WARMFLOW
Agentis combi oil boiler
The team at Warmflow has launched its new oil boiler range – which sees its combi boiler moving from AA rated to AAA rated status. The new Agentis combi boiler is also now one of the slimmest on the market at only 515mm wide, to ensure it fits into kitchen and utility room spaces. To make servicing easier there is a 24ltr hinged expansion vessel and other installer friendly features include a reduced component count, O ring push fit connections, and a domestic hot water mini expansion vessel. Warmflow predicts that the additional components added will save an installation engineer around £150 and two hours labour in time saved fitting the components.

ARISTON
Velis Evo & Velis Evo Wi-Fi
Ariston has added the new Velis Evo and Velis Evo Wi-Fi to its growing range of electric storage water heaters. Boasting an ultra slim twin tank design for up to 16% more hot water availability, the units are available in capacities of 45 and 80 litres. The range features Ariston’s ‘ECO EVO’ function – an electronic control with automatic learning software, which the company believes will enable users to achieve energy savings of up to 14%. The new products also achieve an ErP ‘B’ rating across the range as well as benefitting from the company’s ABS Safety System which includes ‘Anti-Overheating’, ‘Anti-Freezing’ and ‘Dry Heating Self-Diagnosis’ functions.
VERICON
BCM:Connect boiler control
Vericon Systems, a provider of building management systems and technologies, has launched BCM:Connect, an intelligent universal device that monitors a boiler’s health and status in real time and predicts when it might fail to allow preventative maintenance to ensure it is working when needed most. Especially targeted at Housing Associations the device records and sends intelligent performance data to the cloud or management system where it can be analysed to predict and identify common failures such as low pressure, loss of gas and even a frozen condensate pipe. According to the company, the device can be fitted in under 10 minutes and is mounted adjacent to the boiler, thus not affecting any boiler warranties or safety qualifications. It connects in the same way as a traditional smart thermostat without any dependence on an occupants Wi-Fi network.

The new Filter has a one-way valve for ease of adding system chemicals and has a drainage point at the bottle for ease of access during servicing, as well as an isolation valve indicator to visually assist when isolating the filter.
ADVECO
FPi Range of Commercial ASHP
Hot water and heating specialist Adveco, in partnership with Italian heating manufacturer Cosmogas, has introduced the FPi range of commercial-grade Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP). The two variants, the FPi-9 and FPi-13, feature compact monobloc design and are capable of providing domestic hot water (DHW) at up to 55°C, or cool water to -7°C for use in fan coils. Ranging up to a high COP of 4.7, FPi ASHPs can make a real impact on a property’s energy consumption. The FPi range has been designed to be virtually maintenance free, requiring simple, regular cleaning of the coil and filter. Sensors constantly check pressure and each unit is equipped as standard with frost protection, enabling them to operate effectively even if temperatures drop as low as -25°C.
