Room for improvement
Hamworthy Heating has supplied its latest range of Modumax mk4 floor standing boilers to the University of Huddersfield, as part of the university’s ongoing investment in improving efficiency and sustainability across its campus.
The new boilers have been installed at two key locations, Queen Street and The Laura Annie Willson Building (formerly known as the Technology Building). With limited space and access at both sites, the university needed a solution that could efficiently deliver the required heating output while making best use of the existing plant room layouts.
The chosen system includes a two-stack configuration with a total output of 294kW for the Queen Street plantroom, together with a three-stack of 762kW serving the Laura Annie Willson building.
With access to both plant rooms restricted, the modular design of the mk4 boilers played a key role in this installation. Each unit was dismantled into individual sections, which were transported through the available access routes before being reassembled in position.
The modules were then vertically stacked to make the most of the available plant room space. This allowed the boilers to be installed without the need for significant alterations to the plant rooms.
