As part of Smith’s ongoing investment in product development, the already popular range of Caspian fan convectors have been optimised through several engineering measures. Every detail of the Caspian fan convector was analysed in the search for improvements. The result of this work is an increase in heat output performance of 20% over the previous versions. To achieve this increase in performance Smith’s redesigned the coils, enclosing metalwork, and implemented a new fan configuration.
Consequently, the size of the Caspian fan convector required to heat a specific room can be smaller. For example, where a Caspian 120 was previously required, a Caspian 90 may be suitable. This broadens the applications for Caspian, both in residential and commercial use. Consultants and contractors alike now have more options for new build and retrofit applications; especially as smaller sizes can replace larger Caspian fan convectors without a reduction in heat output.
A key objective of the improvement project was to optimise Caspian for use with Heat Pumps.
This upgrade in Caspian is a key part of Smith’s strategy to develop and launch products that improve their performance and reduce the use of energy and consequently the creation of harmful emissions. Electing to launch the upgraded Caspian with EC fans only contributes to the move to Net Zero, which will be an ever-greater feature of building regulations. Furthermore, improved performance and reduced embodied carbon reduces the impact buildings have over their lifetime. Additionally, if the upgraded Caspian is specified with our Smart Control system, further efficiencies and therefore energy savings can be achieved.
