ABM
The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically disrupted life around the world. Where surface disinfection has been the focus, good indoor air quality (IAQ) is now in the forefront of minds with restrictions fully lifted, says John McPherson, managing director, ABM UK. So how do we ensure improved IAQ? ABM established its Expert Advisory Council in partnership with leading infectious disease experts and industrial hygienists at the height of the COVID-19 crisis. The council consists of experts with backgrounds in industrial hygiene, air testing and balancing, building commissioning and engineering. Working alongside the council, we have explored three widely accepted ways to manage IAQ through our newly launched EnhancedFacility programme: ventilation to reduce the concentration of airborne contaminants inside; air cleaning and disinfection to remove or destroy these contaminants; and source control through fi ltration to prevent contaminants from getting into the facility in the fi rst place. In combination, these approaches help mitigate or minimise the factors that can impact IAQ.

CARRIER
Carrier has introduced the AquaForce Vision 30KAV with PUREtec refrigerant, a new line of high-performance, compact process cooling chillers with ultra-low GWP refrigerant R-1234ze.
The new chiller line is optimised for industrial processing such as food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, plastics, metal industries and applications requiring ultra-reliable cooling up to -12˚C. Carrier’s AquaForce Vision 30KAV air-cooled, variable-speed screw chillers can minimise energy consumption and impact on the environment while maximising performance and ease of installation and maintenance. The chiller is available in four sizes, in capacities from 280 kW to 800 kW into -4˚C/-8˚C medium temperature process cooling and from 530 kW to 1300 kW into 12/7˚C high-temperature process cooling or comfort cooling. Carrier’s William Doll said: “The new chiller delivers high seasonal energy effi ciency, a low environmental footprint, excellent reliability, safe operation and a very low total cost of ownership over its lifetime.”

BREATHING BUILDINGS
Breathing Buildings has supplied a ventilation system to a newbuild offi ce development, Oceansgate, in Plymouth.
Twenty four Breathing Buildings NVHR 900 units were installed. In addition, external weather louvres were glazed into the curtain walling system. Breathing Buildings worked with mechanical contractors Murch & Baker and the main contractor Kier Construction, to assist on the design. They carried out thermal modelling using in-house design software, 4D-Flo, and Breathing Buildings modelled the design to CIBSE Guide A / TM52 summer overheating criteria, using the typical CIBSE DSY weather fi le for Plymouth. This helped ensure a comfortable working environment as well as good IAQ. Paul Murch, director at Murch & Baker said: “The ventilation systems are providing a healthy offi ce environment, that monitors and manages CO2 levels as well as providing good IAQ and comfortable temperatures year-round.”

COMBAT
Combat Heating Solutions has introduced U-Tube radiant heat confi guration as part of its radiant tube heating range.
The U-Tube radiant heater has reduced wiring costs due to the proximity of the fan to the burner. Additional heater features include eff ective deep- dish aluminium refl ectors (stainless steel optional) and durable, heat-treated aluminised tube.
This negative pressure unitary heater off ers linear, double linear or u-tube confi gurations. These heaters can be designed with multiple burners per pump to ease. The double linear radiant heater has reduced building penetrations due to a single fan.
With a wide range of burner inputs and tube lengths, complete low- intensity, unitary radiant heaters can be ideal for vehicle service centres, auto body repair shops, manufacturing facilities and off er fl exibility where only small areas of a building require direct heat. The gentle even heat results in an effi cient and
eff ective gas-fi red, low intensity, radiant heating system.

CARLO GAVAZZI
Carlo Gavazzi has launched a range of variable frequency drives. The RVPM is designed for HVAC applications to meet the effi ciency regulations set by the standard EN14825.
Minimum energy performance requirements (MEPS) for heat pumps have demanded the use of variable speed scroll compressors to meet the required performance (SCOP, SEER) levels and well-chosen components can have a decisive impact on a product’s overall effi ciency. The RVPM is a variable frequency drive (VFD) for rotary and scroll compressors with permanent magnet (PM), brush¬less direct current (BLDC) and induction (IM) motors.
It is equipped with both a sensor-less vector control (SLVC) for PM/ BLDC compressors and a variable-voltage and frequency (V/f) control for IM compressors. Individual compressor models are pre-confi gured, and a minimal set of parameters are required resulting in an easy and fast confi guration. It is designed with either a heatsink or cold plate for heat dissipation.

CONDAIR
Condair has appointed Darren Bryant as its new area sales manager for the South East of England. Having worked at Condair for 12 years, Darren moves from his previous role of service sales manager. Darren commented: “I am very happy to have taken on the area sales manager position, across both humidifi ers and dehumidifi ers, and am now responsible for much of the south east of England, from Kent to Suff olk, including East London. I’m looking forward to getting to know our customers in these regions, and helping them improve their productivity and working environments through enhanced humidity control. It will also be great to be back in front of clients, providing CPD training, either in- house or online.”
David Marshall-George, UK sales director at Condair, commented: “It’s great to have Darren join our UK sales team. He is very experienced in all aspects of humidifi cation, and brings with him superb application knowledge from his service-related sales work at Condair.”
