ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT PROCESS HEATING AND HOT WATER


ARI-Armaturen’s ENCOsys steam-to-water plate heat exchanger helps meet the demand for lower cost, energy efficient heating and hot water systems in the processing and manufacturing industries


C


ompanies from various industries have been utilising ARI-Armaturen’s


impressive range of engineered systems. ENCOsys plate heat exchangers have been a major solution for companies looking for a proficient heating and hot water system that will ensure a secure and economical future for their site. With so much pressure to reduce spend


and improve energy efficiency measures, many have been forced to adopt demanding targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions and are therefore looking for alternative solutions to update energy and heating systems.


LOW MAINTENANCE Offering reliable and resourceful systems with considerable savings in energy and cost (when compared to more traditional systems such as shell and tube calorifiers), ARI-Armaturen’s ENCOsys is a compact, low maintenance steam-to-


changes in the secondary operating conditions resulting in far tighter temperature control. Generally, the water temperature leaving shell and tube heat exchangers tend to cycle in a pattern similar to a sine wave which means the temperature set point may have to be set higher to ensure the unit meets the required load at all times. By using the ARI-ENCOsys, temperature control is considerably improved, typically providing an estimated 3% energy saving. Based on these factors, ENCOsys can


be approximately 7% more energy efficient when compared to a basic shell and tube heat exchanger.


SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS One of the most significant savings however, is that unlike shell and tube heat exchangers, ENCOsys does not need to be stripped down for insurance

water plate heat exchanger. Suitable for various applications


including domestic hot water, low temperature hot water, and process heating, these innovative units are currently in operation on many large- scale sites across the UK including hospitals, universities and food & drink processing plants. Designed to provide hot water


instantaneously whatever the load conditions up to 2100kW, there is no need for a water storage vessel. Having no water storage vessel also helps to eliminate a potential breeding place for Legionella and other bacteria, reducing the requirement for regular inspections. Sites with ENCOsys units installed


benefit from improvements to operating efficiency with reduced heat loss from equipment, improved temperature control as well as better thermal efficiency, all resulting in vast improvements to operation efficiency and energy savings. This system is more responsive to

inspections resulting in further cost savings, reduced downtime and dramatically improved health and safety risks associated with this work. Another benefit of the ENCOsys


heating systems is that the physical design is extremely compact, with the largest unit occupying around 3m3


the smallest unit occupying less than 1.5m3


resulting in a smaller footprint


than many other alternatives on the market.


REDUCED COST OF OWNERSHIP ARI-Armaturen UK Sales Director, Nicholas Davies, commented: “By heating the secondary water and sub- cooling the condensate in the same plate heat exchanger, substantial energy savings can be achieved and the cost of ownership is further reduced because improved energy efficiency means lower fuel bills and low CO2 emissions.” This range of well-engineered,


packaged solutions from valve specialists ARI-Armaturen UK come fully assembled to specific requirements and tested ready for connection. See how ARI-Armaturen can help you
