Adveco extends range of buffers vessels for heating projects
H
ot water specialist, Adveco, has announced an extension to its range of buffer vessels for commercial heating applications. In addition to the premium MSS range of carbon steel shell primary system buffers, Adveco has introduced the MSB range of standard carbon steel tanks. The MSB range features numerous high-, mid-, and low-level connections to ensure compatibility with almost any heating application. These tappings enable the tanks to be used with multiple return flow temperatures or multiple heat sources including glycol fluid based systems for solar and heat pump installations. The MSB range includes buffer vessels with capacities from 300L to 5,000L. All tanks are rated to 3 bar as standard and for temperatures up to 95°C. There are additional options for vessels up to 6 bar working pressure for projects based on higher pressure systems such as buildings with multiple storeys and basement plant rooms., For projects demanding higher system pressure, MSS tanks offer 6 bar working pressure as standard with options available to 10 bar for the most demanding applications. With 10 models available based on capacity (300, 500, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000 and 5000 litre) all featuring four large flanged main connections and four threaded connections as standard, MSS provides maximum. The new MSB Buffers are available now from 300 to 2,000 litres and can be delivered to within one month.

Lochinvar launches high temperature low GWP heat pump
L
ow carbon heating and hot water equipment manufacturer Lochinvar has unveiled a new range of high temperature air-to-water heat pumps capable of producing hot water up to 70°C while still achieving high energy efficiencies and reduced environmental impact. The Amicus Altus is available in three possible configurations: Two-pipe heating only, two-pipe heating or cooling, and four-pipe simultaneous cooling with heating and heat recovery, making it suitable for most types of commercial project. The high temperatures achieved makes the Amicus Altus especially useful as a direct low carbon replacement for gas boilers in buildings with high hot water demands without requiring a substantial remodelling of the heating and/or hot water systems. This makes the new range a valuable addition for specifiers looking for solutions that support Net Zero carbon strategies and help to reduce energy bills without major upfront capital costs.
The new range also operates with the very low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant R290 (propane), which is one of the most climate-friendly refrigerants on the market. It has a GWP of just three compared to the popular traditional alternative R410A which is typically used in this type of application and has a GWP of 2,088. R290 also has an ozone depletion factor (ODP) of zero and, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), its GWP over a 20-year period remains below one – making it more environmentally friendly as a refrigerant than carbon dioxide (CO2).

Podcast: how to size and select a dehumidifier
C ondair has released a new
podcast on how to size and select a commercial dehumidifier, in association with BusinessNet Explorer. In this short interview, Dave Marshall-George, Sales Director, explains the important elements any consultant or installer needs to consider when approaching a dehumidifier project.
Dave comments, “This short podcast is ideal for anyone about to set out on a dehumidifier job. Poor planning in dehumidification can not only lead to a desired humidity not being met but it can also compromise the temperature control of an area or result in excessive energy use. In this podcast, I explain how to select which type of dehumidifier to use, based on elements such as the temperature of the area in question, the level of control needed, available sources of energy and the physical characteristics of the building.” Alongside technology selection, the podcast also covers dehumidifier sizing and installation considerations. It is available all major podcast channels, including Soundcloud, Spotify and Google Podcast by searching for “Condair” and also on the Condair website at

Navien UK launches revolutionary AI technology
B
oiler and heating systems manufacturer, Navien UK has launched a revolutionary new technology which uses artificial intelligence to help homeowners utilise their heating system more efficiently. Navien’s ON AI is designed to incorporate seamlessly with Navien’s ON technology which features in its NCB ON range of Combi Crossover boilers, as well as Navien’s Smart Plus and Smart Plus ON AI controllers to create a network of integrated heating controls throughout the home. Featuring innovative firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) capable of updating the boiler’s built-in AI technology wirelessly, ON AI can provide homeowners with a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) report, to give them an in-depth analysis of their heating and hot water usage. Through a mobile app, a host of new innovative technologies can be accessed to help make heating homes simpler, including Smart Diagnostics which allows homeowners diagnose potential issues that may occur, quickly and accurately. Another tool is Smart Forecast which harnesses data from OpenWeather to respond intuitively to the current weather conditions to ensure the home remains at a comfortable temperature. “We’ve been developing an industry-first technology that will help make users’ lives that little bit easier,” says Sean Keleher, technical director at Navien UK. “Technology is at the forefront of our daily lives and this revolutionary AI is the next step in helping homeowners utilise their heating system more efficiently while using less energy and ultimately cutting down energy bills.
