ANGULAR AND ARTISTIC:
THE NEW TRATTO FROM MHS RADIATORS
MHS Radiators has added the
modern and elegant Tratto to
its collection of radiators and
towel rails. This graceful and
flowing heat emitter makes
an immediate and striking
impression, thanks to its vibrant
and fluid three-dimensional
design. Utilising seductive
curves and stunning optional
LED side strips, the Tratto
creates a warming halo effect,
becoming the centrepiece of a
modern bathroom.
Made from steel, not only is
Tratto an artistic focal point
for a room, its unique angular
structure also provides a
functional shelf for towels. The
radiator offers outputs up to 887
Watts, can operate up to 4-bar
and is finished in a variety of
classic and special colours.
The radiator also has a
transparent towel holder,
which can be installed at three
different heights, while its valve
connections are cleverly hidden
from view.
There are two sizes available
in the Tratto range, measuring
1,200mm x 450mm and 1,600mm
x 450mm respectively. Each
model is available with or
without the LED side strips, as
well as an electric option. All
Tratto radiators are supplied with
a five-year guarantee as standard.

Innovative new heat pump matches new-build hot water requirements
Mitsubishi Electric has launched a new 4kW
Ecodan air source heat pump designed
specifically to tackle the needs of new-build
homes, with a system that matches the hot
water requirements, whilst still meeting
the lower heating demand of today’s well
insulated properties.

New homes built today differ from previous
ones because the requirement for hot water
is likely to exceed the demand for heating for
the first time. A reduction in fabric U-values
and thermal bridging has reduced the energy
requirements for heating and also allows for
smaller plant.

“What is needed is a new way of delivering
energy efficient heating and hot water”,
explains Jordan Jeewood, Ecodan technical
expert for the company. “We have engineered
the Ecodan QUHZ monobloc system to meet
this need by providing exceptionally high
efficiency in the production of hot water,
along with renewable space heating for the
home”.
The Ecodan QUHZ unit is MCS-Approved and
straightforward to install, delivering water at
70ºC to a packaged 200 litre thermal store.
From this thermal store, mains water is heated
directly up to 65ºC via Mitsubishi Electric’s
unique plate heat exchanger, meaning the
homeowner receives hot water on demand.
“This model uses CO2 as a refrigerant to
ensure a large delta T between the flow and
return temperatures to and from the outdoor
unit”, adds Jeewood. “This delivers the high
levels of efficiency that enable the system
to meet the high hot water, low heating
requirements of today’s new-build properties”.
The fundamental design, application and
control of the Ecodan QUHZ is exactly the
same as the rest of the range with advanced
control logic within the thermal store allowing
the system to deliver the high efficiency levels
that the market has come to expect from the
Ecodan brand.
