Gilberts is taking its reputation to new heights with its new Series 60 smoke evacuation damper range. Believed to be the only vent of its kind


designed and manufactured in the UK, Series 60 offers what Gilberts claims will the biggest standard range of EN135013 compliant firetested dampers. The initial launch provides seven sizes, from 440mm x 440mm up to 1000mm x 1125mm, and all CE marked to EN121018; further sizes in just 1mm increments will follow. Series 60 combines a low leakage rate


and high free area when open to deliver high smoke evacuation rates. Activation (by powered motor) is triggered to open the

damper on the fire floor for smoke evacuation, whilst all other dampers failsafe close to protect the rest of the building. The damper will give 120 minutes’ fire integrity. Manufactured


from galvanised steel with intumescent material and gaskets within, Series 60 has passed all relevant smoke and fire tests (EN12631, EN13632), retaining its integrity and performance when incorporated into evacuation shafts and risers.

Caspian UV fan convectors achieved a much more efficient heating system. Each classroom was fitted with a Caspian UV fan convector mounted on the ceiling and controlled by a wireless room thermostat to provide individual control for each classroom. The 2 main corridors previously had 5 large castiron radiators each which took up much of the wall space and these were each replaced with a single Caspian UV fan convector which now provides uniform heat along the length of the corridors.

The enhanced FLIR MR277 includes features needed to identify, diagnose, fix and document moisture and building envelope problems. The FLIR Lepton® thermal imaging sensor powers IGM, visually guiding users straight to the source of building related issues. Once a problem is located, the builtin pinless sensor enables quick, non invasive moisture detection. Inspectors can then streamline diagnosis and documentation by using the builtin Bluetooth® to connect via METERLiNK® to mobile devices running the FLIR Tools® mobile app. The FLIR MR277 features a

They have released extra space for school activities and taken away the risk of children being burned by the high surface temperature of the old radiators. The hall is used for many different activities, so it is important to be able to heat the space quickly when it’s needed.

S


platform comes as standard with built in M Bus, ModBus, Power over Ethernet (PoE) and a digital input. The small footprint of the hardware makes it perfect for residential applications with the inclusion of PoE for when a standard power source is not an option.


The multiprotocol hardware


supports a maximum of four drivers per device (one instance of each driver), those drivers can include MQTT, REST, Synapsys ViQ and BIC and many more. SIP2 is


available in 100, 300 and 600 point variants ensuring users have a range of options available to suit the application. SIP2 hardware is easy to install


and commission, with a small footprint and access to Synapsys’ library of SIPeasy files, which can be easily converted using the company’s free to download SIPeasy conversion tool from the SIPintegrator support website. Learn more:

these gases are facing increasing restrictions under the FGas Regulation. PARASOL Zenith modules are


more efficient in operation than fan coil units and almost completely silent thanks to their innovative design. This is based around the principle of allowing positive pressure to build up inside the plenum chamber, which allows the air to flow out at high speed in small jet streams. This, in turn, generates negative pressure inside the unit that draws in room air through induction. The room air passes through a heat exchanger, where it is either cooled or heated as required. The mixed air is then


distributed across the ceiling via aerodynamic outlets and the ‘Coand effect’ ensures that the room is supplied silently with tempered, fresh air at the correct temperature and without draughts. With such high performance from a compact unit, it is possible to free up ceiling space and minimise impact on the interior décor. PARASOL Zenith is available


with a hingedown heat exchanger to simplify cleaning. It is also possible to disassemble the heat exchanger completely for projects where particularly high levels of system hygiene are required. To learn more please contact Swegon.
