Reduced running costs are said to be just one of the benefits of installing Vision radiant tube heaters from AmbiRad in a large space building in Cheshire. The existing system, despite consuming a considerable amount of gas, could not adequately heat the premise. In terms of economy, effectiveness, comfort and zoning capabilities the AmbiRad Vision fitted the bill. The range is said to have one of the highest efficiency ratings for radiant tube heaters, and is the only range of its kind listed on the government's Energy Technology Listing, making it eligible for Enhanced Capital Allowances.

For an effective heating system during a refurbishment at the Royal Air Force Museum in Hendon, a continuous Nor-Ray-Vac radiant tube heating from AmbiRad was chosen. The system emits low-intensity heat with even distribution, which is said to be suitable for creating comfort conditions for visitors and staff but without affecting the valuable aircraft on display. The 38kW LR series linear burners with one discharge fan were installed. The heaters are controlled in two separate zones, allowing the Museum to shut down heating in one section when it is necessary to do so. As a result, unnecessary use of fuel is eliminated and running costs are kept to a minimum. The choice of the Nor-Ray-Vac heating system was based on previous experience. Mike Gell, Building and Services Manager at the museum said: 'We have used this type of radiant heating for a number of years and have found it to be a cost-effective solution.'

Keeping staff comfortable and preventing energy loss at AstraZeneca is an Airbloc ACR recessed air curtain, installed between two doorways in the lobby area. The air curtain delivers a ?sheet? of air at critical velocity that prevents internal air escaping or external air infiltrating. As a result conditions within the lobby area remain constant.

With the velocity and volume to make it effective at mounting heights of up to 4m, Airbloc has introduced a new high capacity air curtain (ACR High Capacity). The high capacity units are available in two sizes - 1.2m and 1.8m wide. Its 600mm outlet grille makes the air curtain suitable for suspended modular t-bar ceiling tile systems.
