SPONSORS INSTALLATION NEWS BG’s SyncEV Chargers At Lace Fields B


G’s SyncEV Chargers have been installed at Lace Fields, one of the latest housing developments by William Davis Homes. Lace Fields when completed, will enjoy around 800-character homes nestled


in the historic village of Ruddington, offering the best of both town and country living. BG SyncEV (part of the Luceco PLC Group) offers a range of EV


charging products for the home or the workplace that are smart, powerful, and packed with technology and a 3 year warranty for complete peace of mind. The EVS7G charger was selected for Lace Fields, a type 2 socketed


dynamic 7.4kW wall charger with WiFi and Smart! Functionality - OCPP 1.6J connectivity. The charger has integrated earth fault protection (RCD) + PEN protection system so an earth rod is not required. As part of the WiFi connectivity, free lifetime software updates over-the-air are available and the SyncEV easy to use app shows usage and cost, the Smart technology optimising home EV charging selecting the cheapest, greenest energy possible. After installation and commissioning,


homeowners are given supporting literature as part of their welcome pack, BG SyncEV chargers are fully compliant with current standards and 3rd party approved by DEKRA. William Davis Homes have been building


houses for more than 85 years, their ethos underpinned by strong family values and understanding what makes each house a home. As well as craftsmanship, comfort and security, William Davis Homes look to futureproof their homes with technology, meeting the expectations of prospective homeowners, electric vehicle charging facilities from BG’s SyncEV being an element of their continued success.


www.luceco.com Gilberts helps create the perfect atmosphere for luxury jewellery retailing O


ne of the UK’s most innovative retail spaces” is achieving the ideal atmosphere to showcase luxury watch and jewellery brands including Rolex and Tag Heuer through bespoke ventilation.


Britain’s leading independent air movement specialist Gilberts (Blackpool) worked closely with consultants Steven A Hunt to deliver the perfect ambience at David M Robinson’s new flagship outlet, to an interior design by LXA. The refurbished showroom in Liverpool ONE represents a 70+%


increase on floor space- to almost 4,500 sq ft- to accommodate in-store VIP spaces, a champagne bar, a dedicated Rolex showroom and enhanced jewellery and watch workshops. Gilberts’ DGA square faced louvres and JSL high capacity linear slot


diffusers have been installed by Arthur McKay throughout the store, in walls and ceilings, to provide compliant indoor air quality and discreet ventilation. Thus, two- and four-way side entry DGAs and 50mm wide JSLs were fitted, the latter in runs from 1.6m up to 8m. To reflect the interior design palette, Gilberts in-house powder-coated


the diffusers to blend into their locations, using a palette of beige grey, pure white, oyster white and pale brown, in matt and 20% gloss finish. Dave Kelly, Director @ Steven A Hunt, commented, “We trusted


Gilberts to supply the internal grilles as we can know we can rely on their quality, support and quality of finishes with the various RAL colours that were required for this prestigious and luxurious project.”


www.gilbertsblackpool.com Hot Water Cylinders and Indirect Water Heating For Commercial Projects I


ndirect-fired water heaters (also known as calorifiers) and buffer tanks are a requirement on commercial build projects where large volume storage of water at high temperatures is specified. To introduce thermal energy an additional heat source is required. Typically, the water will be


heated directly by a gas or electric boiler, passing it through the cylinder and using heat exchange to transfer energy to the cold water in a separate system of pipework. This does mean that an indirect water heater cannot react as quickly to demand as a direct-fired water heater, however, with the cylinder working as a buffer and storing the hot water reduces the operational demands placed on the boiler. With the boiler no longer required to work as hard to meet the domestic hot water (DHW) needs of a building, energy is saved, costs are reduced and emissions fall. Due to the transfer of heat through the walls of the heat exchanger element, the two fluids do


not mix. This allows for more options in terms of the external heat supply and introduces a range of renewable technologies that use other fluids for heat transfer including solar thermal collectors and Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP). Using heat pumps or solar as an energy source to preheat water within


an indirect cylinder then enables a reduction in work from the direct top-up heat source. This is what enables DHW systems to reduce energy costs and emissions to varying degrees depending on whether this additional heating is provided by electricity or gas. One other key advantage of separating the supplies is that the risks of external contamination such as


a build-up of scale in hard water areas or the corrosive effects of soft water are curtailed. As with any hot water application, understanding the relationship between storage and recovery,


and correct sizing is extremely important for efficient and cost-effective operation. The patterns of hot water usage and recognition of periods of peak demands often make sizing a complicated process, with many systems overcompensating and, by being oversized becoming more costly and less efficient. At its simplest, a commercial system should hold an hour of hot water output in storage, but the function of the building, its population and activities will adjust requirements, for example, where hospitals will typically exhibit a 24/7 demand for hot water, schools and offices may be limited to just 7½ hours per day. In some refurbishment scenarios, we will also see a physical limitation of space available for DHW storage, in which case a system will put more demand on the boiler or renewable to increase the output for preheating, reducing the required size of the cylinder. Integrating an indirect water heater within a hot water system gives you a


number of design options, as a larger cylinder means the boiler can be smaller, or the reverse if the existing system has a large efficient boiler. Understanding the hot water demand is critical. If demand is not so great, then using a larger cylinder can lead to unnecessary capital and ongoing operational expenditure. Go too small and the storage could prove inadequate and the system will not achieve its operational requirements. Attaining the correct balance of demand and efficient, cost-effective supply is what ultimately defines a successful system. At Adveco, these factors are supported by a wide variety of cylinders.


The Stainless Steel Indirect (SSI) range, for example, is supplied with a single high-output internal heat exchange coil at a low level to serve as an indirect water heater. The ATSx range provides water heaters designed to be used with indirect


heat sources across a range of DHW installations exhibiting smaller demands but requiring more than six bar pressure. For more complex and renewable- based systems, the Stainless Steel Twin-Coil (SST) or ATSR ranges offer a pair of independent internal heat exchange coils to serve DHW systems. Each high-output coil can be used with a separate heat source, enabling effective integration of renewable technologies or multiple heat sources, or alternatively can be combined to increase the heat transfer capacity from a single high-output source. The GL range of hot water cylinders provides a lower cost choice, with the GLC


serving as indirect water heaters or preheat vessels, GLE serving as an electric water heater or buffer, and the GLT range offering twin coils for two separate heat sources. These hot water cylinder ranges come with multiple connectivity options and


offer from 200 to 5000 litres of storage, giving specifiers a wealth of choices when designing bespoke DHW systems with Adveco.
