Hamworthy Heating - Experts & Thought Leaders

When Doncaster Racecourse needed an efficient and space-saving solution to replace its existing boilers that had reached the end of their operational life, a new Upton floor-standing modular boiler system from Hamworthy Heating was specified to efficiently satisfy the high demands placed on the venue, with minimum disruption to the busy racecourse. Following a site visit to Doncaster Racecourse to evaluate the venues requirements, Essex-based contractor ProRite Ltd turned to its local Hamworthy Heating representative, who proposed installing three vertically stacked Upton UF900-3 floor standing condensing boilers and a low loss header kit with a combined air and dirt separator.  Hamworthy Heating feature Upton modular boilers from Hamworthy Heating feature an aluminum heat exchanger Upton modular boilers from Hamworthy Heating feature an aluminum heat exchanger and can deliver 1 MW output from less than 1 m² of floor space. Readily available and delivered fully assembled to site for easy installation, this design makes optimal use of space in the plant room at Doncaster Racecourse. Additionally, its lightweight construction means that there was no need for costly cranes or heavy lifting equipment during installation, which helped to reduce costs and minimize disruption at this popular venue. Upton floor-standing modular boiler system Available in 18 different models with outputs ranging from 100 to 1050kW, the selected Upton floor-standing modular boiler system at Doncaster Racecourse delivers an output of 900kW and a gross seasonal efficiency of up to 97% gross seasonal efficiency. A modulation of 5:1 per module (increasing to 15:1 in a three-high vertical stack) also allows closer output control.  As a result, Doncaster Racecourse can expect to benefit from increased future savings on fuel bills and reduced emissions. New Upton modular boiler system ProRite Ltd has built a reputation within the building industry by delivering design To ensure the new Upton modular boiler system was set up to achieve maximum efficiency, commissioning was also carried out by one of Hamworthy Heating’s approved service engineers.
