Four Evomod 1000kW output boilers from Ideal Heating – Commercial Products have been installed at Beetham Tower in Manchester, which has the distinction of being one of the UK’s tallest buildings outside of London.
improve energy efficiency
The 47-storey building, which is home to the Hilton Hotel and private residential apartments, has been heated by four gas-fired atmospheric steel one-piece boilers, with a total heat output of 4800kW, since its inception in 2006.
With the boilers coming towards the end of their working lives, and with the building owners looking to improve energy efficiency, the decision was made to replace them rather than attempt ongoing repairs.
Evomod boilers
Evomod will achieve an output of up to 1MW from a single unit solution together with a minimum footprint
Manchester-based mechanical and electrical contractor - Atmostherm, a long-standing Ideal Heating – Commercial Products customer, chose Evomod boilers for this site, based on Evomod’s small footprint and modular nature which made locating and installation easier than expected in the small plant room which had restricted access.
Available in 250, 500, 750, and 1000kW outputs, the Evomod will achieve an output of up to 1MW from a single unit solution together with a minimum footprint that enables the product to be installed where space is limited. Each module provides a maximum of 250kW heat output and will modulate down through a sophisticated control system.
free commissioning service
At Beetham Tower, four Evomod 1000kW output boilers have been installed by Atmostherm with Plate Heat Exchangers to achieve the appropriate pressure on the output to pump the hot water across the entire building.
Atmostherm took advantage of Ideal Heating’s free commissioning service on this project, which has been designed to save installers time and money, plus ensures the appliance is correctly commissioned and operating. Ideal Heating is the only manufacturer to offer a free-of-charge commissioning service and has done so since its launch in 2018.
Smooth installation
The service from Ideal Heating has been brilliant from beginning to end"
The level of service and technical backup supplied by Ideal Heating was important to Atmostherm as Project Director - Andy Payne comments, “The service from Ideal Heating has been brilliant from beginning to end. The team was available to come to the site for visits when required and the commissioning process went very smoothly. They were also on hand to help us when it came to deciding to use the plate heat exchanger to achieve our desired output.”
Evomod boilers are fully operational
The newly installed Evomod boilers are fully operational and are being used to carry out the heating across the entire building, including the residential apartments, and the Hilton Hotel and its health and fitness facilities.
Ideal Heating delivers commercial heating solutions that are at the forefront of technology and developed in line with the latest market trends and legislation.
