Pegler has expanded its training facilities in Doncaster to offer an even
greater interactive experience.
The specialised valve centre offers more hands-on training for
individuals and companies to facilitate greater understanding and more
experience in balancing and commissioning valves.
Glenn Schofield, Technical Training Support Manager at Pegler, commented: “We have specifically designed this training
facility to simulate real life situations.
The whole room can be used at once or just certain sections to show what
could happen in any commercial or domestic setting.”
The aptly named ‘valves wall’ houses a Grundfoss Magna 3 pump
which delivers a head pressure up to 15 metres and provides all or just some of
the systems with their requirements depending on learning needs. The training provided by Glenn covers
differential pressures and how to deal with them, what effects control valves have
on velocity noise and flow rates and how to lock valves and change flow.
Glenn continued: “This is a really immersive room that
engages most senses. Visitors can see
just what happens to flow rates and pressures thanks to the visual display
units which monitor each valve, they can get hands on and change pressures
according to requirements and see how a ¼ inch turn can effect pressures, they
can also hear velocity noise and alter valves accordingly.
“Commissioning and balancing systems is about knowing the
system, understanding its requirements and adjusting to suit. This allows visitors to ‘play’ around getting
a feel for flow and pressure rates and working with a system in a controlled
environment.”
The training facility is open to all those interested in
commissioning and balancing systems.
Visitors so far have included architects, specifiers, clerk of works,
installers, commissioners and college students.
A unique full flow ball valve from Pegler is now available in stainless steel making it suitable for potable water applications.
Pegler has expanded its training facilities in Doncaster to offer an even greater interactive experience.
A unique full flow ball valve has been launched by Pegler as part of its Integrated Piping Systems which is revolutionising installations across the globe.
For any building service contractor, the key to a successful project is the efficiency of the installation – in short, time spent on planning and onsite. Leading Integrated piping solutions manufacturer, Pegler Yorkshire, has developed a unique service that delivers bespoke valve arrangements (modular valves solutions) for fan coils in a significantly reduced lead time from the merchant’s order.
To ensure heating and ventilation systems work to their optimum efficiency valves are a key element. Pegler Yorkshire with its foundations held in the development and manufacturing of valves, is increasing its Static Valve offering which incorporates ultra low and medium flow static products to compliment all flow variables.
Pegler Yorkshire continues its drive to further enhance its valve portfolio and support its customers’ objectives of system optimisation. The new V850 ductile iron gate valve has been introduced to the company’s commercial valve offering and adds a solution for potable water applications.
When the public sector needs quality products, it turns to global taps, valves and fittings specialist Pegler Yorkshire and the introduction of a new range of Ballofix products will be welcomed by those who depend on the latest valves to ensure a secure and reliable service where it matters most.
Pegler Yorkshire is constantly striving to develop new system solutions, capable of meeting the changing needs of installers, contractors and specifiers. The Proflow valves range provides one of the most comprehensive selections of products on the market.
