WHAT’S NEW


Systemair introduces a new generation of AHU air filters capable of neutralising viruses


of Science and Technology Systemair, a global Swedish ventilation


D


company, and Deltrian, a leading Belgian filter manufacturer, have joined forces to launch a new generation of virucidal filters for air handling units (AHUs). The DELTRI+ filters are Eurovent Certified and contain advanced plasma technology capable of neutralising or destroying 99% of all viruses, including SARS­ CoV­2, as tested by the Luxembourg Institute


eltri+ technology significantly reduces biological aerosols, including SARS­CoV­ 2, as tested by the Luxembourg Institute


of Science and Technology and an independent laboratory. The filters are already available in most of Europe and many other markets worldwide. With DELTRI+, building owners can quickly


improve existing units before considering more extensive upgrades to their ventilation systems. Compared with other methods utilised for virus prevention, the DELTRI+ filters offer a more straightforward solution that is easy to apply and manage. Furthermore, for facility managers, the filters enable additional safety when exchanged.

New training manager joins Unitherm


in Exeter – has announced the arrival of training manager for the Unitherm Training Centre ­ Steve Rhodes. Steve has worked within the renewables industry since 2008 when he worked as a training officer and helped develop and launch the first level 3 national qualification award heat pump course within the UK – and later became training manager. In 2012 he started his own renewables business as a training provider and MCS Consultant before in 2015 working as a Project Manager for heat pump installations. Unitherm Heating Systems has made a huge


T


investment in providing a training centre at its base in Exeter that is a step up from the majority of training centres across the UK with the aim of providing a relaxed learning environment for those attending courses there. Unitherm is committed to boosting the numbers of installers in the UK capable of installing air source heat pumps as the numbers of heat pumps required begins to grow, year on year.

asun Envirocare have seen a lot of interest from schools and office managers as well as medical facilities where higher occupancy rates are putting strains on existing ventilation levels for their new


range of room air purifiers. The COPPA room air purifier offers five stages of filtration as well as


real time monitoring for PM2.5 particles. Jasun Envirocare has launched the range of air purifiers this week which have been designed to protect against particulate, virus, bacteria, and volatile organic compounds (VOC). Firstly, a coarse filter layer for larger particles and secondly a fine layer


providing protection against damaging PM2.5 particles. These layers are followed by a unique woven copper layer. Copper is a proven anti­viral, anti­bacterial agent and is very effective at reducing risk. This is followed by an activated carbon layer and finally the unit has an ultraviolet (UV) plenum. The COPPA units offer automated airflow management, increasing flow when PM2.5 particles in the air exceed safe levels and reducing again when they don’t. This extends the life of the filter and makes the unit very quiet. The COPPA unit currently comes in one size which is suitable for floor footprints of up to 50m², with a new larger unit coming soon. For larger rooms we currently recommend using multiples of units.

Glowing Report for SOCOTEC’s Ground Investigation Team


for the proposed road improvement works for Sections 5 and 6 of the A465 Heads of the Valleys, a major strategic route which provide a strategic connection from central England through to South Wales. The scope of the upgrade works includes the widening of the existing route, realigning


S


highways and junctions and developing new junctions and associated highway structures such as retaining walls, embankments and cuttings. SOCOTEC provided geotechnical and geoenvironmental fieldwork and testing services


for the final 17km sections of the route improvement (Hirwaun to Dowlais Top), working in unison with Jacobs and the Welsh Government to deliver the ground investigation elements of the project and respond quickly and effectively to all identified constraints. The A645 Heads of the Valleys project involved overcoming a host of logistical


challenges posed by topography, ecological considerations, land access and existing road infrastructure. Due to the requirement to work in proximity to potential bat roosting sites, Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Local Nature Reserves and Areas of Conservation, Jacobs’ Ecological Clerk of Works worked closely with SOCOTEC to provide clearance and offer supervision of these work areas.

Features • Aesthetic, timeless design • Fast, tool­less installation thanks to spring­ loaded terminal blocks • Short response time, the sensor reacts extremely quickly to changes in temperature • Digital input, enables the connection of an external device


the new room sensors and room operating units are the perfect addition to Belimo's existing sensor range. With the expansion of the product range for visible areas of the room, the Belimo room units impress the architect with their aesthetic, timeless design with shallow depth between 13 and 22mm. Belimo offers the installer, quick installation, the system integrator, easy commissioning by a smartphone and the end customer, a comfortable room climate. The Belimo room units can be seamlessly integrated into existing controllers from third­party manufacturers.

or measuring room temperature, humidity and air quality, as well as for specifying a room temperature setpoint,


The room units feature quick, tool­free mounting, as well as high long­term stability and short reaction times. The Belimo Assistant App also guarantees simple commissioning of the active room sensors and diagnostics via smartphone. Thanks to Near Field Communication (NFC) parametrisation is possible even when the room sensor is not connected to the power supply.


Applications The active and passive room units are suitable, for example, in the following room applications: • Demand­controlled VAV • Heated/chilled ceiling • Radiator or underfloor heating
