ADVECO
Adveco, has launched the FPi32 range of environmentally friendly air to water heat pumps designed for use with domestic hot water application. The three models, available in 6, 9 and 12kW variants provide a low carbon source of hot water in a more compact, quieter, more efficient and easier to install unit.
With the new R32 refrigerant circuit, this range of heat pumps addresses the environmental impact of previous refrigerants, whilst delivering zero impact on the ozone layer. The FPi32 requires almost a kilo less refrigerant to operate compared to the first generation FPi units, and this, with the gains from using R32, means the FPi32 range has just 20% of the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of its predecessor. Bill Sinclair, technical director, Adveco, said: “The use of R32 has major implications in terms of taking us toward responsible, sustainable systems that deliver business critical hot water without harming the environment. Not only does this go a long way towards helping businesses meet carbon targets this decade, but it also helps keep running costs low.”

DOMUS
Domus Ventilation has launched the new Solis Air Brick range of low resistance, non-combustible metal air bricks that are fully compliant with the revised Building Regulations Fire Safety Approved Document B. Changes to the Building Regulations, which came into force in November 2020, requires “Ductwork penetrating through the external cavity including termination to be non-combustible” when above 18m in England and 11m in Scotland, although it is expected the more stringent 11m rule will eventually be applied throughout the UK. The new Solis Air Brick is made from 1.5mm galvanized steel (fire class A1) non-combustible material to meet these changes to the regulations and ensure compliance.
The Solis Air Brick comes in three options: 204x60 single metal air brick, and 220x90 and 220x126 double metal air bricks. They are suitable for use with all external wall types and come with a wide range of stylish architectural grilles in a choice of colours for internal and external use.

FERNOX
By adopting the Fernox Express Inhibitor Test and Water Test App, housing association Magna Housing has been able to streamline its ability to service central heating systems. The combination of solutions is now set to be rolled out across almost 6,500 other properties. For domestic boilers to work efficiently, BS 7593:2019 and the Benchmark Commissioning Checklist recommend heating system inhibitor levels are checked annually and laboratory tested every five years. Recognising the opportunity to save time on the system maintenance of its properties and minimise the time engineers were on-site, Magna Housing agreed to trial the Fernox Express Inhibitor Test to check inhibitor levels as part of its annual checks.
David Royle For Magna House said: “Fernox has vastly improved our operations and streamlined how we’re able to manage and conduct annual boiler servicing. Using the Express Inhibitor Test has made it easier than ever to comply with important boiler and heating system regulations.”

BOILERMAG
A new care home development in Kent has invested in BoilerMag technology to protect its heating system and plant room from a build-up problem of ferrous oxide and scale.
Essex-based NCC Mechanical Services carried out an installation of two boilers to heat 140 low surface temperature (LST) radiators and 1,000 litres of stored water. To protect the plant, NCC installed two BoilerMag XL 1½ inch magnetic filters within the rooftop plant room. Ideal for medium- sized commercial, retail or large residential properties, the cost-effective BoilerMag XL prevents the build-up of debris in central heating systems, reducing energy bills and increasing boiler life.
Paul French of NCC Mechanical Services said: “We installed two BoilerMag XLs to protect the heating system, helping ensure that the expensive plant is protected and given a long and efficient lifespan. We fit BoilerMag filters regularly as many of our projects are design-and-build. BoilerMag gives us peace of mind that we are protecting the systems for years to come.”
