Mikrofill, pressurisation, space heating

Complementing the aim of the Runways End outdoor adventure centre in Aldershot to be as environmentally friendly as possible is the use of a Mikrofill ‘direct-type’ unit as the pressurisation equipment on the LPHW system. These units have a power consumption of 10 W on standby and 30 W when fully operational and adding water to the system. Energy savings are said to be over 95% compared with a pump-type unit.

These fluid category 4 units formed part of a pressurisation package that included an expansion vessel, service drain valve and commissioning.

The equipment was specified by Hampshire County Council. ARB Mechanical Engineering of Southampton carried out the installation.
