GRUNDFOS
Following the earlier introduction of the CR 185 and CR 215 pumps, Grundfos has now added the new CR 255 pump, with fl ow range capacities up to 240 m3/h, 280m3/h, and 320m3/h respectively.
The new hydraulic design improves everything from impeller and guide vanes to inlet, discharge port, sleeve, and diff user, taking current energy effi ciency and performance standards for vertical multi-stage in-line pumps to the next level. The new CR range delivers world class reliability, with pumps that are tested to the absolute limits and beyond to off er optimised operating economy via enhanced hydraulic effi ciency, reduced downtime and lower operating costs.
Grundfos uses state-of-the-art tools to design its CR pumps, including computer simulations of pump operating conditions to verify and validate pump components.
CR pumps are ideal for water supply, water treatment and almost any industrial solution. The modular approach means every part of the pump can be tailored to requirements.

KINGSPAN
A modular and onsite building services specifi cation featuring Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe insulation and insulated pipe support inserts has been delivered at N06 in East Village in the former London 2012 Athletes’ Village. Work on the Get Living development used next generation High Rise Solutions (HRS)— an off site sub-assembly construction method designed to deliver improvements in effi ciency, quality and waste reduction. Level 2 BIM was implemented from the outset. Kingspan Kooltherm pipe insulation and insulated pipe support inserts were specifi ed for a range of low temperature hot water (LTHW) and boosted cold water system (BCWS) pipework within the modules, and as part of the onsite specifi cation from commercial insulation. Damien McMullan from Alternative Heat said: “The development uses a district heating system, so it was essential to keep heat losses to a minimum. The combination of Kingspan Kooltherm pipe insulation and insulated pipe support inserts allowed us to easily meet these requirements across the diff erent pipe diameters.”

CIAT
High effi ciency CIAT heat pumps have been chosen to power a major 8.8MW river-source renewable energy project in the South of England to help produce more fruit. Based on fi ve HYDROCIAT water-source heat pumps, the system harnesses thermal energy from the River Loddon, a tributary of the Thames, reducing the fruit grower’s carbon footprint and extending the growing season for its berry production business.
The CIAT units are arranged in a cascade design and provide heating for 110,000m2 of soft fruit crops produced by grower Hall Hunter Partnership. The additional renewable heating means fruit can be produced weeks earlier while reducing carbon emissions. The plant is expected to save 44,000 tonnes of carbon emissions in 20 years. Steve Ward, of installer Ebtech Energy Systems, said: “The CIAT range is very wide and the equipment highly energy-effi cient and reliable. The cost per unit of heating delivered is very attractive, which helps reduce payback.”

MIKROFILL
Mikrofi ll’s Extreme 300 and 500 litre models have been installed at the King’s School in Cheshire.
King’s School is one of England’s oldest independent schools, with a history stretching back fi ve centuries. The school has recently re-located to a £60m Vinci Construction development in rural Cheshire. In a design build format, mechanical services contractor, A&B Engineering incorporated the use of numerous Extreme hot water loading cylinders by Mikrofi ll. Two pairs of the WRAS approved stainless steel cylinders serve a multitude of hot water requirements including the sports building, kitchens, classrooms and café area. The Extreme 300 & 500 litre models both produce the same instantaneous performance in excess of 2,000 l/hr at 60°C. In addition the loading cylinders maximise condensing boiler effi ciency by operating at Delta t 30°C (80/50°C). Installed on a sealed system, each Extreme was accompanied by a 6 bar unvented kit.

CODAIR
Condair’s steam humidifi ers are playing a vital role in maintaining the craftsmanship involved in the production of Steinway’s pianos.
Steinway & Sons recently refurbished its London showroom in Marylebone and needed to create the optimum environmental conditions to prevent the wood used to craft these precision instruments from warping. Condair’s resistive steam (RS) humidifi ers were specifi ed and then installed in three rooms in the building, including the basement where the workshop is situated. All the units are feeding steam into air handling units to maintain the vital humidity levels required. Steinway’s UK managing director, Craig Terry, explained: “Dryness is the enemy of pianos. We need 40% to 50% humidity all the time to protect the wood, whether they’re in the showroom or the workshop.” The Condair RS humidifi er range has models off ering maximum outputs from 5 to 160kg/h. The humidifi er delivers accurate control without the expense of plastic disposable boiling cylinders, simplifying maintenance and keeping downtime to a minimum.

TOSHIBA
A Toshiba VRF air conditioning system with heat recovery is providing a high-quality, stable indoor environment for staff at a new NHS COVID-19 testing facility in the South West of England. The M&E project, headed by contractor Totus, involved the transformation of a 5,000m2 industrial warehouse into a modern, high- tech laboratory with administration offi ces. The fast-track project, part of the national testing programme, was completed in under 12 weeks. The building services for the centre were designed to meet specifi c laboratory requirements in the timescale available. The ventilation system meets the requirements of Containment 2 (CL2) laboratory classifi cation, providing 10 changes of air per hour. The Toshiba SHRM-e heat recovery system provides cooling and heating for the laboratories, offi ces and staff welfare areas. Toshiba VRF condensing units are also used in conjunction with third-party air handling units to provide high- effi ciency, direct expansion (DX) capabilities, with a total heating and cooling capacity of 1.3MW.
