Holidaymakers staying at a newly renovated holiday cottage in Swanage, Dorset, will reap the benefits of renewable energy from Danfoss’ most innovative air source heat pump.

The property, a former barn with a Corfe stone slate and timber construction, is located off the gas grid and the owners were reluctant to consider oil as a heating source due to its fluctuating price levels and need to regularly replenish the tank. Owner Catherine Mittins instead approached Dorset-based renewable energy specialist NGPS to discuss the possibilty of fitting an air source heat pump.

Ideal Commercial Boilers has launched a Commercial Product Range Guide, which contains in-depth information on its full range of products.

Featuring essential specification details in the form of tables, diagrams and product features, the new brochure offers a comprehensive and easy-to-read guide that can be used to accurately identify the best commercial boiler for any building project.

At a two-storey barn conversion in the Cotswolds, a comprehensive Hep2O underfloor heating system from Wavin has been specified to provide cost-effective and efficient heat distribution across both floors – helping the building to achieve BREEAM and CoSH targets for energy efficiency and thermal performance.

It is critical for central heating systems to be given a power flush to clear any debris from the system to maximise operating efficiency and reliability.

What is Power Flushing?
Power flushing is a cleaning process carried out by experienced and trained professionals. Essentially it helps to remove debris such as dirt, rust and lime scale to ensure that the central heating water, which circulates through the pipes, pump, radiators and air-to-water heat pump system, is as clean as possible.

Dimplex has launched the Quantum water cylinder, an intuitive, unvented direct cylinder which offers reliable and efficient water heating with an unprecedented level of control for electrically heated homes.

Working directly from the mains supply of water, the smart energy Quantum cylinder can ensure hot water at mains pressure to all outlets in the home, which means fast-filling baths, powerful showers and constant water pressure – even when the washing machine is in use.

As part of its commitment to providing highly efficient, sustainable energy solutions, Danfoss has released a new high capacity ground source heat pump designed for the large domestic property or a simple heating and hot water light commercial application.

An Evomod 1000kW condensing high efficiency boiler from Ideal Commercial, comprising of four 250kW modules, has been selected to replace three oil-fired appliances at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) in Camden, London, and is now providing reliable and cost-effective heating for the entire building.

At Ecobuild on 4th March, Viridian Solar will unveil its ‘Pod’ solar heating concept. A new product range that the company hopes will transform the way solar water heating is installed.

Stuart Elmes, Chief Executive Officer of Viridian Solar said “We’re very excited to be announcing this product. The main challenge with retrofit solar thermal isn’t fitting the panels on the roof – it’s the interface with the existing heating system. The Pod changes all that. We reckon we’ve simplified solar heating to the point where it’s as easy to install as solar PV”

To thank veterans who have suffered life-changing injuries or illnesses whilst serving their nation, Help for Heroes has built state-of-the-art rehabilitation facilities and adaptive accommodation in Plymouth, to help them recover. Funded completely from public donations, the charity committed £21 million to the construction of the Endeavour Centre – a purpose built rehabilitation complex, and the Parker VC building – a specialist adaptive accommodation facility.

Space Air Solutions Ltd, Guildford based subsidiary of the well known Daikin Distributor, Space Airconditioning plc, specialises in the Daikin Altherma range of heat pumps.

For the last 50 years Daikin has been the leading innovator in the heat pump industry. Because of this focus on innovation Daikin was the first to deliver Total Climate Control that respects the environment, is highly efficient and cost effective.

Ventilation is a key component of indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and climate control in buildings; it is a basic function to ensure fresh incoming air and the removal of stale air.

Mitsubishi Electric is inviting anyone who wants to know more about the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and understand the role heat pumps can play, to visit stand N2210/11 at Ecobuild (London ExCel, 4-6 March).

Dimplex Renewables has launched A-Class, the next generation of high efficiency air source heat pumps capable of delivering full heat output at air temperatures down to -7ºC and a maximum flow temperature of 65ºC.

New from Windhager at Ecobuild 2014 will be its latest development BioWIN 2.

The BioWin 2 has been designed to be a ‘space conscious’ appliance and can be installed within an alcove as it requires no servicing clearances either to the left, right or the rear and minimal clearance to the front. All cleaning and servicing is achieved from the front of the BioWin 2 – no other wood pellet boiler achieves these minimum clearances making it a real innovation and ideal for many different properties.

The new Aventa Silent fan range from Airflow Developments Ltd has been designed to provide powerful in line ventilation, whilst minimising noise levels within a wide range of domestic and commercial applications.

The Daikin Altherma Flex is an inverter controlled air-to-water centralised heating, hot water and cooling system for residential, commercial and industrial applications.

Airflow has launched a new ‘family’ of EC Centrifugal Industrial Fans to carry on its rich heritage of innovative air movement solutions.

At Ecobuild 2014 (4th-6th March at the ExCel; stand N1820/21), leading international heating systems manufacturer, Viessmann, will unveil the first mass-produced, commercially available, domestic fuel cell in Europe. Viessmann and Panasonic have jointly developed the Vitovalor 300-P polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC)-based micro combined heat and power system (mCHP), which goes on sale in Germany this April. By 2020, Panasonic and Viessmann expect a five-digit number of systems to be installed in Europe.

When the Shetland Islands Council needed to upgrade the heating system in its Port Administration Building on Sella Ness, biomass proved the most cost effective solution. Windhager UK has provided a highly efficient wood pellet boiler system to heat the workshop areas of the building, increasing the comfort of users and considerably reducing energy costs. The solution is the most Northerly installation of a biomass plant servicing the heating requirements of a building in the UK.

This year’s Ecobuild (ExCeL, London, 4-6th March) will see Polypipe Ventilation display its full range of energy saving ventilation products, including the Silavent Green Line range of centralised mechanical ventilation appliances, alongside the next generation of Domus Radial duct systems and a new stylish Silavent axial fan offering.
