WHAT’S NEW Banking on Gilberts to help achieve excellence E


ven the choice of ventilation diffusers has played a part the architectural aesthetics in a landmark office development precited to achieve a BREEAM excellent rating.


Sleekness is the overriding theme of 100 Embankment, a 15,000ft2


premium Grade A office development over nine floors in the heart of Manchester. BAM Construct UK commissioned A & B Engineering to design and install the M&E services for the project, which blends an existing Grade II listed viaduct with the steel and glass building above. A & B chose Gilberts Blackpool for the supply of more than 500


ventilators to air the internal spaces. Gilberts’ PG perforated face ventilation diffusers, complimented by its GSFA circular swirl diffusers, ensure excellent distribution of fresh air throughout the internal space and mirror the smooth, angular interior design. “Gilberts’ diffusers were the ideal choice to balance the design


aesthetics with the practicalities of installation,” explained A & B Engineering Contracts Director Ian Buxton. “The main office areas have exposed services. By using side entry plenum boxes to connect the flexible ductwork to the diffusers, we were able to easily connect the services, then secure the diffusers through using concealed fixings. In this way we were able to achieve the continuity of eyeline and aesthetic whilst delivering on the draughtfree ventilation targets. “We know from experience that Gilberts can be relied upon to deliver


what we need, within the timeframes, with the capability to design and engineer solutions that achieve the objectives.” The PG perforated diffusers were specified as a combination of some


solely supply and some solely extract, whilst the GSFA swirl diffusers provide predominantly supply air as they enable rapid entrainment and intermixing of high volumes of air into the conditioned space. Gilberts GX air valves provide extraction of stale air in the toilet areas throughout 100 Embankment.


SANHA introduce a new dimension of pipes and fittings to its existing stainless steel series


“With this latest addition to our portfolio earlier in 2020, we can fully cover the demands for larger piping, for example risers in tall buildings”, explains Mathias Van den Broeck, Product Manager at SANHA. The demand has been growing in the past years in many parts of the world and are expected to grow even further. Both dimensions are introduced in two types of material. “In this way,


we give our customers the opportunity to choose the most suitable and economically advantageous system, depending on the application.”


Premium stainless steel 1.4404 and 1.4301 All NiroSan® press fittings and pipes are made from the premium stainless steel type 1.4404 / AISI 316L (for pressing components). The material 1.4404 contains at least 2.3 % molybdenum, yet less carbon than the conventional type 1.4401. For this reason the material is a superior material with higher corrosion resistance than standard stainless steels. The NiroTherm fittings and pipes are produced from the material


1.4301 (AISI 304). The system offers a safe and reliable solution, especially in humid environments, without the risk of external corrosion and thus offers an excellent alternative to carbon steel systems. Thanks to the high corrosion resistance, there are large savings in personnel and material costs for the insulation against humidity.

KW has extended its EVOTEC range of designer tabletop plastic enclosures with a new sloping top version of its 150 size. Softcontoured EVOTEC electronic enclosures are elegant and


ergonomic – but robust enough to withstand challenging working environments. Applications include measurement and control, IT, IoT/IIoT, gateways, medical, laboratory and environmental technology. New EVOTEC 150 Version III features a recessed top that is inclined


by 12° for more comfortable viewing and operation. Its large operating area can accommodate switches, pushbuttons and touch displays. This twopart enclosure is assembled with tamperproof Torx stainless steel screws, a key requirement for medical devices. PCBs can be fitted to screw pillars in the top and bottom. Rubber feet ensure stable positioning on flat surfaces.

A


PF330 and 220 range Micronics has developed a New range of portable, clampon, ultrasonic flow instruments, incorporating the latest technology whilst still retaining the key feature of simple operation, to provide quick, out of the box results! The PORTAFLOW PF333 offers the user quick and accurate flow and


energy measurement and with its easy to follow menu and simple set up, results can be achieved within minutes of opening the case! The range continues to bring simplicity to the noninvasive measurement of liquid flow and now with the addition of hydronic liquid flow energy measurement for hot and chilled water applications. The PF333 is a portable, simple to use ultrasonic clampon flow and thermal, heat/energy meter, that uses the latest cross correlation ultrasound flow measurement system to measure flow rate and clampon PT100 temperature sensors to measure flow and return temperatures. The PF333 measures energy rate and totalised energy and the Hydronic thermal energy, heat or cooling load is calculated from a combination of the flow rate and the flow and return temperature difference or delta T to comply with EN1434 section 6. The integral Data Logging has a capacity of 100,000,000 data points


with 12 named sites and can be downloaded via USB to CSV files and export to Excel for further analysis. Compact, rugged and reliable, the PORTAFLOW range has been


designed to provide sustained performance in industrial environments with the New cross correlation flow measurement system providing improved accuracy for flow and measurement audits of old and often challenging pipework in existing installations.
