CHP meets heat-interface units in supported housing
Being able to supply top-entry heat interface units, rather than the standard bottom entry, led to MHG Heating supplying 74 bespoke Teleheat units for a retired/ sheltered housing development in Berkshire. Operated by Sovereign Housing Association, The Priory consists of two curved apartment buildings with 46 extra-apartments and 28 homes for people over 55.
There is a district-heating network served from a central plant room. Base load are met by CHP with two gas-fired condensing boilers for peak loads.
The heat-interface units include heat and water meters to provide Sovereign with centralised monitoring and billing facilities.
Other features of these units include hot-water pre-heat from instantaneous DHW in the summer when space-heating demands are low, hot-water priority, gradual warm up for the heating circuit and a program to exercise the pump and mixing valve.
