Baxi Group supplies high efficiency water heaters

Two Andrews Supa-Flo Series water heaters have been installed at an Olympic training facility to provide energy efficiency.

The systems were installed at the Lee Valley Athletics Centre at Picketts Lock, Edmonton, two years ago.

The building has now been awarded the highest level Display Energy Certificate (DEC) A Grade.

DECs are a government initiative designed to reduce carbon emissions in buildings and have been in effect for nearly a year.

On each DEC, there is an Operational Rating showing the building's actual carbon emissions for the last two years; a G rating uses the most energy where as an A rating means the building is producing only a quarter or less of the carbon emissions typical of its size and function.

The two Supa-flo water heaters were installed in the main plant room.

The compact dimensions and rectangular shape of the units made them easy to accommodate.

The water heaters each have a nominal output of 139 kW and a recovery rate of 2,382 l/hour through a temperature rise of 50C.

Supa-Flo water heaters are fast, quiet, compact and highly efficient, with a net efficiency of 104 per cent.

The Supa-Flo range is suitable for installations where peak demand for hot water occurs at specific times thanks to their fast recovery rates.

The newly installed units provide ample hot water for 12 showers in the female and male changing facilities, whatever the level of demand.
