Samsung Climate Solutions launches latest heating and cooling solution, HVM R32


1


1th November 2025 – Samsung Climate Solutions announces the launch of


its new heating and cooling solution for smaller commercial refurbishments, the HVM R32. Samsung’s latest modular chiller uses R32 refrigerant with a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) [1], which, combined with the HVM’s water-based system that eliminates the need for refrigerant inside a building, creates a safer and lower carbon environment inside the building. Designed with consultants in


mind, the HVM R32 is a compact, easy-to-install unit which offers reliable, consistent performance. The integration of flash injection technology enables effective heating in outdoor temperatures as low as -25°C, making it an ideal solution for colder climates. The HVM R32 features a small footprint of 1.38m² and is relatively lightweight (433kg/955 lbs), making it easy to transport on a one-ton truck, move using a handle forklift and lift into a cargo elevator before being installed in small spaces or on rooftops. Its compact nature is designed to help consultants and installers overcome challenges associated with smaller roof tops and plant room footprints, offering greater design flexibility. The system can control one or more outdoor units to provide cooling and heating across different


zones in smaller commercial environments. It can also be seamlessly connected to a wide range of indoor Samsung units including the WindFree™ 4-Way Cassette, 360 Cassette and Concealed options to offer a fully integrated system. Klaudia Szweda-Adelaja, Air Conditioning Product Manager at Samsung Climate Solutions,


commented: “When it comes to smaller commercial projects, specifiers and installers’ face a variety of challenges – including space constraints, tighter project timelines and changing regulations. In line with evolving F Gas regulations, specifying units like the HVM R32 can help to support long-term planning. Whilst today’s commercial spaces face a variety of obstacles, it’s key that the needs of occupants and end-users are central to refurbishment projects. We’re looking forward to working with our customers to deliver modular systems which can meet the evolving needs of modern commercial environments.” To find out more about Samsung’s HVM R32, visit: https://samsung-climatesolutions.com/gb/b2c/ products/chiller/hvmr32.html

Ovia Redefines Outdoor Illumination with its New Modular Beelo Bollard Range


R


enowned for its commitment to safety and security across its range of products, Ovia, part of the Scolmore Group, is proud to announce the latest addition to its successful Amenity range, the modular Beelo Bollard.


Joining Ovia’s versatile and robust collection of exterior lighting solutions, the Beelo Bollard is engineered to deliver exceptional performance, long-lasting durability, and adaptable functionality across a wide range of commercial and residential applications. The Beelo Bollard range sets a new standard for outdoor lighting by combining modular interchangeable design, impact resistance, and energy efficiency in one elegant, high-performance system.


Modular Design for Ultimate Flexibility At the heart of the Beelo range is its innovative modular concept which incorporates interchangeable head options. Each bollard head is supplied separately from the standard post, enabling quick and easy installation or replacement. Users can easily interchange Flat, Domed, Cone or Louvered bollard heads, offered in both Black and Anthracite Grey finishes, to suit the desired aesthetic or lighting requirement. Each Beelo bollard head is prewired with a Unicrimp Q-Nect IP68 connector and supplied with 150mm of cable and four, 3-port lever connectors, providing a quick, safe, and waterproof connection. This prewired system enables the head to be removed and replaced in seconds - simply unscrew three screws, wire up the new head, align it and reattach, reducing maintenance time and supporting sustainability by replacing only the head rather than the whole fitting. Each model is available as standard or as an emergency version which features a built-in test button


that activates the emergency function when pressed and held – ideal for environments such as warehouses.


Intelligent Accessory Engineering The Beelo bollard is supplied with a standard base, with an impact absorbing base available as an optional accessory. Designed to enhance the durability and functionality of the bollards, the impact absorbing base features a built-in spring mechanism that enables 360° impact absorption and the bollard to tilt up to 30° upon impact and then return to its original upright position. This innovative design helps minimise damage to both the bollard and vehicles, making it ideal for office complexes, retail environments, and car parks. Another optional accessory is the 180° shield guard that can effectively block unwanted light spillage,


for example, when installed near office windows or residential properties. The shield guard can be retrofitted easily with four screws, securing both halves around the diffuser.


Performance Without Compromise Engineered for performance and endurance in all conditions, the IP65 and IK08 rated Beelo Bollard


has a beam angle of 360° and delivers a maximum lumen output of 3600Lm and an impressive efficacy of up to 144Lm/W - outperforming many competitors in its class. It also offers CCT switchability of
