E-Tech M electric heater compliments low-carbon electric heating range
A
CV UK has announced the arrival of its new multifunctional E-Tech M mobile heater, which off ers a fl exible new approach to mobile electric heating and helps keep disruption to a minimum.
Designed to help speed up the screed drying process, the E-Tech M can also be used as a convenient backup heating solution. Featuring one plug-in that can work with up to six diff erent sources of power from 3 to 36kW and an automatic power detection system, the new E-Tech M, which uses a 230V electrical supply, is suitable for use in a variety of commercial and industrial projects. Confi gured to handle the time and temperature required as part of the screed drying process, the E-Tech M can be left to safely perform the job in hand to help keep projects on track. To further simplify use, the E-Tech M features a clear built-in 4.3-inch screen which incorporates four diff erent screed drying programs that can be created and stored for up to 60 days. For added convenience, these programs can be downloaded via a USB to create individual reports of screed drying processes.
Also available from the E-Tech range is a selection of wall-hung and fl oor-standing boilers, including the E-Tech P, E-Tech S with innovative Tank-in-Tank technology and E-Tech W, which is a wall-hung electric sealed system boiler with all components integrated into one simple unit.

Adveco introduces chilled water system tanks
H
ot water specialist Adveco introduces the Chilled Water System (CWS). This range of premium carbon steel tanks serves a diverse range of commercial cooling applications - including heat pumps, chillers or fan coil units - which require chilled water storage. The CWS range off ers 10 models from 300 litre to 5,000 litre capacity. This extra capacity enables a chiller system to considerably improve performance by ensuring better temperature control, increasing chiller longevity, reducing condenser cycling and improving system start-up times. Each vessel features multiple large bore fl anges providing high-capacity connections as standard at high and low levels providing greater versatility to cater for a wide range of system applications with moderate to high fl ow rates. These tappings enable the tanks to be used with multiple cooling sources, such as heat pumps.
Each CWS tank is supplied with dual-layer insulation, the inner lining providing an anti-condensation underlay, and then a further 100mm of outer insulation.
Designed with a low maximum height (1.87m to 2.265m with insulation) CWS despite its larger volume is easier to install in plantrooms, especially those with limited clearance. Due to the lower vessel height, CWS incorporates three internal partitions to aid in stratifi cation and preventing preferential fl ows. The outer insulation is also temporarily removable to aid in siting during installation.

Carrier’s apprenticeship scheme helps bridge HVAC skills gap
C
arrier has reaffi rmed its commitment to training and investing in the next generation of HVAC engineers and technicians with a new apprenticeship campaign. The company has appointed an apprenticeship manager and created the Bracknell Training Centre of Excellence. “The skills gap in the HVAC industry is well-documented,” said Oliver Sanders, Carrier commercial HVAC director, UK and Ireland. “We want to help address this problem by providing highly trained and experienced technicians that provide sustainable, resilient and digitally enabled HVAC solutions to help meet decarbonisation goals.” The apprenticeship scheme encompasses the design, application, installation and digitally connected servicing of equipment to maintain facilities with advanced data analytics and advisory services. Apprentices can study a range of qualifi cations, including refrigeration and air conditioning and building services engineering required to work with Carrier’s new equipment, service and rentals groups. Each pathway provides a comprehensive blend of practical and theoretical learning
“I loved my apprenticeship,” said Joseph Vipond, who recently completed his HNC Construction (Building Services Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) qualifi cation and seamlessly transitioned into Carrier’s pre-sales team. “It gave me the perfect opportunity to gain a Level 4 qualifi cation and earn a competitive wage while doing it.

Nuaire releases CPD on high temperature axial fans and VSDs
N
uaire has announced its latest CPD, which addresses high temperature axial fans & variable speed drives (VSDs). The CPD explains the standard ‘BS EN 12101-3:2002 Smoke and heat control systems - Specifi cation for powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilators’, and advise on compliance.
Simon Plummer, Nuaire Axials Divisional Manager said: “Frequency converters have been permitted for use during a fi re event since 2015, enabling dual mode fans (those used for both day-to-day ventilation and high temperature smoke extraction) to be controlled by VSDs, even during fi res. Prior to this, the VSD had to be bypassed during a fi re event, with the fan running at 100%. However, there remains some confusion in the industry about how high temperature fans and VSDs can be certifi ed and used for the various smoke applications within buildings. Our new CPD directly addresses this, explaining the standard in detail and the fl exibility it off ers Consultant and Smoke.”
The CPD also covers the test conditions that high temperature axial fans and VSDs must undergo, before moving on to best practice in high temperature fan design. The importance of opting for a fan/VSD that has been tested as a package is stressed, along with an explanation of why a VSD “Fire Mode” smoke clearance function is needed. The CPD can be delivered free of charge at Nuaire’s head offi ce in South Wales, online, or at a customer’s premises.
