The statistics of the heating systems selected to cater for such an environment are equally impressive.
Dravo, the industrial heating division of Johnson and Starley were specified to undertake the works, having previously successfully completed similar installations at Thrapston and Doncaster.
Nine high velocity nozzle systems are used to cover the entire area with approximately 2 miles of primary ductwork, feeding the hundreds of individual nozzle outlets, many of which being concentrated in the vicinity of the 67 loading doors.
The modulating indirect gas fired Air Handling Units have varying outputs from 420kW up to 1100kW, they are controlled by the (BMS) buildings management system.
With a view to minimising gas consumption each unit contains a hot water coil.
This coil is designed to use heat from a wood burner that utilises the vast amount of waste produced in the palletising process, it therefore minimises the running costs of the already ultra-efficient Dravo plant.
These can provide a combined total output of 1500kW. Request a free brochure from Johnson and Starley ...
