One of the key elements of most heating systems in the UK is the radiators that share the heat around the home. Stelrad has developed new radiators to complement renewable heating systems – low temperature heating generated by environmentally friendly heating options like heat pumps. Stelrad has added to its series of K3 radiators – three panels and three fins on a radiator footprint that is scarcely larger than a traditional K2 design – and it has added larger radiators – including vertical options – to most of its ranges to allow the radiators everyone has grown used to, to remain relevant to lower temperature systems and to operate comfortably with air source heat pumps in particular.
Much thought has gone into the latest radiator developments and it’s all to ensure that the radiators available from Stelrad are ‘fit for the future’ – and able to keep everyone comfortable and warm.

Altitude training specialist, Altipeak™, has selected Condair humidifiers to control the humidity in their innovative new Altipeak™ Mobile Altitude Pod. The six-man, environmentally controlled training chamber can simulate any climate worldwide, enabling athletes to train under the atmospheric conditions they will ultimately be competing in.
Noel O’Brien, founder and CEO of Altipeak™ International Holdings Ltd, commented, “The Altipeak™ Mobile Altitude Pod was initially designed to assist athletes acclimatise for the Tokyo Olympics, where it could potentially be 35°C and up to 90% relative humidity. Our chambers can monitor and control oxygen and CO2 levels, as well as temperature and humidity. In hot and humid conditions, our body’s maximum rate of oxygen consumption can be reduced by over 12%. Being able to train at the appropriate humidity level is a vital part of the preparation process for athletic success.”
Noel continued, “So it was very important to us that the humidity control system in our mobile training chamber was responsive and accurate, as well as being easy to use. We selected the Condair EL steam humidifier, as it offered us the humidity outputs and control level we needed and has a built-in touch screen controller, which makes operation really simple.”
Damien Power, Condair’s Area Sales Manager for Ireland, commented, “It’s a delight to be working with Noel and the team at Altipeak™, providing the humidification systems for their innovative new training pods. We’re very happy to think that our humidifiers are playing their part in helping athletes around the world achieve their peak performance and go for gold, wherever they may be competing.”
The mobile training pods are built using standard 20ft shipping containers, so are easy to transport and deliver anywhere in the world. They have plug and play service connections and even incorporate Amazon Alexa controls, making them ideal for setting up in sports clubs or training grounds. As well as design and manufacture of specialist training chambers, Altipeak™ International also offer simulated altitude training to people of all fitness levels at their two facilities in Dublin. Training at high altitude conditions has several benefits, including increased lung capacity, increased lactic acid threshold and making muscles more efficient at extracting oxygen from the blood.
The Condair EL steam humidifier being used by Altipeak™, can deliver humidity either directly to a room or to an air handling unit or duct. It is available in capacities from 5 to 180kg/hr and incorporates steam cylinders that last up to three times longer that similar competitive models before they need to be replaced, due to advanced water quality management.

NEW CIBSE-APPROVED DEHUMIDIFIERS CPD FROM CONDAIR
Story
Condair is offering a new online, CIBSE-approved CPD seminar on dehumidification and drying psychrometrics. The 45-minute long presentation includes training on the principles of operation for both desiccant and condensing dehumidifiers, how to correctly select and size a dehumidification system and the psychrometric processes behind drying.
The seminar has been developed specifically for mechanical engineers and consultants. The training has been CIBSE approved, therefore verified to be unbiased, up-to-date and technically accurate. As the presentation is CIBSE-approved, any attendees will receive CIBSE points towards their continuous professional development (CPD) record.
The presentation can be given online via a virtual meeting platform, such as Teams or Zoom. Condair typically delivers these online training sessions to attendees from a single company, to encourage engagement and interaction from attendees. Anyone wanting to book a session can request a date at www.Condair.co.uk/CPD.
Dave Marshall-George, UK Sales Manager at Condair, commented, “Our CPD seminars are always well received by consultants and this new one on dehumidification gives a comprehensive understanding of both the technology and the psychrometrics involved in a dehumidifier specification project. Consultants can expect to learn how the different technologies compare, when to use desiccant or condensing systems, how to calculate what size is needed, plus the many pre- and post-drying processes needed to provide air at a specific humidity condition.”
Dave continues, “Certificates are supplied to all attendees via email following the presentation, so they can register for the CIBSE points.”
The Condair Group is the world’s leading specialist in humidity control and evaporative cooling, with energy efficient, hygienic and innovative technologies for commercial, industrial and heritage applications.
