CHP is often used in district heating networks, for which the Government has announced support via a £320 m investment in the next five years.
Hamworthy Heating said: “CIBSE guidance AM12 – Combined Heat and Power for Buildings (CHP), makes specific reference to a minimum 30˚C differential temperature for heat network design – to keep flow rates and pipe sizes small, and maintain a lower return temperature even when demand is low, for more efficient plant operation. Benefiting from operation of up to 40 °C differential temperature and a maximum flow temperature of 90 °C, Hamworthy Heating’s Wessex ModuMax commercial boiler range is ideally suited to support renewable energy products as a secondary heat source, including CHP, in a heat network.”
The Wessex ModuMax mk3 gas condensing boiler provides high outputs on a small footprint. Modules can be combined flexibly, and stacked vertically. Close load matching ‘allows more efficient operation and less wastage of energy’.
