Vital Energi enters peaking plants market with AMP Clean Energy Award win


ital Energi has reached a £4m agreement with AMP Clean Energy to design


and build five Urban Reserve gasfired electrical generator peaking plants across the UK, totalling 17MW of power, and with further projects planned. The peaking plants will generate flexible


electricity using gas fired gensets to provide extra resilience and capacity to the local electricity grid. The plants will come online when alternative renewable energy sources are not producing enough electricity, such as solar or wind, and at peak demand periods. The decentralised peaking plants,


utilising 2MW or 2.5MW gensets as single units, pairs or triples, are designed to both support the growth of intermittent renewables by providing ondemand


electricity to keep the system balance, and to help provide additional capacity in places of high demand, such as urban and commercial areas. Richard Byers, Vital


Energi’s Director of Green


Business, explains, “This is a new market for Vital which will see us install our largest capacity of gensets for a single client. After being selected by AMP Clean Energy through competitive tender based on our price and previous experience installing gensets, we are delighted to begin our relationship with them and look forward to seeing the projects develop.” If you’d like to know more about Vital


Energi and the work they do, please visit: www.vitalenergi.co.uk

appeal across other applications, are new illuminated blank modules which have been added to the GridPro range, as well as a new accessory plate that allows two single modules or a twin width module to be situated next to two Grid Pro switches to build a plate specific to hotel requirements. Combining the key card module with two GridPro


switch modules with neon on the hotel accessory plates provides a smart, modern and secure solution. The occupier of the room will have an internal switch furnished with etched neon indicator modules that they can switch on and off, for example ‘clean the room’/’do not disturb’. This will illuminate the corresponding module located outside the room, giving staff a clear indication of the occupant’s requirements. The illuminated blank modules are available in both red and green and available in all 11 of Scolmore’s finishes. Also new to GridPro is an illuminated switch


locator module, which provides a solution for the location of switches in the dark, such as hotel rooms during the night.

ochinvar has developed a low NOx emission version of its popular Charger direct gasfired commercial water heaters


to help contractors and end users meet air quality targets. Charger fast recovery water heaters have


been a fixture of the UK market for more than 40 years and have been used in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. As a result, there is now a growing market for replacements. Lochinvar has been developing low NOx


burners for some years to help improve air quality.


Incorporating this technology into


the new Charger units has the added benefit of helping the market meet new maximum NOx limits imposed on direct gasfired water heaters last year by the revised ErP regulations. The new Charger Low NOx range consists


of three models, with storage capacities ranging from 294 to 328 litres and hot water recovery rates from 850 to 1600 litres/hour. NOx emissions are between 33mg/kWh and 45mg/kWh depending on model – comfortably below the 56mg/kWh maximum stipulated by the new regulations.


Highest output The largest model – at almost 90kW output – will deliver 1,600 litres of hot water per hour at a temperature rise of 50ºC. This is, by some distance, the highest output water heater of its type available in the UK.


Lochinvar launches low NOx replacement water heaters Each of the three models can replace any


manufacturer’s comparable atmospheric water heaters and comes with the option of lowlevel draught diverters to ease the installation process. Charger water heaters are built using an


enamellined steel storage vessel, enabling them to operate at pressures of up to 8 bar. Each vessel includes sacrificial magnesium anodes to provide cathodic protection and the burner sits at the base of the unit. The use of baffled flue ways improves heat transfer and provides fast hot water recovery. A multifunctional control valve incorporates flame failure safety, operating thermostat and high limit thermostat. “Providing low NOx versions of some of our


most popular water heaters is essential to give contractors and end users choice and flexibility,” said Lochinvar sales director Liam Elmore. “When it comes to replacing ageing units, we will always encourage users to switch to higher efficiency condensing water heaters, but often this will not be an option. “For example, replacing the flue system can


be complicated, disruptive and expensive depending on the type or layout of the building. Therefore, often the most convenient and costeffective way to replace an old non condensing water heater is with a similar product and, by offering low NOx versions we can ensure customers also comply with ErP legislation and the UK’s wider ambition to improve air quality.”


Read the latest at: www.bsee.co.uk Lochinvar introduced a low NOx version of


its equally popular Knight range last year. Both Knight and Charger low NOx water heaters are held in stock at Lochinvar’s Banbury headquarters making delivery available to most areas of the UK within two working days.

water treatment training now CPD Approved


W


hy is it that most treated closed heating and chilled water


systems still fall foul of corrosion, scale, biocontamination and suspended solids? The answer, according to DosaFil, is the prevalence of poor or ineffective water treatment practices in the commercial and industrial HVAC industry. The company’s newly CPDapproved training aims to change that. The free technical training, which can be delivered anywhere, provides essential information to system users on how to manage and control water quality using a combination of the best available specialist conditioning equipment and chemical treatments. This includes unique training on how certain technologies and techniques can be used to remediate systems online, avoiding costly downtime and offline cleaning methods. DosaFil Ltd was established by


longtime water treatment specialist Steve Crick who was frustrated by the drawbacks inherent in traditional water treatment. DosaFil manufacturers its own range of industryfirst conditioning devices which combine chemical dosing, constant sidestream filtration, and continuous air removal. The team has over 60 years combined experience in industrial and commercial water treatment and management. Testimony to the company’s dedication to driving industry best practice, the company gained CPD accredited training status from the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) in little over two years after being incorporated. DosaFil’s certified training is


open to all CIBSE members or any individuals working in the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) sector and can help delegates to achieve continuing professional development targets. In order to offer the most flexibility, DosaFil will deliver the training at a site most convenient to the delegates, whether that is at their business


premises or at a prearranged off site location. There is no cap on the number of delegates, and the training is offered free of charge in line with DosaFil’s commitment to promoting excellence in the industry. Delegates of the course can be


confident of walking away with solid knowledge on how to practically implement and manage water treatment programs to ensure protection, optimum performance and maximum lifecycle of closed heating or chilled water systems, all while minimising water use and disruption to operating systems.
