‘Step forward’ in boiler design for girls’ school
A new floor-standing boiler from ATAG Commercial has been installed at Monmouth School for Girls in Wales. The 180kW XL-F floor standing unit has been supplied with an integrated plate heat exchanger as a backpack solution and replaces two antiquated boilers
T
he new unit now provides heating and hot water for both the Allandale office building and art block at the Haberdasher-owned school. The project was overseen by Gwent-based heating consultants and engineers Pritchard Services. Phil Pritchard, sales and technical director at Pritchard Services, explained: “We’ve been using ATAG Commercial’s boilers on a wide range of applications for over eight years. Their boilers offer a quality construction, are extremely efficient and highly reliable. For this particular job at Monmouth School for Girls, the new XL-F boiler was perfect for the situation, as everything was housed inside a single unit. We’d usually have to install a frame and a cascade, but the XL-F had a simplified arrangement – from wheels on the unit through to one single flue, as opposed to multiples – not to mention a heat output

perfect for the school’s requirements.” The new floor-standing boilers boast dual heat exchanger technology, which Mr Pritchard was keen to praise: “Having two heat exchangers inside the unit saves us having to put multiple boilers in cascade, plus, having all the wiring housed in the one cabinet helps installation time. In addition, being able to add a plate heat exchanger ensured there were no issues connecting the new boiler to the school’s existing heating system, in line with the customer’s requirements, while it will also play a valuable role in preventing water contamination.”
As consultants, Pritchard Services has worked with the school for over four years, offering advice on the most efficient heating technologies available for its requirements, while adhering to the necessary budgets. For this particular project, the company deemed the
ATAG Commercial boiler to be the best suited – and most energy efficient – for the job in hand. Darren Williams, estate manager at Monmouth School for Girls, added: “We have an excellent relationship with Phil and Pritchard Services. When they recommended this boiler to replace the existing, older units, we were confident it would meet all our heating and hot water requirements, while ensuring emissions and fuel bills were kept to a minimum.” Robbie Price, installation engineer at Pritchard Services said: “The floor-standing boiler was so simple to install. It’s an excellent idea having the unit on castors, as this made it easy to transport off the vehicle, down the ramp and into the plantroom. It was also well-packaged, while the backpack with plate heat exchanger and boiler design aided installation further – it really is a step forward in boiler design.”
