Airtherm Engineering recently completed the installation of a twin wall, fire rated, flue system at the new £20 Million Signature Care Home for Marlow. Signature Senior Lifestyle are currently finalising the construction of the care home located on Little Marlow Road in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.
The new heating system comprises of a new gas fired boiler and two new Broag water heaters, all located in the basement boiler house. The twin wall fire rated flue systems rise through the three storey building approx 14m, exiting through a flat roof and are then offset to the taller structure, terminating at 1m above the structure in compliance with the Clean Air Act Memorandum.

This project involved the removal of the existing twin wall header system and the installation of a new twin wall four hour fire rated system to serve two MHS Ultragas condensing boilers.
Airtherm had to undertake a CCTV survey to establish to condition of the existing chimney and to ensure the new liner would pass down the stack without any obstruction.
The existing 24m high brick built chimney is lined throughout with our single wall fully welded product suitable for the application. Our experience team of fitting engineers used a chain block to lower the sections down the stack until reaching the base, completed using a top stub termination cowl and flashing plate.

Area Sales Engineer Jim Keady initially liaised with both the consultant and the contractor at the early design stage to establish the full requirements for this project.
Airtherm then attended site to complete a survey and based upon our findings a full specification and design proposal was issued to the consultant for consideration. Airtherm were specified by Screen & Partners to carry out the works in conjunction with the nominated contractor Kirkland (Blyth) Limited.
The recent completion of the two twin wall flue systems ran smoothly from start to finish with the client commending our installers: “We would definitely be using Airtherm again in the near future”.

During September 2012, Airtherm Engineering Limited completed a flue installation at All Saints Primary School, Maidenhead, ready for the return of pupils from the summer shut-down.
The Masterflue system installed incorporated a draft stabiliser, as recommended within the manufactures operating and maintenance literature for balancing purposes.
Due to the close proximity of a kitchen ventilation intake (AHU) - approx. 5m distance - the flue system couldn't simply terminate above the flat roof as standard. Instead, our solution was to incorporate an offset towards the taller structure with the twin wall flue system fixed and secured to the existing brick stack.

Chimney and flue specialist Airtherm Engineering Limited was appointed, in August 2012, as the preferred flue installer at a new Mansion Studios refurbishment in the City Centre of Nottingham.
Bowman House is
an existing 1970’s, 4-storey office building which has been converted
into 140 one-bed studios for students. The building is now known as
Mansion Studios.
The brief was to design, supply and install two twin wall stainless steel insulated flue systems, each serving high efficiency heatmaster boilers and a chp unit, all located in the basement of the building.
The boiler house was extremely congested and gave our installation team a challenging time, but due to their experience we overcame the obstacle's and completed on-time.
Both systems complying with BS & Clean Air Act Memorandum.

Airtherm Engineering Limited has recently completed a twin wall fire rated flue installation at Capel Manor Primary School in Enfield. The flue system selected was from the ‘Masterflue’ range.
The Remeha Gas 210 Eco Pro boilers used at the school are a compact floor standing condensing boiler. The small footprint and ability to be installed back to back makes them ideally suited for fluing.
The client requested Airtherm to attend site, prepare and return a fully comprehensive tender, in which design calculations were carried out ensuring the system was adequately sized to convey the products combustion to atmosphere. Due to the huge bulk stock levels in this particular ‘MF’ and our capabilities in reacting quickly, our dedicated team of time served engineers accomplished the mission to our client’s delight.
We are delighted with our performance once again and look forward to working with the client again.

Airtherm Engineering Limited has recently completed a flue dilution installation, working closely with the consultant and contractor at Grange Farm Primary School, Coventry.
The flue system selected for the project needed to be aesthetically pleasing, discreet and blend in with the building features, so a dilution system was chosen over a traditional system, which the client was in total agreement.
Airtherm provided design calculations for the project using the latest iCalc sizing package, along with compressive technical submission and Auto Cad drawings for approval prior to manufacture and ordering of the equipment.
The flue system installed comprised of a 300mm diameter fully welded dilution header, flatk Woods bifurcated epoxy coated fan, stainless steel silencers, volume control regulators and supply and discharge louvres, situated 2m from ground level to comply with Clean Air Act Memorandum.

Considerations
Airtherm can offer a fan dilution system to suit many appliances, from modern high efficiency condensing to gas blown and atmospheric boilers, however the principal of diluting the products of combustion is to reduce the CO² content at the discharge to below 1%, CO 50ppm & NOx 5ppm (BS6644 / IGEUP/10) in line with current legislation.
There are many design considerations that must be achieved, for instance, the correct sizing of the fan unit, dilution header, inlet and discharge plenum boxes, the location to adjacent buildings, openable windows, fresh air vent pipes and final discharge height. These can be found from the Clean Air Act memorandum, IGEUP/10 or BS6644, along with other certain provisions with respect to the final discharge height which is calculated based on the total kw input load of the plant.
Good Practice
There are two methods that can be considered when designing the dilution system -
• Air is directly taken from the outside.
• Fresh air is taken from within the plant area.
We offer a design, supply and installation service for flue dilution systems, and can offer a tailored-made package to site conditions and customer requirements.
