PRODUCTS & SERVICES Products of the month CIAT launches new VectiosPower rooftop air conditioning range Solution lowers environmental impact without increasing operating costs, says company C IAT has introduced a new range of VectiosPower rooftop air conditioning units operating on R-454B refrigerant. With a global warming potential (GWP) of 466, the R-454Bs overall carbon footprint is more than 80% lower than HFC R-410A, the refrigerant it replaces. We believe VectiosPower operating on R-454B offers the best all-round solution for the environment, installers and building occupants, says Natividad Molero, product manager at CIAT. It offers all the spacesaving and low-noise benefits of the previous generation, while using the best refrigerant for rooftop applications, reducing environmental impact without increasing operating costs. It supports the highest levels of comfort and wellbeing and aligns with #CIAT4life for the creation of healthier indoor environments. The updated VectiosPower range exceeds R-45B Ecodesign 2021 seasonal energy efficiency ratio requirements for cooling by up to 42% and seasonal coefficient of performance for heating by 10%. Aligned with CIATs goal of providing customers with high-quality, verifiable information on environmental performance, VectiosPower and Vectios were the first rooftop air conditioning products registered under the internationally recognised Ecopassport programme, which is based on the ISO 14025 Environmental Product Declaration standard. Solutions such as CIATs VectiosPower support Carriers 2030 environmental, social and governance goals of reducing customers carbon footprint by more than one gigaton. VectiosPower operating on R-454B is available in 12 sizes, with airflow rates from 10,800m3/h to 54,000m3/h. The Euroventcertified range is ideal for large applications such as supermarkets, cinemas, offices, industrial buildings and food-storage facilities. The units are easy to lift and position on rooftops because of design optimisation and use of lightweight aluminium panels, and, once in place, simply require electrical connection. For end users and occupants, VectiosPower units deliver low noise, with quiet-running scroll compressors and fans that adjust their speed to match building load.

This offers a free appraisal of a sites current hot-water delivery system, along with recommendations for reducing the carbon load. The process of using the service is straightforward: the user fills out a form and submits it via the Rinnai website, after which Rinnais technical team will make a thorough analysis and return it to the user. Using only a small amount of data provided by the user (current model and system, quantity, type of outlet and daily peak demands), Rinnai is able to make detailed predictions of carbon emissions and potential savings. Rinnai is an international manufacturer of temperature-controlled continuous flow hot water heaters with an output of more than two million units per year. Rinnai hot-water products offer a limitless, instant supply of temperaturecontrolled hot water that at 65C can act as a thermal disinfectant on all known bacteria. All units are UKCA certified with A-rated water efficiency and can be accessed through multiple fuel options.
