A London hotel has recently upgraded its hot water generation plant using the Q-ton air-to-water heat pump system from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air Conditioning Europe.
The Citadines Holborn-Covent Garden London originally had gas-fired boilers, which provided potable hot water to the apart’hotel’s 192 apartments and communal breakfast area. Citadines required a replacement that could provide water at high temperatures, while ensuring minimal environmental impact.
The project at the hotel, which is part of The Ascott Limited portfolio, is part of CapitaLand’s 2030 Sustainability Master Plan. Under this Plan, a phased installation will also see the Q-ton system deployed at four other Citadines sites across the capital.
In addition, the hotel is equipped with a Q-ton Remote Monitoring System (QRMS), a tool that monitors Q-ton’s operation, provides the team with a quarterly report comparing energy usage and efficiencies against gas and electric equivalents, and self-analyses to highlight any potential operation or maintenance requirements.
Ryan Jules, regional maintenance manager at The Ascott Limited UK, says: “This is a significant investment towards meeting CapitaLand’s Sustainability Master Plan target of a 78% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.”
