BSEE Advertorial L


eading British ventilation manufacturer VentAxia welcomes the latest joint report


by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) and the Royal College of Physicians on the health impact of indoor air quality (IAQ) on children and young people. The report, ‘The inside story: Health effects of indoor air quality on children and young people’, published on 28 January 2020, explains that there is growing evidence that respiratory problems among children may be exacerbated by indoor air pollution in homes, schools and nurseries.


report, involving a systematic review of 221 studies, shows evidence linking indoor air pollution to a number of childhood health problems, including: asthma, wheezing, conjunctivitis, dermatitis, and eczema. Within the report sources of indoor air pollution are cited as including smoking, damp, the burning of fossil fuels and wood, dust, chemicals from building materials, furnishings, aerosol sprays, and cleaning products. The document also warns that IAQ


tends to be worse in low quality housing where properties are poorly ventilated. Report recommendations


include that local authorities should have the power to require improvements in local authority schools and houses where air quality fails to meet minimum standards. For further information on all

features models offering heating capacities from 80 kW right up to 670 kW completes the Daikin ‘Bluevolution’ range of products – all of which are available with R 32 refrigerant in coolingonly and free cooling modes. R32 is an increasingly popular


option for specifiers as it has a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675, which is only one third of the commonly used refrigerant R410A. This is in line with Daikin Applied’s philosophy of working to continually reduce the environmental impact of cooling, heating and refrigeration products built on its expertise as a manufacturer of both refrigerants and equipment. Daikin Applied was the first


company in the world to introduce R32 into split air conditioners in 2012, and has since expanded the range to include commercial air conditioners and heat pumps. As of June last year, it had sold over 84 million R32 units in more than 70 countries. R32 falls into the refrigerant


class A2L as it also has low flammability characteristics making it safe for use in a wide range of applications including chilled water systems. As a single component refrigerant, R32 is also easier to reclaim and reuse, which is another environmental factor in its favour.

Choice Daikin believes in offering the heating and cooling markets a wide choice of refrigerants to meet specific project needs and, therefore, continues to offer products optimised for fluorinated (HFC, HFO) gases as well as non fluorinated alternatives (ammonia, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons). This allows specifiers and engineers the freedom to design the most appropriate solution for each application. The new Daikin R32 heat


pump series will be available in two efficiency versions (Silver and Gold), which can be combined with three acoustic configurations

due to the intuitive setup and navigation whilst the wizard and wiring check on first startup provides a quick, guided and error free installation and commissioning via the free UCS software. This new 3 phase power analyser is particularly suited to the measurement of main electrical variables, voltage, current harmonic distortions, measures active and reactive energy, apparent energy and load operating hours.

Reduces Installation Time, Commissioning and Troubleshooting Costs


ontrols and Automation specialist, Carlo Gavazzi has extended their product


(Standard, Low and Reduced) providing full customisation to meet projectspecific requirements. A key focus for the designers


of the Bluevolution heat pump units was reducing running costs by achieving an impressive coefficient of performance (COP) of up to 3.5 at nominal conditions along with a seasonal energy efficiency rating (SEER) of up to 4.7 in cooling mode and 3.9 for heating. The R32 series is also fully


compatible with the Daikin on Site cloudbased platform, which provides remote monitoring, system optimisation and


preventive maintenance for the longterm benefit and peace of mind of the end user. It also comes with Master/Slave


functionality as standard, allowing the controls system to manage up to four units without the need for external control devices. For more complex installations,


such as a higher number of units, peripheral controls etc., Daikin can offer an Intelligent Chiller Manager option. This allows energy optimisation of the system and, when necessary, full customisation of the controls for a specific installation.
