IN FOCUS A
Dplus, from commercial hot water specialist Adveco, is a range of high-power gas-fired condensing water heaters. The
three variants with 70 kW, 115 kW and 140 kW rated heat output each feature an integrated 120- litre stainless steel water storage tank instantly providing continuous and on-demand domestic hot water (DHW). Heat is provided by the patented Fecralloy
premix burner fed by a consistent balanced air/ gas ratio at each point of turndown. The high modulation ratio results in high combustion efficiency with ultra-low NOX (Class 6 appliance at 27 mg/kWh) and CO emissions (19ppm). A built-in flue back preventer on the combustion circuit prevents possible flue gas recirculation between different exchangers. The 115kW and 140kW ADplus variants offer two high-quality heat exchangers. Constructed from a corrosive- resistant continuous run of AISI 316Ti titanium- stabilised stainless steel, these provide balanced highly efficient operation and built-in redundancy. Designed as a high capacity and reliable
method for delivering instantaneous hot water to a commercial building, the tough, stainless steel 120-litre storage tank is provided with electronic anodic protection and high-quality polyurethane thermal insulation. This enables the ADplus to serve as a semi-storage system, providing always available and instantaneous supply with quick recovery times for large-scale continuous provision of DHW. For smaller on-demand needs, ADplus heats what is necessary, with no ignition for smaller withdrawals providing considerable energy savings. When heat is required, the condensing technology provides up to 30% savings in fuel consumption. To reduce acidity build-up caused by the condensing process, the ADplus is equipped
with a condensate acidity neutraliser, specifically sized to restore tolerable pH values. With the anti-corrosive construction, ADplus can be used with soft and softened water. For harder water, the recirculating pump regulates the correct water flow according to inlet water hardness helping to prevent the formation of limescale on the heat exchanger surface, ensuring high performance throughout its life cycle. The ADplus boasts a compact, floor- standing arrangement designed to pass through a standard 65cm wide door for easy installation without need for racking and just 10cm clearance between units. Front access to all inner components allows for quick, easy maintenance. The integrated cascade controller supports full temperature control and self-check maintenance functions for up to 8 joined units. The controller accommodates 0-10 input, MODBUS communication, and alarm output for seamless BMS integration. With minimal NOX and CO emissions,
the ADplus range is an eco-friendly way to serve your building’s DHW system. The rugged construction, supported by Adveco’s in-house warranty engineers, provides real peace of mind for your investment with operational longevity and full compliance with the latest building regulations, making it perfect for refurbishment of existing gas-fired systems and new projects seeking lower cost system redundancy for large-scale heat pump based applications.

Panasonic Provides 5-Star Heating and Cooling for Holiday Rentals
he standard for holiday rentals in the UK is high, with a very competitive market post-pandemic. Overall guest comfort is an
important factor to ensure a successful year-round holiday rental and having high quality heating and cooling can be the ideal accessory to help attract visitors. Installers, Pinder Cooling + Heating, helped take two holiday rentals to the next level with Panasonic’s Etherea with nanoe™X. The first property is a self-contained flat based
near Bradford, and the second is a 2-bed, 2-bath penthouse apartment in the heart of York. Both properties were seeking a highly efficient and discreet solution to maintain heating and cooling levels throughout the year to ensure maximum comfort for guests. Andrew Pinder, Founder of Pinder Cooling + Heating commented, “since the pandemic air quality has been a major concern for people when staying outside of their homes. We decided Panasonic’s Etherea with nanoe X would be the ideal solution for these properties thanks to its fantastic heating and cooling abilities and stylish design, plus the fantastic benefits of nanoe™X. Not many holiday rentals in the UK even consider air conditioning, let alone going the extra mile with nanoe™X technology – this just puts these properties far above the rest.” Panasonic’s range of Etherea with nanoe™X units is the smart solution to keep any environment
clean, comfortable, and welcoming. It’s renowned for being highly efficient, and the sleek and stylish design allows for a unit that suits any interior with a compact width of just 870mm. 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. The units come with nanoe™X technology as standard. Panasonic’s advanced technology produces up to 9.6 trillion hydroxyl radicals (also known as OH radicals) per second. Abundant in nature, OH 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. Leanne Mace, Account Manager at Panasonic, said “with nanoe™X it’s not just about the air, the
fact that it cleans hard and soft surfaces too adds that extra layer of protection – it means that when a guest lays their head on a cushion, they have the peace of mind knowing it’s been cleaned with nanoe™X. It also can work independently from the heating and cooling, so for guests arriving you can put on fan only mode with nanoe™X for a special welcoming feel. We’re delighted to see the rise in our highly efficient products being used in holiday rentals – they go hand-in-hand for the perfect solution.”
