Oventrop is sole valve supplier for three new college buildings

All valves, including those for commissioning, for three buildings at Southampton City College, were supplied by Oventrop.

Oventrop valves have been used throughout three buildings that form part of the £21 million Phase 3 redevelopment of Southampton City College — including commissioning sets and differential-pressure regulating valves — thereby streamlining the purchasing route. They were installed by Haydon Mechanical & Electrical.

Included in the contract is a new energy centre housing a CHP plant and condensing boilers which serve the complete campus. The energy centre produces low-temperature hot water, which serves radiators, air-handling-unit circuits, four unit heaters and 12 fan coils in the Watts building.

Oventrop commissioning sets and differential-pressure regulating valves were used to hydronically balance the various circuits. Nearly 150 AV6/Combi 4 TRV sets control radiators in the three buildings. The AV6 TRV has a presettable valve insert permitting adjustment of water flow to suit heat demand.
