The 2017 edition of ISH in Frankfurt has just closed his doors. The central theme of the event - Water. Energy. Life. - clearly focuses on the key points of the most important international exhibition of the sector. With its wide range of cutting-edge and future-oriented building technologies, Giacomini Group offered a preview of its new products and the strategies the firm intends to carry on in the next years.
Energy from renewable sources.
Future-oriented visitors, well aware that sustainability is key for the challenge of the next years, had the opportunity to learn Giacomini’s solutions which enhance renewable source efficiency.
H2ydrogem® is the result of Giacomini R&D activity aimed at creating a “zero emission” cycle for the production of thermal energy. For its operation, H2ydrogem® uses a catalytic reaction and therefore is without flame. It is composed of one or more channels, independent, supplied with gaseous hydrogen and atmospheric air. In each channel a catalyzer allows hydrogen and oxygen to combine in a molecule of water, simultaneously releasing heat. Heat produced by the reaction is removed by a heat exchanger embedded in the burner; water temperature is between 35 e 40°C, ideal to feed heating systems such as radiant floor wall or ceiling panels. The absence of carbon in reagents determines a reaction without co2 emissions; low combustion temperature (300-350°C) avoids the formation of NOx. The only other product of the reaction is simple steam that can be released in the atmosphere without risks.
Radiator System products.
A full set of new solutions for radiator systems has been developed in order to improve comfort, efficiency/energy saving and time costing during installation and commisioning. Visitors interested in Klimadomotic could test Giacomini intelligent temperature control system optimized for radio-controlled thermostatic radiator valves. Kimadomotic TRV will allow you to have an easy and fast access to all the information you need in order to manage your heating system and comfort level into your apartment. The tool can also be controlled remotely through the use of Giacomini app.
A modern and flexible regulation and maintenance interface has been created also for radiant systems. The Klimadomotic for radiant system is now ready for deliver a perfect environmental temperature and humidity control.
High efficiency thermostatic head R469
Performances of the already precise Giacomini’s thermostatic heads and valves has been enlarged to the next level. A new family of thermostatic head R469 have been created with increased performances according with EN215 standard. New R469 high efficiency thermostatic head. It has an improved level of precision in regulation push to the limit of thermostatic heads. It can allow the best energy saving during the heating season.
Dynamic balancing radiator valve DB
New dynamic balancing radiator valve represents an absolutely new product that doesn’t have any rival at the moment. It is the best option for cut running cost due to pump’s overrun and unbalance of the system. A radiator valve and a balancing valve together?
Thanks to a complicated internal mechanism, the DB valve can «feel» the change in pressure in the system and self-balance itself ensuring always the «perfect» amount of hot water to the radiator.
Boiler room components
A lot of new products for boiler room has been developed in order to improve comfort, efficiency/energy saving and time costing during installation and commissioning. As for example Sector mixing valve with by-pass function, Giacomini Magnetic dirt separator, Y-strainers and the innovative magnetic R74M. Speaking of Giacomini new products, it is good to mention R153M, a pressure reducing valve with presetting scale. Soon available.
R586R groups
The new mixing group R586R are pre-assembled groups for the heating and cooling management (R586RY004 for heating only). They are equipped with self-modulating circulator, shut-off valves, flow and return thermometers, housing for probes and adjustable by pass to protect the circulator. The versions R586RY002-003 are provided with mixing function of the fixed temperature control, and also can be controlled by changeable temperature control. The versions R586RY002-003 are available working with Climate compensation system.
Circuit balancing & zone control
This year Giacomini has shown, in its 400 square meters booth, many cutting-edge products. Among these, Giacomini R274 six-way zone valves.
This 6 way valve is able to supply a single user from two different sources of thermal energy, or to easily manage 4-pipe systems (typically used in heating and cooling applications).
A single valve, motorized with actuator K274-2, can thus substitute two motorized valves, easily resolving any complications with synchronization for the opening/ closings of the two sources.
Component for distribution circuits
A wide assortment of ball valves for potable water application has been developed according with the major standards and certifications around the World: UBA list, DVGW, WRAS, NSF61.
These new models show also a remarkable increase in the technical characteristics such as: resistance to dezincification (DZR), low lead content (lead free), DADO ball.
Two mini ball valves families have been created to provide the space savings necessary for small line fluid control applications.
Ball valves series “LBP”
ISH was a great opportunity to introduce Giacomini new ball valves series “LBP”. LBP means Leak Before Pressing, a great solution to identify badly pressed fittings immediately during the test and, for this reason, save a considerable amount of time during the installation and most important running cost due to extra-maintenance.
This important innovation has been extended to our press ball valves for copper, stainless steel, carbon steel applications.
Thermoregulation: Preassembled manifold in stainless steel
As known, The modern buildings represent a demanding challenge for the design and execution professionals; the complex requirements that arise can be satisfi ed only really innovative solutions. In order to march more requests, Giacomini announced its new stainless-steel manifold targeted for residential and commercial radiant heating and cooling applications.
Air treatment
Treatment dehumidifier kdp-kds with ecological refrigerant
A new green series of air dehumidifiers and air treatment machines have been upgraded substituting the R-134a refrigerant with the ecological refrigerant propane R290.
New refrigerant R290 (propane) will rise the efficiency up to +30% and will decrease the GWP (Global Warming Potential) as well.
