Reznor chosen for low-carbon heating
solution
Diamond Power has installed Reznor floor-standing warm air heaters as part of a complete low-energy building design solution.
Early in the design stage, Diamond Power worked with the Carbon Trust to maximise the effectiveness of low-carbon, high efficiency technologies at its new premises, used for the manufacture of sootblowers for the power generation industry As a result of implementing the Carbon Trust's design advice, estimated cost savings for the new building are in the region of GBP27,000pa, and annual emissions reductions are approximately 163 tonnes of CO2

Reznor turns up the heat on former mill
Reznor supplied a heating system based on the highly efficient V3 single-burner heater at a 4-storey former mill at East Ardsley.
The Carbon Trust design recommendation specified both energy efficient production and building services equipment.
For heating, a total of 10 Reznor floor-standing warm air heaters, ranging in output from 30kW to 140kW, were installed around the production, high-bay warehouse and despatch areas of the plant.
The units are high-efficiency modules equipped with modulating burners and a fresh-air ventilation option.
Hugh Coyle (Health,Safety and Environment Officer) of Diamond Power comments, "The Reznor heaters have a justified reputation for heating efficiency".
"The floor-standing units have manoeuvrable vents that direct heat exactly where it is needed, which is a big factor for us in preventing energy wastage." The heaters are configured to warm the premises to 19 to 22degC, with automatic shut-off when the upper limit is reached.
"We are already seeing quite a savings in fuel costs simply from the ability to control on and off cycles," adds Mr.Coyle.
The Reznor heaters also have a mechanical heat recovery feature, which means that they can re-use heat generated by air compressors to provide 'free' warmth for the factory.
In summer, the heaters provide fresh air ventilation to keep internal temperatures cooler.
Reznor destratification fans, positioned in the roof, recirculate warm air down to the lowest three metres of the building, where it is most needed.
By helping maintain comfort temperatures at floor level, the destratification fans increase the Reznor heaters' efficiency by a further 10 to 20 percent.
