SPIROTECH
Spirotech has added to its range of powerful vacuum degassers, introducing the SpiroVent Superior S250 for smaller commercial closed heating and cooling systems.
Appropriate for locations such as schools, restaurants and larger domestic properties, it is designed to operate almost silently. The S250 has been created in response to increased demand for low- temperature systems, such as in underfloor heating where it is difficult to detect where air can be released from.
Air in a system leads to corrosion and a destructive sludge, also creating noise from components such as pumps, which would cease to work efficiently.
Business director Rob Jacques said: “Unlike with higher temperature systems where you can predict where air will appear and then expel it with deaerators, in the new low-temperature systems it’s often impossible to determine where that would be. “With a vacuum degasser, this is no longer an issue, improving efficiency and extending years of service.”

S&P UK
Ventilation specialist S&P UK has expanded its range of high-efficiency heat recovery units to include the RHE 15000, offering the highest rate of air flow designed for large spaces – a significant upgrade in capabilities. The RHE range uses a thermal wheel heat recovery to gain the optimum thermal efficacy with a sophisticated control system. With an increase in demand for fresh air, the RHE 15000 can deliver 4m³ per second, making it suitable for schools and colleges, commercial offices and retail. The unit can be supplied as a standard part or customised to meet specific application requirements. S&P UK recently supplied an RHE 15000 as a custom order to include an electric heater to City College Norwich, where the unit was craned four storeys high onto the roof of a major £9.1 million extension under construction.
Lee Page, sales director at S&P UK, said: “We have been supplying the RHE product for a number of years but by expanding the range, we can supply this product with a much higher airflow.

EXCOOL
Excool has been looking at new technology for indirect adiabatic/ evaporative cooling solutions for data centre applications. Recent developments in indirect evaporative cooling technology have seen the emergence of a new type of cooling solution. The new technology allows data center operators to determine which method or combination of cooling methods to use to cool their data center with the flexibility to change as the internal and external conditions vary, for example an increase in IT load or if power and water costs increase and decrease. Excool understands there is not a ‘one size fits all method’ but with emergence of new technologies the options of water vs no water are no longer polar opposite, and a flexible middle ground can easily be achieved. When designing data centers for a sustainable future, the client can be positive that water use in the cooling of an adiabatic/ evaporative solution can be closely aligned with the efficiency and sustainability goals of low energy, reducing carbon emissions and conserving water.

GILBERTS
Ventilation manufacturer Gilberts has supplied more than 300 air movement and control units for the refurbishment of Lancashire Constabulary’s Skelmersdale Police Station. The project follows Gilberts’ provision of similar for one of the Constabulary’s main operating centres two years ago.
The Skelmersdale refurbishment is being undertaken by Conlon Construction supported by Pick Everard and James Mercer Group Mechanical Engineers. As part of its works, James Mercer has installed Gilberts’ GSFE circular swirl diffusers and GECA eggcrate grilles at all levels throughout the building, to provide dedicated supply and extract airflow. The general air movement units are complimented by Gilberts’ Firegard FG2 and FG3 high velocity ductwork smoke and fire dampers and DUC fire dampers rated to deliver up to four hours’ protection against penetration of smoke and fire, managed by some 80 control modules.

CONDAIR
Tim Scott, sales and marketing director at humidity control specialist, Condair, is retiring after 32 years of service to the company. Tim joined the company, known then as JS Humidifiers, in 1988 in the sales department and became service director 13 years later and then finally sales and marketing director in 2007. He has seen the company expand its operations to become a leading humidifier company and also internationally, to distribute its products across the world from South America to Asia, and becoming an integral part of the global Condair Group in 2014. He said: “Looking back across the last three decades working in the humidity control sector, I feel really privileged to have worked with such amazing people, including my direct colleagues and also the wider network of customers, suppliers and distributors. A company ethos of fairness and equity, alongside taking pride in our performance and a definite focus on enjoyment and social fun, has meant the last 32 years have been an absolute pleasure.”

ACV
Trolley-mounted ACV electric boilers from ACV are being used to fulfil a need in the construction sector.
Temporary plant rooms and boiler hire are being used frequently to help sites that need emergency heating or to maintain services during a plant room refurbishment. Rapid Energy has seen its business grow rapidly in line with this demand and has also discovered a niche sector with portable electric boilers.
Rapid Energy approached ACV to purchase their E-Tech electric boiler range for trolley-mounted boiler hire.
Sami Kasap, of Rapid Energy, said: “Their main use on construction sites is to help reduce the drying time of screed. However, with the E-tech W 15kW boiler being available as a single phase makes it ideal for housing developments, so they’re also used for temporary heating and hot water for the construction staff working on these projects.
