IN FOCUS PAROC RELEASES THE TI INDUSTRY


GUIDE PROVIDING BEST PRACTICES FOR INDUSTRIAL INSULATION


I P


AROC, one of the leading manufacturers of energy-efficient and fire safe insulation solutions of stonewool, has launched a TI (Technical Insulation) Industry Guide to provide a complete overview of the need for, and benefit of, modern insulation solutions for industrial applications, plus an online


calculation tool to help installers identify the right insulation for each project (PAROC Calculus). The Guide is designed to help asset-owners, specifiers and installers address increasing requirements for reduced energy consumption and cost efficiencies, with the help of the right insulation. A recent EiiF Study (based on analyzing 2500 TIP-CHECKs) has found that most industrial insulation


systems are outdated. Upgrading to the latest insulation solutions can, therefore, significantly improve energy efficiency, installation lifetime, and reduce the risk of Corrosion under Insulation — which is behind 40-60% of pipework maintenance costs. However, there are numerous insulation options available on the market, which makes it difficult to


decide which is the right solution for each installation. This Guide aims to simplify this process by providing key information on best practices and the National and International Standards that insulation should adhere to, as well as the technical features of different products. It also discusses what different solutions suit various applications including pipe elbows, turbines, tanks, industrial chimneys, flue ducts, and boilers. “The cheapest energy is what you don’t consume and that’s why choosing the right insulation is a critical


decision having major influence on maintenance costs, energy losses, equipment lifetime, and more. Selecting the best solution, with a range of options to adapt to different applications, can enable you to amortize your investment in insulation in only 12 months – considering the recent increase in energy costs” explains Rune Hagensen, Product and Program Manager Technical Insulation - Industry. Alongside best practices and technical information, the TI Industry Guide also provides insights into the


varying priorities that should be considered in different industries, from thermal and sound insulation to fire protection. It also covers how insulation can be a vital support in combatting climate change and helping an organisation become carbon-neutral.

RINNAI’S LATEST CPD STUDIES THE SIGNIFICANT CARBON AND EXPENDITURE SAVINGS THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED BY REDUCING TRADITIONAL STORAGE


R


innai has released its latest CPD, ‘Carbon and Economic Benefits of Zero Storage in Hot Water Systems’ with all details on www. rinnaiuk.com. Rinnai’s latest CPD demonstrates carbon and


cost savings achieved through investing in hydrogen blend ready and BioLPG ready continuous flow hot water heaters. Recent media attention has been directed towards the issue of


rising energy and living costs. Rinnai is continuously working to produce completely reliable products that benefit the customer in terms of performance, finance, and convenience. Rinnai’s instantaneous hot water systems have been rigorously analysed and found to offer significant savings in five key areas, when compared to traditional storage systems:


Operational costs; Capital cost; Carbon footprint; Space and weight.


Approximate savings achieved by replacing a traditional storage- based system with a commercial Rinnai continuous flow hot water system amount to:


15-20% of the running cost, 30% of the upfront cost, 15-20% in carbon footprint, 60% in space, 80% in weight.


These cost and carbon savings calculations can be measured in a formula divided into 3 main steps that produce reliable and accountable results. The first step collects and processes data from previous real-life projects. This data is used to understand more about peak loading conditions and usage patterns. The second step sizes the system according to the loading. The third step is used to calculate the CAPEX, OPEX, Carbon Emissions, Efficiency, Energy, Performance, Plant Space, and weight.


Rinnai is a registered provider of CPD courses with both CPD


UK and CIBSE. All courses are designed to facilitate a better technical understanding of low carbon heating, hot water delivery systems. Rinnai’s CPD courses are simply found by keying in “training” into the Rinnai website search area, located at the top left side of the opening webpage. All CPD’s are free to all.


Rinnai CPD’s will increase knowledge, skill and expertise as


well as providing an insight into the current energy market and how continuous flow technologies actively assist in customer cost and carbon reductions. Rinnai is a world leading manufacturer of hot water heaters


and produces over 2 million units a year. The company operates on each of the 5 continents and the brand has gained an established reputation for high performance, robust cost efficiency and extended working lives. Rinnai’s commercial and domestic hot water products offer


a limitless supply of instantaneous temperature controlled hot water at temperatures over 60 degrees C which performs as a disinfectant on all known bacteria. All new Rinnai units are designed to align with present and future energy sources and accept either natural gas or hydrogen gas blends. Rinnai units are also suited for off-grid customers who require LPG, BioLPG and rDME. Rinnai units are UKCA certified, A-rated water efficiency, accessed through multiple fuel options and are available for purchase 24/7, 365 days a year. Any unit can be delivered to any UK site within 24 hours. System design services are available if needed and cost comparison services are accessible to all customers who require further cost detail. Rinnai is committed to decarbonisation. Rinnai’s water heating products are all hydrogen-blends ready NOW and can use BioLPG capable of delivering NetZero carbon emissions. Rinnai offer comprehensive training courses and technical support in all aspects of the water heating industry. More information can be found on Rinnai’s website and its “Help Me Choose” webpage.

Versatile: 7 facts about solder fittings


n many areas, installers today rely on press connections, which can be made quickly and reliably. However, solder fittings are still used time and again and, in some areas such as food, medical gases or high-pressure applications, are the superior technology. By soldering the solder fitting to the pipe


using heat or a soldering agent, a pipeline becomes permanently tight. As a specialist in piping systems, SANHA offers not just one but several series of copper solder fittings. Series 4000 and 5000 for hard and soft soldering can be used for a multitude of purposes. From drinking


water to gas installations, from cooling water to solar systems, both series offer plumbers a wide range of options. With RefHP® – yes, this stands for “refrigeration, high pressure”, Captain Obvious! -, the manufacturer


is one of the select few companies to provide solder fittings for transcritical systems such as cooling and refrigeration in supermarkets, groceries or server rooms. RefHP® fittngs are suited for all copper pipes currently available and can be used for operating pressures of up to 130 bar. The piping system was introduced to provide an economic, fast and reliable alternative to welded


steel piping, especially where traditional harmful refrigerantes were and are phased out in favour of CO2, subsequently requiring the piping system to withstand higher pressure. Find out more about solder fittings in general and how we can help:
