CMD brings harmony to Coventry University research facilities


C Smith’s launch new


uprated version of their solano unit heater for use with heat pumps


with the both versions being suitable for use with heat pumps. The Max version features a larger heat exchanger and fan which allows it to work with lower flow temperatures and making it suitable for larger open spaces such as industrial units, factories and warehouses. The Eco version is designed for applications such as gyms, school halls, workshops and showrooms. Both versions can be mounted on the wall or ceiling and can be controlled independently or as part of a BMS system. Weighing as little as 11kg for the smallest version


S


up to only 25.5kg for the largest it is easy to install, and it is available in versions with a heat output of up to 93.9kW. There are two MIX versions which have no heat


exchanger but are designed to cause destratification of the warm air layers in larger spaces.


smithsep.co.uk Swegons grows Actionair damper family L


eading indoor climate provider Swegon have added another model to its extensive range of Actionair fire and smoke dampers. The new ThermShield fire damper is a highly sophisticated product designed to be a crucial component of fire compartmentalisation strategies in buildings. It joins the long­established ‘family’ of FireShield, SmokeShield and SmokeCommand products and means that Swegon now has the widest range of fire and smoke dampers and specialised controls available to meet the evolving needs of the UK market.


This high­performance automatic damper comes in square or


rectangular (FD) models or as a circular product (FDC). It has an insulated blade to achieve an ‘EIS’ classification and achieves the VDI6022 standard for hygiene; however, the most interesting feature is wide range of CE installation options, opening up CE multiple assembly options, and out of wall installation – giving installers greater flexibility to meet the wide variety of project demands. The ThermShield is fully compatible with the company’s Actionpac


control panels that support monitoring and maintenance of multiple dampers. When used with Actionpac the automatic ThermShield variants can react in the early stages of a fire to limit the spread of smoke. Whilst a manual damper will only close once the temperature in the ductwork reaches 72degC (therefore allowing passage of cold smoke), automatic dampers can be controlled to provide smoke compartmentalisation at lower temperatures. This is an important consideration in light of the tragic fact that 54% of deaths in fires are caused by smoke inhalation. The availability of this new product range reflects growing demand in the industry for ‘raising the bar’ in fire safety systems in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy and the UK’s move towards more onerous fire regulations recently enshrined in the new Fire Safety Bill.


“The primary motivation behind our ongoing smoke/fire research and


product development is to create systems that enable safe indoor environments,” said Andrew Collard, Smoke/Fire Director at Swegon. “This is all about providing specifiers and end users with the widest possible choice of product for the project in hand. To protect the fire integrity of a building and help owners comply with fire regulations, they must have the ability to put the right product in the right place. In this case, the new ThermShield is an ideal choice where you need installation flexibility or the next level of fire protection to meet the building evacuation requirements.”

pressed with different jaws and slings with original V and M contours in addition to SANHA’s own contour. This function is called “combipress” by the manufacturer. To be


P


precise, it summarises three important advantages of using SANHA, all designed to make installations simpler. 1. Tool compatibility: This means that up to 54 mm all original press profiles SA, V or M can be used for metal systems. For MLCP pipes and fittings, TH, B, F, H and U can be used. The benefit here is obvious – installers can use their existing tools and be safe in the knowledge that the connection will work. 2. Push and Stay: This means that during assembly of the connection, the friction within the fitting sealing ring holds the pipe in place. This is especially important when making connections over­head or on risers, which would be difficult to hold in place whilst using a press tool. 3. Leak path protected: This practical function enables installers to detect simply if connections have been left un­pressed.
