Clivet presents LARICE: invisible comfort that enhances the wellbeing of your home
A
range inspired by nature, conceived for those seeking silence, efficiency and integrated design, even in small spaces
Feltre, July 2nd 2025 - LARICE is the name of the new
range of ductable fan coils by Clivet, conceived to bring
natural, silent and tailor-made comfort to any domestic environment. Four compact solutions (DUA-M1, DUE-M1, DUA-H1, DUE-H1), completely concealed in the false ceiling, inspired by the solidity and harmony of the larch, the tree that has always protected alpine homes from temperature variations and noise.
Invisible comfort, wherever you need it LARICE is the elegant and efficient answer for those who renovate or design their homes with an eye for detail and well-being. Thanks to its extremely low height (from 248 mm), it is easily installed even in low false ceilings, making it invisible to the eye but present in everyday comfort.
Silent, discreet, efficient The heart of the LARICE technology is the high-efficiency Brushless motor, which guarantees extremely quiet operation - from just 27 dB(A) - and energy savings of up to 50 % compared to conventional systems. Perfect for bedrooms, living and relax rooms, where silence is a value.
Flexible during installation, easy to manage every day LARICE has been designed also to simplify work on the building site: the internal coil can be rotated directly by the installer to adapt the position of the water connections, without changing the electrical wiring. At home, on the other hand, you can control comfort in an easy way via the Clivet Home Connect
app, which also allows you to manage it via Wi-Fi: For example, you can program the fancoil to turn on remotely before returning home to find the room already comfortable as soon as you cross the doorway. Alternatively, you can integrate the units with a domestic or professional BMS thanks to compatibility with the Modbus protocol.
LARICE HP (DUA-H1 and DUE-H1) - High static pressure version (up to 250Pa) Fan coils designed to offer authentic, natural and sustainable comfort in any environment. They are the ideal solutionfor cooling and heating small and medium areas for commercial, industrial, sports and residential use.
LARICE MP (DUA-M1 and DUE-M1) - Medium static pressure version (up to 80 Pa) Fan coils designed to offer authentic, natural and sustainable comfort in any environment. They are the ideal solution for cooling and heating small and medium areas for commercial, industrial, sports and residential use.

Coloured Connector Blocks Added to the Click Essentials Range
A
new collection of Coloured Connector Blocks has been added to Click Scolmore’s comprehensive Essentials range, offering improved safety, convenience, and functionality for electrical installations.
Commonly referred to as Service Connector Blocks, they are essential components used to split and
connect mains meter tails from the electricity meter to one or more consumer units within a building. This provides a secure and reliable connection point for power distribution in both residential and commercial areas. The new Connector Blocks are colour-coded in brown, black, grey, blue, green, and pink to allow
easy identification of phase, neutral, and earth conductors. This is useful in minimising and preventing installation errors and improve enhance on-site safety.
These coloured variants offer several key features, including: • •
Dual screw terminals for strong, stable connections.
Locking screw compatible with security tags for tamper resistance. Click-close cover for quick and secure access.
• Retained shutters provide safe blanking of unused terminals. • •
and fire-rated back boxes, the Aquip range of weatherproof outdoor switches and sockets, Metal Clad and premium Metal Clad Pro wiring accessories and Fused Mains Switches. The entire Essentials range is designed to provide contractors with high- quality, reliable solutions for everyday electrical installations. For more information

Solid Energy expands UK offering with ultra-high temperature heat pump options
L
• •
eading Danish manufacturer Solid Energy has upgraded its hydrocarbon range of ultra-high temperature modular heat pumps for the UK market, with the new line-up capable of reaching flow temperatures of 170°C.
At a launch event hosted by the Danish Embassy in London, the large heat pump specialist highlighted
the benefits of a solution aimed at customers looking to decarbonise process heat operations. Industrial process heat applications in factories, food processing and distilleries are expected to be the
main focus for the very high temperature options, while the system can also provide cooling if required. Operating on a choice of four hydrocarbon refrigerants, depending on application, the high
temperature (HT) units use the same compressor technology and other components found in Solid Energy heat pumps already delivering low temperature district heating projects.
The refrigerant options are: • •
Propane: for refrigeration and heat pump operation for heating purposes. Suitable for cooling between -30°C and 25°C, and heat output from 30°C to 65°C.
Isobutane: for heat recovery and heat pump operation for district heating and industrial process heating. Suitable for cooling between -10°C to 40°C, and with heat rejection in the range 50°C to 95°C.
Butane: for heat recovery and heat pump operation for industrial process heating and hot water. Suitable for cooling between 0°C to 50°C, and with heat output from 70°C to 120°C.
Isopentane: for heat recovery and heat pump operation for industrial process steam and hot water. Suitable for cooling between 35°C to 90°C, and with heat output from 90°C to 170°C.
The system modules range in size from 200kW to 1.2MW, and multiple modules can be linked to
give larger capacities controlled as one system. The semi-hermetic screw compressors boast a design life of 100,000 hours, requiring minimal maintenance and no oil changes, and are housed in noise- reducing cabinets for ultra-quiet operation. Designed and built in Denmark, the heat pumps are delivered fully factory tested with minimal
installation required, while integrated refrigerant leak detection and ATEX compliant ventilation ensures compliance with UK and European safety directives. Ken Kneale, Business Unit Director UK & Ireland, said: “Every Solid Energy heat pump is designed
to the specific needs of individual projects. Using our advanced performance calculator, we can select the appropriate compressor size. Depending on the operating temperature we then select the hydrocarbon refrigerants to be used. “Our design flexibility allows us to implement multiple compressors using the same refrigerant or
to select a combination of different refrigerants. This ensures that we can achieve the desired flow temperature while maximising the coefficient of performance (COP).’’ Also introduced at the embassy event was a totally new configuration of the technology, the
XL4, aimed at projects requiring high output from limited floor space. Each XL4 module has four compressors, and Solid Energy is currently working to deliver a 70MW project in Denmark. Kneale added: “The XL4 offers the same high efficiencies as our one cabinet, one compressor modular units with the benefits of needing less space and greatly reduced installation costs.” Solid Energy is working with specialist partner Pure Renewables Commercial in the UK, with the Hull-based business offering technical sales, installation, commissioning and after-sales support.
