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.
