PSA collaborated closely with Barden Energy to design a localised district heat network for Armathwaite Hall. By conducting a comprehensive survey and reimagining existing heating infrastructure, our team developed a tailored solution that provided a biomass boiler with localised control capabilities.
CLIENT: Armathwaite Hall
LOCATION: Keswick, Cumbria
SERVICES: Feasibility Report & Mechanical Design
CLIENT OBJECTIVES
Armathwaite Hall had a clear objective to modernise its heating infrastructure utilising biomass technology. The primary objectives centred on finding a practical approach to offset traditional gas and electrical energy consumption through a more efficient, controlled heating network.
The client required a comprehensive assessment that would thoroughly evaluate existing heating systems and help to understand the opportunities available from switching to a biomass solution.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Working alongside Barden Energy, PSA’s engineering team developed a comprehensive approach to redesigning Armathwaite Hall’s heating infrastructure. We conducted an extensive survey of existing heating appliances, which informed our strategic design for a localised district heat network.
Design elements included:
- Detailed mapping of existing heating infrastructure
- Heat interface units
- Standalone localised control systems
- Network design to minimise energy transmission losses
- Modular design allowing future scalability
Our solution focused on integrating the biomass boiler into the existing systems that could be precisely controlled and easily maintained.
THE OUTCOME
By creating a localised, efficiently designed district heating system using a biomass solution, we enabled the client to upgrade it’s current heating system to something sustainable and efficient.
