Wind-iVent
Airtherm Engineering have recently completed the new installation of a natural ventilation system at Tipton Hospice for local firm Cockbill Grant Limited (based in Rugeley, Staffordshire). Airtherm beat our local competition based on our knowledge, experience and technical ability providing detailed design proposals for the client’s consideration.
The Wind-iVent units selected for the project were based on technical information provided by the client, which consisted of room volume measurements, occupancy level, heat gains and the geographical location of the building. Our computer aided calculation package selected the optimal size to match the information inputted by our technical engineer, ensuring optimum performance of the application and satisfaction for the client.
All of our natural ventilation systems are designed in line with current publications such as CIBSE guidelines, AM10 Natural Ventilation in commercial buildings and Building Bulletin 101. The terminal sizes are selected by our new computer aided software ‘Wind-iCalc’ and fully conform to the CIBSE requirements.

Quick installation
Airtherm Engineering's reputation for providing a quick response to clients needs was highlighted by a recent flue installation at student accommodation in Manressa Street (off Kings Road), Chelsea, London.
The client contacted our office to request an engineer to attend site, survey and provide a price the same day. After our initial survey we offered our cost proposal for consideration, after which an order was issued but only on the provision that we could install both flues within 48 hours due to exceptional time constraints.
The product required was in stock and the installation was completed within the 48 hour deadline, much to the delight of our client.

During September 2012, Airtherm Engineering Limited completed a flue installation at All Saints Primary School, Maidenhead, ready for the return of pupils from the summer shut-down.
The Masterflue system installed incorporated a draft stabiliser, as recommended within the manufactures operating and maintenance literature for balancing purposes.
Due to the close proximity of a kitchen ventilation intake (AHU) - approx. 5m distance - the flue system couldn't simply terminate above the flat roof as standard. Instead, our solution was to incorporate an offset towards the taller structure with the twin wall flue system fixed and secured to the existing brick stack.

During December 2012, Airtherm Engineering worked closely with the contractor at Raich Leisure Centre in Sunderland to complete the installation of a Hamworthy Masterflue system.
The flue system installed comprised of a 3m horizontal run and a 7m vertical, incorporating the necessary drains to allow any unwanted condense to evacuate the system.
Our engineers had been given only ten days to arrange both a site meeting and install the complete flue system to meet our clients program. Not only did we fulfil our obligation but Airtherm were a massive 15% cheaper than the boiler manufacture’s own preferred company (on a ‘like for like basis and using the exact same Masterflue( MF) product range).

Airtherm Engineering Limited has recently completed a twin wall fire rated flue installation at Capel Manor Primary School in Enfield. The flue system selected was from the ‘Masterflue’ range.
The Remeha Gas 210 Eco Pro boilers used at the school are a compact floor standing condensing boiler. The small footprint and ability to be installed back to back makes them ideally suited for fluing.
The client requested Airtherm to attend site, prepare and return a fully comprehensive tender, in which design calculations were carried out ensuring the system was adequately sized to convey the products combustion to atmosphere. Due to the huge bulk stock levels in this particular ‘MF’ and our capabilities in reacting quickly, our dedicated team of time served engineers accomplished the mission to our client’s delight.
We are delighted with our performance once again and look forward to working with the client again.

Grange Farm Primary,

Twin Wall
Airtherm Engineering Limited has recently completed a flue dilution installation, working closely with the consultant and contractor at Grange Farm Primary School, Coventry.
The flue system selected for the project needed to be aesthetically pleasing, discreet and blend in with the building features, so a dilution system was chosen over a traditional system, which the client was in total agreement.
Airtherm provided design calculations for the project using the latest iCalc sizing package, along with compressive technical submission and Auto Cad drawings for approval prior to manufacture and ordering of the equipment.
The flue system installed comprised of a 300mm diameter fully welded dilution header, flatk Woods bifurcated epoxy coated fan, stainless steel silencers, volume control regulators and supply and discharge louvres, situated 2m from ground level to comply with Clean Air Act Memorandum.

Considerations
Airtherm can offer a fan dilution system to suit many appliances, from modern high efficiency condensing to gas blown and atmospheric boilers, however the principal of diluting the products of combustion is to reduce the CO² content at the discharge to below 1%, CO 50ppm & NOx 5ppm (BS6644 / IGEUP/10) in line with current legislation.
There are many design considerations that must be achieved, for instance, the correct sizing of the fan unit, dilution header, inlet and discharge plenum boxes, the location to adjacent buildings, openable windows, fresh air vent pipes and final discharge height. These can be found from the Clean Air Act memorandum, IGEUP/10 or BS6644, along with other certain provisions with respect to the final discharge height which is calculated based on the total kw input load of the plant.
Good Practice
There are two methods that can be considered when designing the dilution system -
• Air is directly taken from the outside.
• Fresh air is taken from within the plant area.
We offer a design, supply and installation service for flue dilution systems, and can offer a tailored-made package to site conditions and customer requirements.
