LoadTracker XRGI 15G CHP
High efficiency combined heat and power (CHP) unit with maximum rating of 15kW(e) / 30 kW(th). Can modulate down to 50% load, = 7.5kW(e) / 20 kW(th). Offered with 4 main components: Power unit, comprising gas-fired engine and generator. Heat distributor assembly, for ease of interfacing with building heating systems. Control panel, for matching of […]
Kurve Technologies App
App for uploading to portable devices, enabling remote access to heat usage data. Provides information on consumption, spending, volume-weighted average return temperatures (VWART), prevailing tariffs and historical data. Acts as a remote top-up payment portal, with option for switching between Credit and Pay-As-You-Go payment methods. Together with the Disconnect Module, can see to automatic isolation […]
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality in a space within a building, with particular reference to its potential impact on the health of occupants. There are many factors that can affect IAQ, including volatile compounds from furniture and fittings, microbial contaminants and carbon dioxide (CO₂). As carbon dioxide is a by-product of […]
Hep 20 piping & fittings
Hep20 is a leading brand of plastic (polybutylene) pipe used for a wide range of plumbing connections. It can be used with hot and cold potable water systems, as well as for those serving radiators and underfloor heating. Connections are made using push fittings, which are reliable and simple to make. A key benefit of […]
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
HVAC is the collective term for heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems that maintain comfortable temperatures and indoor air quality in a building. The design of any HVAC system has a significant impact on the energy consumption and carbon emissions of the associated building. There are many configurations of HVAC systems, ranging from separate arrangements […]
Heat Pump
First of all, a heat pump does not generate heat. It transfers heat from a source at lower temperature to a user centre at higher temperature. All heat pumps are driven by electricity. Sources of heat can either be air, water or ground. Heat pumps work by refrigerant circulating in a closed loop, under the […]
Heat Networks – Definition
Heat Networks distribute hot water from a centralised source through a looped system of insulated pipes. Users access their energy via individual heat exchangers, serving space heating and / or hot water needs. Heat can be provided by dedicated plant (such as boilers, heat pumps or CHP) or by processes having surplus heat. Networks can […]
Heat Exchanger
The majority of AirMaster units contain one or more aluminium heat exchangers, which enable AirMasters to recover heat from the room air, therefore cutting energy consumption when compared to a natural ventilation solution. Aluminium has been chosen for its high conductivity (237 W/m K) compared to other materials commonly seen in heat exchangers, such a […]
Full Bore Bypass
In SAV FloCon commissioning modules, fast and effective flushing is facilitated by provision of a bypass between the flow and return manifolds, with a bore not less than the internal diameter of the manifolds themselves. This promotes the effective flushing of internal debris introduced to the system during construction, and reduces time spent subsequently in […]
Fuel Poverty
The 3 key factors impacting on fuel poverty are the energy efficiency of the property, the cost of energy and the income of the household. A significant example of property to fall into this category is social housing equipped with electric heating. The result in such schemes is that those who can least afford it […]
