CHAMPIONING INNOVATION EXCELLENCE & ACHIEVEMENT FROM ACROSS THE HEATING & VENTILATING INDUSTRY
GILBERTS
Gilberts Blackpool claims its new MFS-HR surpasses performance of anything comparable on the market for commercial and public sector applications. Building on Gilberts’ pioneering MFS hybrid ventilation unit, the combined hybrid unit can achieve up to 75% heat recovery. The market-leading heat recovery performance means that when employed as part of a sustainable strategy including photovoltaic arrays, MFS-HR could achieve energy negative status. MFS-HR is a stand-alone unit installed through the façade to ventilate, cool and warm the interior. Initial tests indicate each MFS-HR will provide up to 4kw heating and 2kw cooling capacity whilst still delivering an airfl ow rate of up to 470l/s. It could cost as little as £10/ annum/zone to operate.
Gilberts sales director Ian Rogers said: “MFS-HR will take hybrid ventilation with heat recovery to new heights in the drive towards energy and carbon reduction and re-affi rming Gilberts’ position as a technological leader.”

LOCHINVAR
Lochinvar has launched one of the UK’s most powerful heat pump water heaters. The Amicus Aquastore has an output of 8kW and 455 litres of hot water storage capacity in a compact monobloc package combining heat pump and storage vessel. It can deliver up to 65˚C hot water in both effi ciency and hybrid modes and up to 490 litres in a peak hour with a 50˚C temperature rise.
Aimed at the burgeoning low carbon replacement market for gas-
fi red water heaters in commercial buildings, it is designed to minimise disruption by avoiding the need for wholesale changes to existing heating and hot water systems. Its space saving monobloc construction means it is easy to manoeuvre. It is also a straightforward ‘plug and play’ process to set up and commission.
Heat pump technology manager James Cooper said the solution dramatically reduces the energy usage and carbon footprint without the need for a complex, disruptive and expensive installation.
