Commercial Products has introduced a new CIBSE-accredited CPD to its collection of Heat Networks and Heat Interface Units.

The new CPD provides an overview of the benefits of heat networks and the role that Heat Interface Units (HIUs) play in ensuring the thermal comfort of the end user and the efficient operation of the network.

Principles of HIU operation

Predominantly a beginner’s guide to heat networks, aimed at those who have basic knowledge but little first-hand exposure, the new CPD describes the concept of heat networks and their key benefits. It goes on to focus on HIUs, explaining their role as the appliance that transfers the thermal energy from the network to provide heating and hot water for the end user. The basic principles of HIU operation, along with common components and some typical mechanical and electronic functions for HIUs are addressed.

There are aspects that installers should consider when choosing an HIU, as well as things to avoid

To ensure the network and the HIUs are operating in harmony, at their optimum, there are aspects that installers should consider when choosing an HIU, as well as things to avoid. The new Heat Networks and Heat Interface Units CPD provide invaluable advice on these, gained from Ideal Heating’s extensive experience in heat networks with its own POD HIU range.

Ideal Heating’s commercial products

The hour-long Heat Networks and Heat Interface Units CPD can be delivered online or in person, either at a customer’s premises or at one of Ideal Heating’s Centers of Excellence in Hull and Leeds. These premises have recently been completely refurbished to convert them into state-of-the-art training facilities, with Ideal Heating’s commercial products installed so attendees can get interactive, hands-on training. The CPD can also be tailored to suit specific businesses and their requirements.

The CIBSE-accredited Heat Networks and Heat Interface Units CPD are detailed in Ideal Heating’s new Commercial Products Training Courses brochure, which also includes other CPDs and training courses offered by the company.
