Under a partnership agreement with Cheshire County Council, MITIE Engineering Services (North) Ltd, working closely with Buderus, have recently completed a boiler replacement at Greenbank School in Northwich.
As part of a wider refurbishment project, three Buderus GE315 200kW cast iron boilers replaced the existing 20 year old boilers. The new, high efficiency boilers utilise the existing radiators and pipework to meet the heating needs of the whole school and the associated accommodation blocks for the residential students at the school.
Buderus cast iron boilers were chosen in preference to a condensing boiler system as the existing installation has a high water volume with high flow and return temperatures to meet the heavy ongoing regular demand pattern. In these circumstances a condensing boiler would not have operated in condensing mode for sufficient periods to make it an economical or efficient option.
The Buderus GE315 cast iron boiler is an especially good choice for replacements of high water content and high flow/return temperature systems. Thanks to modern casting technology Buderus cast iron boilers have a net operating efficiency of up to 96% which will ensure substantial cost savings in comparison with the many out-dated and obsolete heating systems that still populate many UK schools and institutions. They are built using Buderus corrosion resistant GL180M cast iron and are an especially cost effective and durable option for installations where high flow rates demand low resistance across the heat exchanger. Buderus cast iron boilers exceed current legislation under Building Regulations Part L in their own right, achieving efficiency levels above the required 84% seasonal efficiency for new, single boiler installations. Combine them with an intelligent controls system, and even greater energy savings are possible.
Buderus have an enviable reputation across Europe for high quality, precision engineered innovative and robust cast iron boilers. The full range of commercial boilers includes fully condensing stainless steel and cast aluminium appliances with outputs from 43kW to 19,200kW, so there is a fuel-efficient product suited to virtually any type of installation. The Buderus GE boilers feature patented Thermostream heat exchanger technology to prolong the life of the boiler and reduce annual maintenance costs.
