hot water, the team at Tech Asset Management ensured that one of the new boilers was installed and piped up in one day by using a temporary flue arrangement. For a period of around four days, the single boiler was able to run the whole hotel while the team piped up the remaining three boilers.


The existing skid had a main boiler with a flow/return header, so the main pipework had to be taken back to the header, leaving the main header in position due to the condition of the


pipework. The skid was then extended to accommodate the new boilers.


A fitting example


Given that there is a 24/7 heating and hot water demand, the boilers’ wide 9:1


modulation ratio reduces constant on/off cycling to improve efficiency and boiler longevity. A gross seasonal efficiency of up to 97.5% reduces energy consumption while a stainless steel heat exchanger helps to ensure systems cleanliness for ultimate reliability.


Ben added: “We chose the Sirius three floor standing boilers as they occupy a very small footprint


considering their power output and they were very easy to install and commission. The boilers have lifting hooks and wheels on the bottom so we just rolled them off the pallet and into position using the supplied ramp. This enabled easy access over a step in the plant room and saved us a lot of time and effort. The boilers were narrow enough to fit through a standard door which made getting the boilers into

cascade controller which was pretty neat. Commissioning was quick and simple and the boilers have a five-year warranty which was the icing on the cake really. “On all of our projects, we perform a major and minor service on an annual basis to gauge how the systems are performing. The Novotel system had a major service in September 2018 and based on combustion figures everything was running well.


“While the boilers are monitored externally, I have


visited the site on a regular basis since the install to check that everything is running as it should be. All the boilers have had the same number of burning hours and are working as efficiently as possible, meaning the cascade arrangement is working correctly. We’re really proud of the Novotel Reading project and are actually using it almost as a blueprint for other hotel projects we have in the pipeline.”
