Boiler Replacement and Plant Room Refurbishment in the Finance Sector
Antac was instructed to replace
the twenty fi ve year old gas
boilers for a leading fi nancial
services customer. The existing
installation consisted of four
separate boilers feeding into
a common hot water system,
where meeting the heating
demand was achieved through
controlling the number of boilers
operating.
The Challenge
They needed a high effi ciency
heating solution which not only
achieved savings in energy
costs, but helped meet its CSR
objectives. Additionally this
offi ce building would be fully
occupied throughout the four
week programme of works and a
temporary heating solution was
provided by Antac’s own portable
gas boiler.
The Solution
Antac selected an Alpha ARES
Tec condensing boiler as the best
heating solution. This is a fl oor
standing condensing boiler that
provides an infi nitely fl exible
solution for buildings requiring
high output heating. It is made
up of a number of self-contained
heat generating modules
forming a series of boilers linked
together within a single casing.
Each heat generating module
is self-contained, with its own
down-fi ring pre-mix gas burner,
fan, ignition and safety controls.
As system load decreases, a
built-in Boiler Cascade Manager
modulates the boiler down to
the combined minimum. As
the load continues to reduce,
individual modules are switched
off as necessary. This modular
design enables ARES Tec boilers
to optimise energy effi ciency
achieving up to 109%.
Installation
An extensive refurbishment of
the plant room was needed to
accommodate the new boiler.
All pipework, pumps and valves
were replaced and the boiler
was connected indirectly via a
plate heat exchanger to reduce
boiler contamination extending
its life. Alterations had to be
made to the roof due to the
newly installed single fl ue. Antac
integrated the boiler controls
into the existing Trend BMS and
re-commisioned the system.
