CASPIAN FAN CONVECTOR WITH 20% MORE HEAT OUTPUT
SMITH’S LAUNCH UPGRADED A
s part of Smith’s ongoing investment in product development, the already popular range of Caspian fan convectors have been optimised through several engineering measures. Every detail of the Caspian fan convector was analysed in the search for improvements. The result of this work is an increase in
heat output performance of 20% over the previous versions. To achieve this increase in performance Smith’s redesigned the coils, enclosing metalwork, and implemented a new fan configuration. Consequently, the size of the Caspian fan convector required to heat a specific room can be smaller. For example, where a Caspian 120 was previously required, a Caspian 90 may be suitable. This broadens the applications for Caspian, both in residential and commercial use. Consultants and contractors alike now have more options for new build and retrofit applications; especially as smaller sizes can replace larger Caspian fan convectors without a reduction in heat output. A key objective of the improvement project was to optimise Caspian for use with Heat Pumps. This upgrade in Caspian is a key part of Smith’s strategy to develop and launch products that improve their performance and reduce the use of energy and consequently the creation of harmful emissions. Electing to launch the upgraded Caspian with EC fans only contributes to the move to Net Zero, which will be an ever- greater feature of building regulations. Furthermore, improved performance and reduced embodied carbon reduces the impact buildings have over their lifetime. Additionally, if the upgraded Caspian is specified with our Smart Control system, further efficiencies and therefore energy savings can be achieved.

Cut down on SKU proliferation with just one single fitting!
ANHA® is once more introducing a helpful addition to her range. With our
new universal transition fitting, connections between thick-walled steel pipes and various other pipes like stainless steel, carbon steel and copper are an easy feat for the experienced installer.
Why should you chose this one? The new fittings are made from lead free silicon bronze (CuSi). This material is highly corrosion-resistant and durable and optimally suited to connect various metals. The fittings are available in a wide range of common dimensions, offering maximum flexibility for installers and wholesalers alike. At the same time, the premium material allows for a wide range of applications such as heating, cooling, drinking water, compressed air and many more. With two press ends – one for thickwalled steel pipes, the other for stainless steel, carbon steel and copper pipes -, new installations as well as repairs in existing buildings can be carried out in a convenient and timely manner. The connection with thick-walled steel pipes is especially durable due to two rows of bi-directional
“teeth” acting as a further stabilising factor while holding the fitting in place when it is pushed onto the pipe. A 200 % larger surface area of the sealing ring compared to traditional o rings ensures a permanently tight connection.
The press connection on the other side sports all the advantages of combipress by SANHA®: •
• •
Push & Stay for easy handling Leak path feature to help ensure that all connections have been perfectly pressed The compatibility with different tools, jaws, slings AND pipes makes this a truly universal transition fitting!

Hamworthy Heating provides Teresa Gavin House with a space saving solution
W
hen Mulalley and Co needed to update the existing boilers at its main office in Essex, a
new Wessex ModuMax mk3 system from Hamworthy Heating – a trusted British manufacturer and supplier of commercial heating and hot water products – was installed to help maximise space at Teresa Gavin House. With its previous floor standing system
taking up much of the plant room floor at Teresa Gavin House, Hamworthy proposed a system using two Wessex ModuMax mk3 floor-standing, vertically stacked modules with a total power outlet of 464kW, a new plate heat exchanger and a Chesil pressurisation unit. In line with updates to the existing building regulations Part L, a new boiler flue was also fitted as part of the new installation. The new Wessex ModuMax mk3 system offers a practical alternative to larger floor-standing alternatives. This means that Teresa Gavin House now benefits from increased floor space and improved access to its plant room. Featuring a stainless-steel design for added protection against corrosion, Mulalley and Co. can also expect to benefit from valuable cost savings on future service and maintenance intervals. Keen to stick to a brand they could trust, the new upgrade at Teresa Gavin House replaces seven
NGR floor-standing cast iron sectional boilers from Hamworthy Heating that have been in operation for nearly 30 years. Michael Danes, Mulalley and Co. comments, “Hamworthy products offer a robust and reliable solution,
backed by an exemplary service and market leading warranty. Any minor issues or questions we had during this process were handled quickly and easily by the Hamworthy team. We’re looking forward to seeing the expected benefits of the new Wessex ModuMax mk3 system at Teresa Gavin House”. Available in five modules with outputs (@80/60°C) of 97, 116, 147, 196 and 254kW, Wessex ModuMax modules can be stacked two or three high in up to 15 combinations up to 762kW output. Providing the benefits of high turndown ratios and load matching for improved efficiencies, the system delivers the right amount of heat at the right time, with little or no wastage. Following a successful upgrade, Teresa Gavin House now benefits from improved efficiencies
and increased space within its plant room. Completed in two months, building occupants are now benefitting from a reliable and efficient heating system. For more information on the Wessex ModuMax mk3 and its range of accessories, please visit www.
