Advertorial WHAT’S NEW SPONSORED BY Grundfos – the comprehensive endsuction pump solution provider


rundfos Pumps are a proven reliable, innovative, end suction pump manufacturer. In their 40 years of


delivering these specific pump models, they have introduced many improvements that have enhanced both the product lineup and its application span that today includes water supply, industrial pressure boosting, industrial liquid transfer, HVAC and irrigation. With their enviable reputation the Grundfos NB(E), NGK(E), NK(E), NKG(E) ranges are manufactured in ISO 9001 certified facilities, and todays range comprises of a complete series of closecoupled (NB/NBE family) and longcoupled (NK/NKE family) pumps that are


compliant with EN733 or ISO2858. All are non selfpriming single stage, centrifugal pumps with axial suction port, radial discharge port and horizontal shaft.


The back pull out design facilitates the


removal of the motor, coupling, bearing bracket (NK/NKG) and impeller without disturbing the pump housing or pipework. This simplifies maintenance and enables servicing, of even the largest pumps, by a single person with a crane. So, when you need an endsuction pump


that has reliability, flexibility, energy efficiency and that can work in a wide range of demanding environments  often


L Luceco LED wisdom


uceco has recently launched the Leren, a contemporary and stylish linear LED pendant luminaire.


Leren, meaning universal wisdom and learning, offers both upward and downward light distribution providing an enhanced overall lit environment, particularly where there are high or open ceiling voids to illuminate. As with other luminaires from


Luceco, Leren offers over 50,000 hours of operational life with no maintenance, available as DALI dimmable and with emergency backup variants. Supplied complete with adjustable wire suspensions, Leren provides a 60% down and 40% up light distribution and is at home in any environment where lighting needs to be brought closer to a task area or


the working surface, such as desks. Suitable for many commercial applications such as board rooms and offices, Leren also benefits other environments such as libraries and educational establishments.

to Lot 21 of the directive and radiant heaters Lot 20. Minimum efficiencies for warm air is now 72% and radiant heaters is now 74%. Crucially, these minimum criteria are applicable for both new installations and when replacing existing products. As a result, customers can be assured that the heating equipment they are purchasing is highly energy efficient and emissions of harmful environmental pollutants are constrained. Our ErP compliant range includes,

The units are available with a wide range of heat outputs and cooling capacities. The units are available as non condensing heaters with thermal efficiencies above 91% or fully condensing heaters


with thermal efficiencies of 102% (ncv). The design combines high thermal


efficiency, quality components and ease of maintenance for enhanced life expectancy and reduced life cycle costs. The PREEVA EC range incorporates an EC


plug fan, which provides a wide range of air duties and external static pressures. The addition of the optional mixing box enables air filtration. For more information email erp@nortek.com or visit:

entilation manufacturer, Nuaire has developed a new carbon filtration technology to simplify the way designers keep air pollution out of the


home: IAQVALVE. Increased road traffic now accounts for up to 65% of urban environmental pollution, which research suggests claims an estimated 40,000 lives each year in the UK. Annual mean levels of NO near busy roads regularly breach legal levels, and as a result, people living in homes nearby are at risk of developing asthma, lung cancer, heart disease and dementia. Nuaire’s IAQVALVE is a unique style of filtration


that combines a standard supply air valve with a carbon filter. This combination is designed to simplify


the control of air pollutants entering the home by utilising a standard MVHR supply valve that is part of a ducted ventilation system. With no requirement for an access hatch, specification and design are straightforward, and all the homeowner will see is a discrete, white ceiling valve. Small but powerful, the carbon filter valve is


capable of capturing up to 91% of NO and other harmful pollutants. The carbon media held inside a cartridge is microporous and has a much larger surface area than its external dimensions suggest. A spoonful of activated carbon equates to the surface of a football field.

iega, the global manufacturer of piping systems has introduced its Smartpress press connections to the UK. The newly


redesigned system provides a quicker and more reliable method for connecting multi layer composite pipe (MLCP). The German engineered stainless steel and


gunmetal Smartpress connectors are suitable for a wide range of domestic and commercial applications including drinking water and heating installations. The innovative Smartpress system replaces


the traditional Oring construction with a robust and durable Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) support structure that also simplifies the


installation process. There is no need to widen, deburr or calibrate the pipe, simply cut to the correct length, slide the fitting into place and press the connection. This provides up to a 30% time saving onsite when compared with alternative systems. In addition, Smartpress has also been designed to help maintain water pressure within the system. The deflectors in the Viega Smartpress connectors feature flowoptimised geometries and the construction achieves minimal cross section reductions. Therefore the fittings have very low resistance coefficients (zeta values) and as such reduce pressure loss by up to 80% when compared with standard designs.


38 BUILDING SERVICES & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER MAY 2018 A


s the majority of building services projects are still making reference to old, withdrawn, legacy pipework specifications, there is a significant


risk of poor quality, noncompliant products being used. If not properly controlled, such legacy pipework specifications can also become embedded within BIM files. BISPA (Building and Industrial Services Pipework


Academy) was specifically established to raise the awareness of pipeworkrelated installation issues, specifications, innovations and BIM, through CIBSE accredited training courses and workshops. BISPA offers a Free Pipework Specification Review


Service to ensure that the correct standards are being referenced within your projects. With locations throughout the country, and with the opening of our new dedicated training pod at the Building Centre, London, it’s easy to access BISPA experts and our range of pipework training CPD’s. Alternatively, our experts can come to your offices


or sites.

responsible for turning buildings into smart buildings. SIP+ provides full visibility in accessing the data within your buildings plant and systems; for example, you can view an energy dashboard, transfer data to an analytics provider or connect numerous field drivers and thirdparty drivers to each other within the same multiprotocol platform. The list continues as SIP+ can


connect to an enterprise level system or tenant billing system.


What’s more, SIP+ seamlessly supports up to 16 SIPslice devices and other products by utilising the DIN rail BUS system. Andy Thorn, Sales Director for


Synapsys Solutions said: “SIP+ is vital in optimising buildings and reducing energy. The hardware allows you to connect, select and go, it’s that simple. Current SIP customers, can continue to enjoy simplicity but benefit from all of the protocols and solutions which are supported by our existing SIP devices.”

in advance of IE4, providing another 2% to 7% efficiency improvement. Most importantly, the Tango range offers an innovative replacement for traditional full duty standby pump configurations in that the optional blanking plate enables ongoing


single pump operation during servicing and maintenance, with automatic optimisation of energy efficiency. The actual capacity of a single pump is far greater than expected (2 x 5hp motors with one motor operating and one shut down, for example, delivers 82.5% of capacity rather than 50%). This means that highly costeffective and efficient parallel pumping configurations can be specified and installed, avoiding the increased financial outlay and space requirements associated with traditional full duty standby.
