With the new Wilo Stratos-MAXO pump, designed and introduced for use in large residential projects and light commercial ones, Wilo has seen fit to define ‘smart’ to distinguish this incredible new pump from anything that has gone before.

This new pump is available in the UK and Ireland now. By featuring innovative energy-saving functions and new control modes it attains maximum system efficiency and the highest level of compatibility with existing systems.

Wilo understands a ‘smart-pump’ to be a new category of pumps, which goes far beyond its previous high-efficiency pumps or pumps with pump intelligence. Only the combination of the latest sensor technology and innovative control functions – for example Dynamic Adapt Plus and Multi-Flow Adaptation – bi-directional connectivity using Bluetooth, integrated analogue inputs, binary inputs and outputs, and the Wilo Net interface, software updates and excellent usability, thanks to the Setup Guide, the preview principle for predictive navigation and the tried and tested Green Button Technology – that’s what makes this pump, a smart-pump.

It’s the pump offering the highest system efficiency on the market, thanks to the optimised and innovative energy efficiency functions such as ‘Multi-Flow Adaptation’ and ‘No-Flow Stop’ along with an outstanding EEI ≤ 0.17.

When GF Piping Systems introduced the revolutionary COOL-FIT system, it completely changed the way refrigeration applications are planned, installed and operated. COOL-FIT 4.0 continues the revolution spectacularly: A technological leap for users with the highest demands for production and process safety and maintenance of high quality food storage facilities. COOL-FIT 4.0 helps you work with maximum efficiency while simultaneously reducing maintenance and operating costs. The new system has its official premiere at the Chillventa, starting today in Nurnberg.

COOL-FIT 4.0 is a complete system made of factory pre-insulated pipes, fittings, valves and hoses for secondary cooling with brine, glycol and ethanol as well as cooled water in the range of – 50 °C to 60 °C. “COOL-FIT 4.0 brings the unique advantages of our pre-insulated systems to users with the most demanding cooling and freezing applications,” says Mark Bulmer, Global Segment Manager Cooling at GF Piping Systems. “These include companies in food and beverage production, such as fruit and vegetable processors, slaughterhouses, breweries and supermarkets.”

COOL-FIT 4.0 shares the advantages of all COOL-FIT products compared to metal systems:

• 100% maintenance-free, as plastics are permanently corrosion-free: The media pipe, insulation and jacket of COOL-FIT are made of high-quality plastics and so are corrosion- and maintenance-free throughout the system’s entire operating life. This reduces expensive interruptions of operation and lowers maintenance costs and personnel requirements.
• 100% reliable over the system’s entire operating life: The especially smooth interior surface of the medium pipe, typical for plastic systems, reliably prevents deposits. That means: No additional loss of pressure over the entire service life, COOL-FIT remains as efficient as on the first day.
• Planning and installation are simplified due to 65% less weight: COOL-FIT is much lighter than traditional metal systems and so places much lower structural demands on buildings and supporting structures. Heavy transportation aids are no longer needed at the construction site, or they can be reduced.
• 50% faster installation: Factory pre-insulation of COOL-FIT replaces traditional insulation after installation, which often requires a second team at the construction site. You receive finished and permanently insulated components, which can be used without delay.
• Lower operating costs because of 30% higher energy efficiency: The low heat conductance of plastic and the highly effcient and robust foam insulation together increase your system’s energy efficiency. That helps save energy costs and makes your work more environmentally friendly.

At the same time, COOL-FIT 4.0 offers additional decisive advantages:

• Connected in a few minutes: The design has been further improved and simplified – no unnecessary or complicated installation steps. The system can be installed neatly and easily and connected within a few minutes through electrofusion. The system can start up without delay.
• Installation also outdoors: The new design also allows the use of COOL-FIT 4.0 outdoors. All surfaces are sealed, and so protected from rain and all other influences, also UV-resistant. The sealing lip of the fittings surrounds the pipe and reliably protects the insulation from water and ice.
• Always control of the quality: Thanks to its reduction of installation steps and use of electrofusion as jointing technology, COOL-FIT 4.0 permits a degree of control that was previously not possible. Installation errors are largely excluded in advance, which ensures a system of the highest possible quality.

“COOL-FIT 4.0 is a technological leap, the fruit of many years of development efforts,” says Daniel Dossenbach, Head of Pre-Insulated Systems at GF Piping Systems. “It markedly improves planning, processing and service life. The result is a system with maximum capability, which is also esthetically attractive.”

COOL-FIT 4.0 is a solution from GF Piping Systems, the global expert for safe and reliable transport of water, chemicals and gas, with customers in more than 100 countries. GF Piping Systems offers complete system solutions made of plastic with more than 60,000 products and supports in all phases of a project – from planning to commissioning.

Wylex have launched a new product to support customers with the 18th Edition wiring regulations, the single module arc fault detection device. The latest innovation contains 3 forms of technology in one. Including MCB, RCD and AFDD technology. The device prevents electrical fires from arc faults, and can be retrofitted into existing boards

Smaller device. Greater Protection.

Wylex has launched a new single module arc fault detection device to help prevent electrical fires.
One of the leading brands of Electrium, Wylex, has been providing electrical safety excellence in the UK electrical distribution industry for over 100 years.
The launch of the single module arc fault detection device is one of several solutions made available by the brand to help customers conform towards the IET 18th Edition of the wiring regulations.

How does it work?

This clever little device detects and disconnects arc faults which could lead to an electrical fire in the home.

It does both the job of an MCB and RCD, and it is able to detect arc faults that these types of technology simply can’t. What’s more, it is half the size of its predecessor and can be retrofitted into existing boards. Providing you with more space and time on your next job.

Wylex AFDDs carry out a self-test function when initially powered up, and the AFDD repeats this self-test function every 15 hours. They also have a test button (just like an RCDs or RCBOs), which you can use during the initial verification or EICR. Model certificates now include AFDDs among the devices listed, with space for test results.

What the regs say

As part of the latest IET wiring regulations, the 18th Edition does say that the using arc fault detection devices is recommended to provide additional protection against fire caused by arc faults in the final AC circuits. In a recent survey on Arc Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs), the majority of respondents agreed that the technology can help to prevent electrical fires.

However, protecting people and property from electrical fires is mandatory as Simon Rowlinson, Product Manager for Electrium, recently discussed.
