ADVECO
Adveco has announced its ranges of ADplus and AD condensing gas water heaters, and MD gas boilers are all hydrogen 20% blend ready without modifi cation.
The latest generation of appliances from Adveco deliver advanced burner technology and rugged titanium stainless steel construction of the heat exchangers that ensure optimal operation and longevity with ultra-low carbon and nitrogen oxide emissions. For models with multiple heat exchangers, smart balancing helps reduce operational costs, extends the life of the appliance, and provides built-in redundancy to eliminate downtime for business-critical demands of domestic hot water. This ensures Adveco’s ADplus, AD and MD will continue to deliver on the desire to decarbonise cost-eff ectively as hydrogen blending becomes commonplace.
Adveco’s technology provides a practical, future-proof choice with a clear path to the adoption of future generations of proven 100% hydrogen appliances as the gas network matures and greens.

DRAVO
Dravo has supplied an energy effi cient HVAC system for a leading UK retail giant’s distribution centre.
The distribution centre, located in Milton Keynes is a state-of-the-art facility and is one of the UK’s largest, covering a 45 acres site – the size of 12 football pitches. The facility supplies a rapidly expanding network of supermarkets and convenience stores across the UK. The 940,000ft2 building needed a suitable energy effi cient HVAC system to match and Dravo were able to provide the ideal solution to meet the clients specifi c heating requirements for the low bay area and cooling for the temperature controlled zones, which was to contain racking for pharmaceutical products, by supplying 8 x AHU’s; GH indirect gas fi red appliances complete with modulating low NOx burners and high velocity ductwork distribution system. The new facility consists of temperature controlled zones, which are 8.3ml x 3.1mw x 3.0mh and the bays are 8.0ml x 2.6mw x 2.6mh.

ALTECNIC
Altecnic has unveiled an extension to the Caleffi 5 year warranty to cover the Ecocal® Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) and the Ecocal® Twin Packs. Ecocal® TRV has been designed to ensure heating systems are energy effi cient with its liquid fi lled element automatically controlling the opening of the valve to maintain the desired ambient temperature of the room, ensuring that only required heat is used. The brass TRVs with a chrome plated fi nish are suitable for use in conventional twin pipe heating systems where the level of temperature control needs to be more accurate than is available through a manually operated valve. Supported by an ‘I-rated’ TELL (Thermostatic Effi ciency Labelling) classifi cation, the Ecocal® fulfi ls the requirements which are in line with EN 215 for energy effi ciency. The 5 year warranty covers the Ecocal® thermostatic control heads and the Ecocal® twin packs, which consist of the control head, body and lockshield valve.

PANASONIC
As the global demand for energy-effi cient heating and cooling solutions increases, Panasonic is expanding its Aquarea range of air source heat pumps. Available from Spring 2023, the Aquarea K and L generations are the latest innovations to emerge from Panasonic’s R&D centres and refl ect the company’s values through innovation and are in keeping with its vision of creating technologies for a low-carbon society. The new models are focused on improving energy performance and off ering a series with natural refrigerant.
The K generation utilises R32 refrigeration, making it an excellent solution for new homes. Meanwhile, the L generation uses the natural refrigerant R290, which has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of only 3. The L Series is designed to maximise the properties of R290 refrigerant, allowing a water outlet temperature up to 75°C even at -10°C outdoors. It is therefore suitable for renovation and collective applications where a high temperature is required for radiators.

CIAT
CIAT UK is collaborating with consultants and distribution partners in a pioneering approach to help schools transition to low-carbon heating technologies as part of a planned, phased strategy. The project follows Carrier’s recent successful Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) projects for more than 60 schools in London, the Midlands and Yorkshire. The phased approach is successfully working at Kepier School in North East England, which installed seven new gas boilers three years ago. CIAT UK and its project partners developed a long-term decarbonisation plan for the school, with funding under the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF). “The key is to upgrade heat emitting systems, so the move to low- carbon heat pumps can be made seamlessly when the time comes to replace end-of-life gas-boilers,” said Rob Smelt of BReng Hull. “This ensures valuable capital is used to maximum eff ect, while moving towards Net Zero.”

ROCKWOOL
A new piece of artwork by artist Lubna Chowdhary showcases the versatility and aesthetic potential of exposed heating and ventilation pipes as a design feature, in a 6.5m by 5.5m sculpture made from ROCKWOOL RockLap H&V Pipe Sections.
The “Erratics” exhibition was commissioned by the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA) and features a sculpture made possible by a ROCKWOOL donation of 320 metres of its RockLap H&V Pipe Sections, sized with a 140mm inner diameter and wall thickness of 25mm. Will Wigfi eld, HVAC & fi re product manager at ROCKWOOL, said: “Our HVAC products are often left exposed in modern commercial, retail and leisure projects to provide an attractive and interesting focal feature that blurs the line between function and aesthetics. It is fascinating to see how Lubna has taken this one step further and transformed RockLap into such a stunning and imposing piece of art.”
