Humidity control specialist, Condair, has published a new podcast about how humidifiers can provide economic evaporative cooling in air handling units.
The 10-minute interview with Dave Marshall-George, Sales Director at Condair, sees Dave explaining the different strategies available for using humidifiers for cooling in AHUs, as well as the opportunities and limitations each strategy presents. He also outlines a real life case study that illustrates the energy saving benefits of a direct air evaporative cooling design used in a recent telecommunications AHU project.
The podcast was produced in association with BusinessNet Explorer and can be listened to from Condair’s website, Condair.co.uk, or can be found on Apple iTunes, Spotify, Soundcloud and Google Podcasts by searching for “Condair podcast”.
The podcast is Condair’s first published podcast, as Dave Marshall-George explains, “Podcasts are a great way for engineers to listen and learn whilst in their car or on their way to work. We wanted to engage with this bite-sized learning channel to deliver useful information on a topic we are seeing more and more interest in from consultants and AHU companies. Our short podcast on evaporative cooling is very easy listening and perfect for a 10-minute coffee break escape.”
For anyone wanting more information on the subject of using humidifiers for evaporative cooling in air handling units, Dave Marshall-George will be delivering a 1-hour CIBSE approved webinar on the topic at 2pm on 29/09/21. To register for this, visit Condair.co.uk/webinars.

RADIATORS AND HEAT PUMPS…ARE THEY GOOD PARTNERS?
Story
Stelrad Radiators has responded to concerns about radiators working well alongside renewable heating systems such as air source heat pumps. Lower temperature heating systems will require larger radiators….but they will work well with heat pumps.
The key to radiators operating well in any situation is to size them properly at the outset, which involves accurately working out heat loss calculations to achieve the necessary number of BTUs required to provide comfort heating in each room and to select the right sized radiator.
You can achieve the extra boost radiators need by replacing the existing single or double panel radiators with the new K3 radiators that have three panels and three sets of fins – providing the additional metal surfaces you need but with the same radiator footprint.
Stelrad has anticipated the significant move towards air source heat pumps in the UK and has added new, larger size radiators to its portfolio. It has increased the K3 radiator options and added many new vertical radiators to their range too.
Radiators are very much ‘fit for the future’ – head for www.stelrad.com for more information.

HEAT PUMPS – THE SUSTAINABLY SENSIBLE HEATING SOLUTION …
Story
With recent announcements from Government about the decarbonisation of heating in the UK, the spotlight has been trained on the use of proven renewable technology to provide our heating and hot water.
Air to Water Heat Pump (AWHP) systems – monoblocs or splits – present energy-saving options for a home’s heating and hot water system. By replacing a traditional gas, oil, or solid fuel system, an AWHP can significantly reduce carbon emissions and energy usage. These device’s absorption of natural energy from external air makes them consume less energy than conventional heating systems.
Most homes in the UK are ideal for a Monobloc air to water heat pump. A Split system is an option generally for more complex installations and it can be installed up to 30m away from the home, which gives far more installation flexibility.
The LG Therma V R32 Monobloc range has already had a massive impact on the residential heat pump market. The unit is compact, meeting permitted planning permission guidelines, has a low GWP and an energy rating label of A+++.
For more information on the LG Therma V range head for www.lg.com/uk/heating-awhp.
