Condensing boilers from Ferroli are part of what is described as a 'revolutionary' regeneration project in Salford. Developer Urban Splash is giving hundreds of Victorian terraced homes a 21st Century make over at Chimney Pot Park.
The project's mechanical contractor recommended the 25kW combi boilers from Ferroli's SEDBUK A-rated Optimax range for the project after conducting a comparison of similar boilers on the market.
Optimax high efficiency condensing boilers are available in a wide range of models, including combination, system and open vented and in outputs from 18kW to 38kW.
Hartlepool College of Further Education is demonstrating its commitment to renewable energy, with a major investment in solar water heating from Ferroli.
In addition to installing an Aquasol system with a high efficiency combi boiler to provide hot water, the College has a training system in the heating and plumbing workshop, complete with Ferroli solar panels on a mock-up roof, as part of its new BPEC solar courses.
The solar panels in the Aquasol system pre-heat the water in an Aquasol cylinder, which then flows through a Ferroli Optimax HE combi for thermal "top up" if required.
On successful completion of the college's training on the Aquasol, students will receive the industry recognised BPEC qualification which will give them access to the government's Low Carbon Buildings Programme.
In addition to Aquasol, Staffordshire-based Ferroli also offers a solution for larger DHW users, in which the solar collector panels pre-heat the water stored in an AquCyl twin coil cylinder by a primary heating coil - a Ferroli high efficiency boiler then tops up the water temperature via a secondary coil in the cylinder.
Condensing combi boilers from Ferroli's Optimax range have been chosen for a multi-million pound development in Plymouth combining rental, shared ownership and privately-owned properties.
The boiler modulates its output up to 25kW to the central heating circuit, and automatically switches to 29kW for heating hot water which allows it to produce up to 12 litres/min of domestic hot water at 35?C rise.
The Optimax combis are compact and able to fit on most outside walls of smaller kitchens.
Boilers for a contemporary development of starter homes in Plymouth have been provided by Ferroli with the company's Optimax 25C condensing combi units being installed.
The Band A Optimax boiler satisfied the project's performance specification in terms of energy efficiency and anticipated heating and Direct Hot Water demands.
On-board LED controls allow for ease of use with either 38kW, 31kW combi, 31kW or 25kW models in the range.
With fourteen engineering upgrades to the original Optimax Band A boiler, Ferroli has launched the Optimax HE combi and system boiler which allows for easier installation and servicing.
The new range includes 38kW and 31kW combis with 31kW and 25kW models to be launched to complete the range alongside the existing 25kW open-vented model.
On-board LCD controls provide ease of use and the product features built-in system filling loop, built-in automatic by-pass, and an optional built-in timer. It is compatible with the company's solar heating system.
A recent renovation project by M&M Heating Services allowed for the stripping out of an old boiler with its gravity feed and upgrading to a Ferroli Maxima 35kW system boiler. It is coupled to a 500 litre unvented hot water cylinder fitted with twin coils which ensure an eight minute reheat to 60?C.
An S-Plan control system provides domestic hot water and serves fairly central heating circuits, according to demands. The products also include a self-diagnostic facility and an LCD panel for ease of use.
The conversion of a disused primary school in Coleraine, Northern Ireland into 24 apartments has included the installation of Maxima condensing combi boilers from Ferroli. LPG versions have been specified, which will be converted to natural gas when this is brought to the area. With difficult siting due to thick walls, a wide range of flueing options had to be employed.
Boilers from Ferroli are providing a heating solution for a manor house in Brighton. Three oil-fired GN2 N cast iron sectional boilers have been installed. The product is designed for use with forced draught gas, dual fuel or pressure jet oil, and offers the choice of on/off, high/low or fully modulating burners.
Operating with fully pumped indirect or sealed heating systems, they have a working pressure of 4 bar and flow temperature of 85?C. It has a pre-wired control panel which includes a high/low thermostat, thermometer and altitude gauge.
Replacing three coal-fired boilers at an education site in Wigan, two Ferroli GN 4N cast iron boilers are serving the needs of Brookfield High School and Park Centre Teacher Training College, which are both located on the site.
A 'zone' control system, which allows the heating to be switched off in either building as required, is designed to allow energy efficiency.
Each of the two boilers installed has an output of 590kW. The range is available in 120kW to 650kW versions and can be supplied factory matched with oil, gas or dual fuel burners.
The boilers are designed for use with fully pumped indirect heating systems operating up to 4 bar working pressure and 90?C flow temperature with a three pass flueway.
Specified for a central heating improvement programme by Sunderland Housing Group, Ferroli's Maxima Band A condensing combi boiler will replace old boilers in 28,500 homes over the next ten years.
Providing a solution for domestic central heating and hot water applications, the Maxima range is available in 10.2kW to 35kW outputs. It includes the 35 S System boiler and 35 C combi which has a 14.2 l/min flow rate. All models feature fuel/air mixing and a ceramic plaque burner with spark ignition for clean combustion that produces low emissions and quiet operation.
Designed for ease of use, the boilers include a self-diagnostic facility and access to components. A selection of flue options is available, enabling installers to overcome any potential siting problems. An LCD display ensures ease of operation for the user
Combination boilers by Ferroli are playing a role in property improvements from Glasgow Housing Association. The company's 80 Combi boilers are being installed in thousands of council homes across the city. The Modena range of boilers is claimed by the company to be 30% smaller and 40% lighter than traditional combi boilers, and provides a domestic hot water flow rate of up to 9.7 l/min at 35?C rise.
