Riello offers premix burners up to 3MW


R


iello RX premix packaged burners are available in outputs up to 3MW, offering NOx levels of less than 40mg/kWh, with high turndown ratios of up to 8:1, across a wide range of models. Riello RX burners feature an exclusive design that includes a patented woven wire gauze


‘sock’ covering the combustion head cylinder. Gas and combustion air are mixed upstream of the combustion head and then pass through precision-located ports and the gauze ‘sock’ to ignite on the external surface of the combustion head. This arrangement enables a very compact flame with a diameter directly related to the burner firing rate, ensuring precise heat control and optimum efficiency at all loads. The high turndown makes RX burners ideal for systems with variable heat loads where low NOx levels


are also required. These range from condensing boilers through to process applications such as spray booths and industrial ovens. RX burners can be used in conjunction with variable speed drive motors to reduce electricity consumption and lower noise levels even further than the typical 30% noise reduction compared to many other combustion applications. Control options include progressive two-stage operation and fully modulating via 0-10V or 4-20 mA. Full electronic control with operational and diagnostic display is also available.

Panasonic Exhibiting at PHEX Shows 2022


anasonic is excited to announce that they will be exhibiting at the PHEX Show’s in both Manchester (5-6th October) and again in London (16-17th November) to showcase their highly energy efficient, low carbon heating


and cooling solutions to heating and plumbing professionals. The PHEX shows have become a popular event in the industry calendar with professionals in heating and plumbing to connect manufacturers and suppliers with installers and contractors at unique UK sporting venues. The PHEX shows for 2022 will be taking place at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester on 5th and 6th October and then again at Stamford Bridge Stadium, London on 16th and 17th November 2022. Visitors will find Panasonic on Stand 1A in Manchester and Stand 8 in London, showcasing its latest


range of highly efficient low carbon solutions including its wide range of Aquarea Heat Pumps for both residential and commercial use. The company will also be sharing its latest smart building technological innovations and smart building tools which make specifying, installing and maintaining its heating, cooling and hot water systems as simple as possible. With consumer demand for heat pumps at an all-time high, Panasonic recently partnered with Drayton by Schneider Electric to offer its Wiser room-by-room heating control system. Seamlessly integrating with Panasonic Aquarea Air Source Heat Pumps and the Aquarea Smart Cloud and Service Cloud apps, the Wiser system provides an additional element of energy control and simple home automation. Richard Bishop, Head of Marketing for Panasonic, commented: “These PHEX events are a great opportunity for us to talk directly to those in the industry looking for efficient, practical and reliable heating and cooling systems. The PHEX Show’s are all about making connections, sharing ideas as well as practical knowledge.” Free to visit, the PHEX show features manufacturers and suppliers from the heating and plumbing


sector who will be showcasing their latest products and innovations to visitors to help improve energy efficiency and save money through effective building services. Technical experts from Panasonic will be available throughout the show, providing in-depth industry knowledge and helpful information for building professionals and the wider supply chain, in addition to being able to book relevant training courses at the show. Panasonic is a world leader in heating and cooling, with over 60 years in the industry. The company


invests heavily in R&D to develop new solutions to advance the market, with a huge emphasis on environmental impact, hence the investment in emerging low carbon technologies such as air source heat pumps. Panasonic’s Aquarea range of low carbon solutions offer the peak of comfort, efficiency and low energy costs.

One-Stop Shop for Strand Solutions


S


trand Hardware has introduced new products to its panic and emergency hardware range to provide customers with a one-stop shop for complete solutions to key products. Armoured door loops, power supply units (PSU) and PSU batteries to provide battery back-up


are now available to purchase alongside the Strand Antipanic Motorised Touch Bar range. Until now, Strand Hardware customers have needed to source these items from other suppliers.


Being able to buy them in one place should save time and money by incorporating into existing orders, thereby reducing costs. The power supply units (PSU) are used to convert the external mains voltage, 240v into the required


voltage current to operate the motorised touch bar which is 12 – 24v DC or 12v AC. The additions have been competitively priced and meet Stand Hardware’s exacting quality standards. Said Strand Hardware Sales Director Craig Fox: “These products are useful additions to our key motorised touch bar products: the PHTM0, 55 and 57. Most businesses are currently experiencing increased costs throughout their supply chain, so it makes sense for Strand to stock items as a total solutions package and help our customers save time and money.” For more information contact: info@strandhardware.co.uk or call: 01922 639111

Brett Martin to cut buildings’ carbon footprint with products based on used cooking oil with ISCC certified product


alled Marlon BioPlus, the new sheet offers a major carbon footprint reduction by cutting the use of fossil-based material by 70%. This raw material delivers an 84% decrease in carbon emissions and in


addition Brett Martin achieves further reductions in carbon by producing the sheet using 100% renewable energy, generated at its own site. Marlon BioPlus has already achieved International Sustainability &


Carbon accreditation with ISCC Plus certification. ISCC PLUS is a globally recognised sustainability certification program for bio-based and bio-circular (recycled) raw materials with a focus on the traceability of raw materials within the supply chain. What makes Marlon BioPlus unique is the combination of this certification and Brett Martin’s 100% onsite renewable energy which together represents a huge step towards a zero-carbon polycarbonate sheet. As the UK’s largest producer of polycarbonate roofing and facades Brett Martin supplies high profile


projects as diverse as London’s Royal College of Art or Manchester’s Old Trafford stadium as well as a wide range of commercial and industrial buildings. This new low carbon alternative retains all the physical and performance properties of the company’s


other Polycarbonate ranges and will be available to be specified in any Brett Martin’s Marlon polycarbonate multiwall, corrugated or flat sheets for use in roofs and walls. Employing over 1,000 people in total and with sales of £220million, Brett Martin is already one of Europe’s largest plastic sheet producers for the construction industry, and the new range is expected to create strong demand from a construction market eager to reduce its environmental impact. Brett Martin Director, Paul Martin said: “The drive for sustainable, carbon neutral plastic materials


is progressing well, and our launch of Marlon BioPlus is the latest milestone in our journey to that end. Our extensive investment in renewable energy at our Mallusk site is unique in our industry and an important part of our plan. We extrude the sheet using energy generated from our own wind turbine and dedicated solar farm at Mallusk.” “This development of this new product reflects the newest technology in the plastic industry to introduce bio-based material. The process, known as mass-balancing, certifies the input of the material through the production system, similar to the way renewable energy enters the power grid. Importantly, the material is a recycled source and therefore the bio-based content does not compete with food production. “And because the substitution occurs at the earliest stage of the resin production process, all the


visual and mechanical properties of the finished sheet remain completely unchanged. So, we anticipate strong demand for the product which is soon to be available to the market globally and we will begin to see it being used in all kinds of buildings soon,” he adds.
