Ballance Street, Bath, BA1 2RP
1,440kW of heating provided by 12 x Vaillant ecoTEC boilers on rigs
Built in 1972, the Ballance Street block of 196 flats was in need of a replacement heating system but needed a supplier who could keep the heating available to tenants at all times during the upgrade.
Curo Group chose Vaillant as the versatility of the ecoTEC boiler rigs meant that two of the current Viessmann Vertomat 575kW boilers could be removed and one 6 boiler rig installed, whilst the remaining old boiler supplied the heat. The second bank of 6 x ecoTEC boilers was installed once the first were fully up and running and the tenants experienced no disruption. The new boilers were hydraulically separated from the water in the heating system using two Vaillant loss separation heat plate heat exchangers ensuring the boiler give optimum performance for their lifetime.

Bourne Grammar School, Bourne, Lincolnshire
Peak performance guaranteed at top performing academy
Top performing academy, Bourne Grammar School chose Vaillant to replace their heating and hot water system. Ageing Hoval boilers were replaced with three ecoTEC 120kW boilers together with a Vaillant VCR 103 boiler mounting frame with hydraulics and insulation for ease of installation.
A Vaillant PHE C 480‐90 floor‐standing Low Loss separation heat exchanger header was used to separate the old system water from the new boilers, thereby safeguarding the new boilers from any dirt or debris which may be left in the old pipe work. This also ensures maximum efficiency from the boilers for their complete life‐time. Flueing of the boilers was also made easy using the Vaillant 200mm Cascade Polypropylene flue system inside the plant room and Vaillant’s 200/300mm stainless steel façade flue outside.

Cavendish Hotel, Chatsworth Estate, Baslow, Derbyshire
Ancient Inn benefits from heating and hot water upgrade
Installing contractor Mark Coyle of Universal Gas Services knew exactly where to turn when called on to replace an ageing mix of Potterton wall and floor boilers in this historic building—the site visits and guidance provided by Vaillant would ensure that the products specified met the needs of the client in the best possible way.
The plant room was incredibly small with no exit for concentric flues so the boilers had to use an old brick chimney with a new flue liner. The Client has been delighted with the boilers’ reliability and the improved comfort levels in the hotel.

Tate Britain, Millbank, London
Modern and efficient boiler plant for this classic art gallery
Known as ‘Tate Gallery’ until 2000, the building was opened in 1897 and houses The British Art Collection containing 70,000 artworks by over 3,000 artists dating from 1500 to the present day.
