Ideal Heating launches CIBSE accredited Heat Networks & HIU CPD
I
deal Heating – Commercial Products has introduced a new CIBSE accredited CPD to its collection, on Heat Networks and Heat Interface Units (HIUs). It provides an overview of the benefits of heat networks and the role that HIUs play in ensuring the thermal comfort of the end user and the efficient operation of the network. Predominantly a beginner’s guide to heat networks, aimed at those who have a basic knowledge but little first-hand exposure, the CPD describes the concept of heat networks and their key benefits. It focuses on HIUs, explaining their role as the appliance that transfers the thermal energy from the network to provide heating and hot water for the end user. The basic principles of HIU operation, along with common components and some typical mechanical and electronic functions for HIUs are addressed. To ensure the network and the HIUs are operating in harmony, at their optimum, there are aspects that installers should consider when choosing an HIU, as well as things to avoid. The new CPD provides advice on these, gained from Ideal Heating’s experience with its own POD HIU range. The hour long Heat Networks and Heat Interface Units CPD can be delivered online or in person, either at a customers’ premises or at one of Ideal Heating’s Centres of Excellence in Hull and Leeds. These premises have recently been completely refurbished to convert them into state of the art training facilities, with Ideal Heating’s commercial products installed so attendees can get interactive, hands-on training.

AWC/AWST monobloc heat pumps offer powerful performance
T
oshiba Air Conditioning is expanding its portfolio with a mini variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system that takes advantage of low-GWP R32 refrigerant.
In order to support a decarbonisation journey for customers, the R32 MiNi- SMMS, with a reduced amount of the refrigerant charge, has accomplished an 80% drop in CO2 equivalent emissions against the previous model. It is the first Toshiba VRF product manufactured in Europe, facilitating prompt deliveries to customers.
The new MiNi-SMMS offers a year-around comfort with wide temperature operating range from -20°C for heating and up to +46°C for cooling, optimised by as-needed defrosting function and new wired remote control RBC-AWSU52-E featuring Bluetooth connectivity for operation by smartphone.
To cover all room shapes/constraints, 11 types of indoor unit are available from 0.3HP to 5HP, a number of which feature advanced air filtration solutions for projects that require high indoor air quality. The quiet indoor unit emits just 23dB(A), less than rustling leaves, while the outdoor unit emits down to 52dB(A) at maximum operating level, which users can reduce to minimum 44dB(A) in night mode if required. Another advantage is extended flexibility. For instance, the system can accommodate pipe runs up to 300m in length and up to 50m in height between outdoor and indoor units.

Hamworthy Heating provides Shastid Energy with a quick and reliable solution
H
amworthy Heating has supplied Shastid Energy with a Tyneham Air Source Heat Pump for installation at its premises in Cambridgeshire.
The Tyneham heat pump range offers superb operational reliability, excellent quality, and outstanding performance backed up by engineering excellence and lifetime support. One of the lightest commercial heat pumps on the market, it features a co-efficiency of performance (COP) rating of up to 4.85, to provide efficient, low-carbon heating. The seven models in the range have six nominal outputs of between 14 to 70kW, which can also be cascaded to achieve higher outputs in larger installations. Incorporating an inverter controller compressor to accurately match the heat demand, Tyneham heat pumps use R32 refrigerant to deliver increased efficiencies.
Shastid Energy decided to replace its entire heat pump system when it was faced with a fault on an existing heat pump and it was unable to source a company willing to provide a quote to repair it. Hamworthy Heating was quick to resolve the issue – a new 14kW air source heat pump was delivered to the Shastid offices within three days, ready for installation straight out of the box. Quickly and expertly installed by Shastid Energy’s engineering managers, Peter Millgate and Daniel Martin, the new system was successfully up and running within two short days, restoring the building’s heat.

Vent-Axia offers help with building regulation compliance
L
eading British ventilation manufacturer, Vent-Axia, showcased its latest continuous ventilation solutions at this year’s InstallerSHOW held at the NEC in Birmingham last month.
Visitors to Vent-Axia’s stand could discover simple solutions designed to remove the risk to installers when retrofitting ventilation by ensuring compliance with the latest Part F (Means of Ventilation) of the Building Regulations. On show was a range of continuous ventilation including Vent- Axia’s app-controlled Lo-Carbon Svara, its highly efficient Lo-Carbon NBR dMEV C, and the Vent-Axia PureAir Sense with odour sense technology. A key addition to Part F for installers is a new sub section ‘Installing Energy Efficiency Measures’ in existing properties. Here it sets out that: “When carrying out energy efficiency measures to an existing dwelling, an assessment should determine what, if any, additional ventilation provision is needed, based on the estimated impact of the work.” “Over the last few years, we have all seen the real consequences of sealing up homes and insulating them to make them more energy efficient. It has resulted in indoor air pollution. Amended Part F has started to redress the balance of ventilation with energy efficiency, however, not everyone is aware of the changes or how to comply with them,” said Natasha King, Product Manager at Vent-Axia.
