Renovation: Associated Architects, Birmingham
State of the art heating technology
with free energy
The new system
The services to match the system
The two AQUATOP T 26 water/water heat pumps are used
for the convector heating in the office of Associated Architects
in the unique office and shopping centre “The Mailbox.”
Martin Atkins, Sales Manager at C A Southers sums it up this
way: “The AQUATOP T heat pumps are ideal for the require-
ments of convector heating. They use the canal water as the
primary source of warmth, their compact size was very good
for the limited space available, where they were installed
without problems.”
Modern heating systems are crammed full of sophisticated
technology and complex electronics. Systems with a “full
service history” are therefore a must, especially in commercial
and public buildings. Failure of the heating can have disastrous
consequences here: loss of production, curtailment of rents,
suing for damages. Schools and hospitals must also be able
to rely on uninterrupted operation. That is why ELCO offers
the matching services for each heating system and each
requirement. From professional commissioning through
regular maintenance to many years’ service and reliability.
Secure your long-term function and cost reliability with an
ELCO maintenance contract.
AQUATOP T stands for a new generation of ELCO heat pumps
that utilise ground water or surface water, or water from geo-
thermal springs as a free source of energy for convenient warmth
for heating. A choice of 7 different compact models ensures
systematic solutions when heat pumps are used. And all the
components, such as expansion vessels, circulation pumps,
safety equipment and electrical inset are already installed. The
operating costs of the AQUATOP T heat pumps are signifi-
cantly lower than those of conventional heating systems.
