Life cycle costs of a heating system
When purchasing new equipment, there is always the question concerning upfront costs and running costs. In this article, we compare both of them and explain the advantages of looking at the long-term costs of heating equipment.
Load matching in multiple boiler installations
The use of several small boilers compared to one big boiler can make your heating system a lot more efficient. How it works - learn more about the benefits of large turndown ratios and improved system efficiencies.
Low loss headers explained
Why should you use a low loss header in your commercial heating system? We explain how it works and what benefits it can have for your heating system.
Managing the risk of legionella in domestic hot water systems
This Hamworthy article and video shows how legionella protection cycle works with a commercial direct fired water heater.
Medium Combustion Plant Directive in commercial heating
The Medium Combustion Plant Directive came into force in 2018 and regulates sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissisions as well as dust into the air from combustion plants. In this article, we look at the MCPD specifically in reference to commercial boiler plants.
Minimising heating plant size
Plant room space in the city is limited and expensive. What if you could minimise the size of your heating plant? We look at how modular boilers can achieve this.
Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards
Non-domestic private rented properties are required to meet a minimum threshold when it comes to energy efficiency. This is regulated in the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards which were enforced in the Energy Act in 2011. We have put together some information on this for you.
Modular boilers for heat networks
Modular boilers are a compact and flexible solution. In heat networks, they can provide an excellent back up and top up solution to support other equipment such as CHP. Learn more about why modular boilers are being used in district heating schemes.
