Food industry
Planning a steam boiler for food production, designing an exhaust system for a baking oven in a large bakery, or developing a kitchen exhaust system for an industrial kitchen all rely on detailed and competent advice from experts in exhaust technology to maintain safety and efficiency.
Healthcare
Whether designing a high-output plant room for a major hospital, planning medical waste incineration exhaust systems, or configuring backup power generator flues for critical care facilities, detailed and competent advice from experts in exhaust technology is essential for ensuring patient safety and operational continuity.
Manufacturing
Developing high-temperature exhaust systems for factories, designing fume extraction for chemical processing plants, or configuring specialist ventilation for metal fabrication workshops requires detailed and competent advice from experts in exhaust technology to maintain air quality and protect the health of the workforce.
Data Centres
Configuring pressure-tight exhaust systems for emergency backup generators, designing high-temperature venting for load-testing facilities, or planning acoustic attenuation to manage noise levels in urban data hubs relies on detailed and competent advice from experts in exhaust technology to ensure 100% uptime and environmental safety.
Education
Calculating the requirements for a university district heating network, designing a multi-boiler cascade system for a primary school, or planning safe exhaust solutions for science laboratory fume cupboards demands detailed and competent advice from experts in exhaust technology to meet stringent building regulations and environmental standards.
Hospitality
Planning efficient flue systems for luxury hotel spa heaters, designing high-capacity kitchen extraction for busy resort restaurants, or configuring safe venting for biomass heating in rural holiday parks demands detailed and competent advice from experts in exhaust technology to ensure guest comfort and regulatory compliance.
Condensing boilers installed at Leeds Castle
This privately-owned historic monument is one of the best preserved medieval castles in Europe. In addition to providing an outstanding visitor attraction, the Castle also offers facilities for conferences and events.
In early 2010, the Castle’s management team commissioned an architect to submit designs to enable part of the Castle to be made more accessible and appealing for use as a wedding venue, with provision for wedding, reception and luxury wedding night accommodation all under one, spectacular and historic roof.
This involved the installation of two condensing boilers for heating and hot water. A site meeting involving the architect and M&E consultant revealed that the first flue concept submitted would not work, for a variety of reasons. First, the old existing flue chimney did not allow for the condensing boilers to operate correctly. Also, the fall on the flue was such that the condensate would not run back to the drain. Finally, there would be a significant additional cost, as the old flue chimney was lined with asbestos, which would need to be disposed of safely under the Government’s asbestos regulations.
Following consultation between H.O.B. Mechanical Services installation team and Specflue, a new route was devised, utilising the flexible flue system combined with a small selection of rigid flue. The new route involved running the flexible flue through a very large and historic Tudor fireplace in the reception area. Obviously, the flue had to be concealed and to do this, planning permission had to be gained as the fireplace is grade 1 listed.
The new scheme involved concealing the flue behind a false back to the fireplace. Terry Biddis of H.O.B. Mechanical Services, said: “The flexible flue system is perfect for this sort of project as it allows awkward or complex flue runs to be installed quickly and therefore cost-effectively. This means that there is often much broader scope for positioning of boilers. Following planning permission being obtained, the installation was successfully carried out within the scheduled time frame and to the satisfaction of the Castle’s owner and management team and the new facility is now open for business."
The flues were supplied by Specflue, based in Sudbury, Suffolk, who hold a large quantity of this product in stock.
