CANARY WHARF, England,
June 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- NFC are pleased to announce the launch of the new L360, an
Orion based legionella monitoring and control system designed to
work as part of a building's management plan for complete turnkey
automated legionella compliance.
The unit addresses an immediate need - In public buildings there
must be, by law, a process by which taps are tested weekly for the
legionella bacteria. Traditionally this data is recorded by hand
and exceptions have to be reported manually, records must be filed
and kept onsite for a minimum of 5 years. The L360 automates the
entire process by flushing both taps and testing the water
temperatures recording and alerting back to the Genius platform
webportal front end. Once the system is in place this saves a huge
amount of time, reduces costs and frees up internal
resources.
Initially trials have shown that there is an ever bigger cost
saving for clients. Many clients run their hot water systems at
higher than necessary temperatures to either try and pasteurise the
water or because the feedback mechanism between the temperature
achieved at the tap and that of the water leaving the boiler does
not correlate well. This means that these clients are using much
more power than is needed, all of which is being wasted.
Furthermore in some cases because the water is so hot,
thermostatically controlled valves have to be fitted at the basins
to prevent scalding. By using the L360, the boiler settings can be
tuned so that the temperatures at the taps is correct with the
minimum possible boiler setting.
The L360 units are dynamically controlled by the Genius web
platform. The Genius platform allows the schedules to be changed
remotely, immediately flags any non-compliant test results and
automatically records and stores all the data for five
years.
The L360 units are low cost and easy to install with pre-fitted
standard plumbing connectors for hot, cold, and waste (with a built
in non-return valve) as well as being battery powered. The
batteries can last for up to three years, which means manually
testing on a weekly basis is a thing of the past.
The Genius IoT smart buildings platform can also monitor
freezers, fridges, lights, HVAC (including Co2, humidity, particles
and temperature) fire, heat, smoke, intruder systems, cctv, desk
occupancy, fuel tank levels, parking spaces, EV chargers, metering
(and sub metering for gas, electric and water) and can generate
reports on demand.
The solution has successfully launched with a number of property
management companies and is also available to government and local
authority clients through the GCloud process.
NFC Group have been market leaders in the asset tracking market
for twenty years. The privately owned Orion Data Network is
being deployed around the world with many parts of the UK already
benefiting from wide area coverage.
NFC are proud to be the sponsors of Bath Rugby Club for a third
year in a row.
