Remeha high efficiency condensing boilers have been installed at
the four-star Mercure London Heathrow Hotel to meet the requirement for
reliable high-performance space heating and hot water provision.
When the existing boilers began to fail at this premier hotel, the
management was quick to act to maintain the very highest comfort levels for its
guests.
Heating and hot water are typically large users of energy in
hotels, so energy efficiency was a key requirement to keep costs and
environmental impact low. In terms of boiler selection, a further consideration
for project contractors Pipetech Mechanical was boiler size due to the
restricted available space within the small, low-ceilinged plant room.
They recommended installing two Remeha Gas 220 Ace 300 high
efficiency floor standing condensing boilers as the best solution for this
project.
Fred Byng, MD at Pipetech Mechanical, said: “We recommended Remeha because we have worked with them on
previous projects and have found their boilers to be extremely reliable and
efficient. This is backed by the excellent service we receive from our Sales
Manager Will Jones.”
The design of the Gas 220 Ace made it perfectly suited to the
Mercure London Heathrow Hotel, as Fred explained:
“The narrow, slim dimensions of the Gas 220 Ace boilers were a
major benefit on this project,” said Fred. “The design of the boilers enabled a
smooth installation and allowed us to install a high heat output in a compact
footprint.”
An added challenge on the project was the need to avoid any
interruption to the heating service throughout the works.
To achieve this, Pipetech Mechanical removed two of the old
boilers to make space for the first of the new Remeha boilers. Once this was
fitted and running, the system could be switched over. The last of the old
boilers was then removed and the second new Remeha boiler installed. A plate
heat exchanger was applied to separate the heating and boiler circuits and
protect the new boilers from any debris or contaminated water.
“The project went extremely well with the hotel experiencing no
downtime whatsoever,” added Fred. “The new Remeha boilers are operating
reliably and completely trouble free. And as they are successfully meeting the
requirements for high comfort levels and efficiency at the hotel, our client is
delighted.”
The Gas 220 Ace is a premium boiler that exceeds expectations in
both performance capability and design simplicity, making it the perfect
solution at the stylish Mercure London Heathrow Hotel.
With a reliable monobloc heat exchanger at its heart for improved
reliability and lifespan, the Gas 220 Ace achieves excellent high efficiencies
and low Class 6 NOx emissions.
The Gas 220 Ace range is available in 160, 200, 250 and 300
models. This fully modulating floor standing boiler series is supplied with
onboard time and temperature controls, with direct connection to a Building
Management System provided as standard to optimise heating efficiency.
