ARMSTRONG
Armstrong Fluid Technology’s mobile app brings all of the value and benefits of its Pump Manager subscription service to users of Android and iOS mobile devices. Leveraging the advanced intelligence and connectivity of Armstrong Design Envelope pumps, Pump Manager is a cloud-based service that provides pump analytics and performance insights along with alerts and notifications. The service supports Active Performance Management in HVAC systems.
“Service technicians, facility managers and operators can receive real-time alerts and performance data, wherever they are,” explains Tunji Asiwaju, global manager, cloud services with Armstrong. “Service contractors may have a service level agreement for a set retainer fee, so they can really benefit from efficiency improvements in service processes. They can check a mobile device and know immediately what issue a pump is experiencing.” The App is available in the Google Play Store and Apple Store – just search ‘Armstrong Pump Manager’.

LOCHINVAR
Lochinvar heat pump technology is being used to reduce carbon emissions at one of England’s leading universities.
Two Amicus high temperature (HT) air source heat pumps connected to three hot water storage vessels are part of a major upgrade of the domestic hot water system serving the main building of Aston University in Birmingham.
As part of an improvement programme, the university has put Lochinvar’s heat pumps at the heart of a new low carbon system and is now expecting to save more than 20,000kg of CO2 annually as a result. The heat pumps are a low carbon solution that allows the main building to operate independently of Aston’s existing district heating system and they produce flow temperatures up to 63°C. Amicus HT heat pumps use the principle of Communised Vapour Injection to improve both output and efficiency. They can be used as stand- alone replacements for heating products or as part of an integrated system.

CONDAIR
Humidity control specialist, Condair, has released a podcast about how food manufacturers can enhance their productivity by controlling their production area’s humidity.
Dave Marshall-George, sales director at Condair, explains: “Accurate humidity management in food and beverage production has many benefits. There are a huge range of applications. Humidification is frequently used to reduce evaporative losses, prevent static issues and extend shelf-life of produce. Dehumidification can be employed to more efficiently dry a product, eliminate condensation, reduce cold storage overheads or prevent products sticking to conveyors.
“We work with food and beverage manufacturers to identify areas of potential improvement across a production line, and then implement systems to maintain the ideal environment to realise those benefits.

OMNIE
OMNIE has taken both the practicality and the performance of its TorFloor panel to a new level with the introduction of TorFloor 2®. The new generation TorFloor 2® includes a 6mm thick chipboard upper panel with pre-foiled aluminium heat diffuser. Both panels feature matching routed channels to perfectly align around the 12mm water pipe, while the printed upper face clearly indicates the pipe’s position and the points where screws can be safely fixed.
This arrangement reduces the risk of the pipe runs being accidentally damaged when floor coverings are installed or replaced, while the location of the routed channels places the warm water pipes closer to the surface: delivering faster warm-up times. This design means an output of 50W/m2 can be achieved with a flow temperature of 41˚C, making TorFloor 2® suitable for coupling with OMNIE air or ground source heat pumps, while a 50˚C flow will raise the output to 84 W/m2.

HOVAL
Hoval’s new range of Belaria®fit air/water heat pumps has been designed for systems with high outputs and a high proportion of renewable energies. Belaria®fit delivers efficient heating, cooling and domestic hot water production at the same time and can be used on its own or as part of a hybrid system. Up to 16 Belaria®fit units can be combined in a cascade configuration, enabling outputs into the megawatt range. Belaria®fit is also well suited to use in a hybrid configuration, such as alongside a gas condensing boiler for use at peak demand to provide attractive price/ performance ratios. The units are easily retrofitted to existing systems. At the heart of the design is advanced, modulating inverter technology that enables continuous adjustment from 40-100% of load, ensuring optimum energy efficiency at all times. Additionally, the hydrophilic coating on evaporator fins maintains consistently high efficiency and shorter defrosting times.
Further efficiencies are achieved through the use of R32 refrigerant.

TITON
Titon’s FireSafe® Air Brick has recently been installed at the new Hayes Village development in West London.
The Titon FireSafe® Air Brick is a specialist product developed and manufactured by offering low resistance to airflow, but high resistance to fire as set out in Approved Document B (fire safety) volume 1: Dwellings, 2019 edition.
Commenting on the partnership with Titon and SIG Distribution, Laura French, area sales manager stated: “It was a pleasure working with SIG Distribution, they have a vast range of product knowledge and knew early on that the Titon FireSafe® Air Brick was perfect for the Hayes Village scheme. By supporting SIG Distribution with their product specification, Titon was able to meet and exceed all their requirements.” The Titon FireSafe® Air Brick is designed and tested to BS EN13141-2:2010 specifically for mechanical ventilation systems. It is ideal for fire safety applications.
