New chapter in ACV’s history

In 1922, the Belgian company ACV was founded with the dream of providing warmth and comfort to people around the world. Over the last century, ACV evolved into an international industry leader in the manufacturing and supply of quality stainless steel hot water equipment, with flagship technologies such as Tank-in-Tank and HeatMaster.

In August 2018, ACV was acquired by Groupe Atlantic, enabling it to reach new heights and seize new business opportunities, by opening up to previously unexplored markets.

To mark this important new chapter in ACV’s history, and to celebrate in 2022 one hundred years of existence as a brand, ACV updated its company logo and modernized its branding. This change was an evolution rather than a revolution, to show the world that ACV remains true to its DNA, while at the same time embarking on new business ventures.

The new ACV logo is a symbol of stability, craftsmanship and knowhow, all represented by a drop of water sheltering a flame, to convey excellence in hot water solutions.

The BIM content offering of ACV has recently been expanded. Discover the ACV product ranges on MEPcontent.com

How BIM helps with Wkb according to Ubbink

"At the moment, not every contractor or installer is aware of it." "However, starting in mid-2022, an independent quality assurance agency will examine whether all building plans and work meet the set requirements," explains Mark Bloem, Ubbink's Project Manager Sales. "A file must then be created as part of the Quality Assurance for Building Act (Wkb)." But, as a contractor or installer, how do you go about doing that? Working in BIM can assist you in achieving this."

Structure and standards in BIM: an absolute necessity

BIM promises a future where all parties can collaborate by sharing project information from initial design through costing, build, delivery and ongoing operations. According to Trimble MEP’s Charles M.E. Lekx, real value can only be achieved when all parties across the construction sector operate in accordance with the same industry standards.

Growing BIM adoption and a need for uniformity within the construction industry worldwide have led to various public and private initiatives to develop standards that overlap in places. Harmonisation will be required as the opportunities for collaboration increase. Well-known standards in the UK and Ireland include ETIM and ETIM MC (European Technical Information Model), the Uniclass 2015 classifications, and the uniform GTIN code, also known as EAN / UPC issued by GS1 and, within the electrotechnical sector, the widely used Luckins data standard.

The new SpiroVent Superior S250

The solution that even sounds perfect.
Even a dog won't notice it's there!
And now you can quietly download it from MEPcontent.com

The word is out about our vacuum degassing technology being quieter than ever. The almost silent secret is kept by our patented Venturi Loop, a speed-controlled centrifugal pump combined with a Venturi. A sensor continuously monitors the vessel pressure as degassing takes place, and the pump is adjusted accordingly. This ensures smooth pressure steps and accurate vessel pressure control. In real terms, this means very low resonance and barely discernible system noise. Just imagine a sound level of only 41dB(A)! Let’s not forget that expelling all the air from a system means there will be no air left to cause noisethere either.

Getting the right product first time right
The SpiroVent Superior S250 has been designed for light commercial applications, in other words, for smaller volume systems. Adding this product expands the degassing family, so that we can accommodate the growing demand from new systems which operate at lower temperatures.

It even sounds perfect... and that's just for starters

The SpiroVent Superior S250 is an automatic vacuum degasser. It removes dissolved and free gases from the system water in closed heating and cooling systems using Henry's laws principle. The great advantage of the SpiroVent Superior S250 is that no matter where it is installed it will remove air.

The only condition for the location of the S250 next to pressure is its working temperature range of 15-70°C. As a rule of thumb, the system return normally is a good point to install the SpiroVent Superior S250.

In addition a smooth degassing operation, there is more:
  • Low defect rate and replacement costs

  • Low service and maintenance required

  • High degassing performance

    Updated, configurable content from IBMO, the sealing specialist for cable and pipe transits

    IBMO is specialized in fire resistant, gas and watertight sealing systems. The sealing systems are suitable for Industry, Building, Marine and Offshore.

    New are the Uniseal and Pressure seals, now also configurable in Revit.

    IBMO was asked by several customers whether seals could not be made configurable in Revit: this saves the engineer a considerable amount of time and work. This means that when the size of the pipe or the size of the hole in which it is placed changes, the seal is automatically adjusted to the correct type.

    MEPcontent's content engineers have managed to implement these changes, allowing you as an engineer to make your design much more efficiently and faster with the seals!

    The updated products also include instructional videos for configurable processing of the IBMO Uniseal and Pressure Seals.

    ELCO punta a rivoluzionare il mercato delle caldaie con un nuovo design innovativo

    ELCO Heating Solution ha implementato la sua gamma di caldaie commercial con il lancio di due nuove gamme a condensazione caratterizzate dalle migliori efficienze possibili, la gamma murale THISION® L PLUS e la gamma a basamento TRIGON® L PLUS. Queste rappresentano le caldaie ELCO di nuova generazione che coniugano elevate prestazioni ad una elevata flessibilità di installazione, il tutto unito alla facilità di manutenzione. Da ora disponibili come contenuti BIM localizzati per l’Italia e da scaricare gratuitamente su MEPcontent.com, in formato RFA, DWG e IFC.

    Le nuove caldaie sono state progettate per soddisfare le richieste dei moderni impianti di riscaldamento, presentando una vasta gamma di funzioni e vantaggi che permettono la loro installazione in molte applicazioni commerciali, sia nel caso di installazioni singole che in cascata. La diminuzione degli spazi comporta nuove sfide per gli installatori. L’alta potenza per unità di superficie garantisce una maggiore flessibilità rispetto ad altre soluzioni grazie alla possibilità di installare grandi potenze in piccoli spazi. Sia la gamma murale THISION® L PLUS che la gamma a basamento TRIGON® L PLUS sono disponibili con potenze che vanno dai 60 ai 200 kW per installazioni singole, e fino a 1,6 MW per installazioni in cascata, il tutto accompagnato da emissioni di NOx estremamente basse (< 24 mg / kWh).

    Sia la gamma THISION® L PLUS che TRIGON® L PLUS sono composte da 7 modelli. Ogni gamma è composta da due modelli singolo corpo compatto (Sec), un modelo singolo corpo (SE), due modelli doppio corpo compatto (DEc) e due modelli doppio corpo (DE). Ciò che caratterizza questa caldaia dagli altri modelli sul mercato è la ridondanza interna dei modelli DEc e DE. Questi infatti lavorano con una logica di master e slave, con ridondanza interna, grazie ai due corpi interni funzionanti indipendentemente uno dall’altro. Abbiamo quindi
    una effettiva cascata interna, con vantaggi in termini di manutenzione, dato che in caso di necessità di manutenzione o sostituzione di uno dei due corpi, il secondo può continuare a lavorare in modo efficace. Questo garantisce ridondanza di funzionamento, con un solo generatore.

    THISION® L PLUS: la più potente caldaia murale nel mercato
    THISION® L PLUS è la caldaia murale più potente nel mercato, in grado di raggiungere potenze fino a 200 kW in installazione singola (e fino a 1,6 MW in funzionamento in cascata). La caldaia è stata progettata per essere installata ad una altezza di 1,7 metri, ed offre il più piccolo e compatto kit di installazione in cascata. E’ possibile realizzare cascate in singoli kit omologati INAIL fino a 6 caldaie o 1000 kW, mentre combinando più kit cascata, è in grado di gestire con un’unica logica Master Slave fino ad 8 generatori, per un totale di 1,6 MW, sia in installazioni in linea che schienate.

    TRIGON® L PLUS: la caldaia a basamento flessibile
    TRIGON® L PLUS è la caldaia a basamento più compatta e leggera del mercato, grazie alla sua tecnologia a basso contenuto d’acqua. Le caldaie possono essere installate sia singolarmente che in cascata, in linea o B2B grazie ai kit appositi, garantendo massima flessibilità. È possibile realizzare cascate fino a 6 elementi o 1 MW con un unico sistema certificato INAIL, oppure gestire fino ad 8 generatori abbinando più sistemi certificati. Grazie alle sue dimensioni compatte, la cascata ha una altezza massima di 1,8 metri, collettore fumo compreso.

    Caratteristiche e vantaggi
    Entrambe le gamme beneficiano della tecnologia plug and play. Avendo infatti pompa, valvola di non ritorno acqua e fumi integrate all’interno di ogni singola caldaia, si hanno importanti vantaggi in termini di riduzione dei tempi e costi di installazione. Il cascade manager integrato, oltre a facilitare l’installazione del sistema, permette di gestire una vasta gamma di configurazioni. La connettività dei generatori tramite i moduli BUS consente di integrarli all’interno di un sistema di gestione edificio (BMS), garantendo una gestione da remoto ed il controllo predittivo della manutenzione. Questi moduli permettono la comunicazione con i protocolli Modbus, KNX, LON e BACNET.

    ELCO
    ELCO è un marchio affermato in tutta Europa da oltre 90 anni. Per decenni, ELCO è stata all’avanguardia nel settore dei bruciatori, della caldaia a condensazione e della tecnologia del solare, installando oltre 2,2 milioni di sistemi di riscaldamento in tutta Europa.
