McDonald Engineers Introduce the Renewable Ready Range of Hot Water Systems

Renewable Range of Hot Water Cylinders

McDonald Engineers is enabling architects and consultants to reach their energy targets with the launch of their dedicated range of hot water systems that are designed to be used in conjunction with renewable energy sources such as solar energy and heat pump technology.

The Renewable Range features its POWERflow2000 system, the THERMflow range, the ELECTRAflow electric wet central heating system, the TIMEsaver plumbing unit, its full range of Calorifiers and of course its original Solar Save system which was the first in the range to be designed with high specification coils and probe pockets to maximise the benefit of solar energy.

The company, which has been at the forefront of hot water systems since 1945, has been developing cylinders designed for solar energy since the early 70s and has established itself as one of the most respected manufacturers in the industry.

Managing Director, Bill Stewart, said, “It is vital that we all play our part in reducing the energy we are using and we are delighted to launch this exciting range of products that we hope will enable designers, specifiers and contractors to achieve their energy saving obligations.”

A key element in the design of the range is the recognition that, in many instances, solar energy is unable to act as the single source and provide the level of power required to heat every application.

McDonald Engineers have therefore developed a multi-fuel system, such as in their THERMflow range, which can work with a number of energy sources and in doing so, reduce the ongoing running costs.

Bill continued, “By designing a system that can work with a multiple of fuels we can attempt to draw the energy from every available source thereby delivering the most cost effective hot water solution.”

The company is also available to incorporate a number of high efficiency coils into its POWERflow 2000 range to improve the effectiveness of solar, heat pumps and boilers in delivering the required levels of energy.

THERMflow Hailed As UK’s Most Flexible Hot Water Cylinder

McDonald Engineers’ THERMflow vented mains pressure system has been hailed as the UK’s most flexible hot water cylinder on the market today due to its unrivalled ability to integrate with multi fuel installations including electric, gas, oil, solar and solid fuels.

The rising cost of gas and electricity together with the global movement towards more sustainable energy sources is seeing a growing demand for flexible hot water systems, such as THERMflow, that can enable the core energy sources to be supplemented with more sustainable fuels, such as solar and wind, as well as solid fuel sources.

Manufactured using McDonald Engineers advanced copper manufacturing system, the THERMflow system delivers all the bacteria killing properties and reduced running costs associated with copper and is available in a wide range of sizes.

And demonstrating McDonald Engineers’ position as one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of copper cylinders, the THERMflow product can be custom designed to almost any height, a wide range of diameters and with any number or bespoke positioning of connections to facilitate those unusual or awkward areas.

McDonald Engineers’ Managing Director, Bill Stewart, explained “We are receiving a growing number of enquiries from architects, consultants and end-clients across the UK who are now looking at integrating alternative fuel sources to supplement gas and electric which is offered as standard on our THERMflow system.”

He continued, “However the THERMflow system continues to be one of the UK’s most popular vented mains pressure system with its integrated primary feed and expansion tank, zero maintenance requirement and superior energy efficiencies.”

ELECTRAflow’s 100% heating efficiency combined with its low installation costs has made it the perfect choice for housing associations and contractors looking at developing or refurbishing new houses, flatted developments and properties in rural areas with no natural gas supply.

 

 

Manufactured by leading copper cylinder specialist, McDonald Engineers, The ELECTRAflow system’s integrated electric boiler and copper storage cylinder is both cheaper to install than a heat pump, requires no annual boiler maintenance and is more efficient than other forms of heating such as night storage, oil and LPG providing significant cost savings throughout its lifetime.

The compact system also requires no flue making it easy to situate and ideal for listed buildings and high rise flats.

Available in vented and unvented systems, ELECTRAflow can also be integrated with additional fuel types including solar panels, solid fuels and can used to power underfloor heating as well as standard radiators.

McDonald Engineers, Managing Director, Bill Stewart, commented, “The days of electric heating solutions being prohibitively expensive to run are over with the robust, intelligent and highly cost effective solution offered by ELECTRAflow particularly when combined with solar energy and economy tariffs from the utility companies.”
