The wait is over and we are pleased to reveal our brand new product, the Merlin 3000S. The Merlin 3000S is an energy saving system designed specifically for commercial kitchens. The system acts as an interlock between ventilation and the gas solenoid valve, while also varying the speed of the ventilation via 0-10VDC outputs.
Advantages of the Merlin 3000S include:
- Full compliance with: BS6173:2009 / IGEM/UP19 / DW172 / CIBSE TM50
- Control ventilation automatically based on real-time gas consumption and CO2 levels in the kitchen
- Interlock with ventilation using either Fan Current Sensors or Air PD Switches
- Optional Gas Proving function
- Control ventilation automatically based on real-time gas consumption and CO2 levels in the kitchen
- Optical and duct heat sensors to maintain optimum ventilation rate as per DW172
- Ventilation rates reduced when gas usage and CO2 is low to reduce energy consumption
- Minimised heat loss via extraction by reducing the fan speeds when gas usage and CO2 are minimal
- Pulsed output gas meter can be linked with other building systems to monitor the kitchen
- Reduces ventilation noise levels at times of low kitchen activity
- Clear full colour TFT display for the user info and easy calibration
- Takes responsibility for sufficient ventilation control away from kitchen staff
- Maintains the air balance between supply and extract ventilation creating a negative pressure in the kitchen to control cooking odours
- Will accept Methane, LPG and CO detectors
- Can be linked to remote knock-off buttons, fire alarm and BMS
- Covered by the S&S Northern 3 year warranty

The new gas interlock system ensures that staff working in Rosso’s kitchen are not exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide from gas cookers without a functioning ventilation system. The Merlin CT1250 was manufactured and supplied by Chorley-based S&S Northern and installed by Combi-Vent of Denton.

Chris has been playing golf since the age of 9 and has represented his local golf club, Tredegar Park in Newport, at levels from junior through to county. He was also a member of the junior development squad for Wales. After finishing his degree at Cardiff Metropolitan University and doing an MSc at Swansea University, Chris turned professional earlier in 2012 and is now competing in numerous tours across the UK. This year he has competed in the Euro Pro Tour, the Jamega Tour and the European Qschool stage 1. Rounding off his season Chris narrowly missed out on progressing to Qschool Stage 2 of the European Tour by 3 shots after a closing round of 70, which was 2 under par.
