With its rich history, refined architectural details, and serene countryside setting, this estate offers a perfect blend of historical charm and natural beauty.
Project Overview:
Heating Solution: Installation of a 100kW Hargassner Eco HK wood chip boiler.
Scope of Work: Design and installation of a new heating and plumbing system throughout the estate, optimised for maximum efficiency.
Hargassner Eco HK 100kW Wood Chip Boiler:
The Hargassner Eco HK series is renowned for its advanced combustion technology and high efficiency.
Key features include:
Unique Step Grate System: Ensures optimal combustion and fuel efficiency.
Automatic Fuel Quality Detection: Adjusts combustion parameters based on fuel type for consistent performance.
Energy-Saving Ignition: Consumes only 300W, reducing operational costs.
Integrated Heat Exchanger Cleaning System: Maintains efficiency and prolongs boiler lifespan.
This boiler allows the estate to utilize its own wood resources, supplemented by external purchases as needed, promoting sustainability and cost savings.
Weather Compensation Integration:
To enhance energy efficiency, the heating system incorporates weather compensation controls.
This technology adjusts the heating output based on external temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent indoor comfort. By proactively modifying the boiler’s flow temperature in response to outdoor conditions, the system reduces energy consumption and operational costs.
Studies indicate that such systems can achieve energy savings ranging from 10% to 40%. danfoss.com
OUTCOME:
The integration of the Hargassner Eco HK 100kW wood chip boiler, combined with a modern heating and plumbing system featuring weather compensation, has revitalized the estate.
