Warwick Castle warms with Potterton Baxi boilers 24 December 2012

Warwick Castle's Great Hall is warming to the presence of three new Potterton cast iron boilers, from Baxi Commercial Division, which have now replaced 30-year old boilers from the same firm.

Installer Batchelor & Hodges selected NXR3 high efficiency natural gas-fired boilers, each with an output of 170kW.

Part of the reason for their selection, according to a spokesperson, was that each comes in six sections, so overcoming access and installation issues.

The NXR3 also has a cleverly designed heat exchanger that incorporates multiple flue-ways and fins to increase the surface area, which the company says ensures environmentally sound combustion – so minimising CO2 and NOx emissions.

The boilers are now serving the existing, vintage cast-iron radiator system, as well as convectors, and have been connected to the castle's BMS (building management system), which has also been upgraded to facilitate control and monitoring.
