FERNOX LAUNCHES NEW PRODUCT SELECTOR TOOL FOR ITS EXPANDING RENEWABLES RANGE
L
eading water treatment manufacturer Fernox, is pleased to announce the launch of its new
Renewables Product Selector, designed to provide a fast, easy-to-use single source tool for professionals working with renewable heating systems. Streamlining the product selection process, Fernox’s new Renewables Product Selector tool is user-friendly and intuitive making it easier than ever for heating professionals and engineers to find the right renewables water treatment product for their specific requirements. Available on the manufacturer’s
website, users simply provide the project details using the multiple- choice prompts, such the type of heating emitters, the size of the system being treated, and the level of frost protection required. Based on the provided criteria, the intelligent online tool provides instant access to Fernox’s water treatment recommendations and product information for each. Plus, users can also request the results are emailed to a chosen address for future reference. As renewable systems grow in popularity, the new tool provides installers with a valuable resource to
identify the most suitable Fernox products for each project, so that heating systems operate efficiently and reliably, ultimately saving on energy consumption and reducing utility bills for householders. Speaking on the latest launch, Mike Skivington, UK & Ireland Sales Director at Fernox commented:
“We’re delighted to add this useful resource to our website. We recognise the unique issues that low temperature renewable heating systems present and the growing choice of products that are available to address them. As such, we were keen to provide heating professionals with a product selection tool that is helpful, yet quick and easy to use to identify the products that are designed to preserve the health and longevity of renewable heating systems.” The latest development from Fernox joins an expanding line-up of water treatment products and solutions for heating installers and engineers working on renewable systems, which includes the award- winning heat pump filter – the TF1 Sigma HP, Antifreeze Valves and a range of transfer fluids and cleaners.

The Fine Detail of Special Needs Support
humiditysolutions.co.uk
he “outstanding” Highfurlong School is demonstrating its excellence via the attention to detail in its new extension: even the ventilation has been chosen to support specific pupil needs.
Rated Ofsted outstanding four times and claiming to be the UK’s best school,
Highfurlong has three times the number of students it had five years ago. With Highfurlong’s building at full capacity, Blackpool Council has invested £6m in a new two storey extension and enclosed linkway to enable an increase of places for special needs pupils within the borough, avoiding having to send pupils out of area. Building services consultants Beech Jackson chose diffusers from Gilberts Blackpool to ventilate the internal space, carefully selected to minimise their operating impact on the children and avoid potential triggers such as draughts or noise. As a result, high induction multi-nozzle (Series MN) diffusers are the
predominant means of supplying fresh air into the classrooms and specialist subject suites, complimented by linear slot diffusers (GSLS) and perforated face diffusers (Series PG) with transfer grilles (Series NV) to maintain compliant air movement. Key features of Gilberts’ MN diffusers are the operational quietness, smoothness of entrainment of high volumes of fresh air and directional adjustability: each of the nozzles within each diffuser can be individually rotated. Beech Jackson specified the inclusion of cord operated dampers on the plenum spigot to further ensure an ideal learning environment for the pupils, enabling teaching staff to control the diffuser depending on individual requirements throughout the day. Explained Beech Jackson’s Dan Lewis, “The quietness and adjustability of the
MN nozzles were major influencing factors in their specification for Highfurlong: noise and draughts can be major influencing factors on pupil behaviour. We have a long-standing relationship with Gilberts, and know we can rely on the quality of product and service.” Cllr Mark Smith, Blackpool Council’s Cabinet Member for Economy and Built
Environment, said: “Expanding Highfurlong School is a real success story for using local labour. Not only is it increasing key school spaces for Blackpool young people. Our lead architects and main contractors are both from within 20 miles of the school, while we’re using local sub-contractors like Gilberts, to ensure that our investment is spent locally, supporting local jobs and people.” Founded some six decades ago, today family-owned Gilberts’ 140,000 ft2 head office and manufacturing facility includes its own research and development and test facilities, enabling it to continue to evolve its product range and develop bespoke solutions for specific client requirements. Gilberts is now acknowledged as the UK’s leading independent air movement specialist, offering mechanical, natural and hybrid ventilation solutions.
