secondary flow & return headers were installed within G47 Boiler Room. Heating pipework was
split into 3 Zones. Each HTG circuit was completed with a Belimo 3-port mixing valve.
Zone A: 40ø HTG flow & return serving Main Hall, Sen Classroom and Reception offices.
Zone B: 40ø HTG flow & return serving ground and first floor central classrooms.
Zone C: 32ø HTG flow & return serving 2012 extension block. - Pipework was fabricated from stainless steel tubing with crimped fittings.
- Gas Safety System – Installed new gas safety system comprising a S&S Northern control panel
within the boiler room complete with CO and natural gas sensors. Solenoid shut off valve to boiler
gas inlets was linked to the fire alarm. - Gas isolating valves were installed at the inlet to each of the existing boilers and linked to a gas
emergency knock-off button located at the exit to the boiler room via electro-thermal links over
each boiler. - Undertook a soundness test on the existing gas installation.
Strainers –Strainer are fitted at the end of each pipework Zone return before the 100ø return
header and existing Low Loss Header to protect the existing boilers. - Heating Controls - Installed a new Building Management System via Smart Control Systems Ltd
complete with a Trend IQ4E. The plant controlled by the BMS is as follows: Gas Safety System
panel, Gas solenoid valve, Flamco Pressurisation Unit, 4 No. LPHW Remeha Quinta Ace boilers, 3
No. Grundfos Magna3D VT heating circuit pumpsets, 1 No. Grundfos Magna3D CT heating
pumpset, existing HWS secondary pump and HWS MegaFlow Eco Direct Hot Water Cylinder. - Thermal Insulation - Installed thermal insulation on all new pipework, including rigid plastic
cladding around headers and removable valve bags within plant room.
