Roofmate LG-A Supports Code And BREEAM Targets

Roofers looking for easy wins when it comes to energy efficiency have a new insulation product to turn to Roofmate LG-A from Dow Building Solutions. New parapet insulation extends choice for roofers. The Styrofoam product is ideally suited to parapet insulation, and comes with a 10mm modified concrete topping to minimise cost and installation time.

It also complements the increasingly popular Roofmate SL-A insulation boards, designed for inverted warm roofs. Dow's A-foam range uses recycled CO2 as a blowing agent, resulting in a Global Warning Potential (GWP) of less than five - new Roofmate LG-A qualifies for Code for Sustainable Homes and BREEAM insulation specification credits. "Providing Roofmate LG in our environmentally-advanced A-foam format combines the proven benefits of the inverted roof system with an insulation product for parapets that's better for the environment," explained Richard Powell, UK Roofing Manager for Dow Building Solutions.

"It extends our roofing insulation range even further, whilst maintaining the well-known qualities of Styrofoam - low water absorption, ease of installation and of course superior insulating performance". Roofmate LG-A provides an efficient method of insulating parapets and preventing them from becoming a 'cold-sink', drawing heat from inside the building. They lock together to provide a continuous insulation layer and reduced wind-lift effects.

The boards are light enough for one man to install - even in wet weather - and they can easily be added to existing waterproofing layers. The product - which can also be used for lightweight inverted roofs - will initially be available in a thickness of 80mm plus 10mm mortar topping, with board lengths of 1,250mm and width of 600mm.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as

SMOKE SPILL INDUCTION MOTORS

STANDARDS AS 1668, AS 1359, BS 7349, BS 4999, BS 5000, IEC 34, IEC 72. GENERAL Western Electric Smoke Spill motors are designed to meet the requirements of Bitish and Australian Standards. AS 1668. 1 states that the objectives of Smoke Control are:         a) to vent smoke from the fir-affected compartment: and         b) to reduce the spread of smoke to fire isolated exits and other compartments.   In general Smoke Spimm motors are required to continue to operate driving extraction fans in a building, in the case of a fire. Usually these motors operate air circulation fans as part of the normal operation of the building, however if a fire occurs they must continue to operate for a period of time to extract smoke and\or dangerous fumes from the building and allow rescue services some assistance in rescuing any occupants still in the building. it is expected that hte fumes being extracted will be at high temperatures, well above normal ambients
