Cooling and Heating Sales Introduce the Hi-Velocity- HE System

The very latest development in Air Conditioning

Cooling and Heating Sales Ltd, the Essex based indoor air quality solutions and air conditioning specialists, is currently the exclusive UK distributor for the new Hi-Velocity- HE System, which has an inverter indoor fan motor and is delivering new levels of comfort and cost efficiency to the residential and commercial air conditioning market, as yet unseen in the UK’s HVAC industry.The system works by delivering air via a series of mini ducts, which can be discreetly positioned wherever suitable, resulting in a draught free and even temperature finish ( +/- 1 deg C floor to ceiling, wall to wall). The enhanced system also has a programmed EPC motor and controller and achieves operating efficiencies of up to 78% (an increase of 20% over the conventional PSC motor) which no other small duct high velocity (SDHV) manufacturer has previously achieved. With its proven reliability using a three-phase induction motor and near zero torque pulsation, for an even quieter operation, the Hi-Velocity-HE System brings proven industrial technology to the residential and commercial market. The patented ‘Mass Flow’ technology provides a constant CFM throughout the programming range and environmental conditions no longer dictate how the system runs as a new controller adjusts the voltage and frequency to maintain its programmed CFM.

The new system is field programmable up to 30kW of heating and 5 to 17kW of cooling. The Hi-Velocity system can be connected to a number of heat / cool sources, boilers, heat pump water chillers, ground source heat pump and air conditioning condensing units. Each programmed tonnage having up to five adjustments for on-site fine-tuning. The motor and controller are separate units and require no recalibration, making field replacements simple and cost effective.

By using air to water heat pump chillers (up to 11.7kW inverter on single phase supply), both heating and cooling can be achieved without the need for using refrigerant gases. The Hi Velocity system was well received at the recent RAC exhibition in the NEC. Cooling and Heating Sales was set up five years ago to offer bespoke solutions to a range of indoor air quality requirements. Building on 18 years years experience in the industry, Joe Flanagan has since developed an impressive and highly skilled team that can provide independent and unbiased solutions to a range of projects requiring heating, cooling or general air management.

Commenting on the new system Flanagan said “It is great to be leading the way with the introduction and distribution of this new system. We see this as the perfect solution for a whole range of domestic and commercial environments whether it is for heating, cooling, ventilation, heat recovery or air cleaning.

Section 2

General Description

We would supply deliver, install and commission 4 No. Hi-Velocity ducted systems, generally as detailed in manufacturer’s literature. Each system would comprise a high velocity high pressure air handling unit incorporating a direct expansion refrigerant based heating/cooling coil, low pressure hot water heating coil fan and air filter. The air would be discharged via insulated and vapour sealed ductwork and 80 mm dia. flexible attenuators 3.5 m long, to ceiling, wall or floor outlets.

The outlets would discharge high velocity air to the treated areas. The high velocity creates a low pressure column which induces the room air to provide a virtually draft free system with minimal temperature gradient.The installation would be to Hi-Velocitiy’s recommended specification and standard. The refrigeration and electrical installation would be in accordance with Section 3 “Installation Specification”.

Each system would comprise a Hi-Velocity attenuated flexible return air duct to the plenum chamber on the air handling unit, where fresh air would be introduced. The mixed air would then be filtered heated or cooled at the dictates of a remote temperature sensor and discharged via insulated and vapour sealed Hi-Velocity “snap lock” ductwork to the HE 3.5 metre attenuators and discharged at high velocity via the supply valves. In addition the system serving the Adult Library would incorporate the existing attenuator.

In the Adult Library/Learning resources (F8), system reference 3, two separate temperature controlled zones would be available via on/off motorised dampers.

Systems 1, 2 and 3 would serve by a heat pump type inverter outdoor unit as manufactured by Messrs Diakin via a purpose made interface panel designed specifically for use with the Hi-Velocity system.

Interconnecting refrigerants and electrical services between the direct expansion coil and the outdoor unit would be in accordance with the equipment and installation specification—Section 3.

The systems would be installed generally as indicated on the drawings as scheduled.

Hi-Velocity Mini Duct Systems
As an alternative to traditional Underfloor Heating, Warm Air Heating or Central Heating Systems
Hi Velocity mini duct systems offer the perfect solution for Indoor Air Quality in the home and office in london or anywhere in the UK, as the new choice for traditional underfloor heating, warm air heating or central heating systems; click here to see the Hi Velocity mini duct systems product details.

The vast range of applications includes domestic properties, offices, conference facilities, professional training facilities, factories and commercial kitchens. retail outlets, server rooms, hotels, laboratories, pubs and clubs, restaurants, doctor’s surgery, hospitals, leisure centres. art studios, schools and colleges. residential care homes.

Mini Duct Systems are well suited for industrial commercial or domestic markets, the air handler can be connected to existing boilers or inverter driven Heat Pump condensing units and chilled water heat pump or ground source heat pumps. By using the Condensing units the system can now deliver cooling and heating, cooling can either be fitted at the time of initial installation or as a retrofit at a later date The running costs of the heat pump Condensing Units are far more cost effective compared with traditional gas boilers and in many cases this is the discreet manner.

The Hi Velocity Systems utilizes a modular Air Handler connected to a series of small flexible ducts, eliminating the need for either traditional radiators or under floor heating and systems. The most important benefit of using mini duct heating and cooling system is the discrete way the heated air is delivered giving even temperatures without draughts.

Additional to heating and cooling, up to 100% fresh air ventilation can also be introduced into the air handler either directly or via a heat recovery system. A great choice instead of having to use the Underfloor heating, warm air heating or central heating systems, whether you are based in london or any where in the UK.

Indoor Air Quality

hi-velocity-esp-117-01-he-ps-brochure_web-1.jpg

Do you have any concerns over the IAQ, indoor air quality, of any of the cooling, heating or ventilation projects you are working on?

The Hi Velocity mini duct system has just gotten even better. With Hi Velocity we can cool and/or heat your commercial, retail, industrial and residential environments without draughts and with an even temperature – no hot or cold spots. Regarding temperature, comfort is the absence of sensation. In other words, the environment should feel comfortable – an even temperature with no hot/cold areas, no stratification and no draughts. This is exactly how the Hi Velocity mini duct system operates. Add to this the ability to connect to fresh air introduction systems and you have a very comfortable environment.

But what if you are worried about the cleanliness of the air? The new Hi Velocity purification system, the HEPS, is the answer. With technology involving 6 world patens the HEPS involves three systems in one:

1 The high efficiency needle fibre electrostatic filtration media (developed by the 3M corporation) filtrates to 0.3 microns.

2 Photo-catalytic oxidation removes gas phase toxic chemicals and volatile organic compounds.

3 The ultra violet light (2 lamps) kills viruses and bacteria.

The first HEPS has now been installed in the UK with four more currently being installed. Please contact us for more information including reports from the University of Hong Kong, University of Pennsylvania and Alpha Scientists in Reproductive Medicines.

The HEPS can be easily added to any Hi Velocity installation, contact us to discuss your requirements.
