What’s in our Mobile Plant Rooms

UK HVAC specialises in the design and build of Mobile Plant Rooms as previous blogs have discussed. While the majority of our Mobile Plant Rooms have wall-hung condensing boilers, some have contained traditional shell and tube units. 

Shell and tube vs condensing boilers

Shell and Tube vs Condensing boilers. The first difference to point out is the clear visual difference. Our wall-hung units are usually smaller modular units. Often in an arrangement of 4-6 separate units whose appearance is very similar to the boilers we may see in people’s homes. They are usually white and are reminiscent of the white goods we have in our kitchens.

Shell and tube boilers (see featured image) are larger units that virtue of their size and configuration, are sited on the floor. They have a larger capacity than one of our single condensing units. They are therefore larger and heavier. This means that just one boiler per trailer if it’s a shell and tube design usually.

For some organisations, it is simply not a choice. They must have condensing boilers due to local legislation. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/emissions-of-air-pollutants/emissions-of-air-pollutants-in-the-uk-nitrogen-oxides-nox

So where the Mobile Plant Room is going plays a part in a customer’s choice. The condensing unit is more efficient than the shell and tube therefore less polluting to the environment. It doesn’t need as much fuel (ie; natural gas) to operate therefore producing lower emissions. 

There are still arguments for the use of shell and tube boilers. One argument could simply be down to cost. Despite the saving in fuel, the customer may find the initial outlay over thier cap ex budget. There is a prevailing belief that shell and tube boilers have a longer lifespan than their condensing cousins. Some of this will take time to prove.

Ultimately, where you are, your budget and your personal preferences will dictate what type of boiler you want in your Mobile Plant Room.

Packaged Plant Room – January 2023 build

UK HVAC has begun the new year building new plug-and-play Packaged Plant Room solutions, sometimes called pre-fabricated plants. The current batch is Trailer Boilers (see images showing the beginning of the build). These units are being built for our fleet of trailer boilers and we will be making Packaged Plant Rooms both static and trailerised for sale to our clients throughout the year. 2022 was a busy year for our engineers with our Packaged Plant Room builds. We anticipate a similar if not more active year in 2023. Demand for mobile Packaged Plant Rooms seems to be increasing so we are therefore preparing to meet this demand. 

UK HVAC anticipates building our versatile Packaged Plant Room solutions using wall-hung modular and traditional shell and tube boilers this year. Some of the Packaged Plant Room options will provide heating only, some will provide heating and hot water. Larger units, especially Steam Boilers will be housed in 20-foot shipping containers. All have easy access to maintenance. Some customers ask to us install full BMS systems in our units. There is a limit to what can be housed in a Trailer Boiler so a shipping container can provide an excellent solution for a Packaged Plant Room. These Packaged Plant Rooms will be utilised for both commercial and industrial purposes. 

If you need to relocate essential services and maximise services, reduce your building’s energy demands or have limited plant room space, we may be able to help.

Why FBR Burners?

The beginning

FBR Burners, of Verona Italy, has been operating since 1969, designing high-tech burners for industrial applications. However, when they were established they were a small company that also specialised in burners for domestic use. It was 1975 when FBR implemented its own Research and Development facility.

80’s and 90’s

1986 was another key milestone for FBR as this is when they established key international markets for their products. This led to an increase in the size and scope of the business. Another leap was made around 1994. As ever FBR had been collaborating with its industrial partners, and this led to the opening of new technological production plants.

The 2000’s

FBR cite 2000 as another key growth milestone as the acquisition of additional sites supported both their production output and capacity for storage. Present-day FBR is at the forefront of cutting-edge burner technology, reliability, and a very high level of quality service. To see which burner may suit your application –Burner Selection Guide
