The building services team at Kirklees Council have created a brand new training facility so it can provide an in-house training programme for new and existing engineers. The training facility includes a classroom work area, a domestic cooker, domestic boilers, gas fires, a commercial catering canopy, a commercial gas interlock system, gas meters, CO and CO2 detectors, and a range of manufacturers data.
S&S Northern have supplied a range of gas safety systems so that Kirklees Building Services engineers can familiarise themselves with installing and fault finding on gas Interlocks, gas proving s and gas detection systems.
One of the product the company is showcasing is S&S Northern’s new Merlin CT3000E which monitors the electrical consumption being used from equipment under the canopy alongside CO2 levels within the commercial kitchen. When the Merlin 3000E receives a signal via the electricity or CO2, it adjusts the fan speed accordingly. This results in a huge cost saving for commercial kitchens as fans do not then need to be run at full speed all the time whilst still maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for the kitchen staff.
ATL, based in Hull, specialises in commercial catering and building services. The company helps professional kitchen staff to choose the right equipment for their kitchen. Their services include planning, design, installation and completion.
Ashley Stephenson Director of ATL says, “We have developed the demonstration kitchen in order to showcase our manufacturer’s equipment and the possibilities within ventilation controls and energy efficiency. Many people do not realise that the commercial kitchen environment can be one of the major contributors to wasted energy within a commercial building. This is really clearly explained within the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), document TM150 2009”.
Lee Dempsey, Sales Manager at S&S Northern says, “We were delighted to partner up with ATL and showcase our newest energy saving product to ATL’s customers.
We are sure customers will be impressed with what it offers as we know that the payback period for the Merlin CT3000E is just two years.”
The Merlin CT3000E is a Ventilation Interlock and Electric isolation panel with build-in analogue output signal to regulate the speed of the fans accordingly to the electrical power consumption. The system comprises a control panel and AC current sensor(s). The Merlin CT3000E can receive connections from remote emergency shut-off buttons and gas detector. It also can be integrated with a BMS and fire alarm.

Leaf’s Managing Director, Natalie Haywood, says, “We realized we had been broken into during the night when we came to open up in the morning.

Local lad Lee Dempsey is an ex-pupil of Phillips High School in Whitefield and still lives and works in the area for his family run company, S&S Northern. In 1995, a gas detection system was installed in the school laboratory by S&S Northern, but they were in need of replacement this year due to changes in technology and the fact that teachers now want more control over gas availability, so Lee was sent along to assist with the new installation.
Lee, Sales Engineer at S&S Northern, was 15 years old when the first gas detection system was installed at the school and didnt think he would be returning to supply a new one nearly 15 years later, Schools are in need to update their gas systems, especially in kitchens where new standards such as BS6173 is concerned, which ensure they are safe to work in. Its really strange coming back to my old school to fit out the science laboratories, but great to see they are adhering to the most stringent safety standards so they can continue teaching safely.
