Alpha Heating Innovation


When the boilers at Lound Academy Trust broke down, Alpha Heating Innovation’s ARES Tec 200 boiler was installed. An efficient system for the whole school was essential, and the ARES Tec 200’s modular set-up is perfect for heating large areas. The ARES Tec 200 is made up of gas burning modules that are interlinked within a single unit. As energy demand increases, the burners ignite one by one until maximum output is reached. As heating requirements decrease, the process is reversed. The fact that the individual modules fire up only when required means excessive heat loads are avoided, resulting in decreased burden on the system and minimal energy wastage. Ian Wood at Signum Facilities Management, said: “The ARES Tec 200 is a boiler I would work with, as in addition to its heating capabilities it is conducive to fitting into confined spaces.”

Alpha Wholesale have just announced the release of Conex Bänninger’s braze free solution to the UK to end the lack of press-fit technology for AC and refrigeration engineers. The >B< MaxiPro, is a quick and simple to install press system, providing a secure and permanent leak-free joint. Alpha Wholesale HVAC Ltd has stock available and delivers nationwide. >B< MaxiPro benefits from a 3-point press – three presses; one on each side of the bead and one press compressing the high-quality O-ring. The HNBR O-ring has been specially formulated to operate in the temperature range of -40°C to 140°C. This patented technology combined with the hook on each fitting provides a permanent and secure joint. Fittings come with a 1-year guarantee as standard but if you have carried out the requisite training, this extends to 5-years. It also comes with a wide range of certified approvals. www.alphawholesale.co.uk


NMC Group


NMC, a leader in the synthetic foams market, has developed a foam based on renewable raw materials. This innovation significantly improved the climate and energy performance of NMC products, and helps protect the climate and resources. The new NMC Naturefoam® is made mainly from polyethylene manufactured from sugarcane. Sugarcane grows back every year, absorbing CO2 as it grows and thereby saving finite resources. NMC Naturefoam® is available for NMC quality brands CLIMAFLEX® and EXZENTROFLEX®. The EPD® (Environmental Product Declaration) for the Climaflex range, made of NMC Naturefoam® certified by the IBU (Institute


for Construction & Environment), proves that the CO2 emission in the entire production process could be reduced to zero. In production of the previous Climaflex formulation, emissions amounted to 62.8kg CO2 per m3 of foam, whereas in rubber insulation they range between 200-220kg per m3 of foam. Technical pipe insulation products carrying the proven NMC quality brands CLIMAFLEX® and EXZENTROFLEX® are improved by the use of at least 50% renewable materials. Recycled manufacturing scrap and additives to improve insulation and fire protection complete the composition. CLIMAFLEX® and EXZENTROFLEX® from NMC Naturefoam® have


the same technical properties as the previous CLIMAFLEX® in terms of insulation, fire performance, installation ease and longevity. Politicians and consumers are demanding greater sustainability in the construction industry. This requires the use of materials which generate fewer greenhouse gases, contain a high percentage of renewable raw materials, and are manufactured using environmentally sensitive processes. www.nmc-uk.com


Lochinvar


Lochinvar has launched a range of continuous flow, gas-fired condensing water heaters for residential and small commercial buildings. The Impetus range comprises three quiet, highly efficient wall-hung models providing flow rates from 13.7 to 25 litres per minute at 35°C temperature rise. Very rapid response times, low water content and a fully modulating pre-mix burner with 8:1 turndown means output closely matches demand keeping energy use and carbon emissions to a minimum. This helps Impetus heaters achieve efficiencies as high as 96% (gross CV) and all three models are, therefore, ‘A’ rated under the European Eco Design Energy Label rating system. They work well when installed alongside solar thermal installations to provide ‘top up’ hot water when solar input is low or at times of peak hot water demand. They can be supplied with multiple flue options for siting flexibility and can be adapted to work as part of an unvented system. www.lochinvar.ltd.uk


Condair


Condair is launching a range of advanced commercial and industrial dehumidifiers, covering desiccant and condensing technologies with standard capacities from 0.5kg/h to 182kg/h. Custom units are also available, capable of providing even greater dehumidification under extreme conditions. Condair desiccant dehumidifiers use a silica-coated sorption rotor, ideal for low temperatures or applications requiring very dry air, below 50%RH. These dehumidifiers allow additional modules to be attached on either the process or regeneration airflows. Being able to customise the system with these modules allows air to be delivered at a precise temperature and the correct humidity. Condair condensing dehumidifiers use a refrigerant circuit to remove moisture from the air, enabling humidity reduction to around 50%RH.
