Reznor delivers energy saving warm air heating

Reznor, the UK producer and supplier of gas-fired warm air technologies, has helped Simpsons Motor Caravan Centre in Great Yarmouth to reduce its annual energy consumption.

The company needed a replacement heating system to save energy that would allow it to take the lead on sustainability, control costs and also ensure supreme comfort for the company's staff.

In specifying a heating system, there were several complex requirements to be met.

As motorhomes are raised on hoists to work on them, it was crucial that any ceiling mounted units would not prove a fire hazard.

This led to the specification of a warm air rather than a radiant heating system.

The Reznor V3 UDSA range was specified as the most suitable solution.

The UDSA system offered the best in environmental performance, qualifying for Enhanced Capital Allowance.

This government led programme enables businesses to claim 100 per cent first-year capital allowance on low energy technologies, reducing payback times and rewarding the users of advanced and sustainable systems.

Reznor's V3 UDSA series of gas fired heater units feature a state of the art heat exchanger that grants over 92 per cent thermal efficiency and ensures the technology is compact, lightweight and cost effective.

In line with the sustainable standards expected of modern mechanical engineering, they also reduce CO2 and NOx emissions.

It is not just in heating itself that UDSA gas fired warm air heaters are leading the market.

The systems are easily installed due to their compact size and light weight, andare also easily connected to flue piping.

They operate quietly and have specially engineered louvres for thorough air distribution and user comfort.

During the summer, the units provide the movement of unheated air for cooling and ventilation.

Four UDSA units were installed at Simpson's, with outputs between 18 to 73 kW.

Two were placed in the main workshop at easily accessible sites on the perimeter to reduce working-at-height risk and maintenance costs and one was placed in the goods inward area.

The fourth UDSA unit was placed in a stores area.

Featuring four way louvres with a downflow discharge, it was suitable for the more constricted space of the room, utilising all of the advantages of the UDSA series' versatility and compactness.

The energy efficient and centrally controllable UDSA heaters replaced a centralised boiler and high level fan convectors.
