Ideal Heating launches pod; a heating interface unit designed to support the uk’s roll out of heat networks


POD transfers the thermal energy from


the heat network to the heating and hot water systems in dwellings and has a compact, space saving design. The unit comes in two models:

It utilises Zigbee technology – one of the most widely adopted smart home communication protocols. Zigbee certified devices require the Click Smart+ Hub and communicate with each other using a mesh network which creates multiple pathways for the connection of multiple smart home devices without compromising signal and communication range. A key benefit of Zigbee and the new Click Smart+ range is that there is no requirement for a signal repeater, as all the hard wired devices have repeaters built in. Installation is simple and flexible, with no additional cables or wall cutting required, making it ideal for existing or newly constructed buildings. The bespoke Click Smart+ App gives householders


ultimate control of the smart devices, which can also be operated through voice control in conjunction with a smart speaker. The range comprises the Smart Gateway Hub –


the control centre of all Zigbee connected devices, one­gang and two­gang smart sockets, a plug­in smart socket, switching and dimming receivers, camera, PIR sensor, window, and door sensor, plus a temperature and humidity sensor.

he UK’s leading manufacturer of commercial heating solutions, Ideal Heating, has today announced the launch of a new Heat Interface Unit (HIU) designed to support the growth of energy efficient heat networks in the UK. POD is a heat interface unit, designed for use in centralised heat networks, which are forecast meet around 20% of the demand for heating and hot water in buildings by 2050. Heat networks can be as large as a whole city or as small as a block of flats and offer the opportunity for increased efficiency and reduced emissions by generating thermal energy collectively. They can be powered by a range of heat sources such as gas boilers, heat pumps, Combined Heat and Power engines, biomass or waste heat from industrial or commercial processes. The POD HIU provides a flexible solution


T


for new build homes, social housing and retrofitting legacy housing stock, because there is no need for flue routes or gas connections to individual properties and the building fabric can usually remain largely unchanged.


• POD Indirect is a twin plate appliance to provide complete separation from the heat network for both heating and hot water. Available in nominal hot water outputs of 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70kW, with 5kW for heating. • POD Direct is a single plate appliance, enabling heat from the network directly into the heating system of a dwelling. Hot water is provided indirectly in nominal outputs of 30, 40, 50 & 60kW. Darren Finley, Chief Commercial Officer ­


Commercial Products at Ideal Heating, said: “With gas boilers in new build homes banned from 2025, forward­thinking developers are looking for energy efficient alternatives. POD can be used in large district networks, which may cover several connected buildings, or smaller community networks, which may only incorporate a single multi­occupancy building. “They are easy to maintain and service


and heat networks can realise lower emissions, greater efficiency and therefore lower bills, effectively futureproofing a development for both those running and inhabiting it.” Heat networks are energy agnostic, so


are not reliant on traditional fuel types, and will be an important element in the range of efficient heating solutions we’ll need to employ to achieve net zero.

Panasonic introduces revolutionary Adaptive Ducted Units to VRF range


anasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions introduces the Adaptive Ducted F3 range for its VRF systems, designed for retail, hotel and office applications. The range features a new vertical mounting option and a choice of rear or bottom air inlet, increasing fitting possibilities. This, and a choice of 12 capacities, from 1.5 kW – 16 kW, provides very flexible options for installers.


P


Outstanding design and flexible installation The Adaptive Ducted Units come in a compact design for the ultimate space­saving solution, with a height of just 250mm and ranges in weight from 26kg to 42kg, making it well adapted for projects requiring a more discreet fit. Although small, the design still allows for a powerful 150 Pa External Static Pressure, and optimal airflow set­up is possible depending on ducting design and conditions. It also features two integrated R32 refrigerant leak detectors for security. In addition, the unit’s design permits a smooth airflow, which helps to


achieve an incredibly low noise operation down to a market­leading 20dBA, whilst still maintaining powerful pressure and therefore resulting in quiet comfort for users. Smart sensors control Discharge Air Temperature for precise room temperature control and provide the possibility to reduce cold draughts during heating operation. A series highlight is the industry­leading introduction of both


horizontal and vertical installation options, which enables discrete placement outside the room even if a small ceiling limits space for ductwork – the unit’s drain pan is conveniently suitable for both horizontal and vertical installations. The range also allows for selectable rear or bottom air inlet thanks to its adjustable panels. The series includes a more powerful high­lift, built­in drain pump that allows drain piping to be elevated up to 701mm from the base of the unit.


Superior air quality: 24/7 protection with nanoe™ X The entire series has Panasonic’s maintenance­free nanoe™ X technology (Generator Mark 2 = 9,6 trillion Hydroxyl Radicals/sec) built­ in as standard. This innovative technology produces hydroxyl radicals (also known as OH radicals), which are abundant in nature and have the capacity to inhibit certain pollutants, viruses, and bacteria to clean and deodorise hard surfaces and soft furnishings, improving protection 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to ensure a pleasant environment for all. The technology is ideal for a wide range of applications, with nanoe™ X having a proven effect against odours in large spaces.

eading manufacturer of commercial heating products, ELCO Heating Solutions, has introduced a new CIBSE­approved CPD module, adding to its highly popular learning programme. The new CPD introduces


heat pump technology and focusses on how to effectively apply it to commercial projects. The module has been carefully designed to allow building services engineers to review the use of high efficiency heat pumps and maximise their potential, while it also addresses key considerations for the design stage of a project. By reviewing the basic principles governing the vapour compression cycle and its inherent limitations, the CPD outlines how best to apply heat pump technology to a system. The presentation also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of commonly used refrigerants, while evaluating example schematics for new and


existing commercial heating systems, with and without domestic hot water preparation. Commenting on the new CPD,


Mark Ferris, UK Specification Manager, said: “Due to climate change and essential government directives, the reasons to utilise heat pump technology in commercial applications have become more compelling than ever. As an established manufacturer of heating technology, ELCO is able to highlight the inherent benefits of this renewable technology, as well as reflect on how to utilise it alongside modern condensing boilers, if required.


www.elco.co.uk Fieldpiece Instruments launches


three new vacuum pumps that are lighter and faster


instruments for HVACR professionals, today announced a new generation of vacuum pumps that are small, lightweight, portable, and allow fast, timesaving vacuum evacuation to make the HVACR professional’s job easier and more efficient.


F


The new Fieldpiece pumps include three different CFM models that can be used in a variety of applications. The Fieldpiece top­of­the­line VPX7EU pump is the lightest of the three new pumps due to a patent­ pending manufacturing process resulting in a pump that is lightweight and manageable for the pro to carry. HVACR pros can choose the vacuum pump that is best suited for them depending on the system and pump feature preference. The VPX7EU and the VP87EU have the option of 120v or 230v, while the VP67EU has dual voltage. Model VPX7EU is a fast and efficient 10 CFM DC Motor and is perfect for large commercial and refrigeration applications. The patent­pending interior EPO coating, which is a high­ energy surface treatment to high strength aluminum alloy, makes the VPX7EU pump portable enough to climb up a ladder or move to other areas where needed.
