Movers and Makers

Ventilation manufacturer EnviroVent has launched the myenvirovent app for use with their Energisava 250 and 380 MVHR systems. The app is available for download on iOS and Android and will offer greater control for home ventilation. It will allow the end user to access certain settings on the unit from anywhere in the home. Through the app users can also access user guides and technical documents, and can provide feedback and future product requests to the EnviroVent R&D centre. Other benefits include notifications when filter changes are due and user access to EnviroVent’s technical support team.

RCM Products, supplier of grilles, louvres and diffusers for air-conditioning and heating, has relocated to a new office in Kempston, Bedfordshire. The new facility has enabled the company to increase and develop its manufacturing capacity and has provided the scope to purchase and install an automated welding machine and sheet metal folder. The company has also been able to install a new computer system which it says has significantly improved its overall efficiency. 

Lighting control manufacturer Hamilton Litestat reports the recent completion of the expansion of its facilities in Bristol. As a result of business growth, Hamilton was able to expand its Bristol site, centralising all operations to improve efficiency. The expansion incorporates a new customer contact centre and an engineering centre of excellence to house all of Hamilton’s engineering, design and manufacturing services. The site also offers space for meetings and training sessions open to customers and industry organisations to use for free. Visitors to the facility can even participate in a behind-the-scenes tour.

Quiet, wall-mounted air-conditioning

The MSZ-LN wall-mounted air-conditioning unit by Mitsubishi Electric has been awarded the Noise Abatement Society’s Quiet Mark. MSZ-LN is the first in the company’s range of units using the new R32 refrigerant, which has a low global warming potential. The company says the unit’s design reflects its advanced range of features. The MSZ-LN range offers noise levels as low as 19dBA and is available in a choice of four sizes from 2.5kW to 6.1kW. The unit includes a built-in wi-fi interface that enables full control and monitoring via the company’s MELCloud App, while a sensor in the unit automatically monitors room occupancy. Available colours include Ruby Red, Onyx Black, Pearl White and Natural White.

Gas-fired condensing boiler

Bosch Commercial and Industrial has recently rebranded its SB745 gas-fired condensing boiler, which will now be known as the Uni 8000F. The product was originally introduced under the Buderus brand. The update will see it carry full Bosch branding, including the company’s recognisable grey and red design. The compact boiler provides outputs of 800kW, 1,000kW and 1,200kW, and incorporates a water routing system and burnout combustion chamber to achieve seasonal efficiency. No minimum flow rate is required, meaning installers do not require additional devices during installation. The unit is fitted with a flue gas silencer to minimise noise emissions and a thermal insulation casing to increase efficiency.

Zumtobel has designed the new Vaero LED pendant luminaire for modern office environments. The pendant’s minimalist design means it can be integrated into any office area, from classic working environments to creative communication zones. Vaero’s design includes a slim, transparent light-emitting surface, eliminating the need for a converter box. The luminaire body has been designed without a frame, and the centre bar is available in untreated aluminum, black or bronze. Individual LED points of light are dispersed throughout the design, creating a balanced brightness distribution. The company says this design is intended to improve visual comfort.

All-in-one emergency lighting

Tridonic has developed an all-in-one solution for emergency lighting. The newly launched EM Ready2apply recessed downlight includes all components for emergency lighting in one single box: light source, driver, battery and optic. In response to market demand, and the need to reduce on-site disruption, the manufacturer wanted to design a compact and easy-to-install product that could be inserted into the ceiling void through a minimal cut-out. The result was a stand-alone emergency luminaire. To keep maintenance costs low the system uses a lithium-iron phosphate battery, which has a service life of eight years. Three interchangeable optics for anti-panic, escape-route and spot lighting are also available.
