Industries Air
Conditioning Europe (MHIAE) added a range of air-cooled heat pump chillers for the European market with the launch of Hydrolution PRO. Featuring a newly developed e-3D scroll compressor and in combination with other proprietary technologies, this new line-up delivers outstanding energy efficiency, boasting a seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) rating of 4.59. Hydrolution PRO is available in three models with capacities of 50kW/75kW/100kW classes making it ideal for air cooling/heating a broad range of applications from residential to office buildings and from industrial to IT settings. MHIAE’s outstanding engineering has successfully ensured the new line-up offers top-tier energy efficiency; the combination of its impressive SCOP rating and the minimum use of refrigerant delivers efficient heating/cooling with a low impact on the environment. Like many other MHIAE products, Hydrolution PRO runs on the R32 refrigerant (675 GWP), compared to the earlier R410A (2090 GWP), dramatically reducing GWP by approximately one-third, combined with a 43% reduction in refrigerant charge volume. Hydrolution PRO’s compressor design features an advanced e-3D scroll, which compresses both vertically and horizontally and thereby enhances efficiency during low loads. Changing the shape of the scroll, to a more compact structure, has significantly increased the efficiency of the compressor. In addition, a user-friendly remote controller enables effortless setting and adjustment, allowing up to 20 units to be managed with a single controller. To meet varying seasonal demands the controller also enables adjustment of several units in both cooling and heating. This cooling & heating mixed control can be set with a calendar function which is integrated with the remote controller, enabling the user to easily create bespoke and optimised operation. MHIAE continues to pursue leveraging its technologies and products that contribute to further energy savings and enhanced environmental performance. With its comprehensive technological capabilities derived from synergies enabled by the company’s broad operations in fields related to heating and cooling, MHIAE strives for the optimal thermal solutions that contribute to achieving carbon neutrality.

Gen-C to showcase next-level CHP control at World Biogas Expo
G
en-C, Stand G35, World Biogas Expo, NEC Birmingham, 10-11 July 2024 CHP support experts Gen-C will showcase their full range of engine control and optimisation solutions at the World Biogas Expo in July. Covering four key areas – parts, controls, upgrades, and
asset supply – Gen-C and its network of engine partners will be on hand to explain to biogas plant operators how to cut CHP downtime, increase operational efficiency and take full control of their own engine.
Instant restarts “The theme of our stand this year is ‘Take Control’,” states James Thompson, Managing Director of Gen-C. “For too long, engine owners have been at the mercy of service providers, many of whom charge high fees to maintain and repair their CHPs yet demand long wait times for engineer callouts. The irony is that many engine interruptions are caused by minor changes in the gas composition and could be easily rectified by the plant operator themselves, if only they had the ability to access and restart their own engine. Our smart control panels allow them to do exactly that, effectively ‘unlocking’ the engine to give operators full remote control over their own asset – without the need for a service provider. We’re excited to demonstrate to plant owners the benefits that this game-changing technology can bring.”
Immediate spares Alongside Gen-C’s smart control panel installations, which are delivered in conjunction with their technology partners Motortech and DSE, the company is also excited to promote its extensive range of engine parts and spares. “Since Brexit, getting access to OEM parts at
short notice has become increasingly difficult,” explains James. “But thanks to our partnerships with leading European manufacturers such as RS Motor and Motortech, we always have a wide range of engine spares in stock at our Yorkshire HQ, ready for immediate dispatch to our UK client base. We’ll be outlining to visitors to our stand the importance of having a quality UK distributor like Gen-C on speed dial to keep your engine running safely and smoothly.”

Esh Construction secures £7.3m Northumberland Energy Park contract
N
orth of England contractor to install piled
relieving slab at Ash Barge Dock. A £7.3 million scheme
that will complete the fitout of the recently widened Ash Barge Dock at Northumberland Energy Park has been awarded to Esh Construction. Northumberland Energy
Park (NEP) is the premier offshore energy base, located near the Port of Blyth. The site is part of Energy Central, the UK’s unique port-based service, investment and growth cluster for companies operating in the offshore energy and subsea markets. Working on behalf of Advance Northumberland, the scheme includes the construction of a 3,000m²
piled concrete relieving slab behind the west and north quay walls at ground level. On completion, areas of the berth will provide a safe working load of 5,300kN to make the dock serviceable for the import and export of components and finished goods. Esh Construction’s Divisional Director, Steven Garrigan, said: “The contract marks the start of a new relationship with Advance Northumberland, and we’re delighted to be bringing our expertise to this project which forms part of the wider Phase 1 enabling works plan to provide an extended and deep- water berth at the Ash Barge Dock.” The work, to be delivered by Esh’s civil engineering division, will see more than 7,000m³ of concrete
– the equivalent volume of 2.5 Olympic swimming pools - poured to replace sand and stone. A total of 183 long tubular piles will be installed to support the reinforced concrete slab. Approximately 9,000m² of concrete paving will be laid and new drainage incorporated to take surface water run-off, while the existing mooring bollards will be upgraded to increase capacity to loads of up to 100 tonnes. Neil Jukes, Head of Project Management at Advance Northumberland, said: “We are very pleased to
get North East based contractor Esh Construction on board. This is the final stage of construction works at the NEP1 Dock after which time the facility can be prepared for final operation and be brought into use in 2025. “It will serve the both the JDR Cables facility and wider Energy Park and contribute to the ongoing regeneration and job creation within the Energy Central cluster.”
