An electronic heat interface unit (HIU) from the leading supplier and manufacturer of quality
hydronic solutions has received a significant accreditation from a
highly regarded testing body.
The Altecnic SATK22 has achieved quality system certification by
KIWA UK, marking further recognition for the company's industry-leading range
of HIUs.
Gary Perry, Altecnic Managing Director, commented: "We're
incredibly proud of the innovation the SATK range brings to the UK district
heating market and this latest accreditation follows similar recognition for
our SATK32 units in July 2018. Both the SATK22 and SATK32 units now hold KIWA
and WRAS accreditation.
"District heat networks are increasingly important to plans
for a low carbon economy and, together with our manufacturing partner Caleffi,
in 2019 we will continue to focus on providing innovative solutions for our
clients alongside best-in-industry technical support."
Packed with features, the SATK22
delivers exceptional flexibility of installation alongside smart
electronic functions designed to enhance efficiency of the system. Such
features include the increasingly important self-diagnostics and remote control
via Mod-BUS connectivity that allows for remote commissioning and efficient
maintenance programmes.
Extremely
compact in design and lightweight, which benefits installers and architects
alike, the unit's integral room controller can be configured to customise the
level of access to the advanced features. This
flexibility provides the opportunity for the HIU to be matched to the
requirements of the network when the unit is installed, with the option to
offer simple controls to the tenant or to give more flexibility to customise
the unit to their personal needs and requirements.
As with the SATK32, the SATK22 will also protect the heat
network from the effects of poor apartment heating control and high start-up
demand. This is achieved by limiting the primary flow rate to reduce demand
peaks and controlling the primary return temperature. As a result, it is a key
component in the successful installation of energy efficient and reliable
district heating systems.
David Jay, KIWA Business Manager, added: "Continuing a
long-standing partnership, Kiwa UK were extremely happy to assist Caleffi and
Altecnic in testing their latest HIUs and subsequently issuing the Kiwa UK
certificate to the SATK22 and SATK32 range for demonstrating compliance with
the UK Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999."
