Mikrofill Launches Energy-Efficient, Direct-Type Pressurization Unit

Mikrofill Systems Ltd. recently brought its thoroughly time- and application-tested Mikrofill 3 hydronic system pressurization unit to the North American HVAC market. Originally unveiled in the mid-1990s in the United Kingdom, the product made its debut on this side of the Atlantic at the recent AHR Expo in Las Vegas (Jan. 31-Feb. 2).

As a result, U.S. and Canadian mechanical engineers and contractors are now able to experience first-hand what their U.K. counterparts have known for the past quarter-century: that the unique Mikrofill 3 is the most advanced, “direct-type” pressurization unit available for sealed, low-pressure hot-water (LPHW) and chilled-water (CHW) commercial and multifamily residential applications. Able to fill any heating or chilled water system from empty without the use of a pump, the product also delivers commercial backflow protection with no RPZ valves, while also providing comprehensive electronic pressure management.

The Mikrofill 3 has been tested and approved in accordance with ASSE LEC 2009-2021.

“The ready-to-install Mikrofill 3 is essentially plug-and-play,” says Mikrofill Managing Director Dominic West. “The product’s highly innovative approach to monitoring and maintaining hydronic systems has served the commercial mechanical market in the U.K. exceptionally well for more than 25 years. We see no reason why it cannot do the same in North America.”
