Heang is key to comfort in all buildings, but they become vital in some sengs. One of those is healthcare, where posive surgical outcomes, recovery and ongoing wellbeing are directly linked to paent comfort and cleanliness. In two locaons in Hull, one a hospital and the other a community facility, paents are kept warm by Ideal Heang boilers.


population of Hull and its surrounding areas. The Trust is made up of two main hospitals, Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital, while also providing additional services based across the city and region.

The iconic 14-storey building of Hull Royal Infirmary had its foundation stone laid in 1963 and other buildings on the site have been added over time. To ensure the continuous supply of healthcare services, the Trust carried out a project to upgrade the existing Ideal Heating Super Series 3 and 4 boilers across the Hull Royal Infirmary site in clinical and non-clinical buildings that are used 365 days a year.


When it came to replacing the boilers, there was an obvious choice. “Ideal Heating were our first choice; the original boilers were also Ideal, and they had served us well for over thirty years,” Alex Best, Engineering and Capital Development Manager at the Trust, said.

The newly launched Evomax 2 wall hung condensing boiler was chosen as the replacement for all the Super Series boilers. Designed to improve installation, maintenance and servicing, the range features outputs from 30 to 150kW using Natural Gas and an expanded LPG range of 30 to 120kW. The whole range can easily be cascaded using in-line or back-to-back Frame & Header kits, offering a total output of up to 900kW in one cascade formation. Like its predecessor, Evomax 2 was designed and developed at Ideal’s headquarters just a few miles from Hull Royal Infirmary; it is also manufactured at the same site. Many of Evomax 2’s accessories, including the cascade Frame & Header kits, are also UK manufactured.

Included in the new design is an in- built non-return valve, allowing for increased safety in multiple boiler and combined flue installations. The lift weight has been reduced by up to 10% to aid installation and three sides of the chassis can be removed, offering better access for future service and maintenance. Eleven Evomax 2 boilers were installed in the six plant rooms that made up the project across the boiler’s output range. The cascade options were particularly handy as all plantrooms required multi-boiler installation. The total output across the Hull Royal Infirmary site was 1.13MW.


NEC Services Ltd, a Hull based company that provide electrical, mechanical and gas services with over 15 years’ experience specialising in commercial and industrial installations, were brought in to complete the project.

Kristian Newell, Mechanical Director at NEC Services, was impressed with Evomax 2. “It has better controls that are more user friendly and the flues are easier to install due to the non-return valve being inside the boiler already. There’s a lot more space inside the boiler for working on for


maintenance purposes and we also found that the boilers were much easier to mount on the frames,” he said.


“The installation process went brilliantly,” Kristian explained. “We completed the full installation within two months, so we were well within the timeframe set by the Trust.” Energy efficiency was an essential part of this project. “Part of my role is to look for energy saving technology,” Alex explained. “We are hoping to achieve a total of 15% of efficiency savings, which equates to £2,000 per plant room per year, saving the Trust £12,000 per year in total. I’m more than confident that we will achieve this.”

On the other side of Hull is the Jean Bishop Integrated Care Centre (ICC). Named after Hull’s Bee Lady who has raised thousands of pounds for charity, the ICC is a UK first. Commissioned by NHS Hull CCG, the ICC will treat 12,000 frail older people with long term conditions who have been assessed by their GP as being at risk of hospital admission. The ICC has a team of clinicians ranging from geriatricians to social workers and can perform blood tests and x-rays. The aim of the centre is to reduce unplanned hospital admissions by 20%.


Opened in May 2018, at the heart of the ICC are 2 Ideal Heating Imax Xtra boilers each with an output of 120kW. These ensure that patient comfort is maintained throughout opening hours.


Ensuring that patients are


comfortable in healthcare settings is vital to the wellbeing of patients, and Ideal Heating is proud to be playing its part in two key facilities in its home town.
