Hamworthy Heating opens R&D centre
Following his opening of the new research and development centre at Hamworthy Heating in Poole, the president of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Patrick Kniveton (left) is introduced to energy-efficient heating technology by technical director Bob Walsh. The 150 m2 facility represents an investment of £500 000. Patrick Kniveton said, ‘It is evident that the work Hamworthy Heating is doing here is pretty impressive and very promising for the future of British manufacturing.’
The purpose-built facility can fire up to three boilers with a total capacity of 1 MW and consuming 50 m3/h of cooling water. Specialist gases are available for performance and accelerated life testing.
