series VN-S unit not only addresses noise attenuation into the internal space but is also fully non-combustible. The Series VN-S range of acoustic silencers


for natural ventilation provide sound reduction with a choice of five depths (from 100-600mm) between 19- 49dBA, depending on unit size and further influenced by the degree of open free area (from 30-50%). The units can be fitted in air intake and air transfer applications. Thus external noise and/ or noise nuisance/breakout between spaces is minimised. Tested to BS EN 10140-2 2010, the silencers are fully compliant with BB93 for acoustics within schools. Importantly for any public or commercial


building using natural ventilation, the Series VN-S is also fully non-combustible. This delivers compliance with the latest Building Regulations Approved Document F 2021, particularly with the Guidance’s interaction with Building Regulations Approved Document B. It can therefore form a key part of fire rated transfer applications when used in conjunction with approved fire, intumescent or smoke dampers. “We’re all aware of the growing drive to reduce carbon emissions, and thus the growing specification


of natural ventilation in buildings,” says Jonathan Haslam, Gilberts Managing Director. “Building services designers are all too aware of the need to balance those drivers with other considerations, including noise and fire. As the UK’s #1 independent air movement specialist, it is right that we are at the forefront of enhancements that enable designers to ‘tick all the boxes’ as efficiently as possible and have the tools to specify, as easily as possible, a strategy that is Regulatory compliant and delivers an internal environment that optimises occupant productivity and enjoyment.” Full technical details of Series VN-S can be found on Gilberts’ website:
