CONDAIR
Dave Marshall-George, sales director at Condair, has recorded a podcast with BusinessNet Explorer, on the implications low indoor humidity has on our respiratory health.
The need for increased ventilation to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) has been much discussed in the media but humidity’s impact on the health of building occupants is much less understood. In this 10-minute interview, Mr Marshall-George gives a summary of the main eff ects low humidity has on the transmission of viruses, such as the fl u and COVID, what we can do about it and the practicalities of improving indoor humidity levels on a nationwide scale.
Mr Marshall-George commented: “Low indoor humidity is a
signifi cant factor in the rise and fall of seasonal respiratory illness every winter. There is, however, something we can do about this.” The podcast is available on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Soundcloud and Apple iTunes by searching for “Condair Podcast”, or on the Condair.

CARRIER
Two Carrier AquaSnap® 30RBP air-cooled chillers with Greenspeed® Intelligence inverter-driven speed control, are providing high-performance, low noise cooling for wards and operating theatres at Royal United Hospitals Bath. The high-effi ciency chillers are running on lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant R-32 as part of a major upgrade of the hospital’s air conditioning system. Refrigerant R-32 is up to 10% more effi cient than R-410A, the refrigerant it replaces, and its global warming potential is 68% lower. The chillers, mounted on a new roof-top platform, replace two older split-system chillers by other manufacturers, signifi cantly reducing servicing requirements and related costs due to their compact, fully packaged design.
“Key requirements for the project were excellent effi ciency, reliability, resilience, low sound levels and reduced environmental impact, and the Carrier chillers and system design deliver this,” said James Allard, director of Brunel Integrated Services, consultant on the project.

SANHA Welding is out
SANHA has introduced two new series of press fi ttings for thick- walled carbon steel pipes.
In the past, thick-walled pipes were often welded. While the strength of the connection is obvious, welding is time-consuming and costly. Piping specialist SANHA has now introduced an attractive alternative. Their new series “Heavy Steel Press” fi ttings come with either EPDM or FKM O-rings.
SANHA® Heavy Steel Press Fittings have been engineered with several unique features and industry fi rsts to provide unmatched joint integrity, optimum system fl ow, and installer ease of use. Fittings are manufactured to specifi c standards and thoroughly tested. Contact Sanha today at
webuk@sanha.com or 01628 819245.

GILBERTS
Gilberts’ MFS hybrid ventilation unit, the stand-alone ventilation, heating and cooling system has been value engineered. Not only is the new version cheaper whilst retaining its quality and performance, it uses less steel. It also makes it lighter in weight, potentially reducing transport costs structural loadings (and potentially build costs). These make a positive contribution towards its embodied carbon. Being lighter, the MFS further requires less labour eff ort to install. These benefi ts compliment eco-advantages already delivered in the unit. Ian Rogers, Gilberts’ sales director said: “With the drive towards reducing our carbon footprint, MFS benefi ts everyone involved in the building services supply chain, including the end customer/building occupants. It is a genuine ‘win:win’, whether new build, refurbishment, re-purposing. The new MFS typifi es Gilberts’ place as the UK’s leading independent air movement specialist, engineering from concept quality products that meet or anticipate market forces and deliver for the environmental agenda.”

PAROC
Paroc, the specialist in energy-effi cient and fi re-safe stone wool insulation products, has launched the Paroc Clad system, an innovative full system that protects pipework and ventilation without the need for costly, hard-to- install metal cladding.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor installations, the system is weatherproof, UV-resistant, impermeable to water, and salt-water resistant. It can be used on temperatures up to 680°C, making it ideal for protecting against temperature losses on high-temperature systems and steam lines. Its robust construction also makes it ideal for use in a wide range of areas including chemical manufacturing, the food industry, HVAC, and even coastal applications.
It consists of a highly durable multiple layer composite
fi lm, with a fully metal-free and non-corroding surface. This off ers further application possibilities where rust needs to be mitigated, reduces the weight of a construction, and is maintenance-friendly.
