“Whether you just want to wash your hands or run several showers simultaneously, Danfoss’ HIUs keep pace with the requirements.”
DANFOSS PROVIDES SUPPORT TO DEVELOPERS, CONSULTANTS, CONTRACTORS AND END-USERS ALIKE... HEAT INTERFACE UNITS
D anfoss manufactured and supplied Heat Interface Units (HIUs) for all the apartments in Fairway Hall and Fairway Court for Cosgrave Developments. Each HIU unit was designed and hand built by Danfoss in Denmark, a country world renowned for excellence in energy efficient products and services. The apartments’ entire heating and domestic hot water requirements are catered for in the HIU with energy consumption monitored to allow each customer to pay for the heat they use in a fair and equitable way. With a district heating system, as installed in Fairways, there is no need to install gas pipes to each apartment. This removes the risks of dangerous gas leaks and/or explosions. In addition, because there is no combustion taking place in the apartment there is no risk of associated carbon monoxide poisoning.
Hot water is heated only when it’s needed, and it heats instantly. Bill
Carbery, Business Development Manager at Danfoss explains, “Whether you just want to wash your hands or run several showers simultaneously, Danfoss HIU’s keep pace with the requirements. Instant DHWmeans never running out of hot water and of course there is no storage cylinder meaning stored hot water never goes to waste and valuable storage space in the apartment is freed up.” Danfoss also supplied TPOne programmable Room Thermostats to each apartment allowing easy control of the apartments heating schedule with user friendly over rides for when you come home early or stay up late. “All this comfortable living is provided at reduced running costs, both to the pocket, and the environment, says Bill. “Ongoing servicing costs are also reduced as there
are no gas certifications required and any repairs can be quickly and easily effected.” Beyond the apartments there are lots of unseen Danfoss control valves, energy meters and automatic isolation valves, all helping to create the conditions for maximum efficiency of the basement power plant. Danfoss has a long association with Cosgrave’s Cualanor development in Dún Laoghaire. Bill says, “We are honoured to be retained as the preferred HIU manufacturer for more than 10 years on this development of over 1,400 homes.”
