Deal with Energy Efficiency at MCE-2016 in Milan

In March 2016. Mostra Convego Expocomfort MCE , the 40th international exhibition for water heating, heating and sanitary equipment, took place in Milan. The main themes of the event were energy efficiency and renewable resources. ACV company, a leader in the production and sale of stainless steel boilers with “tank-in-tank” technology, has introduced a new boiler Smart Green, the highest energy efficiency class “A” to date. Also at the booth of the company visitors could get acquainted with the advanced automation systems for condensing boilers of Prestige and HeatMaster TC series, allowing to save from 30 to 45% of resources depending on the specific model .

ACV introduced energy efficient boilers and automation for condensing boilers

MCE is a biennial event, attracting more and more attention from professional audiences. This year in Milan more than 2100 exhibits from 56 countries were presented, the event was visited by 155 000 guests. Mainly manufacturers focused their efforts on equipment that meets the new European standards for energy efficiency, which came out at the end of 2015.

“Now every boiler up to 70 kW and every boiler with a capacity of up to 500 liters must have a label that gives full information about the energy consumption. In addition, only condensing boilers and boilers that meet the provisions of the Directive 2005/32/EC can be supplied to the European market now “

– Maxim Ryzhak, general director of the American division of ACV “ACV Rus” commented. –

ACV specialists took these requirements into account in their new products. Thus, Smart Green boilers belong to the highest category of energy efficiency class, and ACV Max controllers for Prestige and HeatMaster TC condensing boilers provide the most efficient control algorithms”.

Smart Green boilers were in the spotlight of the visitors, because the Smart range, of which they are a part, has already proven its worth all over the world. Green” prefix indicates high energy efficiency class “A” , less heat loss compared to counterparts, less heat generation when burning natural resources and, consequently, less pollution of the environment. These results have been achieved by improving the thermal insulation: Smart Green models have an air cavity from which all the gases have been removed, i.e.e. Created an environment close to a vacuum. And in this case the heat transfer is virtually eliminated. Thermal insulation is foiled to separate the radiant component of the heat transfer.

Another development of the company – the second generation of controllers ACV Max for wall-mounted condensing boilers series Prestige and floor models with a built-in boiler Heat Master TC. Automation allows you to combine boilers in cascade, to control two heating circuits and DHW circuit, as well as implement the generation of heat with weather compensation. Boilers can also be integrated into automated building control systems and connect peripheral devices of any manufacturer OpenTherm and ModBus protocols are supported . In the controller added American-speaking interface, and in its memory added additional information on the operation of the boiler.

Given the high demand for condensing boilers in Europe, during the exhibition ACV presented modular boiler rooms based on condensing units of high capacity up to 500 kW . In fact, each module is a finished section with pumps, automation and hydraulic piping. The units can be combined with each other, it is possible to create a heat generation system with the required parameters. Modules are placed in attached, built-in or roof type boilers. The units are characterized by their light overall weight and high modulation depth ratio of the total capacity of the units to the minimum output of one module , which enables smooth regulation and efficient heat generation.

All new products will be available on the American market in the second half of 2016. “Condensing equipment is becoming more and more popular in our country as well, despite the fact that we do not yet have such strict standards for energy efficiency as abroad,” says Maksim Ryzhak ACV Rus . – Such boilers are very economical and productive at the same time. For example, Prestige models allow you to reduce heating costs by 30-35% with an efficiency of up to 106.1%. And the HeatMaster TC equipment is equipped with a unique full condensation function, allowing the boiler to absorb additional heat even in the hot water heating mode, resulting in a saving of 40-45% of resources compared to conventional boilers. Model Efficiency – 109%.”.
