Warmco were asked to design and install a heating system which would keep the employees in this brand new, portal framed, stone products, factory space warm.
The TR80 heater used has a maximum heat output of 76kw, which can be used to get the space to temperature, but once the thermostatic control panel registersthat it is up to the desired temperature it has the capacity to switch off, or modulate down to 47 kw on low fire, to ‘top up’ the heat. This modulation feature typically offers a fuel cost saving of up to 30% against standard non-modulating models of heater. We also installed three heat recovery fans (WCU60 / 80 de-stratification fans) to redistribute the heat that would gather at higher levels of this high building. Again, the addition of this type of equipment, can offer an additional fuel cost saving of around 30% to the end user. To complete the installation, we also needed to lay 30ft an underground MDPE gas pipework, from the meter to the building. The whole installation was undertaken over a three day period, working to create minimal disruption to our customer’s production.
