The latest modular commercial boiler systems from Vokèra by Riello are providing a flexible, space-saving solution for a restaurant chain in Glasgow. Local heating specialists, ACR Contractors, installed a Riello Steel Pro Power modular floor standing gas condensing system to replace an existing Vokèra appliance that had come to the end of its life.
ACR looked to Vokèra for a high efficiency replacement that could also overcome the project’s siting challenge. As well as matching the busy restaurant’s heating and hot water demands, the new boiler had to be installed on the flat roof of the multi-storey building, as no internal plant room space was available.
The standalone 230kW Steel Pro Power was supplied with auxiliary accessories for outdoor installation. This modular floor standing gas condensing system was conceived and developed by Riello with the aim of maximising flexibility and simplicity of installation. The system is capable of achieving high energy efficiency values, whilst minimising the space occupied, and the design is based on the principles of modularity to facilitate ease of installation and handling operations.
Ready for simple and quick installation, the Steel Pro Power consists of pre-built technical cabinets comprising an assembled frame in anodised aluminium and painted panels. On the Glasgow project, ACR was able to partially dismantle the cabinets into smaller sections that could be carried up stairwells and onto the roof without the need for a crane – saving this additional cost and minimising disruption for the restaurant. Once in position, reassembling the cabinets was quick and easy, and the installation was completed by a two-man team in around three days.
