LCO Heating Solutions has launched the new THISION® L ECO to bolster its light commercial range of wall mounted gas


performance and efficiency, while a flue non return valve, builtin modulating pump and onboard cascade controls ensure this new boiler is a practical fit for a wide range of commercial applications. The THISION® L ECO’s heat exchanger has a unique HEX geometry, combined with a flatbed burner, allowing it to operate at maximum efficiency while keeping NOx and CO emissions extremely low. For rapid servicing and maintenance, a specially designed internal configuration provides easy access to key components, as well as allow simple removal of the burner.

Mikrofill at Goodyers End Primary School, Warwickshire


oodyers End Primary School is a Community school that was established in 1996 following the


linking of Goodyers End First & Middle Schools. The school has a team of hardworking and committed staff who pull together to ensure that all the children receive a high quality of education. Under the umbrella of Warwickshire


County Council the decision was made to replace the existing LPHW heating plant at the school. The existing boilers and associated ancillaries were removed and replaced with new Mikrofill equipment by established Warwickshire term contractor Dodd Group Ltd. These included 3 No Ethos 90kW stainless steel condensing boilers each with an integral shunt pump providing a total modulation of 30 > 1 (270 > 9kW). Supplied with free standing support frames, Mikrovent 750 low loss header & air/dirt separator and a cascade header sensor, the new boilers supply VT


circuits around the Lower school area. The new LPHW installation was complimented with a Mikrofill 400 precommissioned pressurisation package. In addition the Upper School’s HWS supply


was further enhanced by the installation of a new Extreme 500 litre loading cylinder. The Extreme plate heat exchanger is designed to operate at a t of 30°C therefore optimising condensing boiler efficiency.

Unitrunk prepares for growth with systems accreditations


The TurboPOWER range,


Quality Assurance accreditation, along with OHSAS 18001 Health & Safety accreditation, following a year long process of preparation and audits. The certifications formalise systems that have been at the heart of Unitrunk’s business for many years, underpinning the company’s reputation for quality, customer service, environmental responsibility and safety. They will now support Unitrunk’s culture of continuous improvement through regular reviews and audits, enabling consistent best practice across the company.


C Explains Unitrunk’s operations director, Graham


Milligan: “The company’s major achievements in developing our business structure have made this the ideal time to merge our consistent best practices throughout Unitrunk. “These certifications will underpin customer


confidence in our systems and will also play an important part in succession planning for Unitrunk, ensuring all policies and processes are formalised and consistent to enable knowledge transfer from our health and safety, quality assurance and environmental managers to the whole team.” Unitrunk operates from six UK depots and the new


certifications are also intended to support consistency across all sites, with a centralised approach that is shareable across the business as it continues to grow.

he totally redesigned AHU systems are available in eleven sizes from 30 kW to 520 kW.


The CyberHandler 2 series is used for air


conditioning everything from data centers to hotels, from commercial buildings to industrial sites.


As power densities increase, a new design


factor is coming to the fore  precision air conditioning solutions. Air handling units (AHU) incorporate all the air conditioning equipment of a data center in one outdoor container, therefore creating more space for productive IT systems inside the actual server


area. STULZ introduced its first air handling system back in 2015. With the CyberHandler 2, the specialist for reliable air conditioning solutions is now launching a comprehensively redesigned successor.


The CyberHandler 2 series includes eleven


output ratings from 30 to 520 kW. It combines free cooling, adiabatic cooling and mechanical chilling in one sealed outdoor container. The choice of chilling methods includes chilled water coils, scroll compressors or a redundant DX system with external condenser. If high availability is required, a fully weather independent air conditioning system with a


high level of redundancy can be designed, and can work in mixed mode for great energy efficiency.
