Going green

M&E Event 2007 SummitSkills Training Academy

The overall theme for this year’s training academy, sponsored by SummitSkills, is a practical approach to sustainable design, construction and operation of buildings. The sessions, spread over the two days, will examine how the industry can achieve what needs to be done in making buildings more efficient. This will include a wide range of areas including design, installation, maintenance and property management.

Aggreko - Stand D61

Aggreko is showcasing its latest air conditioning unit: the ACHP160. The new unit completes Aggreko’s range of temporary air conditioning designed for industry. The ACHP160 has a 100 kW cooling capacity with a variable airflow between 10-20 km3/hr. It can also act as a heat pump.

It has been designed to provide an on-demand solution to all industries, for all major events that require a reliable, flexible and cost-effective solution. It can be deployed equally well for ongoing process enhancement and dealing with critical events.

As with all the company’s products, it is backed by 24/7 support from a global network of Aggreko service centres.

Cablofil - Stand C95

Cablofil has made it even quicker to install its wire tray system with the Faslock clip.

Designed to replace the traditional nut and bolt method of fixing lengths of cable tray together, Faslock is an exclusive clip developed specifically to create bends with Cablofil wire tray for any width between 100 mm and 600 mm. Created to offer ease of use along with strength and stability, Faslock simply clips into place and, once secured with a pair of pliers, provides a sturdy joint.

Faslock is available in electrozinc, hot dip galvanised and stainless steel 316L options.

Colt International - Stand A160

Colt International will be launching Caloris, its WRF (water refrigerant flow) air conditioning system, at the E2 Energy Solutions Expo.

WRF utilises heat pump technology to provide high performance output, while minimising the use of environmentally harmful refrigerants – thus beating the F-Gas Regulations. It uses a neutral water pipework system to provide simultaneous heating, cooling and heat recovery, and is compatible with ground source heat pump technology.

On the first day, Colt will present one of the show’s many seminars: Heat pump technology: will ground source energy displace air source? It takes place from 14.30 to 15.10 in seminar theatre A.

A range of other energy efficient products from Colt will also be on display.

Evinox - Stand A145

Evinox is launching its new commercial condensing boiler range at the show. The boiler is available in six sizes with wide ratio modulating outputs up to 484 kW. It is one of the few boilers in its category to have the four star NOX rating in accordance with EU Directive 92/42/EEC.

The compact design and pre-mix downward firing burner principle means that the largest output model uses a floor space of only 0.7 m². All models are complete with a built-in microprocessor with optimiser and compensator to accommodate one heating zone and one hot water zone.

Lochinvar - Stand B150

Lochinvar is showcasing the ECOForce+ gas-fired condensing water heater. Featuring a patented cold-water injection system, which enables almost continual condensing mode operation, ECOForce+ provides maximum performance for the user and up to 108% net thermal efficiency.

Another new product, the TurboCharger, works on the proven principles of low storage and fast hot water recovery, extracting otherwise wasted heat via a triple pass flue.

Megger - Stand B43

Megger’s time-saving testers will be on display. With most instruments, the whole process of walking between the RCD and the tester must be repeated for each of the five tests. As the RCD and socket are usually some distance apart, this can be very time consuming.

Megger’s latest instruments, such as those in the MFT1550 series, offer automated RCD testing. With these, the user plugs the tester into the socket just as before and then initiates the test sequence. They walk to the RCD and, every time it trips, resets it. Each time it is reset, the next test in the sequence is started automatically – there’s no need to return to the instrument to initiate it.

ScaleStop - Stand B86

ScaleStop recently announced the launch of the Next-ScaleStop Physical Water Conditioner, which will be on show for the first time at this year’s M&E Event. ScaleStop makes use of a new technology known as template assisted crystallisation (TAC) to seed the hot water services with calcium carbonate crystals. These cause the scale to form in suspension in the water in preference to encrusting surfaces.

ScaleStop is plumbed into the water supply and requires no chemicals, no power supply nor any kind of magnet or other external energy source. It generates no waste, requires no regeneration, no maintenance or servicing.

ScaleStop’s highly efficient media means that its footprint is roughly 25% that of a conventional softener while its effectiveness at preventing scaling is a near perfect 99.6%.

Tek-Air - Stand GLC 131

According to Tek-Air, the newly launched AccuValve electronic airflow control valve is the first revolutionary innovation in critical airflow management for 40 years, offering fast-speed response, low pressure drops and linear accuracy.

As air enters the AccuValve, it is divided into two equal airfoil-shaped compression chambers to create a laminar airflow. The laminar airflow is now at a higher velocity to allow for a greater turn-down of up to 8:1.

Come and have a look for yourself.
