The refrigeration sector can expect a major boost to performance, energy e ciency and convenience with newly developed Sanhua Electronic Kit (SEK). Existing market and value networks are set to be disrupted by this new plug-and-play solution from Sanhua, a global leader in advanced technology solutions for refrigeration industries. Benefits of the new SEK include a choice of up to 20 refrigerants and capacity up to 16 kW – with all required products provided in a single box that delivers ultimate convenience for installers and technicians. The new SEK comprises SEC controller, LPF electronic expansion valve, pressure transducer (with Packard cable) and temperature sensor, allowing rapid system set-up for virtually all common applications. In addition, with fewer brazed points the risk of leaks is reduced dramatically, providing greater system reliability. Additionally, the SEK is completely compatible with A2L refrigerants, while a fully sealed valve body and fast reaction time (for better control of refrigerant glide) help deliver an installation with low environmental impact. Any refrigeration installer or technician interested in a complete and simple electronic kit that provides better control, wider refrigerant compatibility and lower energy consumption should enquire about the new SEK from Sanhua. https://www.sanhuaeurope.com/ en/ WATERLOO STRENGTHENS DISPLACEMENT OFFERING Waterloo has strengthened its product oering by replacing its displacement range with the full portfolio of Swegon displacement products. By integrating a range of airborne products from the Swegon group, the supplier of air terminal devices can deliver the widest range of room unit products in the UK market. The new range of displacement terminals are made to eectively discharge air at low velocity to ensure good comfort in rooms. In large spaces such as airports, theatres, factory floors, open o ces, and supermarkets where a traditional mixed system can fall short; using a displacement system can have significant advantages on indoor air quality and e ciency. Rooms with high ceilings can benefit from substantial energy savings by installing the displacement terminals with Varizon, as only the occupied zone needs to be cooled from the low level of displacement installation. Waterloo has introduced 11 models, the majority of which are complete with Swegon’s Varizon system: oering one of the best levels of user comfort at close range on the market. The terminal can be set to move the near zone away from critical areas reducing the risk of draughts. This can be particularly eective in conference rooms with high occupancy & minimal space. The nozzles can also be readjusted after commissioning in instances of o ce restructure & occupant relocation. By integrating selected airborne products from the Swegon group, Waterloo is now in the position to oer the widest range of room unit products on the UK market. www.waterloo.co.uk HITACHI SILENT ICONIC ARRIVES IN UK Hitachi’s award-winning 4-way cassette unit design panel, the Silent Iconic, is now available in the UK. It has already picked up three international product design awards – the iF Design Award 2020 in the Product category, the Good Design Award 2020 and the Red Dot Best of the Best Product Design 2021. Maintaining the cost-benefit, ease of installation and performance of a cassette, the new Silent Iconic design panel is said to deliver a stylish yet unobtrusive design. The four louvres are black to reduce the visual impact and the central inlet is louvred to blend with architectural ceiling styles. Gordon Sutton, Hitachi Cooling & Heating managing director, UK & Ireland, said: “The launch of this unique and innovative solution bridges the gap between the existing duct type and the conventional 4-way cassette, breaking the commercial rules where air conditioning units are selected either for their performance, functionality and price or their visual appearance in the space. We expect this unit to be universally popular – with architects and specifiers, contractors and installers, and our end-users.” https://www.hitachi-hvac.co.uk/innovation/silent- iconic The Innovation Zone
