Buderus chosen for long service in Derby ‘jail’
Published: October 2007
Heating and hot water for the separate areas of old City of Derby jail complex that has been completely refurbished as a destination venue is provided by a range of Buderus boilers. The redevelopment is being undertaken by local entrepreneur Nick Brammar in several phases. Stage one, comprising a bar, restaurant and a principal apartment is the first to be completed. Stage two is a new-build development of 16 apartments designed to match the period styling of neighbouring buildings. Stage three will include a private-function suite, bistro and two luxury apartments. The original building now includes the Limes Bar & Restaurant, with a basement bar and disco area, a ground-floor bistro bar, first-floor restaurant and bar, and a penthouse apartment. The requirements of the vaulted basement bar and disco and the large ground-floor bar are met by a 60 kW Buderus 800 boiler. A 29 kW Buderus 800 boiler provides heating for the first-floor restaurant, and another 29 kW 800 boiler serves the penthouse apartment. Buderus 600 range 28 kW combis have been specified for the phase-three function suite and the two apartments. Another 29 kW 800 model will serve the new bistro. All these boilers are SEDBUK A rated. The integrated fan and gas valve is factory set to ensure a perfect gas/air mixture, simplifying commissioning.The 800 boilers can modulate down to 30% of full output t maximise condensing operation. The variable-speed pumps also match system demand to deliver further energy savings. Related articles:
