Energy metering

To ensure greater efficiency for the building/system and the reduction of polluting emissions, the central heating system is the best solution for new apartment buildings. However, all users want to be able to independently manage timing for system switch on/off and to set comfortable temperatures, as well as paying only for actual consumption.

To meet these needs, we offer an extensive range of satellites and modules for directly metering thermal energy. Together with individual thermoregulation, they allow to combine the advantages of a centralised system with those of an autonomous one.

Higher intelligence thermoregulation devices, connected to the network via wiring - the bus - to exchange information between each other with appropriately coded messages. The modular bus system manages both simple mixing groups in heating and cooling, and complex residential and commercial systems, with air treatment systems for dehumidification, cold integration, renewal and controlled mechanical ventilation.The system flexibility makes it possible to define different access profiles and to take advantage of the most recent technologies in terms of home automation. Applications are easy to configure through menus with guided choices to facilitate installation and initial start-up.

Compact and quiet single-piece unit for controlling humidity, ideal for pairing with radiant cooling panels in residential environments. In these refrigeration units, complete with hydronic batteries powered by chilled water from the panels, the air undergoes a special thermodynamic treatment, ensuring it is significantly dehumidified to avoid the risk condensation. Also available with integration of sensible power and primary air treatment.

Air treatment for radiant systems

In combination with our radiant systems, we provide a range of devices especially built to control humidity in the summer, for forced ambient air exchange and heat recovery.

To distribute drinking water, our most precious resource, we provide hygienic and high quality system which meet the highest standards both nationally and internationally. In our range, we offer:

• Flexible pipes for plumbing and drainage, made of multilayer metal-plastic (PEX-b/Al/PEX-b), bare and insulated, or in plastic (PEX-b). Designed to resist corrosion and products in compliance with the strictest standards, to support the effects long-term of high temperatures and the pressure of a drinking water system.

• Pipes and fittings made in PPR to weld, available also in large diameters. The technical features of the material make it optimal for creating systems to be used for transporting drinking water, even if very chalky, for plumbing and drainage uses.

• Brass fittings. Our range of fittings (multitongs pressure profile, mechanical compression,

with crimping ring in the Giacoqest system, with shape memory expansion bush in the GX system) guarantees reliable connections with long durability over time, and which respect the most rigorous hygiene standards. Easy installation.

• Various types of distribution manifolds (modular or rod manifolds) to create, using flexible and rapid installations, a compact and safe system that is easy to maintain.

• Essential for ensuring flexibility across all system types, our brass ball valves are made in compliance with the various regulations in force relating to drinking water distribution.

H2ydrogem, the hydrogen catalytic combustor

The “hydrogen” project and “zero impact” air conditioning

We began our Research & Development in the field of hydrogen with the highest goal in terms of sustainability: to produce a “zero emissions” cycle for producing thermal energy.

Why hydrogenHydrogen really can be the energy vector of the future. Even though this element isn't freely present in nature, its supply is practically endless: remember that where there is water, there is hydrogen. Together with oxygen, in fact, hydrogen forms the water molecule (H2O) - the most common compound on the earth.Unlike fossil fuels, hydrogen is a carbon-free energy vector. This is a great advantage in the energy production process: combustion doesn't produce any emissions of CO2, which is the gas emitted during the combustion of all fossil sources and is the main cause of the greenhouse effect.

REN

EWA

Hydrogen production and storageUsing electricity produced from renewable sources (solar radiation - photovoltaic panels; wind - wind power plant; water - hydroelectric power station), the electrolysis of the water produces “zero impact” hydrogen: the waste from this “processing” (already carbon-free) is pure oxygen.The hydrogen produced via electrolysis can be stored in different forms and subsequently used to produce electricity by means of fuel cells. The thermal energy is produced by a fuel cell during the electric operation phase only. For the purposes of heating water only, we have conceived H2ydroGEM.

H2ydroGEM, the catalytic combustorThe combustor is a condensation boiler based on an innovative catalytic hydrogen burner. The burner (where the reaction takes place) is powered simply with gaseous hydrogen (the fuel) and atmospheric air (with the combustive oxygen). Inside the reaction channel there is a suitable catalyser agent that allows the hydrogen and oxygen to combine spontaneously in a water molecule, at the same time freeing a quantity of heat. Heat is removed by a series of exchangers (powered with system water) built into the combustor. The temperature of the water heated, this way is ideal for thermal-sanitary systems, especially low temperatures radiant ones: in fact, these conditions guarantee maximum combustor yield and top comfort for users.
