The UDSA units are a technically advanced range of gas fired unit heaters designed to deliver outstanding energy, efficiency, performance and economy for reduced operating and life cycle costs. The heat exchanger achieves 92% (ncv) thermal efficiency reducing energy and


R


consumption and running costs. UDSA units are fitted with a high airflow axial fan for freeblowing applications with model heat outputs ranging from 11kW – 146kW. All units are available for natural gas (g20) as standard but alternatively can be specified for use on Propane (G31) For more information please visit:

tandard wastewater pumps are generally only rated for a fluid operating temperature of 40°C, occasionally a maximum of 60°C. With Zip taps becoming a common feature, handling the drainage from these sinks requires a more robust pump. Leading wastewater specialist Pump Technology has the solution. Their technical team looked at pump options to


S


match their compact DrainMinor and selected the Jung Pumpen U3K Spezial (SL). This features a mechanical seal rather than the lip shaft seal normally found with this small size of submersible pump. Originally designed for mildly aggressive fluids, it has been adopted for challenging pumping requirements. Many leading fastfood chains, report excellent performance in applications with heavy deposits of coffee granules, milk skin etc. The DrainMinor features a recyclable polyethylene


tank and provides the perfect, compact wastewater pumping solution. It also boasts an integral (replaceable) charcoal vent, and a simpletoremove lid for cleaning and maintenance, enabling easy installation and operation in tight spots. For appliances such as combi ovens, pasta makers


and dishwashers (also all needing to handle hotter water), they offer the DrainMajor with a 730HES hot water pump, suitable for 90°C Contact: Pump Technology Ltd., Tel: 0118 982 1555

Swegon encourages the industry to take fire and smoke damper maintenance seriously


O


ccupant safety is of course the highest priority when it comes to fire and smoke


prevention. However, some equipment like fire dampers is often ‘out of sight and out of mind’. By engaging with specialists to maintain fire dampers, the building and its occupants can be safeguarded. Following the Grenfell Tower


fire, the Hackitt Review called for an increase in the use of Building Information Management (BIM) to be used in the design, construction, refurbishment and operation of all new buildings. This way, it would be possible to deliver a ‘golden thread’ of information about the building and its services to ensure occupants were safe, but also that the building continued to operate efficiently with maintenance in accordance with manufacturer instruction. In reality, we are many years


away from ‘digital counterparts’ of all reallife buildings, although it is possible to see a future where BIM and connected controls systems make it possible to predict

helps facilitate the ‘golden thread’ by using its controls capability to scheduling remote damper testing at regular intervals – providing alerts should any damper need a physical visit. Of course, when lives are


potentially at stake, the remote tests should be supplemented with inspection. With our nationwide dedicated commissioning, service and maintenance team we can help the industry embrace best


practice and ensure fire dampers remain in optimum working condition for the life of the building by combining the digital testing with a suitable physical inspection program. Just one example of how

Synapsys Solutions is a new cloudbased platform designed to enable Energy Managers and FM’s to deliver energy efficiencies and optimised building performance over a long period of time. With businesses under


T


increasing pressure to reduce their energy consumption and provide environments which maximise efficiency, it is critical that we use tools such as Building Management Systems (BMS) and meter monitoring systems to their full potential. SIPinsight EBIS collects the data


provided by these types of systems, collates it and presents it in a format that enables the user to easily interpret it. Furthermore, SIPinsight EBIS enables the user to display, manipulate and analyse


the BMS and energy data in the same graphs, widgets and reports, making it easy to pinpoint and prioritise areas that require improvement. SIPinsight EBIS essentially


identifies how, when and where buildings use energy. This in turn allows the user to develop an effective control strategy, make changes and adjustments that can be tested and implemented to maximise savings, operational performance and ROI. For more information visit:
