Heating & cooling

Radiators work as part of central heating or local room heating systems. Different heat outputs, wattages and IP ratings suit them to particular applications in domestic, commercial and public buildings. Sculptural radiators are design features in their own right. Their distinctive geometric shapes and high-quality stainless steel finishes make

Radiant heaters are used to heat buildings where a convection heater , such as radiators or trench heating, would not be suitable. They are typically specified for large areas such as sports halls, industrial buildings, warehouses, churches and atria. Energy emitted from a warm element directly heats people and objects rather than the air as with

Chilled beams and ceilings are a type of convection HVAC system suitable for use in large buildings. They can provide both heating and cooling. Passive chilled beams rely solely on convection, while the active type , also known as induction diffusers, are connected to ducts to push supply air to the unit, increasing the heating and cooling

Boilers provide hot water or steam for general domestic use, central heating systems and industrial processes. Boilers for domestic / residential central heating and hot water are compact units, designed to fit into small spaces in the home. Condensing and combi boilers are typically specified for these applications. Boilers for commercial

Convection heaters provide warm air heating for expansive industrial and commercial spaces, warehouses and sports halls. Unit heaters are heavy-duty room-sealed fan heaters, which can be floor or wall mounted or suspended from ceilings. Cabinet heaters can incorporate additional ventilation and extraction services. Destratification fans are used

Burners are used to heat water for general hot water supply, central heating or industrial processes. Single-stage burners are suited to smaller applications such as domestic properties or small commercial buildings. In mild conditions, the burner will switch on and off to maintain temperature, which can cause fluctuations and reduce efficiency

Chillers are compressor-based cooling systems that are similar to air conditioners except that they cool and control the temperature of a liquid instead of air. Precision air conditioning chillers enable close control of temperature and humidity in data centres, IT facilities and equipment rooms. Process cooling chillers ensure accurate

Heat exchangers facilitate the transfer of heat from one medium to another, and in the building environment they are typically used in services such as heating, refrigeration / cooling and air conditioning. In process engineering , heat exchangers can be used in power generation, chemical, petrochemical and natural gas processing, and sewage

Underfloor heating and cooling systems are an efficient means of heating: they provide a stable room temperature with minimal convection and associated draughts. They provide a pleasant warmth underfoot in domestic bathrooms, kitchens and public swimming pools. UFH systems save wall space that is traditionally used by radiators, enabling open

Water heaters are used to provide a continuous supply of hot water, which is stored in an insulated tank. They are available for domestic / residential applications as well as larger commercial or public buildings. Vented water heaters rely on a volume of stored cold water, usually kept in a plastic tank, to feed the hot water storage cylinder

Thermostatic radiator valves (TRV) consist of two parts: a sensor and a valve. The sensor monitors room temperature and adjusts the valve in order to control the flow of hot water to the radiator. If it’s too cold, it increases the flow, and if it’s too hot it shuts it off. Most TRVs are set manually, although they can also be controlled

A wide range of valves is available for controlling the flow of cold water, hot water, air and steam in heating, air conditioning, ventilation and water supply systems. Pressure balancing valves (PBVs) measure and balance flow rates in heating and cooling systems, ensuring that the desired rate is achieved irrespective of any pressure changes

Combined heat and power (CHP) , also known as co-generation, is a technology that simultaneously generates heat and electrical power from a single source. sate heat from the power generator is captured via a heat exchanger, and can be used to provide space heating, hot water, or steam. With some equipment, cooling can also be provided. Where a
