College set to cut emissions
January 1st 2010 Atlantic Boilers has installed new
boiler plant to heat a workshop and
laboratory at the town centre
campus of Stockport College.
The installation consists of two
R22-500 dual fuel B100 bio-fuel/
natural gas lead condensing boilers,
each rated at 530kW, and one NA-R
1160kW natural gas lag high efficiency
boiler. The in-house control system
ensures that the two R Series boilers
take up most of the heating load.
The B100 bio-fuel is kept in two
underground tanks at 5°C, then
piped to a pre-heat tank within each
R Series boiler, from which it passes
to the burner. The B100 bio-fuel oil
is said to burn with the same
maximum condensing efficiency as
fuel oil or natural gas, bringing
savings in carbon emissions. In
addition, the company says the space
requirement is minimal and less than
half the cost of bio-mass systems. More articles from Atlantic Boilers: |
