MHS Boilers goes into Battle for visitor centre

Two Ultramax WM100 wall mounted high-performance condensing boilers from MHS have been installed at a new visitor centre at Battle Abbey, East Sussex. The visitor centre provides orientation and interpretation facilities, new visitor toilets and a café, together with new landscaping within the Abbey grounds.  The building follows the slope of the site and is built from Sussex Sandstone, brick and stainless steel and has a fully glazed façade in the café. 

The visitor centre, which is run by English Heritage, has a building management system to ensure the most efficient use of energy. The boilers were specified for their high performance – 95% gross seasonal efficiencies – as well as for their ability to modulate their output according to the system load. 

Additionally, each Ultramax WM100 boiler delivers a high output of 100kW, and thanks to their ease of installation and range of flue options, were able to fit in a confined boiler plant room. Battle Abbey was founded in 1070 when William the Conqueror vowed to build a monastery at Battle as an act of penance for the violence of the Conquest.

The high altar was placed on the spot where it was said that King Harold died. The installation was specified by Dominic Shortland of GDA Associates, Brenchley, Kent and completed by BSW Heating of Haywards Heath, Sussex.The Ultramax WM range of wall mounted gas fired condensing boilers set a new benchmark in power for appliances of their type.  There are five models available at 45kW, 65kW, 85kW, 100kW and 120kW. 

Thanks to their high outputs and wall mounting, plant room space can be maximised and valuable floor space used for other purposes.   The three boilers with the smaller outputs are supplied with integral modulating speed primary pumps. Engineered in a compact and uncluttered frame, the boiler utilises the well proven helical stainless steel tube type heat exchanger and coupled with its matched modulating premix burner can return efficiency in excess of 109.5% net with a turndown range of up to 7:1 dependant upon model..

All models can be room sealed if required and flued over considerable distances either 2 x DN80 tubes or 2 x DN100 tubes dependant upon model. Concentric flue components may also be used with sizes at 80/125 or 100/150 dependant upon model. Environmental impact is kept to a minimum through very high efficiency and very low emissions from the clean burning premix combustion system.
