Adveco AD: Tough, Highly Efficient Commercial Water Heating

 

  • A range of compact commercial semi-instantaneous gas condensing water heaters
  • Perfect for applications requiring direct contact with soft, softened and chlorinated water
  • Highly efficient modular design offers continuity of service in one appliance

 

Commercial hot water and heating specialist Adveco, announces the AD range. A new generation of sleekly designed, modulating commercial floor-standing gas condensing water heaters to be used with a buffer for high demand semi-instantaneous hot water applications in sports & leisure centres, hotels, spas, schools, stadia, and large commercial buildings.

Bill Sinclair, technical director, Adveco said, “The titanium-stabilised stainless-steel construction of the AD range’s heat exchangers is the perfect response to counter the concerns of corrosion in soft, or softened water applications. Compact, lightweight yet still powerful, the AD’s patented space-saving design makes it equally applicable to both new projects or renovation work where a lack of space would traditionally stall or quickly drive up costs of a project.”

With each water heater composed of one to four 70 kW heat exchangers, the AD range offers appliances from 70kW up to 280 kW. This approach optimises the supplied output (up to 160 litres/minute) ensuring maximum efficiency when providing DHW. Models with multiple integrated heat exchangers offer load balancing for optimal long-life operation and inbuilt redundancy guaranteeing continuity of service.

Tough and efficient, AD water heaters are all equipped with premix burners made of Fecralloy metal fibre for large modulation range with excellent functionality at extremely high temperatures. Using a premix burner ensures the AD requires less gas, making it more cost-effective, plus reducing harmful NOX and CO emissions. The AD’s heat exchangers will also work in direct contact with chlorinated mains water.

The AD range can be configured to operate in a cascade of up to eight water heaters. The AD’s controller provides full temperature control and self-check maintenance functions. The controller also accommodates 0-10 input, MODBUS communication, and alarm output for seamless system integration.

Additional information

  • Five-year warranty on AISI 316Ti heat exchangers
  • Compact floor standing arrangement: AD 70T & AD140T H1180 x W600 x D945mm / AD210T & AD280T M1880 x W600 x D896mm
  • High maximum run pressure up to 11 bar
  • Low emissions, built with Class 6 technology for NOₓ at 27 mg/kWh GCV
  • Available for natural gas or LPG
  • Acid condensate neutraliser included
  • Ideal for soft water applications. Hard water areas over 150ppm require use of a water softener down to 100ppm.
  • Supports standard flue systems using low cost 110-160 mm diameter PP

Adveco Extends MD Family with a Range of High Efficiency Wall-Mounted Light Commercial Boilers

  • Range extension includes 10 new compact light commercial wall-mounted gas condensing boiler variants for central heating and DHW projects
  • Highly efficient, cost-effective to run and rated for ultra-low emissions
  • Compact and smart for no-nonsense installation and maintenance

Hot water and heating specialist Adveco, adds 10 new high-efficiency wall-mounted models to its popular MD condensing gas boiler range for light commercial applications.

The MD wall-mounted boilers offer the same high-quality patented heat exchanger construction, with continuous non-welded run of titanium stabilised stainless steel, providing exceptional construction strength and corrosion resistance. The wall-mounted variants of the MD also incorporate the brand-exclusive three-pass design, featuring large bore, circular tube cross-sections that reduce the collection of debris to ensure greater longevity.

All the MD boilers feature efficient pre-mix burner technology to help control operational costs and significantly reduce NOₓ and CO emissions.

Unlike many wall-mounted boilers, the compact MD offers integrated run/fault signal for connection to a BMS system. With 0-10 V input on the MD, a BMS system incorporating interior/exterior sensors can deliver automated heating control with these boilers.

Bill Sinclair, technical director, Adveco says, “Following the unprecedented success of the floor-standing MD boiler, which have received accolades from customers and trade media alike, we can now broaden the options for commercial customers with a wide choice of wall-mounted appliances. Bespoke hot water and heating system design and supply is at the very heart of everything we do, extending the MD range ensures we can continue to deliver the perfect results for your project or application.”

The new range includes boilers with rated heat outputs of 15, 24 and 34 kW. The MD15, MD24 and MD34 have two variants to accommodate either central heating only or DHW via an indirect water heater. A third variant of the MD24 and MD34 includes an integrated Plate Heat Exchanger for instantaneous DHW.

 

With a 60kW heat output, the MD60 is designed to meet the demands of commercial central heating. Available in two variants, it can be selected with (MD60C), or without (MD60A), an integrated system pump.

Built-in cascade controller and easy to use LCD display provides full temperature control and maintenance self-check for all primary components and functions. The entire MD wall-mounted range is further supported by a seven-year parts and labour warranty when boilers are commissioned by Adveco to ensure long-lasting reliability and efficiency for customer peace of mind.

MD15, MD24, MD34

  • Ultra-low NOₓ emissions at 24-31 mg/kWh
  • Uses low cost 60/100 mm diameter PP concentric flue system
  • Natural gas or LPG

MD60

  • Ultra-low NOₓ emissions at 27.9  mg/kWh
  • Uses low cost 80/125 mm diameter PP concentric flue systems
  • Natural gas or LPG

Adveco TOTEM m-CHP, a Lesson in Reduced Energy Cost and Lower Emissions

Bootham School selects Adveco TOTEM m-CHP based system for heating and domestic hot water

  • System design modelling accurately predicts operational costs and payback period
  • Savings of approximately £37,000 per annum

Bootham School in York, a charitably run independent boarding school, has selected a TOTEM micro-cogeneration (m-CHP) based system from commercial heating and hot water specialist, Adveco Ltd., for sustainable and cost-effective provision of power and heating throughout the school estate. The system provides £37,000 in annual operational cost savings and reduces the school’s CO₂ generation helping adhere to its Quaker values.

Working in partnership with Brentwood Consulting Engineers and contractor John Wright Electrical and Mechanical, Adveco recommended the installation of two TOTEM T25 m-CHP units and an. Electrical generation by the m-CHP would decrease the energy import of the school, as well as lowering carbon dioxide emissions. Heat generated would be delivered to the hot water circuit which operates constantly through the entire school.

Adveco also provided Bootham school with a Full Maintenance Contract, covering all moving parts and controls, that guarantees long-lasting CHP unit efficiency. “Whilst there are high servicing costs, we factored all of that into the total lifecycle costs. This means after 10 years rather than replacing the whole unit we can simply extend the contract with Adveco, saving the capital cost of installing new units,” says Craig Pierotti, Estates Manager, Bootham School.

Running data was analysed against the pre-contract predictions which shows that the units are performing better in terms of cost savings per run hour. By extrapolating the figures to give a full year’s running (6,677 hours) the payback periods for the project will be achieved and Bootham School should save an estimated £36,996. Importantly, the CHP system also enables the school to adhere to its Quaker values with CO₂ savings of more than 115,500 (kg.CO₂). The NOx emissions are also greatly reduced with emissions from the TOTEM units less than 40 mg/kWh of electricity output.

“The installation was completed on time, to cost, and successfully due to the team effort. Everyone was on board and got on with it, otherwise, I don’t think we would be in the situation where we are, producing the results we are today,” says Craig “Adveco are constantly monitoring the CHP’s for us and contact us only when they want to come and service the units. It is literally fit and forget. It’s absolutely fantastic!”
