 Chillers / Integrated HVAC Systems - 1
Carrier UK
Our integrated offering brings together a complete range of high
performance, energy efficient products and building controls, backed by
nationwide service and maintenance and spares support.
30XWV Variable Speed Screw Chillers
The latest development of the established 30XW range, the 30XWV
variable speed screw compressor chillers offer significantly enhanced part
load efficiency. Typical ESEER levels are >9.0 and annual average system
efficiencies ~10.
23XRV Tri-Rotor Variable Speed Screw Chillers
The unique tri-rotor design of the 23XRV provides a more balanced
compression process that imposes much lower loads on the compressor
bearings. This allows significantly reduced rotor clearances for improved
efficiency and results in an L10 design life for the compressor bearings of
more than 500,000 hours. The 23XRV can deliver average annual system
efficiencies approaching 11 with the resilience and robustness inherent in
screw compressor technology.
The Next Generation of AquaForce®
Carrier has been working over the past years on selecting the right
refrigerant for the future and has now taken the lead in introducing the next
generation of refrigerants on screw units: PUREtec™. With PUREtec™,
Carrier offers a range of new customised solutions using a refrigerant with
zero impact on the ozone layer and nearly zero global warming potential:
HFO-R1234ze.
Air-cooled screw compressor chillers: 30XA-ZE and 30XAV-ZE.
Water-sourced screw compressor chillers and heat pumps: 30XWP-
ZE, 30XW-ZE, 30XWHP/HV-ZE and 61XWH-ZE.
All the reliability, efficiency, adaptability of the AquaForce® range combined
with PUREtec™ refrigerant HFO-R1234ze.
System SEER
The Part L Building Services Compliance Guides acknowledges that the
SEER method of representing chiller efficiency should only be considered
as an approximation. Using our Chiller System Optimiser modelling tool,
Carrier has now developed a method of predicting chiller system efficiencies
that matches much more closely the specifics of the proposed installation.
This new approach considers all the factors that can influence actual chiller
system performance, including:
• Number of chillers
• Size of each chiller
• EER of all chillers at every combination of load & operating condition
• Control sequence for the chillers
• Load profile of the building
• Hours of operation
• Local weather conditions
The System SEER approach not only produces predictions of chiller system
efficiency that are much more representative of reality, but also figures that
can be significantly higher than those produced by a simple individual chiller
SEER analysis. Improvements in annual average chiller efficiency ratings
of 20-30% are typical, significantly reducing the electrical consumption and
carbon emissions attributed to the cooling plant, with substantial benefits
for the whole building’s carbon profile.
AdvanTE³C
AdvanTE³C is not so much a product as a design philosophy. AdvanTE³C
draws on Carrier’s engineering and environmental expertise to deliver
sustainable building services design in innovative ways. Solutions are
developed in collaboration with clients to meet their specific needs by using
Carrier’s unrivalled engineering expertise, modelling and simulation tools
and in-house test facilities. Projects include high energy density data
centres (~3kW/m2), low energy building systems and district heating/cooling
systems capable of delivering hot water at 70°C.

 Evaporative Cooling / Humidification - 5
CAREL UK
CAREL is a world leader in control solutions for air-conditioning, refrigeration
heating and ventilation, and systems for humidification and evaporative
cooling.
We design our products to bring energy savings and to reduce the
environmental impact of machinery and systems.
Our solutions are used in commercial, industrial and residential applications.
Research, innovation and technology are the keys to our success: for more
than 40 years, customer needs have been at the centre of our design work,
so as to offer elements of differentiation in terms of both function and
appearance.

Evaporative Cooling
Evaporative cooling is a process that exploits the evaporation of water to
cool the air: the change in state from liquid to vapour in fact absorbs energy
from the air, which consequently is cooled.
Very low energy consumption means evaporative cooling systems are
environmentally-friendly, energy saving solutions: 100 kg/h of evaporated
water absorbs around 69 kW of heat from the air, for a power consumption
of less than 1 kW.

Humidification
Humidification is the art of efficiently increasing the humidity level of air.
The right level of humidity is fundamental for many applications and
processes and for the well-being of humans and animals.
Isothermal and Adiabatic humidification systems control the level of
humidity, adding moisture to the air when the humidity level decreases below
a desired set point.

Water Treatment
Reverse osmosis is a technique in which the water being purified is pumped
at high pressure and forced through a semi-permeable membrane with pores
smaller than 0.001 µm in diameter: the majority of the dissolved ions are
filtered by the membrane, thus producing relatively pure water.
The CAREL reverse osmosis water treatment systems are designed for use
with heaterSteam, gaSteam, humiFog, MC multizone, humiSonic and
chillBooster systems.

 8- Close Control AC
Uniflair
Energy & Cost Saving
Energy saving and engineering excellence are the hallmarks of Uniflair’s
latest generation of stylish air conditioning units and precision water
chillers, designed for the cooling of comms rooms, co-location and data
centres, UPS rooms and any environments which need year-round
precise control of operating conditions, 24 hours/day.
Air Cooled Turbocor Chillers
The latest innovation from Uniflair is the BCEC air cooled chiller series featuring
oil-free variable speed Turbocor compressors with magnetic bearings.
ALL models are available in BCEF free cooling version, for energy savings
that set the new benchmark in this sector, taking advantage of the double
benefits of free-cooling reducing the load on the refrigeration circuit which
then puts the Turbocor compressor into its highly efficient part load operation.
Unlike many rivals, Uniflair has not opted to simply adapt an existing
chiller range to fit the Turbocor, but has spent considerable time and
resources to develop a completely new range to take full advantage of
the benefits of this innovative compressor, while at the same time
ensuring dependable operation even in demanding ambient temperatures.
Uniflair Free-Cooling Turbocor Chiller
Leonardo HDCV High Efficiency CRAC Units
Welcome to the latest generation of high efficiency chilled water downflow
units from Uniflair.
With a separate fan deck, suitable for location above or below a raised
floor, these stylish units offer maximum capacity and efficiency from the
smallest of footprints, freeing up valuable additional white space within
the data centre.
Designed specifically for the modern data centre with performance
optimised at elevated temperatures in line with the latest ASHRAE
guidelines, and combined with cutting-edge composite fan technology,
the HDCV range offers up to 50% fan power savings compared to
conventional downflow units.
Chillers With “Intelligent Free Cooling”
Built to the same high standards as the precision air conditioning units,
the chiller range is equally well-suited to 24/7 or other applications where
reliability and energy efficiency are key.
All critical chilled water systems will require a standby chiller to ensure
the necessary levels of resilience are maintained at all times.
For chillers from 40kW up to 1.5MW, Uniflair created “Intelligent Free
Cooling” which allows the free-cooling potential of any standby chillers
to be utilised without compromising the resilience levels of the system.
Uniflair Intelligent Free-Cooling maximises energy savings whenever the
ambient temperature is below the chilled water return temperature,
including:
• Huge free cooling coils, back-to-back with each condenser coil
• 10% reduction in main pump size (intelligent free cooling pump fitted
Uniflair HDCV High Efficiency Downflow Unit
on-board)
• Up to 90% additional free cooling from any “Intelligent” standby chiller
Optimisation Management
Not only are the individual air conditioning units and chillers market leaders
in terms of energy saving, Uniflair goes further in offering innovative
solutions for their management and control as part of complete systems.
For example, in a chilled water system with Uniflair Master Control, a
tracking logic follows the heat load and varies the chilled water
temperature dynamically to maximise operating COP and extend the
periods in which free cooling is available.
Innovation
With 30,000m² of production facilities, a Research Centre comprising 8
climatically controlled test labs over 2000m² and over 5% of turnover
(non-profit) re-invested into R&D, the company philosophy is one of
continual technological innovation to keep the Uniflair range of products
at the leading edge of the market. The Research Centre provides the
facilities to test and develop new products and components as well as
allowing in-house client witness testing for the complete product range.

 14 - Sky Air & Split Systems
Daikin UK
Sky Air A-Series
New to Daikin UK’s Sky Air range of air conditioning solutions for light
commercial applications is the A-Series, featuring Bluevolution R32
technology.
Promising seasonal efficiencies of up to 10%, the Daikin Sky Air A-Series
has the highest absolute seasonal efficiency industry-wide
The range adds flexibility to design, with piping lengths up to 85m and
extended operating ranges – cooling from -20°C to +52°C (outdoors) and
heating down to -20°C (outdoor temperature).
There are three ranges in the A-Series, and two are contained within a
lightweight single fan casing of less than a metre – easy to handle and
minimal ongoing visual impact.
The high end double fan unit comes pre-charged for a 40 metre pipe run
– the maximum length for 60% of Sky Air applications. This saves time
and cost and avoids the need for calculations, carrying gas bottles or
adding field charge.
And with an R32 charge of less than 7.4kg, there is no F-gas requirement
for leak checking.
At the heart of the A-Series is the unique Daikin swing compressor –
designed for high efficiencies and increased service life – and Daikin’s
refrigerant cooling technology for PCBs, ensuring reliability in all weather
conditions.
With a redesigned pivoting front plate for easy access to components,
the units feature a new 7 segment display for easy error read-outs and
an integrated leak-check function.
So the Sky Air A-Series is quicker to work with at every stage of
installation, commissioning and servicing.
The new replacement technology included on all Sky Air A-Series units
offers a quicker, easier and more reliable way to replace existing AC
systems, so the A-Series is a smart choice for the replacement market.
Incorporating the proven benefits of Variable Refrigerant Temperature in
delivering the highest efficiencies, the Sky Air A-Series promises optimal
comfort and flexibility, geared to each individual customer’s needs.
Customers can control the system from their mobile or tablet device, via
the new intelligent Tablet Controller and Daikin Cloud Service.
So the Sky Air A-Series offers a convincing set of features for even the
most discerning end user.

R32 Systems
Daikin UK introduced the first R32-based heat pump systems in Europe
– giving domestic air conditioning a foretaste of next-generation
refrigerants.
R32 is Daikin’s preferred refrigerant to meet next generation legislative
and environmental requirements because of its superior energy efficiency
and low global warming potential.
R32 already makes up 50% of R410A refrigerant, but R32 on its own has
a GWP of 675, compared to R410A’s 2,088.
The greater energy efficiency of R32 results in a lower refrigerant charge
and the potential to manufacture smaller units. Therefore, it is also easier
to re-use and recycle.
Daikin introduced the world’s first R32 domestic air conditioners in Japan
in 2012 and has already sold more than 4 million systems in that market.
Installation of R32 systems is similar to R410A systems, however slightly
different equipment is required. Daikin can advise on training
requirements.
The full range of R410A products remains available alongside the newer
technology.

 VRV / Air Conditioning Systems - 15
Daikin UK
New Technology Beats Dust
Revolutionary dust-beating technology from Daikin UK adds a fresh
dimension to air conditioned comfort for hotel guests – and boosts the
efficiency and reliability of VRV systems.
Following the success of the self-cleaning panel option for its round flow
cassettes, Daikin has introduced an automated filter cleaning system for
its medium static pressure FXDQ-type slim ducted fan coil units. Typically
found in hotel bedrooms, but also popular in other applications where a
concealed unit is required in a ceiling void of just 240mm.
The system is also available for FDXM-F-type units, a similar design for
use with R32 multi-split systems.
The new cleaning system is designed to meet the expectations of
hoteliers and their guests, avoiding the basic problem of dust
accumulation, which necessitates frequent servicing of filters.
Without servicing, system performance can be impaired, comfort levels
are reduced and operating costs are increased. Dust build-up can also
lead to dirty marks around grilles.
In tests comparing automatic weekly filter cleaning against manual
cleaning at three-month intervals, the automated system delivered
efficiency gains of up to 20%.
The system has a unit programmed to sweep across the width of the filter
at predefined intervals. Dust is conveyed to a dust box, where it can be
removed via a suction port by a domestic vacuum cleaner.
Timing and frequency of filter cleaning can be set with a Daikin remote
controller, or centrally with a Daikin i-Touch Controller, i-Tab Controller
or i-Touch Manager. BMS interfaces for BACnet, LonWorks and Modbus

Water Cooled VRV IV W+

Amid growing market acceptance for water cooled VRV systems, Daikin
UK is doubling its range with the introduction of 12hp and 14hp
condensers to complement the existing 8hp and 10hp systems. The new
condensers have all the features of the existing range, plus technical
advances.
Water cooled VRV is ideal for applications where plant space is restricted
by practical constraints or planning considerations as well as where
geothermal heat sources can be utilised in low-carbon projects.
Daikin’s new water cooled VRV systems are designed to lead the market
by achieving the highest level of efficiency.
VRV IV W+ systems come with variable water flow control as standard
which can reduce water pump energy use dramatically.
A valve controlled by compressor speed opens wider to allow more water
to flow through the system when additional capacity is required. However,
when less is required, the valve gap narrows and power input to the water
pump is reduced, saving money and reducing carbon emissions.
With the further advantage of its two-stage heat recovery capabilities –
between indoor units and via the water loop – Daikin VRV IV W+ now
also provides reliable hot water generation via the same LT and HT
hydroboxes used with air cooled systems. This opens new possibilities
for water cooled systems to provide a complete solution for temperature
control needs in a building.
Whether installed in basements, plant rooms or riser cupboards, Daikin
VRV IV W+ systems are designed for a minimal space requirement. With
a footprint of just 0.429m2 they have the market’s smallest footprint per
kW of output.
And where there is clear height of 3.2m, they can be stacked to produce
up to 120kW per stack. This combination of compact dimensions and
high performance allows developers to maximise lettable space.

 Multi VRF Systems - 17
LG Electronics
Multi V 5 (model ref: ARUM***LTE5), LG Electronics’ latest Variable
Refrigerant Flow (VRF) solution, is equipped with a host of technological
advancements. These include;
Dual Sensing Control
Directly benefiting the end user, Dual Sensing
Control reduces operating costs and optimises
comfort conditions. The Multi V 5 system reacts to
load requirements by monitoring both temperature
and humidity levels using Smart Load Control (SLC).
The system operating conditions are regulated in reaction to both latent
and sensible heat loads, increasing energy efficiency by up to 31%
compared to some SLC models, rather than a traditional sensible load only.
A typical VRF system operation would fluctuate considerably in order to
maintain required room conditions, normally operating on a thermostat on,
thermostat off cycle.
The Multi V 5 Dual Sensing Control offers each user a selectable Comfort
Cooling option, which maintains supply air temperatures around the desired
room set point, reducing on/off cycling, eliminating draughts and delivering
maximum user comfort. LG’s Latest VRF Multi V 5

Ultimate Inverter Compressor

LG’s own 5th generation compressor offers a host of unique LG
technological developments, a High Sided Shell (HSS), High Pressure Oil
Return (HiPOR™) and a new Polyetheretheketone (PEEK) bearing which
allows an all inverter system compressor to operate between 10Hz-165Hz,
increasing partial efficiencies, extending capacity and increasing reliability.
The advanced PEEK bearing system sees a redesigned scroll bearing
consisting of a material normally used in air plane engines to give high
reliability by suffering minimum effects of frictional wear at high
temperatures, a cause normally associated from periods of oil-less
operation. HiPOR™ greatly reduces compressor energy wastage by
returning oil directly into the sump of the compressor. Oil viscosities are
kept low and volumetric efficiencies high which adds to increased
compressor efficiencies by up to 10%.
LG’s concept of real time oil monitoring is included in each compressor.
‘Smart Oil Management’ utilises a sensor placed in each compressor to
monitor oil levels in real time, allowing corrective action when required,
improving life cycle expectancies and extending heating periods by Dual Sensing Control
eliminating unnecessary oil return, coupled with the added ability to balance
oil levels between compressors.
Large Capacity ODU
Adopting an awareness of biological-inspired engineering, a biomimetic
fan has been developed and incorporated with a 4-sided heat exchanger
and improved compressor performance. Multi V 5’s efficiency and capacity
has been enhanced to be able to provide 26HP (72.8kW) from a single
outdoor unit.
Working with Seoul University’s Department of Mechanical & Aerospace
Engineering, the researchers behind the development of Multi V 5 drew
inspiration from the Humpback whale’s functional morphology of flipper
structures to give a naturally evolved passive flow control. By adopting a
biomechanical approach, increased air flows have become possible,
negating most of the associated negatives.
Ocean Black Fin Ultimate Inverter Compressor
Equipped with Ocean Black Fin anti-corrosion coating, Multi V 5’s 4-side
heat exchanger is protected to reduce the effects of corrosion normally
found in coastal and industrial environments. The 2-part coating consists
of a black epoxy resin providing the resistance and a hydrophilic coating
to minimise the accumulation of moisture, which would accelerate any
chemical reaction
Solution to a Varied Application
With ever increasing demand for various applications of VRF across the
HVAC industry, LG’s Multi V range has always offered a common outdoor
unit model with the possibility to attach fan coils, air handling units, water
production, heat recovery ventilation and an array of control integrations.
With the introduction of Multi V 5, LG has made a common chassis for heat
pump and heat recovery systems (BS box will be required for HR).
A change to system application once tenants have moved into the building
has now never been easier. LG Control Solution

 18 - Heat Pumps for Heating
Mitsubishi Electric
Energy Labelling
The Energy Related Products (ErP) Directive requires all space and water
heating products to display an energy label to identify the most energy
efficient products available. The Ecodan® range has achieved the highest
space heating band of an A++ rating.

Incentivised
Heat pumps are recognised as renewable by the Government and are
therefore eligible to receive regular quarterly payments from the
Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI).
Homeowners can receive up to seven years of payments whilst
commercial installations are eligible for up to 20 years of RHI payments.

Ecodan® Heat Pumps

Mitsubishi Electric’s award-winning Ecodan range offers the UK viable,
mass market, low carbon domestic and commercial heating.
Manufactured in Scotland and the Far East, Ecodan is accredited under
the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS), offering homes and
commercial properties a low carbon alternative to gas and oil heating.
The new fifth generation of domestic models is specifically designed for
the UK. Ecodan is as ‘plug and play’ as possible, quiet and inverter
controlled to regulate energy consumption.
Equally important in these days of fuel poverty, Ecodan can reduce fuel
bills compared with oil, older gas boilers, LPG and direct electric.
Mitsubishi Electric has also introduced remote energy monitoring on every
Ecodan that leaves the factory, with the company believing this is key to
demonstrating the effectiveness of heat pumps and helping homeowners
to qualify for incentive payments.
Ecodan delivers these levels of efficiencies over traditional forms of
heating, even when the inefficiencies of the National Grid are considered.
As greener sources of electricity become available, the efficiency (and
cost) gap between Ecodan and other forms of heating will grow.

High Efficiency for New-Build

A new domestic Ecodan 4kW unit has been developed specifically to
meet the demands of modern homebuilding techniques.
The unique design of the Ecodan QUHZ air source heat pump delivers
efficient hot water whilst still providing renewable heating to answer the
high hot water, low heating requirement of highly insulated homes.

Commercial Heating
Designed specifically for use in commercial properties, our larger
renewable Ecodan products (CAHV and CRHV) use proven heat pump
technology to deliver effective, low carbon heating to provide a simple
solution that can replace traditional systems.
Heating accounts for more than half of the total energy consumed by an
average commercial property, so this is the obvious area to target to
make the required difference.
The Ecodan CAHV air source heat pump is already used in schools and
commercial premises such as showrooms to provide reliable renewable
heating. It is also acting as a community heating system for 24 homeless
flats in London and is being specified in more projects as the full potential
of the product’s adaptability is realised.

District & Community Heating

Kingston Heights in Kingston upon Thames demonstrates that heat
pumps can provide effective, low carbon solutions to community heating
schemes.
The development uses Mitsubishi Electric’s advanced water sourced heat
pumps to provide heating and hot water to 136 modern apartments and
heating and cooling to a 142-bed hotel – all supplied with renewable
energy from the River Thames.

 Kitchen Ventilation - 25
Britannia Kitchen Ventilation
Britannia has been servicing the commercial kitchen ventilation market
since 1995. Our portfolio contains a long, long list of fully satisfied
customers and end-users; a legacy which provides us with a reputation
that is second-to-none. From the largest to the smallest of projects, no
effort is spared in finding the right solution to your kitchen ventilation problem.
Since its inception, Britannia has built its reputation upon a team of the
industry’s most experienced people, with a combined knowledge far
surpassing that of our competitors. It is this intimate understanding of the
product, the industry and our focus on customer service, which has seen
us grow into the UK’s market leading supplier of Commercial and
Institutional Kitchen Hoods.
Our ethos is simple: we provide a range of products of the highest quality,
at very affordable prices, whilst being mindful of the impact their
manufacture and use has upon the environment.
Britannia offers a range of products by covering all types of ventilation
Belfast Metropolitan College – Heydal Installation
systems which includes: grease filtration systems, recessed fluorescent
light fittings, service distribution units, splash back wall cladding, fire
suppression systems and make up air systems. Canopies and ceilings are
manufactured from type 304 satin polished stainless steel. All welding is
of high penetration, reground and polished to match the original finish.
Joints in the canopies are formed by means of internal standing seams
with stainless steel bolts, which are then covered with a full height cover
strip and sealed to the canopy valance with food grade sealant. All
construction complies with DW172.
No visible fixings are used in the construction of our hoods.

The Britstream Range

The Britstream range of hoods has been developed after years of “in the
field” research and development of kitchen hoods. Apart from this
real-world input, we have extensively tested and retested products at our
own facility in Leamington Spa as well as sponsoring many external test
procedures on various components.
The result of all this work is a hood system based around a group of
Le Cordon Bleu Cookery School, London – Silverline Installation
modularised components which can be configured in multiple ways to
create, what to all intents and purposes is a bespoke product. All parts
have been designed to achieve a predetermined performance but are
specifically not over-engineered. The combination of these properties
provides a consistently high quality product, with great flexibility of
application and at extremely competitive prices.

Ultrastream UV Filtration System

Britannia also offers the Ultrastream range of canopies, which use UV
Filtration to provide secondary grease destruction and odour removal. This
keeps extract ducts clean and allows for cleaner discharge air.
First stage grease removal is achieved using the Superstream high
efficiency baffle filter panel, which also provides a fire barrier between the
kitchen and ductwork.
Grease and odour destruction is achieved by passing the extract air through
the UV lamp assembly located within the canopy. Intense UV light energy
breaks down and destroys residual grease and odours by a combination
of ozonolysis and photolysis. Cadbury Green & Black’s – Refresh Installation

Refresh Recirculation Unit Ventilated Ceilings from Britannia

Refresh is a self-contained kitchen ventilation unit that comprises an extract
and supply canopy with a dedicated services tower at one end. The tower
has an integral fan unit and additional stages of filtration to clean the air
before being introduced back into the kitchen.
Contaminated air from cooking appliances is filtered first by the
Superstream baffle grease filters located in the canopy to remove the vast
proportion of grease from the airstream.
Using the power of the internal fan in the tower, the air is then drawn out
from the canopy and through the tower assembly and passed through four
additional stages of increasingly efficient filters, to remove remaining
grease before going through carbon filter elements to reduce odours.
Filtered air is then reintroduced into the kitchen through the supply diffuser
on the front of the canopy.
Britannia provides two types of ventilated ceiling system – Silverline and
Heydal.
Silverline is the canopy based ventilated ceiling that provides dedicated
extract chambers which are safely ducted to the atmosphere, reducing the
fire risk within the kitchen space. The surrounding ceiling area is
manufactured from stainless steel infill panels and supply air diffusers,
providing a clean line of sight across the kitchen, whilst providing a durable
aesthetically pleasing solution.
Heydal is the fully demountable ventilated ceiling system (see image at
top of page) that provides a clean line of sight whilst combining flexibility
of layout for the end client who may want to move his kitchen equipment
around in the future. The void above the ceiling is grease free and is used
to introduce clean air back into the kitchen.

 26 - Natural & Low Energy Ventilation
Breathing Buildings
Breathing Buildings is the UK’s leading low energy natural ventilation
company – home of the E-Stack® and NVHR® mixing ventilation system
that is changing the world of natural ventilation.
When we started the company back in 2006, there was a choice between
cold draughts and wasteful pre-heating of air. Our patented E-Stack®
mixing ventilation products and strategy, allied to smart controls and
superb engineering, has changed that forever.
The benefits of mixing ventilation are now so clear that it is written into NVHR® Assisted Single-Sided Ventilation Strategy Schematic
regulations, such as the Priority Schools Building Programme and the
updated BB101, both stating that for naturally ventilated teaching spaces
fresh air must be pre-mixed in winter, a testimony to the evidence we
can show you.

Mixing Ventilation
The Breathing Buildings philosophy of natural ventilation stems from
pioneering research at Cambridge University and the ground-breaking
E-Stack® natural ventilation system. The research at Cambridge
identified a paradox with ventilation – many naturally ventilated buildings
were found to use more energy than mechanically ventilated ones! This
was solved by developing a new approach to natural ventilation which is
now completely changing the industry.

Draught-Free Classroom Ventilation provided by NVHR®

Before E-Stack®
The traditional method of naturally ventilating a building was to bring air
in at one location and to exhaust it from another. In winter, the problem
of cold draughts was overcome by pre-heating the air with a radiator or
other such device.
However, in modern well insulated buildings, if the cold, fresh air has
been pre-heated to 16ºC by a radiator, then the space becomes
incredibly hot if the ventilation rate is limited to the minimum required in
terms of CO2 levels. This results in spaces being over-ventilated and
therefore the radiators emitting more heat to pre-heat higher quantities of
cold air.
Mushroom Style Roof Terminals Passive Stack Ventilation
Winter Mixing
This conundrum was solved by treating the heat gains in the space as a
benefit rather than a problem. A new method of naturally ventilating a
building in winter was devised and patented which requires the incoming
cold fresh air to be mixed with warm room air before it reaches occupants.
With this winter mixing natural ventilation strategy, the heat gains in the
space are used to effectively pre-heat the air and the heating bills for
naturally ventilated buildings can be reduced dramatically by 50% over
the whole year.
Dynamic Thermal & Computational Fluid Dynamic Modelling

 Indoor Climate & Environmental Products - 27
Halton Foodservice
Halton Group specialises in indoor climate and indoor environmental
products, services and solutions. Halton’s aim is to create comfortable
and safe indoor environments that have energy-efficient and sustainable
life cycles.
Halton solutions range from public and commercial buildings to health
care and laboratories, commercial kitchen and restaurant applications.
Halton is also one of the most recognised indoor climate solution
providers for marine and offshore applications.
Areas of expertise and product ranges include air diffusion, airflow
management, fire safety, kitchen ventilation, air purification and indoor
environmental management.
Halton Foodservice is the department of Halton Group dedicated to
providing solutions for the ventilation of professional kitchens and
restaurants.
Halton Foodservice designs solutions that combine the four
cornerstones of High Performance Kitchens.
A professional kitchen is a very demanding environment in which
ventilation is always a challenge.
Our continued passion for innovations and product development to supply
the widest and most comprehensive range of solutions, systematically
combining one or several of the four cornerstones of High Performance
Kitchens:
• Energy Efficiency
• Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ)
• Food & Fire Safety
• Controlled Emissions
Combined together, Halton solutions generate a powerful synergy that
make your kitchen a place where efficiency works “hand-in-glove” with
well-being.

Energy Efficiency
At 800 kWh/m², the catering industry is one of the most energy consuming
commercial activities throughout Europe. It makes energy performance
the most important aspect of the “High Performance Kitchen” concept.

Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ)

Turnover of staff is one of the major challenges faced by commercial
catering establishments. The low appeal of the chef’s profession is largely
due to unpleasant thermal comfort. This is related to air temperature and
speed, the heat radiated by cooking appliances and humidity.
The Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ) is a wider notion that also
encompasses lighting quality, sound pressure levels and visual comfort.
All of these factors can be improved with a correctly designed and
properly dimensioned air ventilation and conditioning system.

Safety
Many restaurants today do not re-open after a major safety incident.
Operators or owners not only have to deal with the interruption of
business, but also face up to their responsibilities to the building’s other
tenants, customers, third parties, or associated negative publicity.
Safety should be de facto a major concern for all professional kitchens.

Controlled Emissions
It is highly likely that future legislation may well stipulate that “fresh” air
used for any process must be discharged back into the atmosphere at
the same quality as that at which it was taken in. This will represent a
real challenge for catering establishments in dense urban areas.
These are just few of the challenges Halton engineers are used to dealing
with in their daily design work. Just let us guide you to the way of High
Performance Kitchens!

 28 - Natural Ventilation, Daylighting & Cooling
Monodraught
Monodraught has over 40 years’ experience developing award winning,
low energy solutions for the building services industry.
Natural Ventilation
Monodraught Windcatcher® systems encapsulate prevailing wind and
carry that fresh air down into the room below to provide natural ventilation.
The system is divided internally into four quadrants so that the leeward
side of the system creates a negative pressure causing an extract at high
level which removes stale air and CO2 from the building.
In addition, the system utilises passive stack and buoyancy principles.
Volume control dampers within the system regulate the amount of
ventilation, according to requirements. Windcatcher® natural ventilation
systems can eliminate the need for air conditioning during summer
months and provide all the benefits of free night cooling without
compromising the security of the building.
The Windcatcher® range includes the classic GRP units which can be
manufactured in square, circular and oval as well as feature turret
systems. The manufacturing process allows for special bespoke designs
and sizes to be provided to suit the exact building requirements to any
BS or RAL colour. The Windcatcher® X-Air has excellent structural and
UV stability and comes with a 10 year No Leak Guarantee.
Activlouvre® modulating aerofoil technology features specially designed
louvre blades to minimise resistance and maximise airflow. Both
Windcatcher® ranges include the option of solar powered assisted natural
ventilation with Sola-boost® variants.
The Ventsair® louvre system is designed to suit a variety of different
building façade applications. The system provides controlled fresh air
during the day and secure night time cooling via cross flow and stack
ventilation.
Hybrid Thermal Mixing System (HTM)
The Hybrid Thermal Mixing System is designed to meet the requirements
of the Priority Schools Building Programme by combining exceptionally
low specific fan powers and an intelligent control system as standard. This
includes a full data logging facility, temperature control and CO2 control.
Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery Systems (MVHR)
Monodraught’s MVHR systems are designed to supply tempered fresh
air to any built space, ensuring the correct oxygen levels are maintained
whilst expelling stale air. By simultaneously recovering heating or cooling
energy to temper incoming air, the systems can significantly reduce power
consumption and associated building running costs.
Natural Daylighting
The Sunpipe® system maximises the concept of renewable energy by
reflecting daylight down through a mirror-finish aluminium tube. By
installing these systems, at least 75% of the electricity used for the lighting
during daytime use can be saved and a considerable saving in carbon
emissions can be achieved. Other key benefits include the quality of the
natural light within the building and the positive effects on those occupants
therein. There is virtually no heat loss in winter months and solar gain is
minimised during summer months.
Sunpipe® Luxloop combines all the benefits of the Sunpipe with a high
efficiency LED source to deliver the right light at the right time of the day.
Natural Cooling
Cool-phase® is a low energy cooling and ventilation system that creates
a comfortable, fresh and healthy indoor environment while reducing the
running costs of commercial buildings. Cool-phase® uses a thermal
battery store utilising a Phase Change Material (PCM) in combination
with an intelligently controlled air handling unit. The Cool-phase® system
can maintain temperatures within the comfort zone while radically
reducing energy consumption by up to 90% compared to a conventional
cooling system.
Cool-phase® Hybrid is an innovative enhancement that links high
efficiency air to water heat pumps with Monodraught’s natural cooling
phase change material system. Monodraught also offers a range of
grilles, diffusers, external louvres, volume control dampers and heat pump
water heater systems.
Monodraught Building Simulation
Monodraught offers IES Cool-phase®, Windcatcher® and HTM® libraries
to help architects and consultants deliver low maintenance, energy
efficient designs within the built environment. Pre-defined 3D
representations can be dragged easily onto a building model.
BIM objects are also available for Windcatcher®, Cool-phase® and HTM®.

Part L Compliance & Electric Heating
Electric heating has a number of benefits over other fuels, for example
it has low capital and installation costs because it does not require any
pipework. But did you know it is often the simplest way to gain Part L
compliance?

Lot 20 & The Ecodesign Directive

From 1st January 2018, the minimum efficiency standard is changing for
electric heating. The aim of this legislation is to rule out inefficient
technologies and reduce the energy used by the products that heat UK Q-Rad Electric Radiator
homes, helping to achieve overall carbon reduction targets.
To gain compliance, electric heaters will need to have a digital thermostat
and seven-day timer as standard and benefit from the use of open window
technology and anticipatory delayed starting or distance control.

Lot 20 Compliant Electric Heaters

The Q-Rad electric radiator incorporates the most advanced technologies
to provide maximum comfort, benefitting from ‘Eco-start’ delayed
anticipatory control, dual-element and open window technology, and an
advanced touch control system containing a child lock.
The LST also boasts the above functionality, whilst also restricting its
surface temperature to 43°C, as recommended by NHS guidance notes
for use in specialist applications such as care and public facilities and
around the elderly or young children. Low Surface Temperature Electric Radiator

Electric Water Cylinders

With both standard unvented indirect and direct models, there is an
EC-Eau™ cylinder suitable for every application. Offering low running
costs, reliable hot water and fantastic flow rates, EC-Eau™ cylinders are
available in a wide range of capacities.
Environmental sensitivity and efficient performance are key attributes
across the EC-Eau™ range, which boasts 60mm of low GWP insulation
foam and innovative measures such as recessed immersions and
thermostats to reduce energy wastage. This combined with the use of
100% recyclable stainless steel inner components and a sleek black,

 50 - Domestic Ventilation Products
Vapour Flow
Vapour Flow designs, manufactures and supplies ventilation products for
the housing market. Based in Henley-on-Thames, we supply and install
all types of domestic ventilation products, from designer homes and
heritage sites, social housing through to high rise tower blocks. Our
experience in the industry over several decades continues to enable new
conception, design and development, with many of our features widely
adopted throughout the industry. We are technologically innovative and
bring products to market that are ahead of their time, but are based on
sound scientific principles. We are committed to green issues and offer
a wide range of products and solutions, from a single extractor fan through
to a full bespoke design specific to your needs.
BluRay Range
The BluRay range provides modern day control of all our equipment via
smartphone apps with Bluetooth connectivity. The Bluetooth fan range
has been developed to give the user increased control over the ventilation
units, whilst giving access to the incorporated data logger which provides
information on humidity levels, temperature and fan operation over a
period of time. The control is provided by using the VapourFlow App on
mobile devices. All units incorporate AutoStat Smart Humidity Controller
with Bluetooth Interface.
AutoStat
AutoStat is a Smart humidity controller that is based on absolute humidity,
rather than relative humidity. This results in a more meaningful
measurement of water content of air, with absolute humidity measuring
the water in g/m³ regardless of temperature. The AutoStat samples the
surrounding humidity environment, then stores and averages the results.
If any sudden increases, such as bathing or cooking occur, the AutoStat
will recognise this immediately. Another sample is taken after a few
minutes which is used to calculate a total running time for the ventilation
equipment to operate. This mechanism results in the ventilation period
being quantitative, resulting in much more consistent operation with the
system only working when required.
AutoFlow Valve
The AutoFlow Valve is a self-balancing air flow regulator that provides
set air flows at each port on ducted systems over a variable pressure
range. The system avoids time-consuming work on projects with
balancing communal ducting systems. It is also an effective way of saving
energy, as the AutoFlow Valve restricts the airflow and pressure through
the port, causing the air to naturally look for the next efficient route.
When each port has the AutoFlow Valve in place, the pressure is spread
equally to all the ports to ensure that each port is extracting at the same
constant rate. It optimises air flow rates at all times, reducing
condensation issues and improving air quality. Pre-set air flow levels are
chosen during the installation which are set between 9l/s and 19l/s. The
autonomous air valves harmonise the air flow with all the other air flow
valves in the same system, creating a continuous controlled environment
without further need to adjustment as each unit attenuates the air flow
dynamically in response to changing conditions. This translates to a
one-time installation.
PyroSafe Vent
The PyroSafe Vent is a smart vent, protecting smoke from spreading
through communal ventilation systems in a high-rise building. The
PyroSafe Vent is designed to inhibit the spread of smoke and fire through
communal duct systems by compartmentalising a dwelling when smoke
is detected, either from the dwelling or from the duct system. On smoke
detection or a rapid temperature increase, the unit will automatically close
the ventilation valve and activate the audible alarm. The audible alarm can
be stopped by the reset button; however, the valve will remain closed until
the smoke is cleared. In the event of a localised fire, the intumescent disc
will be activated, expand and close the duct further.
The integral A Smart humidity controller continually senses the
environment and during times of high humidity, compensates the smoke
detector to stop false alarms, due to smoke and water vapour particles
being similar sizes. This feature allows the device to be situated in
bathrooms and kitchens, as well as living areas. Bluetooth connectivity
allows for extensive remote testing of the unit. The onboard data logger
is also accessible via Bluetooth, allowing the user to download and then
email the relevant data to be filed.

Spirax Sarco
Are you experiencing sleepless nights trying to keep cost, efficiency and
productivity issues to a minimum? Perhaps you are you looking to:
• Reduce overall energy consumption
• Lower your plant’s carbon footprint
• Reduce risk & maintain safe operations
• Ensure consistent end-product quality
• Raise the productivity of processes
Let’s be honest, who isn’t interested in improving their operations in this
way? Well there are multiple ways you can extend or improve your
existing system – or even build a brand new system, if needs be – to help
you meet these goals.
1) Energy Measurement & Control: accurately and intelligently monitor Talk to us about how to meet your sustainability goals
and control energy to optimise your plant performance.
Accurate measurement is the start point of any successful control
scheme, including energy management. Precision flow meters and
control systems and valves, for example, can help you achieve effective
energy management, reduce risk and help ensure consistent product
quality.
2) Energy Conservation: reducing the heat consumed by your process
or application is vital to maximise the use of available energy.
Condensate handling and water management solutions, including
pre-treatment, can help you conserve energy.
3) Energy Transfer: precisely and effectively transferring heat between
fluids and process media.
There are many effective ways to deliver heat to your process or
application, including high efficiency heat exchanger systems (such as
our EasiHeat™), clean and pure steam generators, microturbines for
pressure reduction and bespoke energy transfer solutions.
Let us help you optimise your processes
4) Energy Recovery: re-using your system’s waste energy after a heat
transfer process.
Effective heat recovery is one of the most important ways to reduce your
fuel bills. Energy recovery solutions capture valuable energy in areas
such as condensate, boiler blowdown, flash steam, effluent and hot
exhaust gases.
5) Energy Storage: efficiently storing the excess or recovered energy
from your process.
You could be storing energy for use in your steam system or elsewhere
to meet process demand as efficiently as possible. Systems like
atmospheric and pressurised deaerators and steam accumulators help
you to store energy effectively.
6) Energy Services: providing expertise, knowledge and training to run
your steam and fluid systems at optimum efficiency and to mitigate risk.
Expert steam services include designing, installing and commissioning
plant, upgrading existing systems and proactive maintenance to optimise
performance. Join us at our UK Steam Technology Centre in Cheltenham for one of our steam engineering
training courses
Training for Success

Trace Heating Systems
Trace Heating - HWAT - Hot Water Temperature Maintenance

Hot Water Services Engineering in Today’s Environment

Building Engineers actively seek opportunities to reduce energy and
increase use of renewable sources of energy. Energy savings in centralised
hot water distribution systems are a critical focus for designers as a means
to reducing a building’s carbon footprint.
Traditional distribution of hot water throughout a building is the ‘flow &
return’ system of re-circulated Domestic Hot Water Systems (DHWS).
The return pipework is the means to get the water back to the water heater
to be reheated. This cumbersome solution adds significantly to the system
heat losses, increasing overall inefficiency of the system.
The increased pipework requirements add to the amount of building
materials required, putting additional constraint on packed roof voids and
risers whilst adding cost and waste.
The Raychem Hot Water Temperature Maintenance system (HWAT) offers
a simple, proven, energy-efficient replacement for re-circulated DHWS.
Rather than re-circulating the cooling water to be reheated, HWAT
compensates for the temperature loss in the pipe removing the need for
return pipework, fixings and insulation, whilst removing the energy losses
of the return pipework.
As a result of the heat loss compensation, the redundant return pipework
makes way for other vital building services. Raychem HWAT delivers
quality hot water where needed in the most efficient way, and reduces
material waste associated with older re-circulating methods.

of a Single Pipe System
Raychem provide a FREE OF CHARGE system comparison based on
specific project data. Let us prepare a detailed real project comparison
between re-circulating and single pipe hot water systems.

Increasing Building Safety with Low Smoke Zero Halogen

(LSZH) Cables for Pipe Freeze Protection
Successful fire safety design requires an understanding of fire source,
smoke movement, heat transfer to the building structure, detection, human
behavior and toxicity. These requirements must also comply with industry
regulations and regional standards. Although heat-tracing applications are
a small part of the overall building material mass, their performance in the
event of a fire should not be overlooked.
Raychem’s new pipe freeze protection self-regulating heating cables offer
full LSZH protection and provide:
Unparalleled building safety
• Up to 90% less smoke emissions: IEC61034-2 tested & compliant
• Zero halogen: IEC60754-1 tested & compliant
• Improved self-extinguishing properties under the IEC62395 flammability test

Refrigerant / Air Conditioning Gas Detection
Refrigerant gas leak detection has become a high priority for many
companies in this environmentally sensitive age, coupled with
responsibility concerning health and safety within buildings. The AquiTron
systems have become critical for many of the air conditioned and
refrigerated spaces to give building owners an early warning system to
minimise losses of valuable gases. Refrigerant gas detection within a hotel room and a server room
Why Refrigerant Gas Detection?
Refrigerant loss from air conditioning and refrigeration plant is not just
expensive, it can also be detrimental to health and safety and is
environmentally unacceptable.
15% refrigerant gas leak equates to 100% increase in energy consumption
to maintain the same room temperature
As electricity prices increase, ensuring you have an efficient fixed leak
detection system in occupied and critical areas is vital. Building owners
need to be compliant with the F-Gas Regulations and BS EN 378.
System designers can benefit from installing a fixed system under
BREEAM Pol 01 (Building Research Establishment’s Environmental
Assessment Method) which helps provide the best sustainable buildings.
Many projects have already benefited from the installation of AquiTron
systems which add vital credits to the scheme’s total.

 Waterdrop Loyalty Program - 61
Xylem’s unique Waterdrop loyalty program
provides once-in-a-lifetime experience, and
offers participants the opportunity to win a trip
to build water towers for communities in need.
According to water.org an estimated 842,000 people globally –
approximately 2,300 people per day – die every year of diseases caused
by inadequate sanitation and drinking water.
Xylem is continuing its mission to solve the world’s most critical water
challenges through Waterdrop – a first-of-its-kind loyalty program that
enables consulting engineers to bring safe, clean water to communities
in need, through their daily work.
Waterdrop participants collect water drops, or loyalty points, by learning
about, selecting or specifying Xylem products and services. For every
drop, Xylem will donate $1 dollar (USD) to build water towers for people
who lack access to a water supply. Each drop also serves as an entry in
a draw to win the experience of a lifetime – a volunteer trip to construct
and install these water towers.

Waterdrop Volunteer Trips

The first Waterdrop volunteer trip took place in 2015. Xylem took 14
volunteers from the UK, France and Germany to the Philippines for a week
to build two water towers – one at each of two elementary schools – each
tower serving nearly 1,000 young people, their families and the community.
Participants engaged in hard, physical work to construct and install the
towers, while also educating the children on the importance of clean water.
Waterdrop volunteer trips are made possible through a partnership with
Xylem Watermark, the company’s philanthropic corporate citizenship
program. The towers are designed for quick construction, one-day
installation and easy manual maintenance. They operate without power,
last up to 10 years, and use an Ultra Filtration filter to produce 10,000 litres
of clean water each day – enough to provide 1,000 people with sustainable
access to clean water.

About Waterdrop
Partners interested in getting involved must create an account with
buildings.xylem.com which also hosts a dedicated portal where
participants can track and collect water drops, and learn more about the
program plus upcoming activities.
Water drops (i.e. loyalty points) are earned by interacting with Xylem in
one or more of three ways:
• Learning about our products, services or tools by attending an online
course (1 water drop per chapter) or in-person training (30 water drops)
• Selecting Xylem products by having an active account for the
company’s selection software – Xylect (20 water drops)
• Specifying Xylem products into a project (20 water drops per
specification sent in)
Water drops collected from all participants define the number of water
towers that are built each year. Every drop earned is also an entry to win
a Waterdrop volunteer trip. This way, all future water towers donated from
the program will be built by Waterdrop members.
“There is no other loyalty program offered today that gives participants the
chance to make a lasting positive impact, the way Waterdrop does” says
Duncan Lewis, MD for Xylem UK & Ireland. “The benefits of getting
involved are exponential; the more our partners engage with us, the more
lives we can change together.”
The program transcends anything of its kind and creates an opportunity
that few companies can claim.

 64 - Vacuum Drainage Systems
EVDS
EVDS are the sole UK agent for Evac Vacuum Systems, which were first
introduced more than 40 years ago in building applications. Evac’s
vacuum technology has proven to be a winning combination of reliability
and durability. The Evac vacuum toilet solution minimises the use of fresh
water for toilet flushes. At the same time, it offers you ultimate freedom
of piping design. Additionally, the reuse of grey water contributes to a
small water footprint at your building.
Today EVDS are the premier supplier of vacuum systems to the UK
Building and Industrial markets, with most major supermarkets using Evac
Systems. Over 100 buildings in the UK are now equipped with a vacuum
drainage system, from space age hotel concepts such as Yotels,
high-tech laboratories like Diamond Light Source and everyday office
blocks for Vodafone to special buildings like St Pancras International
Railway Station and Heathrow T5.
Benefits of the Evac Solution
For building designers:
• Increased design flexibility
• No requirement for soil stacks or vents
• Pipes can be routed over & around obstacles
• Manufactured to European Standard ISO 9001 with BBA Certificate
• Opportunity for designers to earn LEED points for new building
For building owners:
• Less water required (only 1.2 litres per flush) = savings in water costs
• Less need for fresh water production, water treatment & storage
• Increased planning options
• Increased hygiene & better air movement in sanitary facilities
• No need for piping ventilation
For supermarkets:
• Flexible design & easy adjustment of future store plans
• Short construction schedules with minimum customer disruption
• No concrete & tile work when relocating or adding display cases
• Lower costs compared to under slab gravity waste piping
• No blocked drains & odours from under slab waste piping
• Quick & easy last minute floor plan adjustments
• Safe, reliable & easily maintained waste collection system
Vacuum Toilets
The Evac Vacuum Toilet looks like any conventional toilet, but instead of
relying on gravity it creates a powerful vacuum to flush the toilet. Water
consumption is very low – only 1.2 litres per flush. Because the operation
is purely pneumatic, no electrical connections are needed.
Vacuum Interface Units
The Vacuum Interface Unit is similar in operation to the Evac Vacuum
Toilet. The manually operated push button is replaced by an activator
which is triggered when a static head has been built up in the buffer water
tank. The whole operation is automatic and, once again, no electrical
connections are required. The Vacuum Interface Unit allows standard
bathroom and kitchen fittings to be connected to the Vacuum Drainage
System. The Interface Units are operated automatically and are installed
on the floor in a void space or overhead. The unit consists of a discharge
valve, activator, aerator and buffer tank or sump.
Vacuum Collection Units
The Vacuum Collection Unit creates the vacuum for the system and is
the only part of the system that consumes energy. It consists of a vacuum
tank, vacuum pumps, discharge pump and operating control panel. The
size and number of tanks and pumps depend on the size and type of the
project, number of toilets, frequency of use, etc.
Waste-Water Treatment Plants
Vacuum systems also lend themselves to the recycling of grey water.
Once again, the flexibility of the vacuum system allows you to bring all
the grey water from the building back to one location to be forwarded to
your treatment plant. Evac can offer a wide range of sewage treatment
plants from biological sewage treatment plants to membrane bio-reactors
for recycling grey water to be used as toilet flush and irrigation water or
the safe disposal of black water. The plants have been designed to
minimise technical problems and to maximise total process reliability.

68 - Chilled Beams Cooling & Heating Effects
Thermal Comfort Principles
How we experience the thermal indoor climate depends primarily on our overall heat exchange with the surroundings. A person’s thermal comfort is
affected by the following: ● air temperature ● radiant temperature
Thermal comfort is realised when a person feels in thermal balance i.e.
they are neither too hot nor too cold. In addition, there should be no
unwanted heating or cooling of individual exposed body areas (draughts
around the neck or the ankles). We primarily exchange heat to our
surroundings via ‘Convection’ and ‘Radiation’.
These two methods of transferring heat are approximately equal with
normal air movement in a room. Therefore, we are affected just as much
by the room’s surface temperatures as we are by the air temperature.
If the temperature of the room’s surface is decreased, fully or in part, the
air temperature can be increased by an amount corresponding to the
decrease in the room surface’s mean temperature. Therefore, when we
cool an environment with a radiant cooling device, the desired operative
temperature can be slightly higher. Vice versa, when we heat an
environment with a radiant heating device, the desired operative
temperature can be slightly lower, thus energy savings are available.
Thermal comfort is also affected by the velocity and temperature of any
air movement within the space. As a rule of thumb when cooling an indoor
environment with a room temperature of 24ºC, the air movement within
the space should not exceed 0.25 m/s.
Excessive air speeds cause (draughts) discomfort which is measured by
the Percentage People Dissatisfied (‘PPD’). The European standard for
such matters is ISO 7730: “Ergonomics of the Indoor Environment”.
Frenger always designs and selects its product solutions with thermal
comfort as a fundamental starting position before meeting the required
cooling and/or heating loads of the indoor environment.
Some companies just design or select their products to meet the cooling
and/or heating loads with little regard for thermal comfort, which can lead
to occupancy complaints even though the environment may be at the
design temperature. Usually this is due to high air velocities below the
cooling device ‘if passive’, or in-between cooling devices ‘if active’.
● relative humidity ● air velocity ● activity ● clothing
Frenger avoids such situations of high air velocities for passive chilled
beam solutions by having 40% of their cooling by ‘Radiant’ absorption
and the remaining 60% by convection (“X-Wing”). The radiant quotation
provides cooling without any air movement, hence the total cooling air
movement is approximately 35% lower air velocities than that of a
convective-only passive chilled beam (fin coil batteries are 95%
convective). Frenger also limits their total cooling capacities to 315
watts/linear meter for ‘Radiant’ passive chilled beams and 200
watts/linear meter if convective-only fin coil battery element, both of which
when concealed behind a perforated metal fascia and/or ceiling.
Frenger avoids such situations for high air velocities for active chilled
beam solutions by limiting the supply air discharge to not exceed 23
ltrs/sec/meter for a two-way discharge unit and through patented
registered designs. This creates the “Coanda” effect within the casing of
the product by means of a smooth (non-faceted) discharge curve and air
management discharge veins ‘AMDM’ mounted within the air chamber
at the point of discharge for a short fan shaped distribution pattern. This
short fan shaped distribution with the “Coanda” effect is particularly useful
when two or more active beams are positioned closer together than 3m,
as without such product features, care must be taken to avoid converging
air streams/turbulence intensity.
Frenger takes thermal comfort so seriously they have invested millions
of pounds in their UK Technical Facility to equip themselves with 3
Climatic Test Labs, 2 Photometric Lighting Labs and an Acoustic Sound
Laboratory to not only enable their R&D to be one step ahead of the
competition, but also to extensively test all disciplines (heating, cooling,
lighting and sound) of the products they develop and manufacture.
Frenger also gains secondary validation by using independent
laboratories for each discipline periodically. All of Frenger’s Chilled Beam
product performance have been independently tested and “Accredited”
by the EuroVent Certification Scheme.

Running Cost / Energy Use – Chilled Beams

There are several aspects of an active chilled beam system that promote a more energy efficient operation than air based systems such as fan coil units
and VAV. Typically, the chilled water is distributed to the chilled beams at 14-17ºC to minimise the risk of condensation, whereas fan coil units operate
typically at 6-12ºC. Elevated chilled water temperatures offer two principal benefits in terms of energy efficiency:
By operating the chiller plant at elevated temperatures, its co-efficient of performance (COP) is increased and energy consumption reduced. The efficiency
of the compressor can be increased by using a dry cooling system (inlet water 14ºC instead of 7ºC) with a percentage increase in COP of typically 22%.
Elevated temperatures enable a significant increase in the opportunity to avail free cooling from sources such as outdoor air or ground water heat sinks.
That is an annual increase from 800 hours to 2000 hours for a 12 hour day and 2100 to 5200 hours for 24 hour operation.
Fan coil units and VAV systems rely on a fan assisted cooling distribution; that is each fan coil unit incorporates a fan. Chilled beam systems utilise a
centralised fan that can be sized to deliver the amount of air to meet respiratory requirements (not additional air to compensate for cooling loads); with
a consequent reduction in capital cost, electricity consumption and maintenance cost.

 AET’s Under Floor Air Conditioning - 69
AET Flexible Space UFAC systems utilise the plenum beneath a raised floor as the ventilation zone. We offer systems with return air at floor level or
return air at high level. All our units are now available with AC or EC fans and we can offer bespoke system designs and control options. Recent product
developments include CAM – Direct Expansion down flow unit, Flexvisor remote monitoring and the newly launched FlexTouch wall mounted controller
for enhanced user control.

Option 1:
CAM-C System: floor level supply air, floor level
return air
The CAM-C system makes use of the raised floor void for the distribution
and return of air. CAM-C down flow units are located throughout the office
space to serve each zone and provide conditioned air locally to suit the
requirements of the space. Within the floor void, flexible baffle material
segregates zones into supply and return plena. A Constant or Variable
Air Volume system operating at variable temperature supply using our
high capacity terminals for maximum free cooling. This option is most
suited to refurbishments with limited headroom or achieving height savings
in new builds.

Option 2:
CAM-V System: floor level supply air, high level
return air
The CAM-V system makes use of the raised floor void for the distribution
of supply air and draw spent return air back at high level, either within the
space or via a return air plenum. CAM-V down flow units are located
throughout the office space to serve each zone and provide conditioned
air locally to suit the requirements of the space. A Variable Air Volume
system operating at variable temperature supply using our high capacity
terminals for maximum free cooling. This option is most suitable for space
that has a high rate of churn. Reconfiguration of workspace is fast and
easy as the return air is high level and there is no division of the plenum.

 Daikin UK - Case Study - 71
Silence is cool for audio retailer’s air conditioning
selection
It’s so quiet – that was the first reaction of a high-end audio and video
equipment retailer after his shop became the first user of a Daikin Sky Air
R32 air conditioning system with a Seasonal Smart High COP Roundflow
cassette indoor unit.

The system is part of Daikin’s Bluevolution range, featuring the lower global
warming potential refrigerant R32.

Paul Blake, director of the Bang & Olufsen selected dealership at

Bexleyheath, South East London, says the new system is so good that his
family business is now considering upgrading to the same equipment for
its other four B&O outlets in Cambridge and the South East.

In a business where audio quality is the keyword, it is important to keep

extraneous sound to the minimum. However, with bright lights and
electronic equipment at work all day, it is also essential to keep things cool.

“For us, it is all about the customer experience” says Paul Blake. “It is the
only way you can achieve on the high street – if you cannot win them over
in the showroom, you will lose them to the internet.”

“The old system had become quite noisy, so we had to switch it off every
time we did an audio demonstration. That was not good for the customer
experience. Without air conditioning, the temperature inside the shop could
reach an unbearable 40°C in high summer.”

“With the new system, everyone is comfortable – as we proved during a

recent event with more than 40 people packed into the shop.”

The Bexleyheath business has enjoyed a long association with Daikin.

Founded in 1989, it moved to its current premises on Broadway in 1996.

As part of the fit-out for the new store, a Daikin R22 split system – then
state-of-the-art technology – was installed.

Coulsdon-based Daikin installer Technicool Air Conditioning took less than

a day to remove the old components and fit the new 7kW system.

Technicool’s Spencer Johnson says: “It was a simple installation – even

with replacement of the refrigerant pipework. It was less than 10 metres
between the indoor and outdoor units, and the pipe run was easily
accessible. The outdoor unit comes pre-charged with refrigerant, which
also saved time.”

“As it was the first of its type, a Daikin engineer was on site the following
day to check the installation and formally commission the system.”

Paul Blake says “A customer originally recommended Daikin, and we felt

that having the best in air conditioning was in keeping the B&O brand
image. The old system served us well – and 20 years is a pretty impressive
service life.”

“We had no hesitation in staying with Daikin for the new system. With R32
being the current front-runner in refrigerants, we are confident that we are
future-proofed for most – if not all – of the next 20 years.”

Daikin’s R32 Bluevolution range includes Sky Air and Split systems and
offers future-proof and affordable air conditioning solutions. These are
quick and easy to install – with reduced leak-check requirements and the
latest technology.

The new range provides the highest Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio
(SEER) and Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) ratings, offering
improved energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.

The Bluevolution range is part of Daikin’s response to the F-Gas legislation,

which involves a phase-down of hydrofluorocarbons and a move to more
environment-friendly refrigerants.

Advantages: The EER enables comparable products to be benchmarked
against one another for efficiency.
Disadvantages: Currently EER figures only cover the performance of the
unit at one specific condition, at which the chiller may operate for less than
1% of its lifetime. Some chillers will perform better at low load and/or
ambient conditions, but this is not reflected in the traditional EER value.
2 European Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ESEER)
The ESEER is a weighted formula taking into account the variation of EER
with the load requirement and change in ambient temperature. The ESEER
calculates a unit’s yearly energy efficiency based, in the case of an air
cooled packaged chiller at nominal conditions of 7/12ºC water, 35ºC
ambient, on a small range of ambient temperatures.
The higher the ESEER, the more efficient the chiller in a European ambient
profile. The calculation equation is:
ESEER = A*EER100% + B*EER75% + C*EER50% + D*EER25%
Advantages: True representation of the energy efficiency of a free-cooling
chiller.
Disadvantages: Currently only limited use by the industry.
Alternative Energy Efficiency Standards
Apart from the standards applied by Airedale, we do recognise that there
are alternative standards available, such as:
1) Integrated Part Load Value, known as IPLV, is similar to ESEER, but
applies different weighting factors, giving an apparent higher efficiency
value than ESEER - an advantage to those manufacturers using IPLV. It
has similar disadvantages to ESEER.
2) Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER): allows another comparison
to be made on the annual efficiency of the system, similar to ESEER. What
differentiates this calculation is the ability to modify the weighting
coefficients of a known load profile to make the resultant SEER more
representative of a particular application. The ambient and water conditions
are the same as an ESEER.

Dynamic set point c/w HWT = great performance

Dynamic Set Point (DSP) is a free cooling CW HVAC control solution that is weather compensated and IT load compensated, automatically optimising
the chilled water outlet temperature, maximising energy efficiency and reducing carbon footprint by ensuring the highest amount of free cooling is achieved
all year round. The standard DSP offering consists of one external chiller connected to two internal cooling units. This can consist of varying cooling
load outputs depending on your load requirements: We offer 100kW, 250kW or 375kW chiller capacity steps with internal CRAC unit steps of 50kW,
125kW and 187.5kW.
Larger solutions can also be provided with the option for communicating between multiple large chillers. We have raised the bar in traditional data centre
CW CRAC free cooling methods, increasing efficiency.
• A new chiller control algorithm has been developed, affording maximum efficiency across the widest spectrum of operating conditions.
• DSP not only looks at raising CHW temperatures but also looks at the efficiency operating characteristics of each on CRAC unit board compressor,
guaranteeing that each compressor works at its peak performance as opposed to other systems whereby each compressor is loaded up once the
full load is reached per circuit.

80 - VRF Air Conditioning
Technology within LG’s Multi V 5 VRF System
Dual Sensing Control
One of the most impressive features of LG’s MULTI V 5 is its Dual Sensing Control which helps the air conditioning unit evaluate climate conditions down
to the smallest detail. Unlike conventional air conditioners which only track temperature, the MULTI V 5 measures both temperature and humidity levels
for outdoor and indoor environments. This comprehensive understanding of multiple climate conditions helps the solution determine its parameters in
order to achieve optimal energy efficiency and maximum indoor comfort levels.
Efficient systems like Smart Load Control makes it possible to control outdoor unit discharge refrigerant temperature, increasing energy efficiency anywhere
from 15 to 31% depending on humidity conditions. Typical VRFs normally fluctuate considerably in order to maintain a set indoor temperature, making
them highly inefficient. The MULTI V 5’s Dual Sensing Control also has a Comfort Cooling function which maintains operation around the desired
temperature, delivering maximum user comfort.
Ultimate Inverter Compressor
The LG MULTI V 5’s new Ultimate Inverter Compressor offers unrivaled efficiency, reliability and durability. Improving on the 15 to 150 Hz operational
range of its predecessor, it operates from 10 Hz to 165 Hz. This widened range increases part load efficiency and enhances the MULTI V 5’s ability to
quickly reach the desired temperature.
The MULTI V 5 features an enhanced bearing system layered with PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) – an advanced material normally used in airplane
engines – this efficient infrastructure allows the MULTI V 5 to operate for sustained periods without any oil. In addition, the MULTI V 5’s Smart Oil
Management uses sensors to check the compressor's oil balance in real time, minimising unnecessary oil recovery operation.
Large Capacity ODU
With an innovative biomimetic fan, 4-sided heat exchanger, and improved compressor performance, the
MULTI V 5’s efficiency and capacity have each been enhanced, making it possible for a single ODU to
reach 26 HP. Utilising research from the Seoul National University’s Department of Mechanical and Humpback Whale
Aerospace Engineering, the engineers behind the MULTI V 5 drew on inspiration from humpback whale Design
flippers when designing the fan. Moreover, the solution's advanced biomimetic fan significantly increases
wind capacity.
Ocean Black Fin
Equipped with LG’s exclusive Ocean Black Fin, the MULTI V 5 is protected from corrosive substances
Clam Shell
such as salt, sand and other elements brought in by sea winds as well as industrial pollution. The black
Pattern
coating of the Ocean Black Fin heat exchanger keeps water from accumulating in order to minimise
moisture build up. This durability enhancement prolongs the product's lifespan and lowers maintenance
costs, paving the way for improved performance.
Active Refrigerant Control
LG’s Active Refrigerant Control automatically regulates the amount of refrigerant circulating each cycle.
Thanks to its ability to increase the flow of refrigerant incrementally, this precise five-step system leads to a 3% improvement in energy efficiency.

 Gilberts Natural Ventilation Systems - 81
Natural ventilation, unlike mechanical fan forced ventilation, simply uses the naturally occurring pressure
differential forces of air movement, wind and buoyancy to deliver a steady supply of fresh air for building ventilation
and space cooling.
In an age where energy conservation is at a premium, this sounds ideal… And so it is!
Naturally ventilating a building can offer the best of both worlds, combining little or no energy consumption with
low capital costs, whilst still providing adequate fresh air and comfort temperature conditions throughout the year.
With plant room also eliminated, services space minimised and lower servicing/maintenance costs, natural
ventilation now makes for one of the most practical choices of the day.
Natural Ventilation Strategies
Gilberts’ Mistrale is designed to satisfy wind driven, buoyancy (stack effect) and hybrid wall or façade ventilation
design strategies.
Stack Effect
A conventional solution where a vertical stack or shaft can be used to allow warmer air to naturally migrate and rise through the building up to high level
outlets whilst drawing fresh, cool air in from low level.
Wind Effect
In some locations and building designs, wind alone can be used as the principal driving force. In wind driven systems, the air on the windward side of the
building creates positive pressure with a corresponding negative pressure generated on the leeward side. Using this effect, air can be more easily drawn
through the building.
Stack Driven Wind Driven Fusion Mixed Effect
One of the latest innovations in ventilation is our new design Fusion

82 - Heat Pumps for Heating
Legislation & ErP
Ecodan®, the award-winning renewable air source heat pump system,
provides domestic and commercial heating and hot water, cutting annual
fuel bills and CO2 emissions.
The Energy Related Products (ErP) Directive requires all space and water
heating products to display an energy label to identify the most energy
efficient products available. The Ecodan range has achieved the highest
space heating band of an A++ rating.
Ecodan is ideal for both new-build and retro-fit projects where the property
has been thermally upgraded, making Ecodan suitable for most UK
properties.
Meeting Domestic Mass Market Needs
If society is to find sustainable alternatives to traditional gas and oil
heating, products must be delivered that are flexible in design, easy for
skilled engineers to install and straightforward for building operators to use.
Ecodan has been specifically designed to answer these needs, with a
range that offers the ability to provide heating from 4kW to 14kW for both
residential and commercial application as well as in new-build and retro-fit
situations.
The fifth generation of Ecodan includes a new range of cylinders using a
completely new way of heating the water in domestic situations, with a
plate heat exchanger and patented Scale-Stop technology to eliminate
the effect of limescale.
All of the developments have focused on improving hot water recovery
efficiency and time, and ease of installation and use.
Mitsubishi Electric has also introduced remote energy monitoring on every
Ecodan that leaves the factory, with the company believing that this is key
to demonstrating the effectiveness of heat pumps and helping home
owners qualify for incentive payments.
The range offers three different options for homeowners:
Standard Level which is pre-installed at the factory, offering remote
energy monitoring using partial estimation of energy use;
Level Two which includes the addition of an electric meter;
Level Three which adds a Metering and Monitoring Service Package
(MMSP) heat meter, enabling homeowners to receive an additional RHI
payment of £230 per year for seven years.
Ecodan is not only providing the heating for the Rhino Pool at Edinburgh
Zoo, it is also acting as a community heating system for 24 flats for a
homeless charity in London and is being specified in more projects as the
full potential of the product’s adaptability is realised.
The Ecodan CAHV heat pump boiler system delivers reliable heating with
design flexibility and comes in units of 43kW (@ -3ºC), to offer space
heating and sanitary hot water up to 70ºC. It is also available with multiple
unit control to provide 688kW of renewable heating.
District & Community Heating
Ecodan is being used to deliver community heating to the multi award-
winning Kingston Heights project, which sees 132 apartments and a
142-bed hotel get their renewable heating from the River Thames.
For situations offering the scope for water or ground source heat pumps,
Ecodan offers up to 960kW of renewable heating and water flow
temperatures of up to 65ºC.
In addition to being suitable for water-source application such as rivers
and aquifers plus ground source, whether through slinkies or boreholes,
the system can take waste heat from server cooling or industrial process.
Ecodan® Heat Pumps
Ecodan harvests renewable energy from the outdoor air, ground or open
water and upgrades it to provide heating and hot water for homes and
commercial properties.
With Ecodan, for every 1kW of energy fed in, you get at least 3.2kW of
heat energy out, because the air source heat pump harvests at least
2.2kW of renewable energy from the ambient air. This gives Ecodan an
average Co-efficient Of Performance (COP) of 3.2 across the year.
Unlike many other air source heat pumps, Ecodan’s advanced inverter
controls regulate the energy consumption to ensure that Ecodan only
consumes the exact energy needed at any given time to give a constant
supply of hot water and heating. This also makes Ecodan super quiet –
reflected in the fact that it has received the official backing of the Noise
Abatement Society which has awarded a ‘Quiet Mark’ of approval to the
domestic heating range.

High Efficiency for New-Build

A new domestic Ecodan 4kW unit has been developed specifically to meet
the demands of modern homebuilding techniques.
The unique design of the Ecodan QUHZ air source heat pump delivers
efficient hot water whilst still providing renewable heating to answer the
high hot water, low heating requirement of highly insulated homes.

Commercial Heating
Designed specifically for use in commercial properties, our larger
renewable Ecodan products (CAHV and CRHV) use proven heat pump
technology to deliver effective low carbon heating, providing a simple
solution that can replace traditional systems.
Heating accounts for more than half of the total energy consumed by an
average commercial property, so this is the obvious area to target to make
the required difference.
The products are now proving themselves in schools, offices, showrooms,
in farming and in almost any situation calling for reliable, renewable
heating.

 Air Conditioning, Ventilation & Controls - 83
Building the UK’s Greener Future
Radical change to how we produce and consume energy is required as the
nation’s fossil-fuel supplies dwindle, along with our energy independence.
Other key drivers, from climate change and fuel poverty, to Government
legislation and increasing consumer pressure, are also at work.
Commercial building stocks – characterised by a disproportionate number
of old structures and a slow rebuild rate – remain massive consumers of
energy. To reach the ambitious emission reduction targets the UK has set
itself, our occupied spaces must be made more energy-efficient, less
carbon intensive and incorporate renewable energy where possible.
The good news is that many of the solutions are affordable, scalable and
available now.
Modern air conditioning is an ideal way of controlling the internal
environment of any building, large or small. It does not only provide cooling
when required, but also heating and often hot water can be supplied from
the same system.
Providing heating and hot water as part of an integrated air conditioning
system is far more efficient than traditional heating methods such as gas,
and as a result reduced running costs and emissions can be realised.
Advanced Air Conditioning
Mitsubishi Electric has one of the largest ranges of small, medium and
large air conditioning systems available on the market, to provide
advanced environmental control to almost any building.
The company’s City Multi VRF range not only has higher seasonal
efficiencies, but can also allow operators to optimise control of their system
based on either heating demand or energy efficiency with the new High
Performance Heating and COP Priority modes.
Less Refrigerant in Occupied Spaces
The Hybrid VRF (HVRF) range uses water to transfer heating or cooling to
occupied spaces, combining the function of a 4-pipe fan coil system with
the efficiency and flexibility of VRF air conditioning in one system.
The system utilises a unique hybrid branch controller box to provide
simultaneous heating and cooling in a simplified, two-pipe design.
The HVRF operates without using refrigerant in occupied spaces,
removing the need for leak detection equipment and allowing more
properties to take advantage of phased installation through the system's
modular design.
WR2/WY Series Ground Source Heat Pumps
Mitsubishi Electric’s water cooled City Multi range is listed on the
Government's renewable energy list.
Tests at the company’s Hatfield headquarters have proven that this
technology is 300% more efficient at heating and cooling an office than a
traditional gas-fired boiler and rooftop chiller combination. The systems
can be integrated with ground loops and boreholes to use the geothermal
energy of the earth like a battery to store heating and cooling energy.
A Comprehensive Chiller Range
With the acquisition of the Climaveneta range, Mitsubishi Electric is now
able to offer the UK market a comprehensive range of advanced, bespoke,
of air source and water cooled chillers able to suit almost any application.
The addition of the RC Group also means that we are able to supply high
performance and dedicated IT cooling systems with low running costs and
emissions, backed up by superb technical support.
A Modern Update to Chillers
The E-Series chiller range delivers a unique modular approach to chiller
technology in cooling-only, heating-only and heat pump modules. Offering
capacities from 90kW to 540kW, larger systems can also be built with
service space requirements of only 900mm.
Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation
Lossnay’s simultaneous air exhaust to air supply heat transfer element
provides effective ventilation with total heat recovery (sensible and latent),
providing a comfortable air temperature and environment within the room.
The energy saved by using Lossnay contributes towards lowering the
running costs and minimising the size of air conditioning systems needed.
Both residential (DC Lossnay) and commercial (Lossnay RVX) are
available, giving Mitsubishi Electric a ventilation solution for any type of
building application.
Advanced Controls & Internet Access
Mitsubishi Electric’s controls package is one of the strongest controls
product ranges on the market and includes the widest range of BEMS
interfaces in the industry, including BACnet, Modbus, LonWorks and Trend
for both VRF and split systems. Cloud-based control for a wide range of
the systems on offer from Mitsubishi Electric is also available with the
MELCloud App which provides users with effortless control of their air
conditioning via a wide range of PC, Tablets and Smartphones.
The company has also developed sector-specific control solutions with the
MELCotel Hotel Interface – a unique product which can control up to 250
hotel rooms with or without the integration of a key card system.
The controller offers functionality such as night setback, temperature
adjustment and window contact control, all of which provide a higher level
of control, therefore more energy saving and a reduction in running costs.
The AE200 centralised controller offers a large 9-inch touch screen display
with easy control of up to 50 indoor units. The controller also has features
such as annual and weekly schedules, night setback, optimised start and
refrigerant status function to name a few.

R22 Replacement
Both the City Multi and Mr Slim ranges of air conditioning systems offer the
ability to replace and update antiquated R22 models often using existing
pipework to allow replacement in days rather than weeks.
With both heat pump and heat recovery versions available, the Replace
range allows older, less efficient air conditioning systems to be upgraded
to some of the most efficient units available on the market.

requirements. This has a significant impact on

However, there are some exceptions; generally, if
there is a mechanical extract, the rule of thumb
should be to incorporate a Heat Recovery
Systems (HRS).
Within traditional systems in the UK, there has been a large use of free cooling mixing arrangements coupled with air quality management to provide energy
efficient air systems. However, under the new regulations, standard mixing is no longer considered efficient heat recovery. Heat Recovery Systems are now
needed on most supply and extract systems.
The second area to impact on existing heat recovery systems is the increased efficiency requirements, which for Run Around Coil Systems has become a
real challenge. Heat Recovery Efficiencies within the new legislation are also due to increase further in 2018 and when compared to the previous UK
guidelines from Part L, the new standards have imposed significant increases:
Minimum Dry Efficiency Part L Eco-design from Jan 16 Eco-design from Jan 18
Plate Heat Exchanger 50% 67% 73%
Heat Wheel 65% 67% 73%
Run Around Coils 45% 63% 68%
The new regulation also requires that all HRS systems shall have a thermal bypass facility.
For the calculation of HRS system devices installed within AHUs, the standard requires that the efficiency of the HR device is based on equal air flows and
dry conditions. Most operational conditions generally have a degree of latent heat energy within either the supply or extract airstream and many systems
have unbalanced airflow between supply and extract. However, the heat recovery device needs to be selected at the operational conditions with an iteration
of proving calculations then conducted that simulate equal flow and dry conditions to meet the ERP Directive. Daikin Applied can run these calculations on
all AHU selections.
The efficiency of the HRS based on dry conditions will also require a higher efficiency device to meet dry conditions. This then increases the heat transfer
surfaces of the device with resultant increases in cost and operating pressures which will need to be mitigated to maintain SFP levels. This then can become
a vicious circle of increased efficiency/pressure drop and/or increased size to reduce velocity and pressure drop while maintaining SFP levels. This is now
making the optimisation of AHU selection critical in all applications.
Daikin Applied has more detailed information for all aspects on the application of the standard relative to AHUs. The continuing
development of Eco-design in UK building design standards with new chiller targets for efficiency will be released from 2018
onwards. Daikin Applied can assist in all aspects of the HVAC system design.

 Daikin Applied Chillers - 85
Efficiency in Chillers
The evolution of a chiller has come a long way since the first ice production thermal storage machines from over 100 years ago, with a number of significant
technological advances that mean chillers being supplied to the market today are more efficient than ever. In more recent times, the introduction of inverter
technology to chillers such as those using screw compressors has seen a 15% increase in capacity and a 25% increase in efficiency for reduction in cost
profile and all for a similar footprint chiller when compared to just five years ago.
Choosing inverter technology in chillers offers the best efficiency at full load and part load conditions, offering a rapid return on investment. The Daikin
inverter screw solutions offer some key benefits, including:
• Perfect comfort level provided with infinitely variable load regulation for precise leaving water temperature control thanks
to step-less regulation
• Compact footprint without compromise on duty output or efficiency
• Ultra quiet operation down to 67dB(A) sound pressure power at full load & even lower at part load thanks to enhanced
acoustic solutions
• Unrivalled & proven reliability through extensive testing of chillers & components in laboratories, Daikin factories & selected job sites – even at extreme
working conditions
• Reduced inrush currents & high displacement power factor correction

Ecodesign – New Efficiency Targets

Whilst the advances in chiller technology have been primarily driven by market demands and manufacturers’ desire for continuous product development,
efficiency targets are set to rise further. With building cooling demands ever increasing, central chiller plant is essential to meet client demands however
HVAC machineries contribute to greenhouse gas emissions via the following:
• INDIRECT emissions – linked with the machinery power consumption (and energy efficiency) EU Countermeasure: Ecodesign Directive
• DIRECT emissions – due to possible leakages of refrigerant into the atmosphere EU Countermeasure is F-GAS Regulation
These countermeasures will be what drives chiller technology advancement over the coming years and are what should be considered when designing
HVAC plant within buildings.
Direct emissions have been under regulation for some time and are largely unchanged in recent times with F-gas requirements for refrigerant handling,
chiller leak detection and regular inspection regimes now common place in the market. These will continue to drive the reduction in direct emissions of
refrigerant gases into the atmosphere.
The indirect emissions will be coming under a new legislation countermeasure to enhance the efficiency of equipment supplied to the market. The Ecodesign
requirements are in a number of elements – firstly is the new European benchmark calculation for efficiency, to be known as SEER, under EN14825. This
will undoubtedly cause some understandable confusion in the market as today we already have both ESEER and SEER for Part L calculations for chiller
efficiency. The European Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ESEER) has been the standard European benchmark calculation nearly 10 years and is a
weighted formula considering the variation of chiller efficiency (EER) with the partial load and variation of air inlet condenser temperatures. The calculation
method is as follows:
Air Water Weighting Factors

A=EER at 100% 35.0°C 12.0 / 7.0°C 3%

B=EER at 75% 30.0°C 10.75 / 7.0°C 33%

C=EER at 50% 25.0°C 9.5 / 7.0°C 41%

D=EER at 25% 20.0°C 8.25/ 7.0°C 23%

ESSER = 0.03A + 0.33B + 0.14C + 0.23D

Table 1:ESEER Calculation Methodology

The more recent index used in the UK is the SEER which follows the same calculation method as ESEER, however can look at more localised ambient
weather data which for the UK can offer lower average ambient temperatures when compared with the ESEER. Also building bespoke part load data, if
known, can be used in the SEER calculation. With both potential reduction in ambient and change in load profile leads to a more tailored SEER calculation
and higher SEER result for your building, but as it is not a fixed set of conditions it makes comparing two different chiller efficiencies extremely difficult. The
potential confusion in the market will be with the new SEER (EN14825) which is a benchmark figure as dedicated by a new calculation method.
The new SEER calculation is important as this is the benchmark figure used in definition of Ecodesign Lot 21 for cooling only chillers. Lot 21 is the critical
minimum design efficiency legislation that all chillers will have to meet in order to be sold in the European market. Ecodesign comes into force on the 1st
January 2018 and sets out minimum chiller efficiency targets the requirements to be met and a tiered implementation structure.

Why is Ecodesign – Lot 21 Important for the Market? What Does it Mean for Different Chillers?
Ecodesign is in force for all chillers sold into the EU from the 1st January 2018. Any chiller not meeting the Tier 1 requirements by this date will not be able
to be supplied to the market. It is important for 3 main aspects:
1 HVAC equipment suppliers need to ensure that any chillers supplied meet these standards and have a duty to inform the market to of the new
requirements and design based around the standards.
2 Consulting engineers and designers need to ensure that all design works from 2018 & 2021 onwards, as design based on chillers meeting these
minimum efficiency standards.
3 Contractors will need to ensure that any procurement of equipment that is to be shipped to site after the enforcement dates will meet the standard.
The Ecodesign will gradually eliminate low efficiency products from the market whilst driving manufacturers to enhance existing product ranges to meet the
upcoming benchmarks. The solution that will be at the forefront of design will be the inverter chiller solution.

 Fire Safety - Pressurisation - 87
Every day, millions of people work, live and entertain in buildings
and need to be protected with air management in case of fire.
You can protect the building and the lives of the occupants using fire
safety systems. The object of any fire safety system is to prevent the
uncontrolled spread of smoke and to remove smoke to improve conditions
for escape or fire brigade access.
Smoke extraction is also used after a fire to remove smoke residue in
the air and minimise the effect of smoke damage.
Fire & Smoke Dampers
Self-closing fire and smoke dampers are a well-known way of preventing
the spread of smoke and fire via ventilation ducts across separation lines.
Fläkt Woods’ fire and smoke control dampers as shown below are reliable
and tested according to EN 1751, EN 1366-2 and EN 13501-3. They are
also tested according to the EN standards for their specific use.
CE markings for fire dampers are in compliance with product standard
EN 15650:2010 and Construction Product Directive 89/106/EC.
Fläkt Woods’ range of dampers include both fusible link versions and
actuator versions for improved response time.
We have found that fusible linked sensitivity becomes reduced the further
away from the fire zone the damper is located, whereas an actuator linked
to an in-duct smoke sensor will close at the first sign of fire, maintaining
the building compartmentation.
Fire Valves
Fläkt Woods’ KSOF fire valve is a fusible link operated extract valve used
to prevent the spread of smoke from a room into duct systems.
KSOF is CE marked based on product standard EN 15650:2010 and
tested according to test standard EN 1366-2.
Mechanical Smoke Control
Natural smoke shafts originated from
research carried out by BRE in 2002.
However, these systems require a
large 1.2m² smoke shaft which can be
difficult to fit in tight, urban residential
builds. This led to the development of
mechanically ventilated shafts to
provide both firefighting and means of
escape protection.
Unlike natural shafts or pressurisation
systems, mechanical smoke shafts do not yet appear in the Building
Regulations and are treated as a fire safety engineered approach.
The following regulations are used as guidance for the development of
this design, with CFD modelling used to back up the calculations:
• Approved Document B (ADB) of the Building Regulations is applied
to the stairwell ventilators, lobby ventilators, system triggering method
and ventilator-free area measurement;
• European Standard 12101 Parts 6, 7, 9 and 10 are referenced for
fans, ducts, control equipment and power supplies;
• PD 7974-6:2004 - The application of fire safety engineering principles
to fire safety design of buildings;
• Smoke Control to Common Escape Routes in Apartment Buildings,
published in 2012, offers a comprehensive guide to smoke shaft
applications for residential buildings.
After more than five years of common usage, there is a bank of data
available to inform such selection for most buildings, particularly
residential developments where one lobby is very like another.
At Fläkt Woods, we have available data from dozens of models and have
aggregated this into a matrix to develop suggested extract rates for simple
buildings. With this data developed an easy guide to select the extract
fans, lobby vents, stair vents, controls sensors and power supplies
necessary to have a workable solution.

Smoke Shaft System.

Aesthetics are a priority during design, so all

Britstream products look better, cleaner, brighter and
proportionally correct for the environment.
Functional efficiency is paramount and our product
range incorporates innovative concepts which help
reduce onward running costs in a myriad of ways.
The range has been carefully designed to provide
integral rigidity and to be self supporting – even when
disassembled for transportation, so reducing the
risks of damage in transit.

Britannia also offers the Ultrastream range of

Specifications & Useful Data
Sizing Canopies
Typically, the underside of a canopy should be between 2000mm and
2100mm above fixed floor level (AFFL). Note: Instances where canopies
are to be mounted higher than this, the overhang dimensions should be
increased by 100mm for every 100mm above 2100mm AFFL.
When determining the plan dimensions of any canopy, it is important that
it is large enough to provide adequate overhang to the cooking equipment.
Typically, overhangs to allow are 300mm to each free side.
Note: For certain types of steaming appliances and baking ovens, this
should be increased to a minimum of 600mm to cope with the opening
arc of the appliance door.

Calculating Extract Duties

According to HVCA DW/172 Specification for Kitchen Ventilation Systems
‘The Thermal Convection Method’ of calculation should be the only
method used.
Other methods have been included in this document (DW/172) for use
only when insufficient information is available at the ‘design stage’.

Thermal Convection Method

This method follows the procedure covered in the CIBSE “Guide B”
expanded to include a wider range of equipment and works on the
principle of each appliance having an allocated thermal convection
co-efficient (air to be extracted in m³/s per m² of appliance) which are
then totalled and then ‘factored’ for the type of canopy proposed.

Face Velocity Method

This is a provisional method when there is insufficient information to
enable a calculation by the Thermal Convection Method.
This method works by multiplying a ‘notional’ capture velocity, in m/s, to
the total plan area of the proposed canopy, in m².
Light loading – 0.25m/s
Typically steaming ovens, boiling pans, bains marie and stock-pot stoves.
Medium loading – 0.35m/s
Typically deep fat fryers, bratt pans, solid and open top ranges and
griddles.
Heavy loading – 0.5m/s
Typically chargrills, mesquite and specialist broiler units.

Air Change Method

This is a provisional method when there is insufficient information to
enable a calculation by the Thermal Convection Method.
These can vary widely dependent on a number of factors and therefore
not recommended as a method of calculation.
Whilst 40 air changes per hour should be taken as a minimum for comfort,
in the absence of any other information, it is not unusual for rates as high
as 60 to 120 to be encountered when high output equipment is densely
located into a relatively small kitchen area.

Materials
According to HVCA DW/172 Specification for Kitchen Ventilation Systems
“The only material to be used in the fabrication of canopies, in accordance
with this specification shall be type 304 ultra fine grained stainless steel”.

The Science of Cold Draughts
We are often told by consultants, clients and engineers that the two main
problems with natural ventilation are cold draughts or the high-energy
usage previously associated with alleviating the draughts. We agree and
that is where the E-Stack® natural ventilation system comes into its own.
Using our patented mixing system, we introduce turbulence to promote
mixing and thereby mitigate the cold draughts in a low energy way, utilising
the heat gains in the space. But many in the industry ask just how much
mixing you can get from a louvre or opening window at high level.
The over-riding conclusion is that if you want to ensure fresh air reaches
occupants no colder than 16ºC, opening windows are fine, but only when
the exterior temperature is above 13-14ºC. However, as we spend so
much of the time in the UK with external temperatures below this level,
then unfortunately the opening window strategy won’t work – you will get
cold draughts.
This is part of the reason many schools which just have opening windows
are simply not ventilated in winter. The research findings in 2005 of the
Building Research Establishment, who studied 8 primary schools with
opening windows, found that in winter more than half the fresh air rates
were below the minimum required.
Something else is needed – hence why the E-Stack® natural ventilation
system was developed.

94 - Cool-phase® Natural Cooling & Low Energy Ventilation System
Cool-phase® is a natural cooling and low energy ventilation system that has been shown to reduce energy consumption by up to 90%, as well as creating
a fresh and healthy indoor environment.
The system uses a thermal energy store utilising a Phase Change Material (PCM) in combination with intelligently controlled ventilation to actively ventilate,
cool and heat the building.
The material inside each unit is charged and discharged by passing air over a heat exchanger. Cool-phase® is a unique offering in that it is able to meet
building regulation requirements for thermal comfort, ventilation and energy efficiency in a single easy to retrofit system.
Since no compressors or hazardous coolants are used, the system does not fall foul of the servicing requirements and statutory checks required of air
conditioning systems, further reducing running costs.
In the summer, Cool-phase® takes advantage of the difference between night and day temperatures. At night, cool outside air is passed through the heat
exchanger releasing the heat built up during the previous day and recharges the thermal energy store. As temperatures rise during the following day,
warm air is passed through the heat exchanger to provide cooling. The total cooling provided is a combination of the intelligent use of the thermal energy
stored within the unit, the effects of free cooling, and night time ventilation.
In winter, Cool-phase® works in reverse, trapping waste heat and using it to warm up cool fresh air entering the building.
Cool-phase® works all year round to ensure a fresh and healthy environment, monitoring temperatures and CO2 levels to automatically determine how
much ventilation or cooling is required.

 EC Fan Coils - 95
Advanced Air

EPIC Fan Coils

The EPIC fan coil range provides the designer with the opportunity to
achieve very low specific fan power levels. This is becoming an increasingly
important issue as successive building regulations slash the allowable total
carbon emission from a building.
The horizontally mounted ECM motor gives many benefits which may be
summarised as follows:
• The most energy efficient fan coil unit
• Infinitely variable speed
• Variable air volume can be easily achieved with further savings in
energy consumption
• Single motor as opposed to multiple motors means greater reliability
• Lower noise levels
• Ability to pre-set air volumes at the factory & fully commission the unit

VAV Fan Coils

For the last 45 years, virtually all fan coils have been constant fan speed
and consequently Constant Air Volume (CAV).
Any changes in cooling or heating were adjusted by the water valve i.e. 100
8 7 3 5
varying the water volume. However, with the fans running at full speed all
the time, this is a needless waste of energy. 80
By varying the air volume, significant reductions in energy can be achieved Water

Controls
The control philosophy is relatively simple as can be seen from the diagram 20
opposite. At maximum cooling the fan is running at 100% with the water
valve fully open. As the cooling load reduces, the fan air volume is reduced 6 1 2
to a minimum of 60%. 0
18 19 20 21 22 23 24
If the cooling load reduces further, the water valve is progressively closed Heating Dead Band Cooling
until the dead band is reached. In other words, the fan air volume is reduced
first, followed by a progressive reduction in the water cooling volume.
On heating, the early morning boost has maximum air volume and heating.
On the heating cycle, the air volume is kept constant to ensure there is no
stratification within the room.
The heating requirement is usually a short period just prior to occupation of
the building and therefore does not significantly impact on carbon emissions.

ECM Technology
Advanced Air EPIC 280 fan coil units include pressure independent
discharge fans, which means the air volumes can be pre-set in the factory.
Due to its “smart” motor technology, the fan is self-commissioning as any
change in external resistance is recognised by the “smart” controller and
the fan automatically compensates to achieve its set-point.
The “smart” motor has feedback capabilities which via the BMS can be used
to indicate dirty filters and can be programmable to suit varying room
condition loads.

96 - Air Terminal Device Selection
Introduction
Frequently the type and location of a grille or diffuser will be determined by architectural or other requirements. If this is the case, performance data can
be applied directly to determine whether the resulting performance is acceptable. If an entirely free choice is available, refer to Sections 2 and 8 where
comparative selection data can be used to determine the most suitable air terminal device. Usually, the sizing and design of a particular terminal device
is based on the throw, but at each stage, it is necessary to check that any acoustic or pressure drop specification is satisfied.
Having decided which type of grille or diffuser is required, apply the following techniques for selection Table 5.1
in conjunction with necessary information, such as total airflow rate and room size. It is helpful to
have scale drawings of air terminal device layouts. Class of ATD Air Change rate per hour
Grilles 8
Mixed Flow Applications Linear Grilles 10
Table 5.1 provides very approximate typical air change rates for various types of air terminal devices.
Consideration must be given to the following which will determine the final selection. Slot & Linear Diffusers 15

in table 5.2.
If the required throw exceeds the maximum throw shown in table 5.2, Grilles 1.0 0.7 0.7 0.7
consider an alternative scheme. Choose suitable grille locations and
calculate the individual grille duty.
Determine the most suitable terminal velocity on which the throw is to be based; in general, a jet terminal velocity of
0.25 – 0.4 m/s will be satisfactory for year round air conditioning schemes using sidewall grilles.
Using selection tables or nomograms, select the most suitable grille size.
Grilles with an aspect ratio (width to height ratio) between 2:1 and 5:1 produce a better air diffusion pattern than square
grilles and are less likely to cause draft problems due to excessive drop of the supply jet.
When the terminal device is mounted away from a surface (a free jet) the velocity decay is more rapid and throw is less
than surface clinging jets. Table 5.3 gives typical ratios of throw.

Approach 1
It is recommended that the space between ATDs should be equal to 1/3 of the particular ATD’s throw.
Be aware that an ATD installed close to the ceiling may cause a Ceiling Effect, as described in Section 1. This may
cause the Throw to be extended beyond the data in a manufacturers’ guidelines.
Taking this into account divide the room into equal sections along the length (L) ensuring that each individual section
has a width:length aspect ratio of at least 1:3 or more. (See Figure 5.3).
The example shows 4 ATDs, for which the air flow rate for each can be acquired by dividing the total air flow rate (Qt)
by the number of total amount of ATDs as represented in the following expression = Qt/4
Upon obtaining the air flow rate for individual ATDs, the exact throw can be ascertained relative to the segment length
(W) from the manufacturer’s technical data.
To prevent causing draughts, identify an acceptable air flow drop (based on velocity) which ensures the air flow envelope
does not breach the occupied zone, normally a height of 1.8m (See Figure 5.2).
Select an ATD size relative to the specific data of the ATD. Remember to consider the above along with temperature
differential and position of the ATD in relation to the ceiling.

Approach 2
By dividing the room area lengthwise, it increases the amount of ATDs (see Figure 5.4). This in turn lowers the air flow
rate per ATD.
Proceed as per Approach 1.

Approach 3
Begin by dividing the room by the same aspect ratio (1:3) as seen in Approach 1. Then, maintaining the widths of the
segments divide the room area lengthwise (see Figure 5.5).
Set the blades to 22° and proceed as before.

To avoid draughts at head level, the maximum throw should be limited to the figures shown in table 5.4, based on
ceiling height:

is satisfactory.
Maximum Throw (m) 4.0 5.5 6.5 9.5 12.0
Using selection nomograms, determine the most suitable grille height based on
the required duty and throw.

Linear Slot Diffusers

These diffusers can be selected or set to provide horizontal diffusion in one or two directions across a flat ceiling surface drawing up on the ceiling effect.
As the supply jet entrains room air, it expands in its depth and must be prevented from prematurely entering the occupied zone. Table 5.5, illustrates
recommended maximum throws for differing ceiling heights.

One Way Throw

For continuous slot diffuser arrangements, divide the ceiling area into convenient strips, based on the maximum throw.
Determine the available active lengths of diffuser sections, then calculate the diffuser duty by dividing the active length into the total airflow rate to be
supplied.
With the available information of maximum throw and diffuser duty, draw two lines on the selection nomogram; one passing through the minimum throw
and the other passing through the maximum throw. This produces a band of possible selections.
It is now necessary to find the optimum selection for comfort (maximum number of slots to produce the ideal room air movement for the particular
application).
If the optimum selection falls below a one-slot diffuser, then the active length can be reduced as necessary.
If the optimum selection is greater than eight slots, it is possible that a slot diffuser arrangement is not practical and further advice should be obtained.

Two Way Throw

If selecting a linear diffuser with a two way throw, the two throws should be selected on a nomogram as though they are separate diffusers.
After working out the Qm, divide that air flow rate by the number of Slots on the Linear Diffuser.
Example: A 3-Slot Diffuser with an air flow rate of 180l/s/m would give 60l/s/m through each slot.
If the slot is to be configured with two slots diffusing one way but the third to diffuse in the opposite direction, then selections would be for a two slot
configuration of 120l/s/m and a one slot configuration of 60l/s/m.
Table 5.6
Circular, Square & Swirl Diffusers Ceiling Height (m) 2.5 2.7 3.0 3.5 4.0
Circular diffusers produce a radial air diffusion pattern while square and rectangular Maximum Throw (m) 4.0 5.5 6.5 9.5 12.0
devices can be selected or adjusted to produce 4, 3, 2 or 1 way directional air
patterns and drawing up on the ceiling effect. Wherever possible, select a 4 way or radial pattern as this results in the most efficient air diffusion. Using
table 5.6, determine the maximum recommended radial throw based on the zone ceiling height. This will prevent the supply jet from entering the occupied
zone prematurely, as it expands in the vertical plane.

Standard Selection
Using a scaled ceiling plan, divide the area into convenient squares twice the size of the derived maximum radial throw. A circular or square diffuser at
the centre of each area can now be selected to handle its proportion of the total airflow rate.
Using selection tables or nomograms, determine the diffuser sizes which satisfy the throw parameter. The most economical selection will produce a
minimum radial throw very close to the required throw. However, the optimum selection will probably be a compromise between the most economical
selection and that which will produce the most comfortable room air movement.
If the maximum radial throw produced by the smallest available diffuser is less than the required throw, then insufficient room air movement and high
level stratification will result. An alternative air terminal device should be considered.
Similarly, if the minimum radial throw produced by the largest available diffuser is greater than the required throw, it is probable that the particular air
terminal device is unsuitable.
Wherever possible, diffuser selections should be within the limits given in the tables; extrapolating data down to very low-neck velocities will usually result
in poor air diffusion – for example, high-level stratification with heating cycles and draughts due to dumping with cooling cycles.
Swirl diffuser units usually have a circular pattern of radial vanes which generate a swirling air motion when used in supply mode. This highly turbulent
swirl effect allows the unit to introduce high volumes of air into the conditioned space, taking advantage of the rapid entrainment and intermixing
characteristics. As a result, the unit can deliver high room air change rates as compared to conventional diffusers.

ExhA

Warm air from the data centre room is supplied to the plate heat exchanger. Cold
outdoor air passes through the heat exchanger in a parallel air path without mixing
with the indoor air. Indoor air is cooled down by the cooling power of outdoor air.
In order to maintain capacity, the outdoor airflow varies depending on outdoor air
parameters i.e. if the temperature goes down, the airflow is reduced.
Heat Exchanger + Adiabatic Mode
During very high outdoor air temperature periods, the partial support mode starts.
In this mode, there are two cooling stages of process indoor air: first it is pre-cooled
with the help of evaporative cooling and the heat exchanger and then it is cooled
within the built-in cooling coil stage.
Support Mode

39°C 39°C

23°C

When the outdoor air temperature goes up and the cooling power is not enough to
maintain capacity, the adiabatic evaporative cooling mode starts. Outdoor air passes
through the adiabatic humidifier where water is evaporated and the outdoor air
temperature is reduced. Pre-cooled outdoor air is supplied to the plate heat
exchanger and cools the indoor air. In order to maintain minimal power consumption,
outdoor airflow is also reduced according to cooling requirements in this mode.
During periods of extremely high outdoor air temperature and humidity, the outdoor
air fan will be turned off. Process indoor air will be cooled down by the built-in cooling
coil which is able to maintain 100% of required cooling capacity. The cooling coil is
supported by an external chiller or condensing unit.

 100 - Trench Heating
RCM Heating is introducing a new and exciting range of trench
heaters, designer radiators and towel rails. The range includes radiant
convector heaters, designed to heat residential rooms, corridors,
dust-free production rooms and public spaces and will operate in any
heating system. Exchanger convectors with modern heating elements
can be used for offices, commercial areas, car showrooms and hotels.
Trench heaters are embedded directly in the floor, do not disturb the
interior space design and do not occupy any space that could otherwise
be used for furniture. Trench heaters take in cold air from the surrounding
environment – this air enters the trench heaters either by means of natural
circulation or it is displaced using the installed tangential fans.
A heat exchanger is a basic component of each trench heater. This is
where the air is heated and subsequently rises back into the room. The
air forms a heat curtain in front of a cool glass surface, separates this cool
surface from the inner space of the room and prevents air humidity
condensation on its surface.
Discover this beautiful and versatile range of bathroom and designer
radiators and towel rails now available from RCM Heating; eye-catching
products which will compliment any of your developments. Customers
will always require the classical functions of heating, but with the RCM
range of radiators, towel rails and trench heaters, they can choose from
units that not only warm, but also make a visual statement complementing
the overall aspect of any room.
Ecological & BMS Friendly
Models with modern tangential ventilators 24V DC EC allow for
implementation into low temperature heating systems, making use of
thermal pumps and other ecological heating sources. Trench heaters with
the EC fan technology combined with a modern digital thermostat can
easily be incorporated into building management systems (BMS).
Radiators
Beautiful curves, imaginative design, try choosing just one of the many
designs to finish your luxury interior. Exceptional construction made of

102 - Fan Coil Unit Acoustics & Room Noise Levels
1. Introduction
The selection of fan coil units is governed not only by thermal or air volume flow
rate requirements, but also by any constraints on the level of noise permitted in the
room. Frequently, the manufacturer is required to select fan coil units based on the
predicted noise levels in the room as a result of the fan coil unit application. However,
these are influenced not only by the fan coil unit, but also by the room itself. During
the preliminary design stages, not all the room conditions may be known but certain
assumptions allow the room noise levels to be approximated.
2. Sound Pressure Level
The human ear reacts to fluctuations in air pressure caused by sound. The level of
sound heard by the human ear (and measured by an acoustic meter) is known as
the sound pressure level (SPL). The ear reacts logarithmically over a very broad
range of sound levels and therefore sound pressure levels are quantified on a
logarithmic scale relative to a reference sound pressure. They are measured in
decibels (dB) above the pressure corresponding to the threshold of hearing for a
typical human ear.
Sound Pressure Level (SPL) is given by… SPL = 20 Log10 P / Pr
where P = sound pressure being measured (Pa)
Pr = sound pressure reference i.e. limit of hearing (2 x 10-5 Pa)
3. Sound Power Level
In generating sound, the source will expend energy. The rate of transfer of acoustic
energy from the source to the medium through which the sound is transmitted is
known as the sound power level (SWL). In a similar manner to sound pressure
levels, sound power levels are measured on a logarithmic scale in dB above the
power corresponding to the threshold of hearing for a typical human ear.
Sound Power Level (SWL) is given by… SWL = 10 Log10 W / Wr
where W = sound power of source (W)
Wr = sound power reference (1 x 10-12 W)
4. Frequency & Octave Band Spectra
Sound is oscillatory in nature and the speed of oscillation is measured as a
frequency in Hertz (Hz). In practice, virtually all sound consists of components at
different frequencies; each component has a sound power level at its relevant
frequency. The human ear is sensitive to sound with a frequency between 30Hz
and 20kHz. Since frequency is a continuous variable, sound levels (both SPL and
SWL) are grouped in frequency bands for convenience. These are referred to as
octave bands (as their width is typically one octave) and the mid band frequency is
used to identify them.
Octave Band - mid-frequencies (Hz)
32 63 125 250 500 1000 2000 4000 8000
For fan coil unit applications, octave bands 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz and
4kHz are critical. Each octave band, for a piece of equipment such as a fan coil
unit, has a corresponding sound power level, from which an equivalent sound
pressure level at the same frequency may be derived.
5. The Relationship between SWL & SPL
In simple terms, the SWL is the rate at which acoustic energy is transferred to a
room and the SPL is a measure of the effect of the SWL at a given point within the
room. A useful analogy is to consider a heater; the output of a heater is measured
as power in Watts (W) and the effect of the output of the heater is measured as
temperature in degrees Celsius (°C).
6. Sound Path
It is important to consider sound can be emitted from different sources to the listener.
1) Inlet and case radiated sound is transmitted through the ceiling into the room
space.
2) In-duct sound is carried along the duct and through the supply air diffusers to
the room space.
It is also important to consider that sound is transmitted via more than one route.
1) The direct sound path is a straight uninterrupted path between source and listener.
2) Reverberant sound paths are any path, beginning at the source, along which
sound is reflected off one or more surfaces prior to reaching the listener.
7. Factors Affecting Room Sound Pressure Levels
Certain criteria must be known to determine room sound pressure levels.

PO9 2JD Website : www.dunham-bush.co.uk
1) Sound power levels of the fan coil unit - Sound power levels are specified as
two separate sets of acoustic data, namely discharge in-duct sound power levels
and inlet and case radiated sound power levels.
2) Outlet ductwork - Size, length and type of ductwork, together with the quantity
of bends incorporated into it, affect the level of discharge in-duct sound reaching
the supply air plenum.
3) Supply air plenum - Acoustic characteristics of supply air plenum are affected
by its size, number of duct connections and whether or not it is acoustically lined.
4) Supply air grille - Type and size of the supply air grille affects the level of the
discharge in-duct sound radiated into the room. High air velocities through the grille
may result in noise regeneration.
5) Position of supply air grille - Proximity of the grille to one or more major room
surfaces affects the level of discharge in-duct sound radiated into the room,
transmitted via the direct sound path to the listener.
6) Ceiling construction - Level of inlet and case radiated sound transmitted into
the room space is dependent upon the acoustic characteristics of the ceiling.
7) Position of return air grille - This affects the inlet and case radiated sound
emitted into the room. Return air grilles should be installed as far as possible from
the inlet to the fan coil unit.
8) Room conditions and position of the listener - Sound pressure levels resulting
from the component of sound transmitted from the ceiling and the grilles via the
reverberant sound path is affected by both the surface area of the room space and
the quality of the room surfaces. As sound travels further from the source, both
acoustic energy and hence sound pressure levels reduce.
8. Noise Assessment
Noise rating (NR) curves are the most commonly used method for assessing noise
level. Each curve connects predefined sound pressure levels, which consider the
response of the human ear at each of the octave bands. The noise level at a point
in space is represented by the value of the NR curve whose constituent sound
pressure levels are either greater than or equal to those calculated or measured.

9. Common Problems with Fan Coil Unit Installations
1) Undersized outlet ductwork - Leads to high air velocities and external static
pressures and noise regeneration in the duct. As a guide, the maximum air velocities
should be limited to 3m/s in typical office environments and to a lower figure in noise
critical areas. Recommended air volume flow rates for duct sizes of Ø250mm,
Ø200mm and Ø150mm are 145l/s, 95l/s and 55l/s respectively.
2) Excessive quantities of flexible ducting - For a given air volume flow rate,
flexible ducting produces a higher pressure drop than an equivalent length of rigid
ducting. Higher pressure drops may lead to noise regeneration.
3) Position of return air grilles - Installation of return air grilles too close to the
inlet of the fan coil unit results in more of the inlet and case radiated sound reaching
the room via the grille. The length of the air path between the inlet of the fan coil
unit and return air grille should be maximised to minimise the level of inlet and case
radiated sound that is transmitted through the return air grille into the room space.
4) Hard acoustic conditions - Predominantly hard surfaces result in higher sound
pressure levels. Addition of soft furnishings to room space yields lower noise levels.
5) Poor ceiling attenuation - Some inlet and case radiated sound will reach the
room space via the ceiling. Use of acoustic ceiling tiles with low sound transmission
and good absorption properties reduces the level of inlet and case radiated sound.
6) Listener too close to supply air outlet - Sound pressure levels reduce with
increasing distance between the listener and the supply air outlet.
 Low Surface Temperature (LST) Radiators & Convectors - 103
Safe Heating for Buildings
Safety is paramount in all buildings; designers have a duty of care to
eliminate or minimise all risks to building occupants as is reasonably
practical. Buildings such as day centres, playrooms, surgeries, nurseries
and care homes are used by people of all ages who are vulnerable. Risk
assessment, provided by the Management of Health and Safety at Work
Regulations 1999, will enable the designer to identify hazards, assess the
risk of injury and decide appropriate measures. All occupants are deemed
to be at risk and some are more vulnerable than others to scalding or
burning from hot surfaces or water temperatures; research has shown that
partial thickness burns to skin can be inflicted by solid surfaces at
temperatures of 45ºC or more for a period of more than 2 hours (a possible
occurrence if the occupant is rendered immobile or unconscious).
Heating systems are typically designed using Low Pressure Hot Water
(LPHW) with a flow temperature of 80ºC and a return temperature of
60ºC; if the surface temperature of a heating device is between these
two, then the average person could receive a partial thickness burn in
about one second, with a full thickness burn being inflicted after
approximately ten seconds. Hence, a heating device should operate with
a maximum surface temperature when running at design output, which
can be achieved by installing a heating device designed to have a low
surface temperature.
Standards for Testing
CE marking on heating devices is a mandatory requirement for
construction products and can only be applied to products that have been
successfully tested to an EU standard by a notified body, accredited under
the Construction Products Regulations (305/2011/EU-CPR).
The only accredited body in the UK is BSRIA, who test in accordance
with the harmonised standard:
BS EN 442 Specification for Radiators and Convectors
Part 1 1996 Technical Specifications and Requirements
Part 2 1997 Test Methods and Rating
Part 3 2003 Evaluation of Conformity
Part 1 provides technical specifications for radiators and convectors which
are permanently installed in a building and fed with hot water or steam
below 120ºC from a remote heat source.
Part 2 specifies the laboratory apparatus, test method and criteria for
selecting test samples. It also specifies the correct information that a
manufacturer shall provide from the test data.
Part 3 specifies how radiators and convectors are evaluated to comply with
the standard.
A radiator or convector can be tested to BS EN 442 and its thermal output
can be measured at various water temperatures. This enables characteristic
equations to be determined for different sizes or models of the same type.
Similarly, surface temperatures are measured at various water temperatures
and characteristic equations can be derived to predict surface temperatures
at different operating conditions.

Low Surface Temperature (LST)

NHS Estates Health Guidance Note ‘Safe’ Hot Water & Surface Temperatures
1998 provides guidance for designers on safe surface temperatures of
components and services. The guidance recommends that heating devices
should have a maximum surface temperature of 43ºC when operating
under design conditions.
Heating devices should be designed so that there are no surface ‘hot spots’.
All openings (e.g. grilles) should prevent small hands entering the device
and touching hotter surfaces inside the device. They should be designed
to be easily cleaned as a routine maintenance activity, to prevent dust and
debris build-up and to control infection. Consideration should also be given
to exposed horizontal or vertical pipework within 2m of floor level, since
this will present the same risk as the heating device. Pipework to the device
should therefore be boxed or insulated.
For most heating devices, the outlet grille has the highest surface
temperature. But a risk assessment may deem the outlet grille does not
present a significant hazard. Therefore, higher grille temperatures may be
acceptable since casing temperatures will always be significantly lower
than grille temperatures.
Natural Convector
The table below shows performance data for a typical Low Surface
Temperature (LST) natural convector which is wall mounted with a casing
width of 1500mm. The casing includes an outlet grille on the casing top
and inlet grille on the casing bottom, with a hot water emitter connected
to LPHW flow and return. Air temperature is taken at 0.75m above finished
floor level.
A review of the results can yield the following conclusions:
i) Greater output is achieved from the stack effect; an increase in the
height of the casing will induce better airflow and heat transfer,
leading to higher thermal output.
ii) This in turn leads to reduced maximum surface temperatures at the
outlet grille on top of the casing.
iii) Reducing the return temperature will only lead to a lower mean water
temperature; this reduces output, but will not reduce grille surface
temperature which is determined by the water flow temperature.
iv) Reducing the water flow temperature will reduce output as well as
bring the grille surface temperature down to an acceptable value
when selected in conjunction with an appropriate casing height.
v) A reduced room design temperature will increase heat output by a
greater mean temperature difference across the emitter, and lead to
reduced grille surface temperatures.

104 - Trench Heating
Trench heating is the perfect solution for distributing heat while preventing cold draughts in rooms where there are large areas of floor to ceiling glazing,
such as offices and car showrooms.
The floor convectors fit into a trench or false floor in the perimeter of the building close to the glazing.
As well as providing heat to the room, they reduce cold down draughts from the glazing and can assist in preventing condensation. The heater acts as
a screen at cold windows, increasing thermal comfort in the interior.
Aesthetically pleasing, room design and décor can be complemented with a range of grille finishes.

 Run-Around Coil Systems for Heat Recovery - 105
New building stock is invariably designed with heat recovery equipment
in the ventilation system; this is required by legislation.
Older, existing buildings incur high energy bills and have a
correspondingly high carbon footprint, largely as a result of the fossil fuel
burned in order to heat cold outside air due to the lack of a reliable heat
recovery system.
Air to air heat recovery can be accomplished using a number of
technologies; heat pipes, cross-flow or counter-flow plate heat
exchangers and thermal wheels being the most obvious.
While these devices provide high effectiveness heat transfer between the
return air and outside air, they all suffer from the same limitation i.e. the
outside air and return air must be arranged to run adjacent to one another.
While new construction can incorporate duct runs and/or double deck air
handling units to take advantage of the above technology, the
juxtaposition of supply and extract airstreams on existing plant can
prohibit their use.
Similarly, the need to displace extract outlets away from outside air inlet
louvers on new ‘air quality critical’ projects can mean that run-around coil
systems are the only alternative as they represent the only available
technology which is suited to distant airstreams.
The savings available to the client as a result of the incorporation of
run-around coil heat recovery vary with the throughput of air, but a system
recently renovated at Glasgow Royal Infirmary showed annual energy
savings based on year round operation of over 6,000,000 kWh.
At a gross cost of £0.05/kWh to take into account the efficiency of the
existing fossil fuel boiler and distribution system, this represents an
annual cost saving of over £300,000 and a reduction in CO2 of over 1200
tonnes. All this was achieved with a payback of less than 2 years.
The example given above relies on a total ventilation for the healthcare
unit of just over 100m³/s, but savings on a smaller scale will provide
identical benefits to commercial properties.
Run-around coil effectiveness (efficiency) values cannot always match
those of competing technology, but with careful equipment selection they
can approach the above and allow the incorporation of meaningful heat
recovery where it would otherwise be unfeasible.

Steps to take when considering a run-around coil installation:
• A good starting point is to aim at a system effectiveness of 50 to 55%.
Experience shows that this will give the best result in terms of net
heat recovery (gross recovery less additional fan/pumping power
required).
• Higher effectiveness values of up to 65% are possible but this would
require coils of a significant depth and cross section to reduce air
velocities and maximise contact times. Space is often at a premium
in retro-fit applications and low air velocities will not be practical.
• Get the expert coil manufacturer involved at an early stage – SPC
will advise on the correct selection and will assist with any site surveys
required.
• Determine the available airflow rate for both the outside air and extract
air. Note that outside and extract air flow rates need not be equal.
• Assess the existing plant equipment and available space for the
additional coils. Select suitable coils and determine the airside
resistance, water side resistance and water flow rate requirements.
• Determine whether amendments need to be made to existing blowers
in the system to overcome the resistance of the additional fin blocks.
• Plot the required pipework runs between supply and extract coils.
Pipework would normally be only small/medium bore and would
require standard pipe insulation.
• Determine where the circulating pump is to be installed and select a
suitable model to match the flow rate required and the pressure drop
of the coils, plus an allowance for adjoining pipework.
• The run-around loop is a closed system and will require an expansion
vessel to be incorporated to absorb volume fluctuations.
Consideration should also be given to the incorporation of a
pressurisation system to ensure that system pressures are
automatically maintained.
• SPC offers a range of pump sets designed specifically for run-around
coil applications and these incorporate circulating pumps, expansion
tanks and pressurisation sets. The circulating pumps include contacts
for remote switching via BMS and electronically controlled
continuously variable speed circulating pumps. This allows simple
system control without the need to incorporate control valves.
• Consider frost protection of the system. Supply coils can be subject
to sub-zero temperatures and are at risk of freezing if the system is
not operating.
• If no other frost protection is available then the system should use
an antifreeze solution.

108 - DSE Flex - Bespoke Substations
Overview
District heating and cooling transfer stations provide the link between
energy suppliers and customers’ systems. They incorporate the
necessary equipment to tailor the supplied heat to the needs of the object
premises as specified in the heating supply contract.
In this they need to comply with all applicable standards and with the
supplier’s technical connection conditions.
Indirect connections (in which district heating and in-house systems are
hydraulically isolated) incorporate components to separate the systems
(heat exchanger), to limit the flow volume to that specified in the contract,
regulate the secondary supply temperature and measure the energy
consumption.
The system described here is a standard type and can be adapted to
your specific project requirements.

Function
Low Temperature Hot Water (LTHW) drawn from the pipeline of the local
or district heating supply company is fed into the station at an appropriate
temperature and pressure, which may be higher in winter than in summer.
In the primary supply line, this LTHW will flow through a shut-off valve
and a dirt trap/ strainer.
The supply and return lines will incorporate a thermometer and a
manometer to register the temperature and pressure. There will also be
regulatory equipment in the return lines of the primary as specified by
the circuit design. On the secondary side, 3 types of pump modules and
different options can be connected.
Key Benefits
• High serviceability
Assembly • Durability due to the use of precious metals (red brass/stainless steel)
The DSE Flex is designed to your needs in advance, assembled in factory • Flat – sealing connections
conditions and then delivered, pre-assembled and ready to connect to • Very low heat loss
the system. The controls are pre-wired for quick and simple installation
to the network, or left out of the station to enable building management • Easy electrical connection
contractors to control it externally. • Plenty of space for wiring work

Please note this is an example of a single station.

The units are flexible and can be adapted for your specific requirements.

 Principles / Advantages of Inverter Drives - 109
The VLT® HVAC Drive
Dedicated for Building Services applications; its optimised features make
it the perfect cost effective match for fans, pumps and compressors in
buildings fitted with sophisticated HVAC systems – VLT® HVAC Drive is
a must for intelligent buildings.
Motor Independency for Building Services
Frequency converter control of fans, pumps and compressor motors
brings significant energy and operational benefits in terms of simple and
flexible overall control.
Legislation has reinforced the need for higher efficient systems, resulting
in a more diverse offering of high efficient induction, permanent magnet
and synchronous reluctance motors.
Danfoss Drives are at the forefront by providing a solution where one
drive fits all motor types. This gives motor independency to installers,
OEM and end users, helping to future proof the building services system.
Maximum possible energy savings can therefore be achieved using the
best motor technology for the application whilst reducing total cost of
ownership.
Freedom of Choice – One VLT® Drive for all motors.
EC+ Technology for Building Services
When building an HVAC system, to get the highest performance and
system efficiency, the individual components (motor, drive and fan) need
to be flexible and broadly compatible with each other.
If you specify a high-efficiency motor that is only compatible with lower
efficiency fans, the overall system efficiency would suffer and would not
reflect the high performance and investment in the individual components.
Danfoss Drives EC+ concept allows ventilation system designers to
combine a VLT® HVAC Drive with the most efficient fan and permanent
magnet motor. A practical example can be seen in the EC version of
radial fans with external-rotor motors illustrated below.
To achieve extremely compact construction, the motor extends into the
intake area of the impeller. This impairs the efficiency of the fan, and
therefore the efficiency of the entire ventilation unit. As a result, high
motor efficiency does not lead to high system efficiency.
Refrigeration Systems
The performance of a refrigeration system is expressed using the Energy
Efficiency Ratio (EER) or the Co-efficient of Performance (COP). This is
the ratio of the generated cooling or heating capacity to the power
consumed and is usually based on full-load operation. However, it is not
enough to rate refrigeration units at just one load level, since most
refrigeration systems operate under partial load conditions. This means
that significant energy savings can be obtained using speed control.
Refrigeration System without Speed Control
In a refrigeration system without speed control the refrigerant compressor
always runs at full speed, regardless of the cooling capacity required.
The cooling output is regulated by the evaporator, which is filled by the
expansion device. Since the expansion valve constantly tries to fill the
evaporator optimally, this adjustment causes the pressure to change and
therefore creates oscillation in the system. Because of this oscillation,
the evaporator never properly fills and operates ineffectively and therefore
the cooling capacity of the refrigerant is not optimal.
Refrigeration System with Speed Control
Continuous variable speed control by VLT® Refrigeration Drive FC103
makes intelligent capacity control possible. By creating stability whilst
balancing the capacity to the actual load, system wide COP/EER improves
providing significant energy savings. Intelligent compressor and condenser
fan control is a “must” in any optimised refrigeration system.

System efficiency is calculated according to VDI DIN 6014 by multiplying the efficiencies of the components.
The following positive effects can be achieved in a refrigeration system
with variable-speed compressor operation:
Compressor
• Stable suction pressure
• Increased capacity using smaller compressor
• Built-in soft starter function
• Reduced mechanical load
• Fewer starts & stops extends lifetime
• Eliminate mechanical capacity control
Condenser Fan Control
• Load dependent capacity control
• Stable condensing pressure
• Reduced charge of refrigerant
• Less dirt build up on condenser
• Stand-alone optimised control with VLT® Refrigeration Drive FC103
Pumps in A/C or Indirect Cooling Systems & Fans in
Air Conditioning Systems
The stated drive efficiencies (converter x motor) are based on measurements, while the fan efficiencies
are taken from manufacturer catalogues. Due to the directly driven fan, ƞcoupling=1 • Coolant pump capacity according to demand
• Stable coolant flow & pressure
• Optimised operation of air handling units
NEW Multi-Fan Control

Plug Fans and Axial Fans in parallel are becoming more and more popular

110 - Metering & Flow Control
Superstatic - The Credible Alternative to Ultrasonic
Why? The Top 10
• Same meter for heating & cooling: -20ºC +130ºC
• Complete range of flows qp 0.6-1500 m³/h, DN15-DN500
• Only 0.5 bar system pressure required
• Same meter for horizontal, vertical riser & vertically down pipework
• Best result at AGFW (Germany) durability test
• No influence from water impurities – thanks to the self-cleaning effect
from the fluid oscillator jet
• No reflection or misdirection of the signals – as with ultrasonic sensors
• Replaceable sensor head without removing from pipework
• More than 65 cooling liquids (Glycols) programmed!
• Complete range of flow capacities qp 1-1500 m³/h, DN15-DN500
Superstatic Heat Meter
(Fluid Oscillator Technology)
In the oscillator, the liquid is fed to a nozzle and accelerated to a vibrating
jet. Through one of the nozzles opposite to the tongue, the jet is diverted
left or right into a canal that leads to the measuring head which contains
a piezoelectric sensor.
The liquid produced by the pressure on the piezoelectric sensor creates
an electric pulse and flows back. The flow is directed in the other channel
where the process is repeated. The piezoelectric sensor is surrounded
by the liquid from the other side and another pulse is generated. The
process is repeated through the fluid in motion – the fluid oscillation. The
frequency of the oscillation is proportional to the flow.
An additional positive benefit is a self-cleaning effect of the oscillating jet
due to the increased speed of the jet.

the device shows an indication if the installation was successful and no
short-circuit was detected on the bus. The RS232 interface enables
communication to any system using M-Bus over RS232 (Tridium,
Honeywell, Trend)
• M-Bus standard open protocol
• M-Bus Slaves 32 / 64 / 128 / 256
• GSM/GPRS data transmission (CMe2100 required)
• Transparent M-Bus dataflow
• I/O modules
• D/A modules to read input signals
Control Valve – AB-QM Pressure Independent
Balancing & Control Valve
The AB-QM can be used separately as an automatic flow limiter valve or
as a combined flow limiter and control valve when fitted with an actuator.
In addition, the setting is extremely user friendly and reliable, making the
AB-QM maintenance free.
The AB-QM valve is the obvious choice for balancing and controlling
terminal units such as fan coils, chilled ceilings and air handling units.
For the Commissioning Engineer it is straight forward to set the maximum
designed flow – just turn the pre-setting scale at the desired flow. A built-in
diaphragm then maintains a constant low differential pressure across the
setting cone on the AB-QM. This ensures that the maximum set flow is
not exceeded.
 Belimo Energy Valve™ - 111
The Concept
The unique Belimo Energy Valve™ combines five functions in one valve:
Hydraulic balancing, Air bubble-tight shut off, Pressure-independent flow
control, Permanent volumetric flow measurement and Energy monitoring.
It is the first valve to show where the energy is going. Energy consumption
for heating and cooling is determined on a continuous basis and saved
on the web server, integrated in the actuator, for 13 months.
Using a laptop (RJ45 Ethernet interface) or by means of the management
system, the values can be viewed, analysed and if necessary optimised
on site, directly through the valve.

Technical Configuration
The Belimo Energy Valve™ is a characterised control valve with
adjustable flow rate and sensor-operated flow control, as well as a power
and energy-monitoring function, 2-way with flange PN16:
• For closed cold & warm water systems
• For modulating water-side control of air purification & heating systems
• Nominal Voltage AC/DC 24V
• Ethernet 10/100 Mbit/s, TCP/IP, Integrated web server
• Communication via BACnet IP, BACnet MS/TP, MP-Bus or conventional
control
The Energy Valve™ revolutionises flow rate regulation and hydraulic
balancing. With the data recorded for the previous 13 months, the system
can be monitored, analysed and optimised for energy-efficient operation.

Advantages
The Energy Valve™ offers a series of unique advantages:
• There are low installation costs: all in one rapid, simple installation
• Expenditure for valve design is considerably reduced because there is
no need to calculate the Kvs value
• Hydraulic balancing is considerably simplified, taking 1 person less than
1 minute per line
• The flow rate is measured electronically on a permanent basis & is
immediately adjusted automatically in the event of pressure changes
• The desired set point is maintained at all times
• Energy losses caused by energy fluctuations are avoided
• Operating costs are reduced: saving through energy transparency,
pressure-independence & air bubble-tightness
• The risk of Low Delta T (the most common culprit of major system
inefficiencies) is dramatically reduced or eliminated
• Buildings are able to meet comfort demand with smaller, less expensive
piping & equipment

114 - Guidance for Control Valves in HVAC Applications
General Guidance for the Use of Control Valves Typical Mixing Valve Applications
in HVAC Applications
This information is intended as a general guide for the application of
HVAC control valves. Please consult the manufacturer’s relevant data
sheets for detailed specifications.
• Control valves must be suitable for the medium and operating pressure
Load
• Modulating type control valves must not be used where tight shutoff is
required
• Control valves can be manufactured with +/- 10% tolerance on the Kvs
value and should not be used as a reference for balancing purposes Mixing Circuit
• Mixing valves have 2 inlets and 1 outlet
• Diverting valves have 1 inlet and 2 outlets
• Most manufacturers’ valves are mixing valves and when used in a
diverting application, must be placed in the return
• Most valves will work when installed in any position (see relevant Load
manufacturers’ details). However, they should be installed upright as far
as possible
• Installing valves upside down should be avoided as any water leakage
will run into the electrical actuator and may result in damage
• Valves should be installed with sufficient room available for removing Diverting Circuit
the actuator and complete valves for inspection purposes
• Isolating valves and quick disconnect fittings should be installed to ease
removal
• Water systems should be cleaned, flushed and treated in accordance
with current good practice e.g as described in BSRIA Application

 Dehumidification / Humidification / Cooling - 115
Munters Desiccant Rotor Technology
Munters desiccant dehumidifiers attract moisture from the air by creating
an area of low vapour pressure at the surface of the desiccant. The
pressure exerted by the water in the air is higher, so the water molecules
move from the air to the desiccant and the air is dehumidified.
Munters desiccant dehumidifiers make use of changing vapour pressures
to dry air continuously in a repeating cycle described by the simple
diagram below.
As the desiccant picks up moisture from the surrounding air, dry air is
discharged to the process area and the reactivation air stream discharges
the wet air outside.
Munters units can operate in a wide range of temperatures, including at
low temperatures down to -40°C.
Munters Dessicant Rotor Principle
Dry air
Process air
Munters Adiabatic Humidification & Cooling
Water is circulated through a pump station and supplied to the top of the
cooling pad via a distribution manifold. A distribution pad on the top of
the cooling pad ensures an even water distribution. The water flows down
the corrugated surface of the GLASdek evaporative cooling pad.
Part of the water is evaporated by the warm and dry air that passes
through the pad. The heat that is needed for the evaporation is taken
from the air itself. The air that leaves the pad is therefore cooled and
humidified simultaneously without any external energy supply for the
evaporation process. This is nature’s own cooling process.
Modular design fits all AHUs, for airflows from 0.5 to 30m³/s.
Munters Direct and Indirect Evaporative Cooling systems reject heat
without adding moisture to data centres, hospitals, airports, correctional
and power facilities. Munters award winning Oasis™ Indirect Evaporative
Coolers can provide energy savings in excess of 70% when compared
to traditional chiller cooling systems.
Evaporative cooling is an energy efficient solution for industry, where hot
indoor climates lead to low yields, reduced productivity and unsatisfied
working staff.

Munters PowerPurge™ - Save up to 35% Energy

PowerPurge works in a similar way to the standard desiccant rotor, yet
it has its own small fan that circulates the air between the two additional
sectors. PowerPurge saves energy in two ways:
The unique patented PowerPurge acts as an energy recovery system, Munters Oasis™ Indirect Evaporative Cooler (IEC)
collecting waste heat off of the hottest section of the desiccant wheel and
using it to help with the regeneration by pre-heating the coolest part of Features
the rotor. This reduces the energy required for reactivation while also • Industry leading energy efficiency down to 280kWh/kW
reducing the discharge temperature of the process air, resulting in lower • Cooling zero particulate & gaseous
energy costs for post-cooling; contamination
PowerPurge can also save on first cost. Equipping a desiccant system • Fully packaged, compact systems
with PowerPurge can reduce the size of the desiccant rotor without
diminishing the dehumidification capacity. • Configurable design
• Multi stage water operation

Reactivation air
EC fan technology has been proven to reduce energy consumption, lower
Cold air Warm air CO2 emissions and improve AHU efficiency (compared to older belt driven
PowerPurge™
fans). On average, this saves 40-50% power on an AHU and provides
air stream fans that deliver greater levels of control.
The new designs can provide higher air
Drive motor flow for the same or lower energy use, or
be used to reduce energy bills, which
lowers operating costs and cut CO2

• Reduced reactivation energy and easy replacement of future fans.
• Reduced post cooling energy Munters is committed to providing the best
service, including data logging before and
• Energy savings after to highlight the savings made and
• Improved drying performance provide evidence of the savings.

Specifications & Requirements
Avoid delays with installation by following guidelines set by Fulton for
preparing your site.
Further information can be found in Fulton product manuals and standard
skid documentation.
Consideration should be given to (as a minimum):
Plantroom Floor / Base
The plantroom area should provide a flat and level base for siting the
skidded system. Final adjustments can be made by using the levelling
feet on the Fulton skid bases.
Blowdown Vessel Connections
The vent connection and discharge from the vessel are sized to comply
with the current standard.
Boiler Flue
Fuel fired boilers are fitted with a flue outlet that requires connecting to
an adequately designed flue provided by a specialist flue company.
Contact Fulton for assistance.
Safety Valve Vent
It is recommended that safety valve discharge pipework should rise for
steam systems. Horizontal pipework should have a downward gradient
of at least 1 in 100 away from the valve, ensuring that any discharge will
be self-draining.
Feedwater Tank Vent
Ideally, the vent pipe should be installed vertically and should not be
connected to other vent lines. If it has to run horizontally then it should
have a slight slope and drain back to the tank.
Plantroom Ventilation
Plantrooms must incorporate high and low level ventilation openings for
combustion air and plantroom ventilation as required by the Institute of
Gas Engineers publication IGE/UP/10 or applicable local regulations.
Minimum Plantroom Access
A minimum plantroom clearance is stated with each project to specify the
required free space for the room in which the skid is contained, for all
necessary component withdrawals and maintenance access.
Typically a 600 mm access area will be left around a skidded system.
Weights of Packaged Systems
Both shipping weights and operational weights of packaged systems
must be noted.
It is important to use the correct weight to arrange transport or to ensure
the system is suitably located on a strong base.
Fuel Supply
Ensure existing site infrastructure is adequate for increased fuel flow rate
and minimum pressure requirements for your Fulton skidded system and
all existing appliances.
120 - Steam & Condensate Pipe Sizing

122 - Heating with Gas Fired Boilers
King’s Cross Redevelopment with District Heating Network is the largest of its kind for 150
Project Overview
When sustainable energy specialist Vital Energi was chosen to assist
Metropolitan King’s Cross Ltd with the delivery of a low carbon energy
supply to its new development at King’s Cross in central London, it turned
to Viessmann for its support on the project. Through a combination of
energy-efficient building design and the application of centralised heat
and power operation, the project is on target to cut carbon emissions by
at least 45% compared to traditional heating methods.
By August 2012, the energy centre was delivering heating to the King’s Cross site with
two Vitomax 200 10 MW boilers
An Energy Efficient Community
At 67 acres, King’s Cross Central is the largest mixed-use development
in single ownership to be master planned and developed in central
London for 150 years.
When completed, the plot will house 25 new office buildings, 20 new
streets, 10 new major public spaces, and 1,900 new homes, as well as 20
fully restored historic buildings and structures. As Europe’s largest city
centre regeneration scheme, the site now even has its own postcode; N1C.
The challenge for King’s Cross was to provide an energy efficient and
sustainable site without compromising the quality of living, or the
availability of energy supply, and to develop a future-proofed living and
working environment. Metropolitan King’s Cross Ltd, the energy services
company (ESCo) overseeing the design and implementation of all
energy-related aspects of the project, chose sustainable energy specialist
Vital Energi to design, install, operate and maintain the development’s
heating and hot water systems.
The King’s Cross development is creating 8 million square foot of offices, shops, homes
& a university

Staged Planning
To provide efficiency and keep early capital investment and maintenance
costs minimal, Vital Energi has been furnishing King’s Cross Central’s
energy centre with technology in stages, so as to match the heating and
hot water demands of the development’s occupants as construction of
the development continues to grow. The project started with a temporary
energy centre containing two Viessmann Vitomax 100 boilers. With a new
plant room scheduled for completion, the 2.9 MW units will be transferred
to perform the same role at another new site.
Once completed, the centre will contain three 1.8 MW CHP units and
three 10 MW gas-fired boilers to provide heating, hot water and locally
generated electricity to the entire development.
By August 2012, the energy centre was delivering heating and hot water
to the King’s Cross site with two Vitomax 200 10 MW boilers. It will
continue to do so until the site has sufficient daily demand to require the
currently installed single CHP 1.8 MW engine. The system delivers hot
water to two 75,000 litre thermal stores. The CHP units will ultimately
provide heating for the whole King’s Cross Central development, whilst
also generating electricity. Residents can still adjust the temperature of
their homes through thermostat controls, like in most households serviced
by single boilers.
Further installations to complete the energy centre as the development
grows in size, comprising a third Viessmann Vitomax boiler and two
additional CHP units.
As the boilers are designed to handle hot water demand at a carefully calculated peak
load, residents need not worry about there being insufficient hot water at busy times
Ticking All the Boxes
Even after the remaining technology has been installed, Vital Energi will
continue to support the King’s Cross development and is contracted to
operate and maintain the energy supply system for at least a further 10
years thereafter.
The Company’s Contracts Director, Steve Webster, explains:
“When selecting a heating and hot water plant for district energy networks
with such a vast scale as the King’s Cross project, absolute confidence
in product quality is paramount. We are contracted to support the site for
a number of years, therefore as with every project we support with regard
to continued operation and maintenance, we needed to be sure every
product we select is of the highest quality. Once longevity is accounted
for, efficiency and cost are always the next items on the agenda when
planning a project such as the one at King’s Cross. These were all factors
behind choosing Viessmann, whose products allowed us to establish
King’s Cross as a low carbon community in terms of its energy use.”

 Energy Savings Using Radiant Heat - 123
The most important consideration when choosing a heating and cooling
system is energy efficiency. Zehnder radiant heating and cooling systems
can save more than 40% in energy compared to other systems. And all
with a pleasant indoor climate.
• Save energy by achieving a higher perceived temperature than the
actual room temperature
• Even temperature distribution across the full height of the room
• Very high heat output to EN 14037
• Short heating & cooling time
• Free choice of energy source including alternative energies, heat
pumps, condensing appliance technology or process waste heat
• No additional power costs for propulsion energy
The energy costs are mainly dependent on the type of system and the
energy source. The biggest cost factor is the inefficient distribution of heat
within the room.
Zehnder ZBN radiant ceiling panels are particularly efficient and achieve
energy savings of over 40%. Numerous facilities equipped with Zehnder
provide proof of this, day after day.
1. Human Temperature Perception
Human perception of temperature is the arithmetic mean of the indoor air
temperature and the surface temperature e.g. of the walls, ceiling and
floor. Due to the radiation and hence the higher surface temperature of
ceiling-mounted cooling and heating systems, the indoor air temperature
during heating can therefore be kept lower, can be higher during cooling
and still be perceived as pleasant. Energy costs are reduced, both when
heating and when cooling, due to the lower or higher air temperature.
2. Heat Distribution up to Ceiling Height
With air heating systems, the heated air rises and radiant ceiling panels
generate heat where the heat radiation comes into contact with objects
(walls, floors and people). This results in an even temperature distribution
throughout the entire room at ceiling level, and thus a considerably lower
4. System Temperatures
energy consumption. The future of heating is in the low-temperature field. These systems use
less energy, and the energy that they do use is used very efficiently. Heat
Although the perceived temperature remains the same, the actual indoor
transfer systems that work using radiant heat and have a low storage
air temperature can be up to 3K lower (for heating) or higher (for cooling).
mass are ideally suited to low-temperature systems.
The consequential smaller difference between indoor air temperature and
outdoor temperature means that heat loss is dramatically reduced. Zehnder ceiling-mounted heating and cooling systems are a perfect
example of this. Requiring very low flow temperatures is important,
especially when pumping heat. For example, if you use a heat transfer
system that runs at a flow temperature of 50ºC, you will use around 90%
more energy than with a system that runs a flow temperature of 30ºC.
Sample Calculations
The energy saving potential of over 40% can be demonstrated and
determined more precisely in accordance with DIN V 18599. As an
example, we will use a comparison between radiant ceiling panels and
air heaters.
Boundary Conditions: Hall height 20m, room temperature regulation for
both systems via PI regulations, air distribution at a normal induction rate,
3. Reaction Time & Controllability lateral air outlet.
Buildings are becoming increasingly well insulated and thus need less and
less energy. Even small variations in the heat load can result in major
temperature fluctuations. The result is that users manually intervene in the
system and remove the excess heat from the room, e.g. via ventilation.
The conclusion from this is that systems are required that can react quickly
to changes in the heat load or temperature fluctuations in a room – systems
with a rapid reaction time and very good controllability.
Basic Information: Calculation formula under DIN V 18599
Test Series
To simulate the miscellaneous inertias of various systems, tests were
carried out using a radiant ceiling panel, an underfloor heating system
and an active building system. All systems were cooled to a surface
temperature of 17ºC. The systems were then subjected to the same mass
flow and the same flow temperature until each system had achieved a
surface temperature of approximately 35ºC.
For example, a conference room is heated to 20ºC in the winter. The
participants enter the room and give off body heat. This, plus additional
heat loads from lighting, projectors, computers, etc makes the temperature
of the room rise. The result is that in order to quickly bring the sharply
increased room temperature back down to the desired 20ºC, the windows
are opened – and precious energy is wasted.

126 - Leak Detection / Design Guide
Design Guide -
AquiTron Refrigerant Gas Detection
Whether you are designing a refrigerant gas (air conditioning gas) leak
detection system for a hotel, an apartment building, office space, concert
hall or public building, gas leaks and emissions are a concern.
You should ensure that your systems are safe, that adequate monitoring
is in place and that you are complying with regulations whilst still keeping
costs under control. There are many different worldwide standards,
however, the main reason for detection of gas is to protect personnel,
protect the environment and save costs.
For reference, the standards in the UK and parts of Europe are:
F-Gas Regulations, BS EN 378 and BREEAM Pol 01.
Exposure Limits
Refrigerant gas manufacturers supply MSDS and COSHH data sheets
that typically state 1000ppm for an 8-hour period which is a time weighted
average (TWA).
When Do I Need Refrigerant Detection?
There are guidelines on the maximum volume of refrigerant that could be
discharged into a space without the need for a fixed refrigerant sensor,
also known as “practical limits”. These two examples have been taken
from BS EN 378 Part 1 and have been widely used for air conditioning
applications for hotel bedrooms and small office spaces.
The values are 0.44kg/m³ for R410A and 0.33kg/m³ for R407c. Above
these values a sensor is required. Other international standards use similar
values as a guide.
How Many Sensors Do I Need?
In many applications, such as small offices and hotel rooms, one sensor
mounted at low level will provide the desired level of protection. This does
depend on the size of the room and the quantity of air conditioning units.
There are no published regulations or standards to help with this.
There have been various “good practices” and “good rules of thumb” which
engineers have used in the past:
• One sensor for every 34m² of floor area
• One sensor for each air conditioning unit within the space
These guides typically do not apply to chiller and plant rooms.
Where Should Sensors be Placed?
The ability of a system to detect / measure the refrigerant leak is dependent
on the location of the sensor. The sensor may be remotely located up to
100 metres from the controller. The controller and sensor should be firmly
mounted indoors. The controller should be in an area where the display
is easily seen.
The sensor location should be approximately 200 to 300mm above the
floor in an area where refrigerant vapours are most likely to accumulate.
Sensors should be in low-lying areas for occupant safety, or near each
potential leak source if refrigerant conservation is a high priority, such as
ceiling voids.
Systems used to protect personnel should have their sensors located in
such positions that they monitor the concentration at heights of the
occupants, considering the characteristics of the refrigerant used e.g. at
less than bed height with heavier than air gases in a hotel room.
BS EN378 states that a ceiling void is regarded as part of the human
occupied space unless it is airtight, therefore monitoring in ceiling voids
would not be acceptable.
Systems shall operate a supervised and/or audible alarm so that
appropriate action may be taken by the occupants or initiated by trained
personnel and/or shall close the fractured refrigerant line by suitable valves
to limit the rise in concentration within the human occupied space.
In chiller rooms and plant rooms, these sensing points should be considered:
• Low level close to the chiller
• Pressure vent line (monitoring leaks from the safety valve)
• Extract duct

Design Guide -
TraceTek & AquiTron Leak Detection
TraceTek leak detection systems can be utilised in a variety of installations
to detect water, chemical or fuel leaks. TraceTek sensor cables detect
and locate leaks along their entire length. TraceTek point sensors detect
leaks at a specific point. Virtually any number of point sensors can be
combined with sensor cables on a leak detection single circuit.
The following information is provided for initial guidance only. Complete
product information, including selection guides, data sheets, installation
instructions and operating manuals can be downloaded from our website.
Sensor Selection
The first design task is to select the most appropriate sensor type based
on the liquid to be detected and the area to be monitored.
Water Detection
AT-PROBE should be selected for areas requiring only a single point of
detection, such as lift pits, drip trays under HVAC units and plant rooms.
TT1000 sensor cable should be selected for areas in commercial building
applications where larger area coverage is required, such as under raised
floors in computer or telecom rooms, in building service / utility areas etc.
TT1100-OHP sensing cable has been specially designed for suspended
piping applications where the cable is attached to the bottom of the pipe.
Fuel Oil Detection
TT5000 sensor cable should be selected for fuel and oil detection.
AT-OPSEN optical sensor probe should be selected for areas requiring
only a single point of detection, such as lift pits, below tanks and generators.
Sensor Layout
The next design task is to determine the optimum sensor layout. The
sensing cable or point probe should be positioned so that leakage from
the potential leak sources will contact the sensor quickly, before reaching
any critical equipment, cables or other items to be protected.
Alarm Module Selection
Depending on the size of the leak detection system and accessibility of
the sensors, an appropriate alarm (or alarm and locating) module must be
selected.
Small Area Circuits for small leak detection circuits (normally those less
than 30 metres of sensor cable in a single area), a simple alarm module
may be selected. The EcoLeak ECO-1 and AT-SZA modules provide local
indication of the system operating status via LEDs, plus voltage-free
contacts for remote connection to external alarm signals, remote
annunciation panels or building management systems.
Large Circuits, Concealed Sensors or Separated Areas for large
circuits (normally more than 30 metres or where sensors are distributed
between several separate areas) or installations where the sensor is
concealed and normally inaccessible, an alarm and location module is
most appropriate. The digital TTDM-128 or TS-12 panel provides voltage-
free alarm contacts and digital communication via simple RS-485 wiring
and the ModBus protocol.
Alternatively, TTSIM modules can be connected either to the TTDM-
128/TS-12 or directly to a building management system via RS-485 wiring.
The TTSIM supports ModBus and Johnson Controls Metasys® protocols
directly, providing complete sensor status and leak location information
digitally to the host system. The TTDM-128 can be connected to as many
as 128 TTSIMs via a single RS-485 network, allowing extremely large leak
detection systems to be easily configured and integrated.

pump long-coupled pump close-coupled multi-stage multi-stage multi-stage multi-stage
pump pump pump pump

Pump curves - explained

The pump performance curve shows the correlation between media flow (Q) and the pressure differential or head (H) that the pump creates.
Flow is normally given in m3/h or l/s. Pressure differential or head is given in kPa or mwc (meter water column). For variable-speed pumps, the performance
curve is given at minimum and maximum RPM.

The QH-curve
The QH-curve shows the head, which the pump is able to perform at a
given flow. Head is measured in meter liquid column [mLC]; normally the
unit meter [m] is applied. The advantage of using the unit [m] as the unit
of measurement for a pump’s head is that the QH-curve is not affected
by the type of liquid the pump has to handle.

Efficiency - the η-curve

The efficiency is the relation between the supplied power and the utilised
amount of power. In the world of pumps, the efficiency ηP is the relation
between the power, which the pump delivers to the water (PH) and the
power input to the shaft (P2).

Power within the pump

Power consumption (P)
Pumps are made of several components. The power consumption of the different components is
designated in the following way:
P1 The power input from the mains or, put in another way, the amount of power the consumer
has to pay for.
P2 The power input to the pump or the power output from the motor. Often referred to as
shaft power.
PH Hydraulic power – the power that the pump transfers to the liquid in the shape of flow
and head.

For the most common pump types, the term “power consumption” normally refers to P2.
Power is measured in W, kW.

 Vacuum Drainage Technology - 131
Applications & Advantages
The building sector has been slow to move to vacuum drainage technology,
but with the confines placed on new projects such as small conduit and
service ducts and the growing awareness of the need to limit water
consumption, the system is now finding a place in the building sector. As
the system is capable of lifting sewage from appliances such as WCs and
running in voids above these appliances, the system offers the designer
greater flexibility and freedom to position appliances where most suitable
for the building.
The Evac Vacuum Toilet System could not be simpler. Instead of relying
on traditional solutions which use the principle of gravity to remove waste
and are heavily reliant on the location of service cores and outgoing sewer
connections, the Evac system creates a powerful vacuum to flush the toilet
which works like this...
Once the flush button is pushed, a pneumatic signal is sent to the control
mechanism which opens the discharge valve by allowing vacuum from the
pipework system to enter the discharge valve diaphragm, thus connecting
the bowl to the vacuum system. Air at atmospheric pressure then forces
sewage through the discharge valve and into the piping. Simultaneously,
the water valve is opened
and pressurised rinse water
cleans the bowl. The whole
operation is performed using
just vacuum – NO electrical
connections are required.
Evac toilets can be re-
flushed more than 4 times
faster than conventional
gravity toilets; on average,
an Evac toilet will take 5
seconds to complete a flush
cycle as there is no toilet cistern to refill. Evac systems also reduce leakage
problems. The problem of leakage due to pipe fracture is reduced – as a
vacuum exits throughout the system, any leakage is directed inward rather
than outward.
Whilst the Evac vacuum toilet is an integral part of the system, the system
will also accept waste from all other gravity fixtures, including wash basins,
baths and showers using a Vacuum Interface Valve which is similar in
operation to the Evac vacuum toilet. The manually operated push button
is replaced by an activator which is triggered when a static head has been
built up in the grey water tank. The whole operation is automatic and, once
again, no electrical connections are required. The valves allow standard
bathroom fittings to be connected to the vacuum drainage system in new
build projects and eliminates the need to replace existing fittings in a
refurbishment project.
Evac gives the building designer complete freedom from the restrictions of
gravity fed plumbing. Bathrooms and toilets do not need to be tied into a
services core, but can be located where best suits the design.
Increased Design Flexibility
Evac toilets can be installed just about anywhere in a building. Pipes are
small bore (normally 50-75mm) and can be routed around and even over
obstructions. As they are not reliant on the locations of service cores and
do not need vent stacks, design flexibility is maximised. Anywhere you can
imagine an Evac toilet system in the design of your new build or
refurbishment project, it can be achieved.
Evac systems are not dependent on gravity, therefore waste pipes do not
need to slope downwards. This means that Evac toilets can flush along
the level – even upwards when downward flushing is inconvenient. This
opens up a wealth of design opportunities, especially in refurbishment,
extensions and retro-fit projects.
Evac systems give vertical lift of up to 5m, giving unparalleled flexibility in
installation. Toilet cubicles, urinals, showers and hand basins can be
positioned wherever you want, regardless of conventional soil stack
practice. As there is no need to be adjacent to a central soil stack, the
location of toilet accommodation can vary from floor to floor.
In speculative buildings, a prospective tenant will often wish to plan the
space available in a building to suit its business operation. The Evac system
gives you this extra capability. Final decisions on the floor plan can be
delayed leaving maximum room to manoeuvre and giving the client
maximum flexibility to plan space.

Health & Hygiene
Unlike conventional toilets which permit bacteria and odours to enter the
atmosphere, the Evac toilet takes out up to 100 litres of air on each flush,
removing viruses, bacteria and odours from the bowl and into the system.
This cycle of air will keep the toilet accommodation fresh, enhancing
hygiene and personal comfort within washrooms. As the complete pipe
work system is held under a vacuum, it is impossible for infestations or rats
to live and breed in the drainage. Every Evac system, when installed, is a
closed loop. This is particularly important where an organisation requires
waste to be contained if contamination is considered high risk e.g. hospitals,
research facilities and prisons.
Water Savings & Energy Consumption
Water and energy consumption will be dependent on the size, type and
use of the building and its vacuum drainage system. Evac systems are
very environmentally friendly – one of the biggest savings on natural
resources is the dramatic reduction in water consumption. A conventional
toilet consumes between 4.5 and 6 litres of water every time it is flushed.
The Evac toilet typically uses just over one litre of water per flush – 1/6 of
that used by a conventional toilet. Using less water will bring significant
cost savings as water rates rise and as Evac toilets have very low water
consumption, the actual amount of sewage produced is also reduced,
helping to ease the burden on overloaded public sewage plants. Vacuum
retention tanks can also be discharged during off-peak periods.
Total Water Cycle
When considering a vacuum toilet system and comparing it against a
gravity system, you must compare the complete water cycle. There is a
saving in both the cost and power by bringing less water into your building.
If that water has to be stored in the building, then the use of vacuum toilets
will reduce the size of any storage tanks, freeing up valuable floor space
or reducing excavations for underground tanks. If the tanks are to be sited
at the top of the building, the structural requirements of the building can
also be reduced.
Once your water is in the building, you will have to move the water around
it. The larger the building, the more power will be consumed in this process,
so the small amount of water that you have to move, the less power you
will need to consume.
After the water has been used to flush a toilet, it has to be disposed of. In
large buildings with conventional gravity toilets, this can mean several
sewage pumping stations located around the building to get the sewage
from the building into the main sewer. By consuming less water, the vacuum
toilet system also produces less sewage. The flexibility of a vacuum
drainage system means that all the sewage from the building can be
brought back to one location in the building. If the black water is to be
treated in house, then the lower level of sewage will impact on the size and
type of sewage treatment plant required, saving costs, space and energy.
Case Study: Stonehenge Visitor Centre
In 2013, a brand new visitor centre opened at the world heritage site,
Stonehenge. Stonehenge and its surroundings bear powerful witness to
the once great civilisations of the Stone and Bronze Ages. Its world heritage
status requires the government to conserve and share its importance with
current and future generations. Today, busy roads cut the site off from
surrounding monuments and landscapes. Additionally, existing visitor
facilities and parking that are close to the stones cause significant visual
intrusion at the centre of this world heritage site.
The changes set out to improve facilities on offer to the many hundreds of
thousands who visit the site each year and hope to re-establish a sense
of dignity to the setting of one of the world’s most popular ancient
monuments. These improvements include a new environmentally sensitive
visitor centre situated 1.5 miles away from the stones, with high quality
exhibition and education facilities. The problem was how to lay drains in
this very sensitive archaeological area. Design elements have been chosen
with sustainability in mind, making Evac toilets the perfect choice with its
low water usage. In addition to this, the flexibility of the Evac system will
allow the centre to be built with minimal excavations or disturbance to the
landscape; only one shallow drainage channel will be in place. This is to
transport the sewage to an on-site sewage treatment plant where the water
will be recycled and once again used to flush the toilets.
These new improved facilities greatly enhance the visitor experience at
Stonehenge and EVDS are proud to be a part of history.
