Staffordshire sustainable heating equipment supplier IntaEco has
launched an iPhone app to help specifiers and engineers calculate
the correct size of expansion vessel for their solar
installations.
The app, which is available download for free from the iTunes
store replaces a cardboard 'slide rule' version that had been in
circulation for several years. Regional TV news programme BBC
Midlands Today chose to highlight IntaEco's app as part of a
feature on how technology and smart phones are becoming part of
everyday life.
Stuart Gizzi, MD of IntaEco, said: "There's no denying that
calculating solar expansion vessels can be tricky, even with our
cardboard calculator. This app will make things much easier. And as
the news presenter explained so succinctly - if your expansion
vessel is too big, you're wasting money; if it's too small, it
could go bang."
IntaEco's range of solar expansion vessels is made by Zilmet and
is designed for system temperatures reaching 110°C, and peaks
of 130°C. Sizes from x litres to x litres are
available.
