TORMAX Upgrades Access to Nottingham University Sports Village


W


orking directly with Nottingham University, TORMAX recently completed a new automatic entrance into the David Ross Sports Village. This popular facility experiences high levels of pedestrian traffic so TORMAX recommended their robust, technologically advanced iMotion 2202.A door drives to automate the two sets of bi-parting sliding glass doors.


Offering a complete package from door design, manufacture and installation, TORMAX also has an in-house team of qualified service engineers covering the UK. With a Planned Maintenance Contract in place, the new Sports Village entrance will benefit from timely servicing throughout the year, minimising unscheduled downtime.


“TORMAX iMotion drives set the industry standard for longevity,” confirms TORMAX MD, Simon Roberts. “Even a busy entrance such as this, with appropriate servicing, the doors can deliver reliable performance for up to 25 years or more.


“A comprehensive service call-out can quickly pick up any potential problems, avoiding long-term damage to the system whilst also providing timely maintenance to maximise the performance of key mechanisms.”


Developed with the support of David Ross, Carphone Warehouse founder, the £40m Sports Village opened in 2016 and offers inspirational and accessible sports provision to all. Located under the one roof on the University Park campus, the facility includes one of the largest sports halls in the country, four all-glass squash courts, dedicated archery, fencing and table tennis amenities, martial arts dojo, high performance zones and a sports injury clinic.


Experts in automatic door systems, TORMAX offers tailored solutions for almost any location, including sliding, folding, and revolving doors. Central to their installations is the highly reliable iMotion motor, engineered without common wear-and-tear components like gears and brushes—minimizing maintenance and significantly extending operational life.

Hamworthy Heating provides Cambridge primary school with new Tyneham heat pump cascade installation


T


wo Tyneham 290HT 27kW air source heat pumps from Hamworthy Heating – a trusted British manufacturer and supplier of commercial heating and hot water products – have been installed in cascade for underfloor heating in a new extension at a primary school in Cambridge.


To accurately meet the heating requirements of the new school extension and ensure an even distribution of heat, the new system from Hamworthy Heating includes two 290HT 27kW Tyneham heat pumps with natural refrigerant, configured in a hydraulic cascade set up. The heat pumps are connected to a 500L buffer cylinder, which also features an electrical heating element, controlled by a BMS. The buffer connections, Exogel anti-freeze valves and degassers were also supplied by Hamworthy Heating.


This cascade arrangement allows for the heat capacity to be equally distributed according to the specific heating demands of the new school building.


Rather than rely on a larger single heat pump that could run inefficiently at partial load, the new cascade set up enables the units, which have inverter controlled compressors,


to adjust their capacities as needed which will enable the school to achieve a more accurate match to its actual heating demand and optimise performance.


Additionally, as the new system can adjust to keep the heat pumps operating at their most efficient state, cycling of heat pumps and unnecessary energy consumption is avoided.


The two new Tyneham 290 HT installation also provides the school with increased protection against breakdowns. Unlike a single heat pump installation, which can result in complete downtime, the new system now supplies the new building with uninterrupted heating. Furthermore, as the workload is shared across two Tyneham heat pumps, stress and wear on individual components is significantly reduced.


Following a previously successful collaboration with Hamworthy Heating on the schools existing heating system, Sotham Engineering were keen to stick with a brand they could trust on the second phase of its project.


Ricky Harris, Sotham Engineering Services Ltd comments, “We choose Tyneham heat pumps due to their overall performance and efficiency. Having collaborated with Hamworthy during the first stage of the project, we found them easy to work with and always available to provide support and assistance”.
