New commercial heat pump resources from Ideal Heating include CIBSE accredited CPD
I
deal Heating – Commercial Products has released a range of new resources to assist people and organisations in their quest to transition to low carbon heat pumps. These include the new CIBSE accredited Heat Pumps – Technology and Principles CPD; the ‘Roadmap to Decarbonisation – Planning Your Journey’ white paper; plus a brochure on Ideal Heating’s own ECOMOD range of commercial heat pumps. The new CIBSE accredited CPD introduces
the technology and principles underpinning the mechanics and operation of heat pumps in commercial applications, such as thermodynamics, refrigerants, and efficiency. It looks at the different types of heat pumps available, along with their strengths and weaknesses, and how these compare with traditional gas boilers and hybrid systems. It helps installers and specifiers understand the importance of sizing heat pumps through correct specification, sizing and heat loss calculations. Market drivers, such as industry bodies and regulations, are also addressed. The hour long Heat Pumps – Technology and Principles CPD can be delivered online or in person, either at a customers’ premises or at one of Ideal Heating’s Centres of Excellence in Hull and Leeds. Visit https://
idealcommercialboilers.com/cpd-courses to book. ‘Roadmap to Decarbonisation – Planning Your Journey’ is Ideal Heating’s latest white paper and provides readers with an overview of the Government’s current net zero strategy in relation to heating and why heat pumps are fundamental to this. It addresses the challenges faced in the journey to decarbonising heating, from public mistrust in heat pumps and the lack of trained installers, to comparatively high costs when compared to gas boilers. The white paper puts forward three strategic steps to implement the transition to heat pump technology. ‘Roadmap to Decarbonisation – Planning Your Journey’ is available to download from
https://idealcommercialboilers.com/net-zero If you’re already sold on heat pumps, then Ideal Heating’s ECOMOD commercial monobloc air source heat pump brochure is the next step.

Unicrimp adds Metal Cable Cleats to Q-Fire range
U
nicrimp has added a range of Metal Cable Cleats to its growing Q-Fire portfolio of fire-rated cable accessory products. The new Metal Cable Cleats meet BS 7671 (18th Edition) requirements and are designed to
prevent cables from premature collapse during a fire and in doing so, to keep emergency services and the public safe. The 18th Edition wiring regulations stipulate that cable support systems must be constructed with materials that will withstand premature collapse caused by direct exposure to heat. There are no applications excluded – trunking, conduit and cabling fixed to surfaces of the building or attached to cable support systems must all have fire-resistant supports in place. Unicrimp’s fire-rated black Metal Cable Cleats are available in 14 different size options suitable for
cable sizes from 5mm up to 50mm. The key feature of the product is an oval fixing hole which allows for cable diameter tolerances. To install the metal cable cleat, the electrician just needs to bend the cleat around the cable and fix in place to the designated wall. For further information, contact Unicrimp on 01827 300600; email

umidity control specialist, Condair, is offering a free 10-point guide to specifying dehumidifiers. The document covers the main issues surrounding planning and installing a commercial dehumidification system. It includes information on system design, product sizing, drying
psychrometrics, energy saving and much more. Dave Marshall-George, Sales Director at Condair explains, “This guide has been produced by experts
in the field with experience spanning thousands of drying projects. It gives unbiased advice on both desiccant and condensing dehumidifiers. Written in an easy-to-follow style, the 10-point format makes it a very accessible reference tool for any HVAC consultant, installer or facilities manager. “Planning a dehumidifier project can be a complex undertaking due to all the parameters than need
to be considered. Dehumidifiers don’t just remove moisture from the air but also generate heat during the drying process. Managing an area’s humidity often involves consideration of its temperature control too, and this 10-point guide walks the reader through the psychrometrics of this, as well as strategies to deal with it.” Dave concludes. Condair’s 10-point guide to specifying dehumidifiers is available free to download from our website.
