at installed a 96-room accommodation development at the University of Bath. Working in conjunction with Adveco’s design team, LDM Building Services adjusted the design proposal to fit what was a very small plantroom space allocated for the DHW system. LDM made use of the architecture, which created a first floor overhang providing ground floor space suitable for the location of an Adveco L70 ASPH designed to provide high temperature hybrid domestic hot water (DHW). Rated 70kW for typical UK operation at 5°C but climbing to a maximum 90 kW from a single compact unit, the L70 is perfect for larger scale commercial applications such as student residences. Given the proximity to the student accommodation LDM conceived and fitted a timber acoustic enclosure and ducting to direct away airflow. This improved the already relatively quiet operation of the L70 ensuring residents would not be disturbed by operation, especially at night. Using an ASHP to generate preheat for the building’s water greater storage, necessitates the use of larger water storage to avoid system undersizing that fails to meet daily demands. Given the limited plant room space, Adveco helped specify a compact system option consisting of a MSS1000 cylinder acting as a system buffer for the ASHP and a high-grade a stainless steel SSB1000 storage buffer tank used to expand the dump load capacity of the water heating installation. A MB0050 Plate Heat Exchanger and pump kit, connected the preheat with the top-up heating. A GLC 750 glass lined indirect tank that supports working temperatures of up to 85°C and 10 bar system pressure was paired with a compact wall-hung ARDENT S36 electric boiler creating an indirect water heater. The ARDENT provides additional, sustainable electric system top-up year round ensuring consistent water temperatures that meet the safe operational demands of a commercial system, and is able to achieve temperatures as high as 80°C if faster recovery is required.

ondair has released a new podcast about how manufacturers and commercial businesses can avoid static issues impacting their productivity by proactively managing their indoor humidity. In this short interview with Business Net Explorer, Dave Marshall-George, Sales Director at
Condair, explains why static build-up occurs at low humidity, the issues it can cause in industrial and commercial situations, and how best to control it through humidification of the indoor environment. Dave comments, “Electrostatic build-up is much more prevalent as indoor relative humidity drops.
This means it can be seasonal issue for manufacturers. Indoor humidity is lowest in the winter, so manufacturers can experience increased problems of materials sticking together, being repelled by each other, or even sparks resulting from electrostatic discharge, during the colder months. A very effective way of dealing with this is to raise the indoor humidity to around 45%RH. “Studies have shown that at higher levels of indoor humidity, the static charge caused by activities,
such as walking across synthetic carpets, can be reduced by as much as 95-98%. This short podcast explains why and how manufacturers and facility managers can use humidity control as an effective anti-static measure.” The podcast is available all major podcast channels, including Soundcloud, Spotify and Google Podcast
