More sense ventilation with Nuaire’s iSense-Plus dMEV fan


T


he new iSense-Plus from Nuaire, part of the Genuit group, is a decentralised mechanical extract


ventilation (dMEV) fan designed to provide Building Regulations compliant continuous background extract ventilation for new build residential properties. iSense-Plus has been introduced by


Nuaire as a cost effective alternative to whole house mechanical extract ventilation (MEV) systems. Instead of working on a whole house basis, these compact, unobtrusive fans are individually installed in wet rooms, including bathrooms and kitchens, extracting moisture laden air from the areas most in need. They feature an adjustable internal humidistat, and intelligent run-on timer to operate to the users’ lifestyle via ‘auto’ mode or can be fully adjustable. As you would expect from Nuaire,


the new iSense-Plus dMEV has been designed for straightforward installation. It can be fitted to walls and ceilings for maximum design flexibility. It is available with wall and in-room installation kits which provide the installer with all the necessary parts – including ducting and eternal grilles – to complete the dMEV installation. A digital control makes for easy set-up and commissioning, which ensures accuracy and helps reduce labour costs. For the resident, iSense-Plus dMEV makes for a more comfortable home environment where damp air


is extracted and mould is prevented from forming, all without them noticing thanks to the fan’s quiet running and filterless design. A built-in energy saving mechanism also ensures a highly cost effective operation, which sees the Specific Fan Power (SFP) operate at levels as low as 0.13 w/l/s. iSense-Plus dMEV has been designed and built to achieve the ventilation rates as set out in Part F and


L Building Regulations. It is listed on the SAP10 database and comes with a five year warranty for peace of mind.


Established in 1966, and based in Caerphilly, Nuaire designs and manufactures practical solutions for


all ventilation requirements across the domestic, commercial and industrial construction sectors. For further information, please contact enquiries@nuaire.co.uk or visit www.nuaire.co.uk/product- list-page/isense

Scolmore expands USB-C socket outlet range


he proliferation of connected devices


continues and with it the need for fast, convenient charging. With USB-C becoming more popular and taking over from the original Type A charging port, Scolmore has expanded its USB-C product range. Already offering a


13A 2 gang switched safety shutter socket outlet with integrated Type A & Type C USB ports, the company has now added a new, 1 gang version to complete the range. The 13A 1 gang switched safety shutter socket outlet with Type A & C USB (4A shared) has been


designed to enhance and further expand the Click USB socket offering, with 1 gang & 2 gang socket outlets with Type A & C ports now available across the Click wiring accessories ranges. The safety shutters contained within the 1 and 2 gang socket outlets with integrated Type A & Type C


USB offer increased security and reassurance. All three pins of a UK BS Standard plug must be inserted to release the locking mechanism to allow the safety shutters to open. At the same time, Scolmore has added new Type A & C New Media modules. The dual USB module 2A


Type A and 3A Type C modules are available in black, grey and white. Type C USB is the connector of the future and is already available on a number of devices. Type C


USB is small and discrete. It is reversible and can be plugged in either upwards or downwards with no risk of damage. The USB Type A connector is one of the earliest and most recognizable USB connectors. It has been the standard USB port on computers and laptops for many years. It’s designed to connect various peripherals and devices to a host device. The Click 1 and 2 gang Type A & C USB socket outlets are available in the following ranges – Deco, Deco+, Define, Definity Complete, Mode, Part M, Polar and Metal Clad.

Adveco MSS Cylinder Range For Heat Pump Based DHW Applications


H


ot water specialist Adveco introduces the next generation of MSS


cylinders for heat pump based DHW projects in commercial buildings. MSS is a specialised range of premium carbon steel primary system vessels designed to serve a diverse range of water and space heating applications which require an inertia tank or energy storage vessel. The MSS range offers ten models from 300 litre to 5000 litre capacity. Each vessel features multiple large, high- capacity connections as standard at high and low levels. These tappings enable the tanks to be used with multiple return flow temperatures or multiple heat sources, such as renewables or low- and high- grade heaters. This makes MSS vessels ideal for hot water applications using heat pumps operating at lower temperatures as greater flow is needed to raise the kilowatts of the system. MSS also features additional connections at mid-level providing greater versatility to cater for a


wide range of system applications. Designed with a low maximum height (1.87m to 2.265m with insulation) MSS despite its larger volume is easier to install in plantrooms, especially those with limited clearance. The vessels also lend themselves to incorporation into packaged plant rooms to leverage the advantages of offsite construction, which include production oversight for improved system quality and rapid delivery to install times. Due to the lower vessel height, MSS incorporates three internal baffle plates to improve thermal separation within the vessel itself. The MSS range is suitable for use with standard working pressures of up to 6 bar. For projects requiring higher pressure, such as multi-storey buildings with basement plant rooms, 10 bar versions are available on request in all sizes. All MSS vessels support working temperatures of up to 95°C. Multiple sensor pockets at all levels provide straightforward integration of controls or BMS sensors.


An inspection/clean-out flange allows for ease of service or maintenance. 100mm removable insulation is supplied with every vessel and Adveco can provide optional ancillaries including control and overheat thermostats, automatic air vents, and gauges. The versatility of MSS with its multiple large capacity connections means that it is capable of meeting


the large majority of system requirements, whether for DHW, central heating or cooling, negating the need for bespoke cylinder manufacture which is both more expensive and time-consuming. For projects specifying larger energy storage vessels MSS offers everything you need at a ready-to-go price.
