With building heating and cooling performance crucial for achieving Net Zero, Wilo has unveiled its latest innovation, Sinum.
The automatic de-aeration system optimizes building services by eliminating trapped air and ensuring proper pressurization.
The Sinum has been designed for suitable operation across a host of applications, including buildings – such as schools and hospitals – as well as the nation’s exponentially increasing number of data centres.
Improves heating and cooling
The Wilo Sinum also automatically tops up systems to maintain pressure
The unit, which consists of a pump unit and pressureless expansion vessel, improves heating and cooling of buildings by delivering constant pressurisation.
It does this through automatically eliminating trapped air (often known as ‘degassing’ amongst the industry) and solid particles within sealed heating systems and chilled water cooling systems. The Wilo Sinum also automatically tops up systems to maintain pressure.
It offers continuous degassing under three selectable operation modes and can be integrated into building management systems. It also improves the efficiency of the system over traditional degassing systems, as well as sitting on a much smaller footprint. This helps to reduce building costs and free up valuable space for other purposes.
Making heating and cooling energy efficient
Jason Cox, sales director at Wilo, said: “Heating and cooling processes are widely known to account for a substantial portion of global energy consumption and emissions.”
“It’s estimated that half of the world's final energy consumption goes towards heating and cooling, and this sector is accountable for over 40% of global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. Given this, it’s imperative that new buildings and their heating and cooling systems are as efficient as possible.”
“This is where the Wilo Sinum comes in. By removing trapped air and dirt from water, it means pumps that move this water around the system do not have to work as hard. Ultimately, energy consumption is lowered as a result.”
Easy installation and Efficient operation
The Wilo Sinum features a host of technology to allow for easy installation and good ongoing operation
The Wilo Sinum features a host of technology to allow for easy installation and good ongoing operation. This includes an intuitive digital display that shows error messages and a self-learning microprocessor, with a modular design for installation flexibility.
The pressureless expansion vessels supplied with the Sinum come in a variety of sizes, including 100 - 1,000 litres in accordance with EN 13831, and 1,200 - 10,000 litres in accordance with AD2000.
Meanwhile, the Sinum’s pump unit comes as a ‘mono’ or ‘double’ unit, depending on the needs and size of the system chosen.
Other features of Wilo Sinum
“The Wilo Sinum is the perfect solution when standard equipment with a diaphragm expansion tank reaches its limit,” said Jason.
“It features a range of advanced technology, including volumetric controls and auto-topping up and replenishing of water systems, offering a long service life and easy maintenance,” concluded Jason Cox.
