new pTwo, a first use or retrofittable remote meter reading device. The pTwo has been designed to solve


E


the issue of meter reading data where there is no existing cabling or metering infrastructure. It can be installed onto Mbus or pulse


output meters. Simply connect the Mbus or pulse terminals, fix the pTwo to a surface and plug the battery in. It will automatically connect to the meter and upload the Mbus readings to Energy Billing’s site. This can then be used to calculate a bill. There’s also a mains powered option. Bill Bates, Director at Energy Billing, says,


“We’ve been approached on numerous occasions where the reading of the meters hasn’t been fully considered and the option to run structured cabling is either too


expensive or physically impossible. Therefore we designed the pTwo to give customers a viable way of still achieving readings.” The pTwo can read the Mbus or pulse


output from standard Energy Meters (Heat, Electric or Gas), or it can be a simple pulse count, a full “raw” Mbus readout or a parsed (human readable) Mbus output. Find out more at:

oval has extended the upper range of its popular UltraGas condensing boilers with the launch of the UltraGas® (1550) – a 1550kW


boiler with a remarkably small footprint for its output, of just 3.3m2. Measuring only 1550mm width, 2152mm depth


and 2547mm height, this compact boiler uses a standing system with upright heat exchangers to occupy less floor space. This, combined with flexible connections, makes the UltraGas (1550) ideal for installation in tight spaces. In keeping with the rest of the UltraGas family,


UltraGas (1550) combines high efficiency with low emissions at all outputs thanks to its innovative aluFer heat exchanger design and modulating premix burner. NOx emissions, for instance are just 31 mg/kWh (relative to gross calorific value, according to EN 15502) The premix burner can be adjusted across a wide


range to meet varying heat loads. As a result, UltraGas (1550) delivers a modulation range from 328kW to 1550kW. In parallel, the boiler’s high water content works like a buffer for precise management of flow rates and return temperatures. Control is via Hoval’s intelligent TopTronic® system,


which can also act as an interface with building management systems. The Hoval UltraGas (1550) is currently available as


a single boiler and will be launched as a double boiler in the spring of 2020. Further information:

New commercial ducted fan range delivers ultra low energy usage and longlife reliability


A


new range of ultralow energy commercial extract fans, which combine rugged construction with proven longlife reliability, is now available


from DunhamBush. All fans in the range are ERP compliant as required by the NonDomestic Building Services Directive 2013 and are manufactured from high quality galvanized sheet steel fitted with acoustic nonhygroscopic foam and nonoverloading ‘100,000’ hour long life, ultralow energy EC fans. Designed for applications requiring continuity of


supply, such as public buildings, the eTF series of ducted twin inline extract fans offer duty shared up to 900 l/s and come as standard with a combined auto changeover and speed controller with fault output (ECOTF). For roof top applications the eRTF series of fans offer duty shared up to 900 l/s. They are available with weather proofed casings suitable for both flat and pitched roofs. Completing this comprehensive new line up and


designed for smaller applications, the eDF series of ducted single extract fans offers duties up to 900 l/s. Ideal for use in small offices, where the occupant requires manual control over air flow, this fan requires a separate ECOSPEED controller, which enables manual variable local speed control with an off position. The eDF Plus comes as standard with the EcoSF controller, which allows trickle and boost options with speed adjustment. This controller can be enabled/disabled via a BMS/VFC time switch with an off position. The eDF series also includes an external weather proofed version.
