Condensing gas-fired steam humidifier

Condair’s GS condensing gas-fired steam humidifier recovers heat from exhaust gases to preheat the incoming water supply (pictured) to improve energy efficiency. The lower flue-gas temperature also allows plastic, rather than stainless-steel, flues to be used — reducing installation costs. Outputs range from 23 to 272 kg/h. Recovering heat from the flue gases to preheat incoming cold water improves humidity control compared to non-condensing gas humidifiers as the steam output remains more consistent. Compared with electric steam humidifiers, a condensing gas-fired unit has around 60% lower energy costs and will pay for itself within a year or two. The touchscreen controller shows all operating parameters. BMS connectivity is included as standard via Modbus, BACnetIP and BACnet MSTP (slave).

More refrigerant bans possible, says government

The government could tighten up the rules that restrict the use of global warming refrigerant gases including speeding up phase-out programmes and introducing new bans, according to a spokesman from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Baxi research suggests schools strongly support heat decarbonisation

A survey conducted by Baxi of 200 state school estates managers, consultant engineers and M&E contractors has found that while enthusiasm for Net Zero and support for low carbon heating systems in schools is thriving, persistent barriers remain.
