Monastery turns to biomass boiler

A monastery in West Sussex has installed a 60 kW wood-pellet boiler to supply heating and hot water for the various properties in the complex. The Windhager BioWin Excel boiler has been installed in the plant room of the community building of The Monastery of the Holy Trinity in Crawley Down.

The system also comprises a solar thermal buffer served by evacuated-tube solar collectors. The installation qualifies for the non-domestic RHI. The system was installed by A Greener Alternative.

There are two separate fuel stores, each with a capacity of 8 t. They only require refilling once a year.

The system is controlled by Windhager’s modular energy system control solution, which enables up to 10 heating circuits to be operated from a single master control.
