IN FOCUS Carbon facts C
arbon steel is an alloy of #steel, with carbon being the main alloying element. This particular steel is characterised by a carbon content of up to 2 %, with comparatively low amounts of the more expensive elements such as nickel and chromium. This makes c-steel pipes and fittings an
economically attractive choice. Piping specialist SANHA offers two time-tested systems made from carbon steel: SANHA®-Therm comes
with EPDM sealing rings, while the Industry series sports red FKM o rings for heavy duty installations. Both piping systems consist of press fittings and pipes from 15 to 108 mm. They are produced in
SANHA’s own factories in Europe and offer an excellent solution for all closed systems such as heating or solar, cooling water, compressed air or sprinklers. The variant “Contiflo” offers galvanised system pipes which are characterised by being easy to bend. The practical, time-saving C-steel system is furthermore available as a silicone free version or free of paint wetting substances for highly demanding applications such as the automotive industry.

Advertorial U-Tube Radiant Heater
ombat Heating Solutions, Europe’s leading developer and manufacturer of energy efficient radiant and warm air heating systems, introduce you to U-Tube radiant heat configuration as part of their radiant tube heating range.
The U-Tube radiant heater has reduced wiring costs due to the proximity of the fan to the burner. Additional heater features include effective deep-dish aluminium reflectors (stainless steel optional)
and durable, heat-treated aluminised tube. This negative pressure unitary heater offers adaptable designs with linear, double linear or u-tube configurations. These radiant heaters can be designed with multiple burners per pump to help reduce installation time and cost. The U-tube radiant heater has reduced wiring costs due to the proximity of the fan to the burner. The double linear radiant heater has reduced building penetrations due to a single fan.
With a wide range of burner inputs and tube lengths, complete low-intensity, unitary radiant heaters
can be ideal for vehicle service centres, auto body repair shops, manufacturing facilities and offer flexibility for hot spot hating applications where only small areas of a building require direct heat. The combination is gentle even heat results in one of the most efficient and effective gas-fired, low intensity, Radiant Heating systems in the industry today. The main benefits include, longer life provided by durable components such as heat-treated aluminised
tubing, easy installation with quick fix coupling and suitability for most applications due to a wide range of burner inputs and tube lengths, as well as no wasted heat, high efficiency aluminium reflector, fast response times and longer life heat treated tubing. Visit our website to find out more.

Modernise Installations For Greater Gains
A
rchitects, specifiers, and contractors all have a common goal in modern construction –
to find products that make projects quicker, safer, cheaper, and greener wherever possible. The Fast Trak prefabricated building
services suspension system, by Gripple, is the epitome of Modern Methods of Construction. From its sustainable manufacturing process through to time saved during installation and BREAM credentials, this system encapsulates all that is modern and does not compromise on quality, safety or performance.
Why Choose A Prefabricated Solution? Traditional threaded rod and strut systems come with a myriad of complexities, which begin with the delivery on site, the standard 3 metre lengths are cumbersome and require preparation on site, which in turn requires paperwork associated with a hot works permit when cutting to length. Whereas the Fast Trak solution comes packed neatly in easy to carry boxes in a choice of 14 prefabricated lengths, negating the need for specialised delivery vehicles or hot works permits.
Why it’s safer, easier and faster to install The Fast Trak trapeze bracket solution is widely used for the installation of electrical containment, pipework, rectangular ductwork and other mechanical services, and is particularly suited for use in restricted spaces. It boasts a channel bracket which is four-sided with suspension points on every face, meaning multiple
sources can be attached in any direction and can be multi-tired when required. In addition, there is a suspension point guide, providing faster and safer alignment of brackets giving a mess free, stress-free installation solution. Advancements made to the track include a new ladder style design, this allows brackets to be installed
in increments of 10mm meaning specified heights can be kept with minimal effort, also enabling the tiering of brackets, to increase the number of services per run. The new manufacturing technologies developed by Gripple mean that the ladder track is now curved and can be snapped or bent providing a neat and tidy finish with minimal to zero waste all while delivering increased track rigidity and load ratings.

Panasonic’s Advanced Updates to PACi Water Heat Exchanger R32 Inverter
P
anasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions has increased its ground-breaking PACi Water Heat Exchanger R32 Inverter’s maximum water outlet temperature to 55°C for medium temperature applications and ensures reliable performance at -20 in heating mode. The unit is available in capacities between
20kW – 25kW. To ensure optimum performance, the inlet and outlet water ports have been swapped to allow for the
55°C flow. Furthermore, thanks to its split design, the heat exchanger can be located within the building, which avoids the need to use a glycol antifreeze and therefore maintains efficiency. As well as being ideal for small commercial spaces such as retail projects and offices, the PACi Water
Heat Exchanger R32 Inverter is now also suitable for residential installations and offers a flexible, space- saving unit at only 205mm in depth. The unit also has two installation options: floor-standing and wall- mounted, depending on the user’s needs. The wall-mounted solution is ideal for environments where space is minimal, saving valuable floor area. For more information on Panasonic’s efficient, cost-saving and space-saving PACi Water Heat Exchanger R32 Inverter, please visit our website.
