DAB Pumps unveils new ESYTANK line-up for seamless pressure boosting


F


or installers looking for a compact, dedicated water tank to pair with the EsyBox Mini3, DAB has delivered. The


new EsyTank 300 Mini brings purpose-built potable water storage to smaller domestic and light commercial pressure-boosting jobs – without compromising on performance. Designed to store and supply water in


residential settings, the original EsyTank 500 was a hit with users of the EsyBox, with its EsyDock for quick installation and its modular design that allowed additional tanks to be added on three sides. But until now, there has not been a dedicated tank for the EsyBox Mini3, leaving installers with fewer options when specifying compact pressure-boosting systems. That changes with the release of the EsyTank 300 Mini. Smaller in height than the EsyTank 500,


the EsyTank 300 can be used with both the EsyBox and the EsyBox Mini3, storing drinking water and boosting mains pressure for taps, showers, garden use and household appliances. It fits easily through smaller doors like those leading to cellars, and comes with all the accessories required for fast installation. It has a rectangular base for compact siting, a filling valve with float, overflow and the option for remote monitoring via DAB’s DConnect platform (allowing installers to check system performance and receive alerts from anywhere). It comes in both a CAT 3 and CAT 5 version, which has an AB-type air gap system with auxiliary DN50 outlet to prevent contamination of the water supply. The launch of the EsyTank 300 Mini completes the EsyTank family, giving installers a compact,


dedicated option for the EsyBox Mini3 without compromising on performance or flexibility. Whether boosting pressure in a home or tackling tight plantroom spaces, having a dedicated storage tank adds resilience and flexibility; water is available on demand, even during periods of peak use, and pumps run efficiently without short cycling. With compatibility now extended for both the EsyBox and EsyBox Mini3, specifying a complete, mains-boosting solution has never been simpler.

provides invaluable advice on surveying the modern plant room


New Ideal Heating Commercial CPD T


he latest CIBSE-approved CPD from Ideal Heating Commercial – the UK’s market leader of high efficiency commercial heating


solutions – is focussed firmly on the modern plant room. It addresses plant room surveying, along with the evolution of the plant room and heat source technology over recent years brought about, in part, through legislation and product innovation. ‘Surveying the modern plant room - from boilers


to heat pumps’ CPD provides invaluable advice on the various stages involved in surveying a plant room; from assessment and the requirements for a replacement heat source, through to the potential risks associated with heating system replacement and how to identify these. With Ideal Heating Commercial pioneering practical solutions for decarbonising commercial heating,


the new CPD concentrates on modern, energy-efficient plant room retrofits using heat pumps. Hybrid systems, which include heat pumps with modern condensing gas boilers as a back-up, are also addressed as an alternative solution where heat pumps alone are not feasible. The new CPD also looks at latest legislation and regulations, and touches on best practice when


commissioning. This new CPD, ‘Surveying the modern plant room - from boilers to heat pumps,’ is suitable for all


levels of mechanical engineers from graduate through to senior, director and associate, sustainability engineers, building services engineers, engineering technicians, incorporated engineers, chartered engineers and YEN Young Engineers, as well as building contractors and consultants. Commenting on the release of the new CPD, Richard Brown, Head of Specification at Ideal Heating Commercial, said: “With the heating industry undergoing change as we move towards decarbonisation, how we approach and survey a plant room must also be modified. Our new CPD addresses the requirement to decarbonise heating systems and improve energy efficiency from an understanding that, in many circumstances, heat pumps alone may not be viable, and we may need to consider a hybrid approach. The CPD helps engineers to look at the overall plant room and decide upon the most effective approach.” This latest CIBSE-approved CPD joins Ideal Heating Commercial’s expanding collection of educational


resources, which cover the latest industry developments and provides advice on new ways to add value, performance and efficiency to customer heating projects. Further CPDs address low carbon systems, heat networks and heat interface units, heat pump refrigerants, and boiler heat exchanger materials.
