Podcast: how to control static by contolling humidity
C
ondair has released a new podcast about how manufacturers and commercial businesses can avoid static issues impacting their productivity by proactively managing their indoor humidity. In this short interview with Business Net Explorer, Dave Marshall- George, sales director at Condair, explains why static build-up occurs at low humidity, the issues it can cause in industrial and commercial situations, and how best to control it through humidification of the indoor environment.
Dave comments: “Electrostatic build-up is much more prevalent as indoor relative humidity drops. This means it can be seasonal issue for manufacturers. Indoor humidity is lowest in the winter, so manufacturers can experience increased problems of materials sticking together, being repelled by each other, or even sparks resulting from electrostatic discharge, during the colder months. A very effective way of dealing with this is to raise the indoor humidity to around 45%RH. “Studies have shown that at higher levels of indoor humidity, the static charge caused by activities, such as walking across synthetic carpets, can be reduced by as much as 95-98%. This short podcast explains why and how manufacturers and facility managers can use humidity control as an effective anti-static measure.” The podcast is available all major podcast channels, including Soundcloud, Spotify and Google Podcast by searching for “Condair” and also on the Condair website at www.

iVector S2 – a new generation of fan convectors
T
he new iVector S2 from Myson is the ideal fan convector for heating systems with low temperatures. Designed for a more responsible future, the iVector S2 offers many advantages. It maintains a higher heat output at lower system temperatures than competitive products to provide significant energy savings. The combination of low water content and an axial fan means it responds more quickly to fluctuations in room temperature in order to meet comfort requirements at all times. iVector S2 has a sleek, compact design and offers many installation options such as wall mounted (with or without feet), wall recessed, ceiling mounted, ceiling recessed, or freestanding, for optimal flexibility in interior design. iVector S2 is the ideal solution for commercial applications, such as conference rooms, reception areas, businesses and hotel rooms, where several fan convectors can be managed using a single remote control. It is also suitable for domestic applications, especially in rooms which might only be used occasionally, for example guest rooms or hobby rooms. The iVector S2 works well with condensing boilers but is also suitable for use with a heat pump, which is a more sustainable and low-carbon alternative to condensing boilers. It is also is the ideal product to pair with a reversible heat pump to offer both heating and cooling functions.

RapidLock revolutionises air distribution installation
I
ndoor climate solutions provider, Zehnder Group UK, has launched an innovative new connection clip for quicker and easier installs for its air distribution systems. The new connector for Zehnder’s semi-ridged ducting, aptly named RapidLock, ensures a secure, airtight connection across the air distribution system – from the manifold to the grille housing. This removes the pain for installers of grappling with metal clips, greasing gaskets or relying on bayonet sockets, even when ducting is rotated 90 degrees. With the new Zehnder RapidLock connection, a tight seal is made in seconds and installers can confidently move onto the next task. The easy-to- use connectors can be fitted, unclipped and adjusted with ease, preventing problematic unclipping, which often results in ducting being damaged with metal clips if the ductwork wasn’t originally aligned properly. Designed for ease of use, the Zehnder RapidLock connector streamlines the installation process of ventilation systems, including mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) units.
In an industry facing training and skills gaps, this new innovation addresses a crucial need. It can help to prevent issues during installation, which can lead to significant problems as well as additional time and costs. The new install solution will help to enhance overall trust in products and give peace of mind to the end-user that the ventilation system they have in place is helping to create a comfortable and healthy environment.
