EcoShield Water heaters get smart L


ochinvar has adapted its ‘smart’ app based boiler control system for use with its EcoShield™ range of commercial


water heaters. Originally launched in 2017 for its Herald


range of gasfired condensing boilers, the Con Xus™ system enables users to connect their smart devices, including smart phones and tablets, to the onboard controls. This allows the water heaters to be monitored and adjusted from literally anywhere in the world. The availability of continual monitoring using smart technology in this way ensures any operating problems can be identified early. This means they can be quickly rectified, thus minimising the impact of any potential loss of hot water supply. ConXus is available as an ancillary option,


which can be ordered and fitted to the water heater before despatch, or retrofitted on site. The user only requires an internet connection, but any loss of connectivity will not affect the water heater’s operation. The app is free to download and is suitable


for iPhone or Android devices. There are no ongoing costs and it provides full control with email or text alerts keeping users connected and updated 24/7. EcoShield water heaters are available in six models with hot water recovery rates ranging from 612 to 2,436 litres per hour, based on a 50°C temperature rise. They can now be remotely operated using the ConX us touch screen technology or by typing in specific information to adjust set points, outdoor reset curves, pump controls and many other functions.


Alerts ConXus allows users to monitor the performance of the water heater in real time, and can be configured to provide a variety of alerts, including service reminders or system lockout alarms. One particularly useful feature is the system’s ability to log history, including temperature settings, which can be an essential part of any legionella prevention regime. Service and maintenance technicians or


Lochinvar’s own technical support team can be given temporary access to ConXus so that any operational problems can be resolved as


quickly as possible. The system can also be configured by the main user to allow up to three extra service personnel to receive email or text alerts. ConXus uses colourcoded status alerts to


indicate if the water heater needs attention or servicing. It describes any potential problem and offers an immediate solution. “Smart technology really comes into its own in this kind of very practical application,” said Lochinvar sales director, Liam Elmore, “By acting as an early warning system, the app

reduces service and repair costs and avoids potential system downtime. “ConXus also allows for continual


monitoring so the user can adjust settings at any time of day or night from wherever they are. This means the supply of hot water can be managed efficiently, instantly responding to any change in user requirements or operating conditions – and all for a fraction of the cost of a building management system.”

alternative to the complexities that a fully capable BMS can bring with it. What makes the SYX66x range exceptional is the combination of ease of use with flexibility. The controllers are very easy to setup and are adaptable to manage almost any simple plantroom. Guided by simple setup options for the system (boiler, heating, HWS etc) the controller is directly customised for the building it is installed in. A wide range of installation accessories are ready to be used with the


U


SYX66x which allow simple upgrades of older optimiser/compensator control systems. The SYX66x range also supports different sensor types from other manufacturers thus saving even more time and money. Furthermore, the SYX66x range can be integrated into larger supervised systems if required. The SYX66x is a simple to use heating control system, suitable for facilities such as schools, clinics, offices, and assisted living facilities. The controller in particular helps schools improve performance by monitoring its optimisation results. If there is an issue with the heating it will let you know. No specialist tools or software is needed. The SYX66x uses simple


terminology that is easy to understand. It can be managed locally via its own interface, from a remote computer/touch screen, or if WiFi is available, from a smart device such as a phone or tablet.

The SIP Insight Energy Building Information Software (EBIS) from Synapsys Solutions can gather and present a building’s data in a way that enables the building manager to determine an effective energy management strategy. This leads to ongoing energy savings and reduces short and long term energy usage. Building managers have access

to a lot of data, from metering systems and Building Management Systems (BMS), but analysing data from two independently run systems can be complicated and ineffective. The EBIS takes the two data sets and provides a single source of comprehensive data that can be

properly analysed. Using the EBIS a building or energy manager can view a wide range of information, including energy consumption, carbon footprint and plant status. The data can be displayed on charts of the user’s preference (e.g. bar chart, line graph etc) so that consumption trends can be spotted easily and acted upon. By identifying how, when and


where a building uses the most energy, the manager can develop an effective control strategy that can be tested and implemented to maximise savings.
