Nightingale facility keeps patients safe and warm
Quiet solution for big government initiative
AIC Heating UK has supplied three stainless steel Nesta 2 0kW boilers to the new ward block at HS ightingale Centre, Whiteabbey Hospital, in County Antrim. The design of the new ward was delivered by C F uadrant, AIC’s partners in Ireland, and involved a full boiler house replacement. Using three esta lus 2 0kW boilers, they also installed a plate heat exchanger to ensure maximum protection for the boiler installation. In addition to the high water content (up to 560 litres) promoting operational stability, lower pressure drop and a high efficiency yield (10 %), the esta lus boilers harness one of the highest modulation ranges (up to 10 1) in its product category. avin McKay, sales executive at C F uadrant, says We suggested the AIC esta boiler for its reliability, efficiency, and compact space
codan air source heat pumps have been supplied by Mitsubishi lectric to O O nergy for two government schemes. These aim to develop and showcase technologies that reduce the carbon emissions associated with providing heat and hot water. The two O O schemes, the ‘ ero Carbon Home roject’ and
Active drainage ventilation saving design, and also because it can cascade through a high kilowatt output. Stephen Wilson, M at AIC Heating, adds We were delighted to work with C F uadrant on this very important project, from planning stages through to commissioning, and having esta lus boilers installed and operating as they were designed to perform. phamnews.co.uk/820/3
Pressing pipes with greater speed The Megapress and rofipress piping systems from iega have been used on an extensive refurbishment of the Bertrand Russell Tower at the University of ssex’s Colchester Campus. The erman engineered press connections were selected to provide a quick, clean, reliable and durable heating and water supply solution on the first of a series of planned refurbishments for the university’s student accommodation. The renovation of the 16-storey tower included the complete replacement of all interior elements and building services to modernise and improve the tower for better building performance. Thick-walled steel tube was specified for the new heating pipework and

essica Tan, M of O O Smart Home, says Mitsubishi lectric is a well-established leader and innovator in its sector and its air source heat pumps are no exception. The trials allow us to develop alternatives to gas heating, which is a critical piece to deliver our sustainability vision under our lan ero – which commits to halving customers’ carbon footprints by 2030. With a sound pressure level of just 5dB(A), Ultra uiet codan provides renewable heating and hot water production for a wide range of installations. Units are available as .5kW and 11.2kW. phamnews.co.uk/820/3
Megapress allows the tube to be cold press connected, offering between a 0% and 0% savings in time. The contractor also chose iega’s rofipress system for the copper water distribution pipework. phamnews.co.uk/820/3
Marley’s H soil system and its Studor ositive Air ressure Attenuation ( A A) system are being installed at a property in hase 2 of the South West ands development located beside the capital’s Wembley football stadium. The Studor A A offers a solution to the issue of pressure fluctuations compromising traps in high-rise buildings. The combination of the Studor A A, Maxi- ent and Mini-Vent air admittance valves comprise a complete Active rainage entilation system to prevent pressure changes, guaranteeing traps remain full of water. This project involved a number of A A’s, Maxi- ents and Mini- ents being located throughout the building, while the 110mm and 160mm diameter H takes the waste down through the building to connect with the underground drainage. phamnews.co.uk/820/3
MVHR provides warmth and cooling Equipment from Vent-Axia has been specified as part of a luxury 1300m2 new-build family home in Kingswood, Surrey. The property spans four floors, with five ent-Axia Sentinel Kinetic high flow mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (M HR) units providing quiet, energy efficient ventilation for this extensive project. The ent-Axia M HR system was combined with geothermal intake ducts, which harness ground energy to remove the extremes of outside temperatures. As fresh filtered air is drawn through polymer ducts, renewable geothermal energy is transferred to the intake air, providing natural warmth when very cold outside and natural cooling when it’s hot. phamnews.co.uk/820/38
