Ecodan Helps Deliver Environmental Requirements For Manchester Build
Ecodan has deployed its ASHP system to help meet the environmental planning requirements for a new residential development in Manchester.
The system has provided community heating to Aaben, a 105-home development in Hulme.
Engineering Design Partnership was given the job of value engineering the scheme.
Dan Martell, Design Engineer, EDP, said: "Following the successful installation of a Mitsubishi Electric air source heat pump system on a previous residential scheme, we recommended the Ecodan ASHP system as we knew it would perform well, and offer a cost-efficient solution for The Aaben."
Proline was then selected to install eight CAHV-P500YA Ecoda systems on the main roof of the development.
The systems provide hot water to a heat interface unit located within each dwelling, providing hot water and heating for the occupants. Each tenant is charged accordingly via a heat meter measuring how much heat energy is taken from the network.
Paul Gledhill, Project Manager, Proline, commented: `'The Ecodan system was perfect for this project as the units are designed to meet the heating and domestic hot water requirements for all apartments or houses via a district heating system. As the system is located on the main roof, there were some sound issues to overcome but these were easily resolved with the erection of an acoustic wall to prevent sound breaching the plant area."
The Aaben is now eligible to benefit from the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.
