DOMESTIC SOLUTIONS & APPLICATIONS


One of the defi ning features is the conversion kit included as standard, which gives it the ability to run on both Natural Gas and LPG


points and provide a straightforward way for installers to try something new without taking additional risk. A practical, installer-focused solution, rather than a complicated market


alternative, the NCB300 will fi t into existing routines, while quietly simplifying them. One of the defi ning features is the conversion kit included as standard, which gives it the ability to


run on both Natural Gas and LPG. The addition of the conversion kit removes the annoyance of choosing between separate models or sourcing additional components before installation. For installers, they have greater peace of mind that if they head into a job and circumstances change on-site, they know there is no need to delay the install or reorder parts – something which also reduces the need to carry extra stock in the van. There are also clear benefi ts for merchants and end users. For merchants having in-branch conversations, the ability to off er one product that covers multiple scenarios makes it easier to recommend. The fact that it covers both fuel types also reduces the number of SKUs required, simplifi es inventory management, and lowers the risk of incorrect orders. And for end users, the level of fl exibility off ers reassurance that whether they are off -grid or facing delays in connection, the system can adapt to their situation without requiring a diff erent boiler.


Smart valve could cut home heating bills by as much as 30%


B


y replacing traditional home heating systems with an precise, effi cient ‘multi-zonal’ setup, Dectravalve, could save the average UK household £250 or more per year, the company claims.


The patented Dectravalve is a digitally controlled


valve the size of a fi zzy drinks can that slots into a domestic heating system near to the boiler. Controlled by a simple to use app, it directs heat precisely where it is needed at a given time, using the minimum amount of energy possible. Paul Arkesden, chief executive of


Hydrohertz, said: “When designing Dectravalve we set out to revolutionise home heating with an elegantly simple, truly agile solution - one that addresses the long- standing issue of home heat loss, dramatically boosting both control and effi ciency. “We adopted a ‘clean slate’ approach,


applying the very latest developments in automotive thermal management to create a truly next-generation solution that will transform how we heat our homes. Along


British start up Hydrohertz has launched a new innovation which it claims that has the potential to cut home heating bills, and associated emissions, by as much as 30%


with its improved functionality, Dectravalve crucially has the potential to meaningfully reduce energy consumption, and to ease concerns around the cost of living for households around the UK, especially


during a time of ever rising energy costs.” Dectravalve is digitally controlled via an app and


fed information via sensors around the house. It enables a home to be heated more effi ciently and with precise room level control, using only the minimum of energy needed to get a room up to the desired temperature. Martyn Talbot, chief technical offi cer, explains:


“Traditional home heating systems are far from effi cient, they are a bit like turning on all the lights in a house, even if you just want to light a single room. And existing smart heating systems are overly complex, with involved installation and endless wiring. We wanted to create something simple, but eff ective. Our sensor controlled zonal system fed by the Dectravalve, delivers a new-found level of effi ciency and fl exibility, while also being straightforward to install and use.”
