Industrial valves for boilers reduce emissions
EMERSON HAS LAUNCHED its new ASCO Series 262 and 263 Biodiesel Valves, the first combustion valves certified for use with bio- diesel blended fuel in industrial and commer- cial boilers in the Americas and Asia.
These biodiesel valves make it possible for district heating and commercial boiler burner applications to transition to a more sustainable energy source, simplifying compliance with evolving regulations while reducing boiler users’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon footprints.
Biodiesel heating fuel is biodegradable and cleaner burning, producing fewer GHG emis- sions than petroleum alone. Multiple studies have found that biodiesel fuel can reduce GHGs from 50 to 86 per cent compared to conventional
diesel fuel. Using non-certified biodiesel auto- mation products in biodiesel applications may lead to a severe reduction in the performance and safety of the valves.
The robust construction of Series 262 and 263 solenoid shut-off valves provide long service life and low internal leakage, minimising mainte- nance and improving reliability, while the welded core tube offers high pressure ratings for efficient fuel use.
Mountable in any position with a range of elas- tomer options, these compact poppet valves allow tight shut-off that can improve efficiency while reducing emissions and cost. A full selection of explosion-proof enclosures are also available.

Sustainable, low GWP chiller range
AIREDALE HAS ANNOUNCED two new ranges of heat pumps and low GWP chillers.
The two ranges are called SpiraChill and Chill.
The first launch incorporates heat pump and cooling-only options, using scroll and inverter screw technology, and delivers anywhere from 200kW to over 1400kW of cooling and/or heating, with partial and/or full heat recovery available.
SpiraChill is Airedale by Modine’s scroll
compressor chiller and heat pump solution and is part of Airedale’s more sustainable range of cooling solutions.
With a cooling and heating capacity extend- ing to just over 1200kW, SpiraChill offers partial and full heat recovery on all models. SpiraChill uses the latest in scroll compressor technology, optimised for lower GWP refrigerant R32, to offer excellent efficiency and versatility across a wide range of applications.
Suitable for both comfort and process appli- cations, SpiraChill operates with an in-built sequencer that permits up to 6 units to be added to the master unit, delivering flexibility and scalability.
With scroll compressors that operate up to 8 stages, SpiraChill offers excellent part load efficiencies and highly accurate set point con- trol. Optimised for R32, SpiraChill delivers SEER of up to 4.9 (cooling only) and 4.8 (heat pump), making SpiraChill a sensible, sustain- able option.
iChill is Airedale’s first inverter-driven screw chiller, for efficient and precise load matching. Optimised for low GWP refrigerant R1234ze (GWP 7) and lower GWP refrigerant R513a (GWP 613), iChill delivers efficiency, versatility and performance.
With capacities from 200-1400kW and with high full load and seasonal efficiency, iChill is suitable for comfort and process applica- tions and is available as a cooling only chiller, or multi-function heat pump offering simultaneous heating and cooling operation. iChill operates with an in-built sequencer that permits up to 6 units to be added to the master unit, delivering flexibility and scalability.
A sustainable solution, iChill delivers SEER of up to 5.42 on our R1234ze range, and an EER of up to 3.16, with an SEER of up to 5.39 on our R513a range, and an EER of up to 3.32.
