Combine but also separate the old from the new for an efficient heating system
T
o help support the installation of its new Stratton mk3 wall-hung condensing boiler
onto existing heating systems, Hamworthy Heating has announced its latest range of plate heat exchangers, for increased boiler protection and performance.
Energy-efficient boilers are now the industry standard, but this can be an issue when integrating a new condensing boiler into an existing system and pipework. Challenges to consider are potential un-controlled leaks from existing systems causing raw oxygenated water to be constantly added to the system. This adds to the corrosion of the system and boilers creating problems from blocking heat exchangers with suspended solids and corrosion problems from system metals. To bridge the gap between old and new systems the Stratton mk3 is available with a range of easy-to-install AHRI certified plate heat exchangers to protect the new boilers from old systems. Plate heat exchangers separate the boiler from a secondary circuit (existing system). This prevents the risk of debris from entering the boiler which could result in expensive breakdowns. Furthermore, as limescale and system debris can block heat exchanger waterways, by utilising a plate exchanger, overall system efficiency is optimised.
Featuring a large surface area with thin plates to provide efficient heat transfer, the plate heat exchangers also help to reduce energy consumption, which in turn, can help to lower energy costs.

Smart heating solutions with Unisenza Plus wireless heating controls
S
mart heating solutions such as Myson’s new Unisenza Plus wireless heating controls help to create future-proof heating systems that offer significant energy saving benefits in both the short and long term. According to Julian Clegg, product manager at Myson UK: “The Unisenza Plus range is the logical next step with a wireless heating control solution that allows users to easily connect and control numerous heating and cooling devices at the touch of a button. The Plus refers to the extended range of possibilities and compatible products as well as the added value of a completely wireless network that allows for optimum flexibility in both new construction and renovation projects.”
Julian continues: “With only a few components such as the Unisenza Plus Gateway, the electronic thermostatic head, the wireless thermostat and
receiver, it’s very easy to make different combinations and configure the entire building with a single control range. The gateway can connect up to 100 end devices, for example, boiler, room thermostats, bathroom radiators, electric radiators, radiators with smart TRVs, etc, allowing for a fully tailored indoor climate comfort solution that evolves with the building as well as the occupants’ needs and habits. That, in turn, leads to more comfort and energy efficiency, a win for the end users’ budget and also for the environment.”

Enviro conscious Scottish couple opt for Panasonic Aquarea L Series R290 heat pump
A
n energy and environmentally conscious Scottish couple opted to install the Panasonic Aquarea L Series Air to Water heat pump in their Scottish bungalow.
The new installation was completed with the Panasonic Smart Cloud control system which allows the couple to have total control of their heating and cooling. The system was installed by RDI Renewables, a Panasonic accredited Pro Partner.
The new solution provides high water temperature as well as being connected to the existing indoor radiators throughout the bungalow. The heat pump is integrated with solar PV roof panels to further enhance the energy efficiency and minimising the environmental impact. The new Aquarea L Series can provide an increased output water temperature of 75˚C making it an ideal retrofit solution to connect to existing radiators. The couple have also saved on indoor space as the all-in-one unit is housed in the garage and incorporates the hot water tank, freeing up the indoor storage space.
Ryan Pollard, managing director of RDI Renewables said: “The L Series new indoor units are quicker and simpler to install as they are pre-plumbed with the DHW cylinder. We only needed an electrician for half the usual time. We also found moving the unit into position was simpler as the box shape is easier to manoeuvre. The outdoor units are also attractive, light and easier to position.”
