Branching-Out into Efficiency

14 March 2014 | Updated 01 January 1970
 
Ideal Commercial Boilers has supplied five Evomax 80kW, high efficiency condensing wall hung boilers to New Forest District Council, which have been installed at Totton Health and Leisure Centre, Southampton.

Rob Sowden, Commercial Gas Engineer for New Forest District Council, specified the five Evomax 80kW boilers, because he believed they provided an answer to a challenging array of installation requirements, as well as contributing to a 15% reduction in running costs.

“We needed to relocate the boilers in order to facilitate a new water tank for the booster set. This immediately brought up the issue of space constrictions, as there would be significantly less available plant room space, as well as the question of flueing arrangements.”

The five Evomax wall hung boilers were supplied complete with a dedicated frame and header kit to make installation easier. The installation was planned for the summer, so that the demand for space heating would be low, and at a time when the leisure centre would be quiet.

The condensing boilers offer efficiencies of around 98%, resulting in a reduction in running costs that the Council predicts will total around £6,000 a year, thereby dramatically decreasing the payback period for these boilers as well as delivering future energy savings.
