One of the challenges facing the building industry to meet the Government’s latest proposals of making housing more suitable for an ageing population can be met by Trianco Heating Products’ highly-efficient Activair heating and hot water system.
Under the Lifetime Homes, Lifetime Neighbourhoods plans, the Government wants to make entire neighbourhoods suitable for elderly people. This includes proposals that all new homes should have a bathroom on the ground floor in order to meet the needs of the UK’s ageing population. It is anticipated that the government will eventually require refurbishment projects to meet the same requirement of ground-floor facilities to avoid having to use stairs in residential properties.
Activair air source heat pumps are well-suited to provide heat and hot water to additional rooms, especially bathrooms, where showers and baths require regular extra heating capacity.
The Activair is said to be quick and easy to install, usually on an outside wall or loft space, to supplement already-installed conventional central heating. A pump extracts the ambient heat stored in the air and converts this using a heat exchanger and fan into heat for domestic heating and hot water using very low amount of electrical power.
A super-efficient 240000 BTU Trianco Premier A rated condensing oil boiler is helping transform the luxury Dewstow Golf Club & Gardens as part of a major refurbishment.
The emission-reducing boiler was installed by M&W Builders to heat the club's function and reception areas. Further oil boilers from the company, yet to be installed, will heat the hotel and private accommodation areas.
The product is more than 90% efficient and uses a baffle system to cool emissions so latent heat is returned to the system to enhance performance.
Converting wasted heat to provide low cost hot water, the new Activair air source heat pump from Trianco Heating Products is claimed to have minimal negative impact on the environment. The company says it is ideal for installation where concerns over climate change are taken seriously.
It is available in 3kW, 5kW, 7kW and 12kW versions. The unit is quickly and easily installed in half a day and can be five times as efficient as a gas or oil boiler.
When used in the home, it is capable of supplying all of a family's hot water needs.
Profitable use of otherwise wasted heat can be achieved by the installation of an Activair air source heat pump from Trianco.
The product extracts heat from the surrounding air and uses it to heat water, meaning a constant supply of water at 60?C. Mounted in a loft, garage or air cupboard, it provides at least 60% of a households hot water needs whilst at the same time not impacting the environment.
Boilers from Trianco Heating Products have been specified for a Redrow Homes housing development. A mixture of 36 EuroStar oil-fired boilers and 12 Aztec electric boilers were installed.
The oil boilers are wall-mounted, balanced-flue 50/70 models and the Aztecs are rated 12kW each. Limited rear access for oil-tank refilling meant the Aztecs were used.
Clean coal technology is available from Trianco's EuroStar TRG gravity-fed boilers, which are designed to suit modern kitchen installation, and the roomheater for fireplace applications.
The gravity-fed, forced draught boilers are available with three outputs of 45, 60 and 80000 btus and are suitable for 21, 30 and 42m? of radiator surface. In homes of two or three bedrooms, the EuroStar TRH roomheater puts out 13kW, serving a 20m? radiator surface.
At Carworgie Manor Park, 230 Trianco Aztec Electric Classic boilers, rated 9kW each, are being fitted in four-bedroom time-share units on the site, including 150 involving conversion from earlier electric storage radiator installations.
Specified to eliminated the extra work that is associated with gas boilers, the electric products were used in conjunction with radiators. The Aztec boilers have British Standards Institute's kitemarking, space-saving size, siting flexibility and nearly 100% power to heat efficiency, the company claims.
Mounted in a loft, Trianco's new air-source heat pump makes use of wasted heat which rises internally, in addition to any solar heat striking a roof externally.
The company claims that it can be four or five times as efficient as a gas or oil boiler, and it can supply an average family's hot water needs.
Oil-fired condensing boilers from Trianco's EuroStar Premier range meet part L revisions for 2007. There are seven models in the range for garages and kitchen installations, of which all are SEDBUK 'A' rated. A baffle system cools emissions so that latent heat is returned to the system, reducing CO? and NOx emissions.
Supplying heating and hot water to properties at the Waters Edge development in Cambridgeshire is the Trianco EuroStar oil fired system. With no gas available at the development, oil was chosen as an alternative to heat the three and four bedroom homes.
The system comes with a circular flue and has heat outputs ranging from 14.6kW to 26.3kW and features include low noxious emissions. It is SEDBUK C rated and fits under work surfaces.
Part of a programme of upgrading efficiencies throughout the range, Trianco's Eurostar Premier Eurotrader floor standing oil boilers have been upgraded to SEDBUK band A. This is in order to provide a cost effective solution for boilers sited in garages or boiler houses, rather than kitchens.
With a four-inch conventional flue as standard, and balanced flue optional, the boilers need only four 22mm compression fittings for their flow and return connections. Range-rated outputs of the two sizes are 14.6 to 26.3kW and 29.3 to 36.6kW. Both models are 455mm wide, while heights are 640mm and 710mm respectively and depths to the wall are 360 and 440mm.
The boilers can cut fuel bills by up to 15 or 20% in comparison with a standard efficiency model, the company claims.
Capable of delivering 11.5 l/min at 40?C, a floorstanding oil-fired combination boiler has been added to Trianco's 'low-priced' Contractor range.
Sized to fit beneath a standard kitchen worktop, this top servicing boiler offers an overall output of 32kW and is SEDBUK C rated. Requiring two connections of 22mm for heating purposes and two for domestic hot water, it is supplied with a conventional flue as standard, with the option of converting to a balanced flue for either low-level or high-level positioning.
Featuring a fully insulated, white stove-enamelled casing, the boiler's components include an Ecoflam Max 4 burner, three-speed Grundfos pump, ten litre expansion vessel and stainless steel heat exchanger.
Controls include an adjustable boiler thermostat, high-limit thermostat, pre-set domestic hot water thermostat and an overrun domestic hot water thermostat. In addition, the Contractor Combi has a three-bar safety blow-off valve and a domestic hot water flow switch operated by mains pressure. It can be used with sealed systems and comes with flexible oil line and shut-off valve.
Suitable for use where space is tight, Trianco's Aztec electric boiler has been chosen for a development in Norfolk.
The product can be situated anywhere within a property, as it produces no noxious gases and does not require an external flue.
Each apartment in the development has a pressurised system with one 6kW Aztec, running on a Economy 18 tariff and installed within the airing cupboard.
It is 99.8% efficient, and has the British Standards Kitemark. Available in outputs from 2kW to 12kW, the boilers can be linked in any combination to provide greater heating capacity.
Rated C in the SEDBUK tables and sized to fit unobtrusively into a run of wallhung kitchen cabinets, Trianco has introduced its latest oil-fired boiler, the Contractor Wallmounted. Output is range rated from 14.6 to 20.5kW and factory set at 17.5kW. The boiler is suitable for fully pumped, open or sealed systems and all parts are accessible from the front for ease of servicing.
Six boilers have been provided by Trianco for use at Camborn College, Cornwall in a joint venture which allows the company to use the college?s Built Environment and Engineering facility for its customer courses. One Aztec and five EuroStar oil boilers have been linked to heating systems, allowing students to undertake fault finding, repairs and servicing.
Designed to provide energy savings and reduce pollutant emissions, Trianco offer the EuroStar Premier 50/90 high-efficiency oilfired condensing boilers. Of the two models, one is a system version, and both are range rated from 14.6 to 26.3kW with over 90% efficiency, giving them an A rating in the SEDBUK tables. A height of 850mm and depth to the wall of 600mm enable installation of these floor standing boilers under worktops in runs of fitted kitchen cabinets. The boilers feature a baffle system which cools emissions so that latent heat, usually lost through the flue, is brought back into the system to enhance performance while reducing both CO<SUB>2</SUB> and NOx. The system model comes complete with circulating pump, safety valve, automatic air vent, pressure gauge and expansion vessel.
In preparation for the introduction of the new Part L regulations, Trianco has re-entered the gasfired boiler market with two TriStar Optima condensing models - a condensing combination and a condensing system unit. Both models offer range-rated outputs from 5.6 to 28kW and are rated Sedbuk A. Domestic flow rate from the condensing combi is 14.2 litres at 30?C temperature rise. Features of the range include an optimiser external temperature regulating sensor which is designed to ensure efficient operation when used in conjunction with the recommended optional boiler control unit/programmer. They also feature continuous heating power with a fully modulating pump. Both Optima boilers are quiet in operation and low in NOx emissions.
Providing a compact and simple heating solution, Trianco Aztec electric boilers are being installed by Bellway Homes within all 42 of the one- and two-bedroom apartments at its Darwin?s Place development in Nottingham. Depending on the size of the individual properties, 6, 9 or 12kW Aztecs are being installed - each boasting a 99.8% efficiency rating. The offer temperature outputs from 50°C to 75°C to supply all forms of heating ? from underfloor systems to conventional radiators ? in open vent or sealed systems.
Rated C in SEDBUK tables, the Trianco EuroStar oil-fired floorstanding combi boiler comes in two output sizes ? up to 19 and 26.3kW. Measuring 600mm deep and 860mm high, the boilers can be fitted under kitchen worktops. Steel casings are stove-enamelled white and, for replacement work with existing pipework, installation is said to be easy. One of the features of the boiler is the Eco facility for energy savings. Twin thermostats control hot water and central heating separately, and variable outputs make the boilers suitable for dwellings with one- or two-bathrooms. Other features include Ecoflam burners, standard components to make servicing easy, low emission levels, and a design which is said to meet all the relevant European standards. Ease of installation is another feature of the boiler?s design.
