Advertorial Safe connections save time


ith the new press systems “Heavy Steel Press” and “Heavy Steel Press Gas”, thick-walled steel pipes can be pressed in a time-saving way instead of being welded. The piping systems are suitable for heating, gases, cooling and industrial applications, to name but a few.


Time savings of up to 60 % even for those not into Heavy Metal and less additional work compared to welding are good arguments for using the new press systems. Heavy Steel Press, offered by the European piping system specialist SANHA however holds unique advantages in store: Additional safety through a special design (the sealing ring has a 200 % larger surface area than usual) can save you nerves as well. While the pipe still must be cleaned, the larger contact area between sealing ring and pipe serves to seal remaining imperfections (within the tolerances of EN 10217 / EN 10255) and contributes to a permanently tight connection. Moreso, the fittings are equipped with two unique rows of bi-directional “teeth”. By gripping the


pipe, they prevent the fitting from slipping off before pressing and further increase the strength of the pipework. Overall, the robust and solid design of the zinc-nickel coated fittings in tandem with the time-proven thick-walled steel pipes leads to a long-lasting piping system and a high degree of reliability. SANHA® currently offers dimensions from ½ to 2 inches for thick-walled pipes according to EN 10220 or 10255. The operating temperature ranges from -30 to +120 °C or 20 to +80 °C for the gas version.

Hamworthy Heating helps charity to lower operational costs and reduce carbon footprint


W


hen Hull and East Yorkshire Centre for the Deaf needed a modern heating system to replace its existing boiler


which was experiencing faults, Hamworthy Heating stepped in to provide the charity with the Stratton mk3 wall-hung condensing boiler, free of charge, to help the charity to achieve maximum savings. To evaluate the heating requirements of Hull &


East Yorkshire Centre for the Deaf, a site visit was commissioned free of charge by Tucker Mechanical and Electrical Building Services. With cost being a major consideration for the charity, Tucker Mechanical and Electrical Building Services decided that the Stratton mk3 wall-hung condensing boiler system with stainless steel heat exchanger would be the best way forward in helping the charity reduce its carbon footprint and lower operational costs. The selected model delivers an output of 70kW, a gross seasonal efficiency of 95.5% and features an integral sequence controller, 5:1 turndown and quiet operation. Accessories also supplied include two frame and header kits to increase the overall output of the boiler system up to 140kW, a plate heat exchanger, pressurisation unit and an expansion vessel. Moving to the Stratton mk3 wall-hung system provides the building with a space-saving alternative to


its previous floor-standing unit. Featuring a lightweight stainless-steel design and a compact footprint, the Stratton mk3 was installed on an internal frame. This allowed space to fit pump equipment and a plate heat exchanger for hydraulic separation to preserve the internal boiler components. Tucker Mechanical and Electrical Building Services (formerly known as Neville Heating Ltd) has over


40 years of growth and experience in the mechanical and electrical services sector. Based in Hull, the company has a long and well-established relationship with Hamworthy Heating. “As a company, we only align ourselves with reputable companies which offer quality products and Hamworthy has never let us down. Always on hand to provide valuable support and advice, the Hamworthy team is reliable, efficient and always a pleasure to work with”, comments Kevin Peacock, Tucker Mechanical and Electrical Building Services. Following the upgrade, Hull and East Yorkshire Centre for the Deaf now benefits from a reliable and


energy-efficient stainless steel boiler system which has enabled the charity to reduce its carbon footprint, lower fuel bills and achieve future maintenance and servicing savings. For more information on the Stratton mk3 wall-hung condensing boiler and range of AHRI certified® plate heat exchangers, please visit or website or call 01202 662 552.

Generation Of Packaged Electric Water Heating For Commercial Projects


C


ommercial hot water specialist Adveco introduces the next generation of FUSION electric water heating for commercial projects.


FUSION-E is a tough, high-efficiency electric water heater. FUSION-T expands the system with the addition of a system-integrated heat pump and advanced controls. Both ranges can be further expanded with the addition of an electric immersion for greater reliance (FUSION-Eplus and FUSION-Tplus). FUSION is the perfect response for commercial


building projects with small to medium basin and sink-led hot water demands. Taller buildings with basement plant rooms and businesses that depend on 24/7 hot water provision for continuity of service all gain advantages from FUSION as well as reducing carbon emissions and controlling costs. FUSION starts with all new specially designed single- (ATSI) or twin-coil (ATST) corrosion-resistant stainless steel high-pressure indirect cylinders. Offering capacities from 200 to 500 litres, the cylinders feature dedicated mounting points for Adveco’s 12 or 16 kW ARDENT electric boiler. By mounting the electric boiler directly to the cylinder FUSION is a more compact, space-saving option. Supplied with pre- built pipework the latest generation of FUSION is now faster and easier to install. The electric boiler, with multiple immersions inside its sealed storage tank, provides automatically balanced usage to prolong system life and immediate resilience for the boiler. Used in a sealed ‘primary’ loop, the electric boiler heats the same water continuously effectively eliminating limescale issues typically found in electric systems used in hard water areas. For the FUSION-T renewable variants, the 6 or 10 kW monobloc air-to-water FPi-32 heat pump (ASHP)


is used as a source for system preheat. Contribution from the ASHP is maximised via the bespoke FUSION Control Box. These controls smartly balance the two heat sources, enabling the water in the cylinder to be heated in the most efficient way. As the electric boiler is not required to work as hard to raise flow temperatures to the 65°C demanded by commercial applications. Electrical demand on the boiler is reduced by as much as 30%, delivering operational savings and reducing carbon emissions by up to 71%. The FUSION-T variants are perfect for organisations seeking to invest in a water heating application as


part of a decarbonisation strategy without losing sight of higher operational costs associated with all- electric systems compared to equivalent gas-fired water heating. Where hot water demands become a business-critical service, FUSION will also support the addition of


an Adveco backup immersion providing additional resilience. Fitted into the front-facing clean-out access, the immersion ensures there is no single point of failure for assured service provision.
