BSEE ATAG Commercial’s XL Series excels in a range of applications
Advertorial WHAT’S NEW SPONSORED BY A
TAG Commercial’s XL Series range of highly efficient gas‐fired boilers not only boasts impressive levels of performance, high quality and reliable engineering – it is also complemented by an extensive selection of modular installation and cascade options.
XL boilers are quick and simple to install, with multiple boiler sizes and configurations possible. This ensures that
no matter how much space there is in a plant room, a suitable boiler configuration is always available. With options for wall mounted in‐line, free standing in‐line and back‐to‐back arrangements, the ATAG XL boiler
can be fitted in a wide range of modular installations. Indeed, modular installations from two to eight boilers are possible, simply by combining together the appropriately sized components required to connect either two or three units. Furthermore, XL boilers are equipped with connections for flue gas and air inlet (parallel tubes), allowing for both open and room sealed arrangements. An open system cascade sees the boilers’ combustion air taken from the ventilated plant room via a separate air filter, with the flue discharge connected together via a cascade header.

Sontay introduces Bacnet compatible wireless receiver
ontay, the expert in field control devices, is making seamless integration with Building Management Systems (BMS) easier and quicker with the launch of the RF‐RXS‐B SonNet Wireless BACnet Receiver. The receiver automatically maps data from SonNet end devices into BACnet objects, which are transmitted via the vendor independent BACnet IP communication protocol. The receiver collects data from all other devices on the wireless network, including measurements from sensors, link quality, battery levels, current status and more. There is also an easy to use web browser interface that can be used to configure the RF‐RXS‐B receiver. The receivers can be used in conjunction with the Sontay RF‐ IOM radio input/output modules, RF‐RR powered routers and RF‐RS battery powered sensors. Battery powered sensors
S communicate directly
with the receiver, but if the signal strength of is not sufficient for reliable communications; routers can be used to connect the signal to the receiver. Sensors and routers will automatically find the best path back to the receiver, with data being transmitted in configurable time intervals, or configurable change in measured value. The receiver can support up to 16 directly
connected devices, with a maximum of 12 being battery powered end devices. For further information, contact

New Fan Coil Unit selection tool speeds up project quotes for installers and designers
A
new simple web‐based quick selection tool developed by CIAT promises
to speed up selection and produce fast and accurate project quotes for installers and designers. It is built on an optimised web‐
based tool that can be used on a PC, laptop, tablet or smart phone. It is fully automated and removes the manual labour from what has traditionally been a complicated and time‐consuming task. As one of Europe's leading names in cooling, heating, and indoor air quality, CIAT’s product portfolio includes four different ranges: Coadis, Melody, Comfort and Majorline. These units provide up to six different chassis sizes by range and many model capacity sizes in each range.
In addition, units can be dressed in a number of ways and come with the option of standard or high efficiency EC fan, standard filter or EPURE filter to improve the indoor air quality, as well as several plenum and valve options. There’s also a selection of choices for the controls. The system takes the installer step‐by‐
step through the process: uThe user finds the type of fan coil required ‐ whether ducted, chassis, cassette and so on ‐ and then chooses from 2‐pipe indoor, 4‐pipe indoor or 2‐pipe with electric heat. uPower settings and static pressures can be varied, as required, enabling precise specification of units. FCUs can also be selected on the basis of capacity (kW) or, if there are noise sensitivities on a project, on sound power rating. uThe tool shows capacities in terms of cooling ‐ including sensible ‐ and heating,

Prices are shown for all models, variants and sizes. uIf the user needs comprehensive data on a particular unit, there is a download button under each model reference, providing a full data sheet on the specific unit, which can be used in the wider project design and as supporting technical information in a tender. At the end of the process, the user prints
off a summary and quote for the selected units. They can also enter a discount code, if applicable, to deliver a final price. For more information, the CIAT web‐

Lochinvar launches app‐based smart boiler control
gas‐fired condensing boilers. The Con‐X‐us™ system enables users to
B
connect their smart devices, including phones and tablets, to the on‐board boiler controls so they can monitor and adjust the system operation and heating parameters from anywhere in the world. Con‐X‐us is an ancillary option, which can be
ordered and fitted to the boiler before despatch, or retrofitted on site. The app is free to download and is suitable for iPhone or Android devices. There are no ongoing costs and it provides full control over the boiler with email or text alerts keeping users connected and updated 24/7. Operation of the device is via touch screen
technology or by typing in specific information to remotely adjust set points, outdoor reset curves, pump controls and many other functions. It can also be adjusted to allow temporary
access to other users for maintenance or after sales support so that any operational
oiler and water heater manufacturer Lochinvar has launched a ‘smart’ app‐ based controller for its Herald range of
problems can be resolved as quickly as possible. The system can also be configured by the main user to allow up to three extra service personnel to receive e‐ mail or text alerts. Con‐X‐us™ uses
colour‐coded status alerts to indicate if the boiler needs attention or servicing. It describes any potential problem and offers a solution. “Smart technology
really comes into its own in this kind of application,” said Lochinvar managing director David Pepper. “Our app reduces service and repair costs and avoids potential system downtime by acting as an early warning system. “It also enables continual monitoring so the user can adjust settings at any time of day or
48 BUILDING SERVICES & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER SEPTEMBER 2017
rchitects are often confronted with the seemingly impossible
problem of ensuring indoor air quality meets acceptable standards, but without using ventilation equipment that spoils the building’s interior design. Dan Jones, of Air Diffusion, Swegon Air Management, believes he has the answer. One of the biggest issues
confronting the building services industry is the battle to maintain good air quality inside buildings without using equipment that is unsightly or noisy. This is a key consideration in any conversation with an architect whose concerns are, not surprisingly, to maintain the aesthetic quality of their design and not upset interior sightlines. However, as a result of
growing problems from urban pollution, building owners and operators are increasingly concerned about the impact of airborne contaminants on tenants and staff. Therefore, adequate ventilation is a major preoccupation for design teams and being able to balance healthy conditions with a discreet design is something of a ‘Holy Grail’. So, at Air Diffusion we are seeing a dramatic increase in demand for our FlowBar range of high capacity linear slot diffusers. These are designed to
combine a very high air handling capacity with maximum flexibility and subtlety. They are suitable for either ceiling or sidewall applications fitting discreetly into a stylish interior to provide both practical and aesthetic benefits.
Sleek
night from wherever they are. This means the heating system will always run efficiently and respond to any change in user requirements or operating conditions.”

The discrete and stylish look of these diffusers allows them to blend into a design so they can be almost invisible, if required, or can become part of the interior design by providing sleek lines in walls or ceilings. As a result, they have received a warm reception from both architects and interior designers as a piece of equipment that blends into the overall design. FlowBar is available in straight lines or curves to blend with other architectural elements and
enhance the overall concept of the project while also ensuring the occupied internal space is adequately and efficiently ventilated. Integral pattern controllers
are between 300 and 600mm in length allowing the airstream to be directed left and right for horizontal and vertical airflow. Standard slot sizes are 25mm, 38mm and 51mm with single section lengths available up to 2400mm. The standard finish on these
products is a polyester powder coating and there are a number of different models available including: The FlowBar High Throw (HT) Series, which is primarily designed for ceiling applications and allows the air diffuser to become inconspicuous, whilst fully integrating into the ceiling system. Surface mounted and plaster frame styles are available as standard with other frame and border options available on request.
The FlowBar Jet Throw (JT) series offers wing blades to allow the airstream to be jetted in a horizontal direction (sidewall mounted) whilst fully integrating into the wall system. Jet throw blades allow extended throws in typical high bay applications for heated and/or cooled air. These are particularly useful along perimeter walls where heated air can be directed downward. Standard slot sizes are 25mm, 38mm and 51mm with single section lengths available up to 2400mm. Factory engineered plenum
boxes can be provided with all models to ensure trouble free installation and ensure the performance levels outlined in the catalogue are met. The flexible, modular design means they can be configured in a wide variety of lengths and slot depths to fit in with an interior design. This is a product that naturally lends itself to bespoke solutions, which means the ventilation industry is able to live up to the exacting standards and deliver the best of both worlds – something of an architect’s dream.
