Hot water and heating across more than 50 sites
MD Boilers / Packaged Plant Room / A.O. Smith BFC water heaters & UB boilers


London Fire Brigade is one of the largest firefighting and rescue organisations in the world, it is also the busiest of all the fire services in the United Kingdom. Since its formal existence began in 1866, its work has grown exponentially, receiving more than 170,000 emergency calls each year, approximately 20,000 of which relate to fires across the Greater London region.



In addition to the role of firefighting, the Brigade provides home fire safety visits and responds to a range of emergency scenarios from flooding, road traffic accidents and major incidents, and animal rescues. It is also a statutory consultee as part of the building regulations process for fire safety design.



Requiring a bespoke approach to each and every site, Adveco works closely with London Fire Brigade



To support these and many other activities, the Brigade employs more than 5,000 operational firefighters based out of more than 100 stations. Those stations range from new, modern, purpose-built sites to listed buildings constructed more than a century ago. Despite the variety of buildings all have an operational need for 24/7 hot water and heating to support the shift-based crews. London Fire Brigade, therefore, needs access to a range of products and services to support varied legacy systems as well as new projects throughout Greater London.



Requiring a bespoke approach to each and every site, Adveco works closely with London Fire Brigade, providing initial site review and system design, which can incorporate A.O. Smith water heaters, or appliances from its own range of boilers for heating. Projects in the past five years have seen new installations completed in more than 50 stations and the work continues today.



Adveco is very proud to be able to continue to support the capital’s firefighters by helping to create comfortable, efficient, functional, safe and sustainable stations through the design, supply, commissioning and service of business-critical hot water and heating.

High efficiency BFC120 water heaters and SST Twin Coil Calorifiers for DHW


The Bromsgrove Sport and Leisure Centre, operated by Everyone Active, is a £10.3m facility situated in the heart of Bromsgrove that offers some of the finest sports and leisure facilities in the area. The state-of-the-art building opened in late 2017 and features a six-lane, 25 metre main swimming pool as well as a 15 by 10 metre second pool with an innovative moving floor allowing for an adjustable depth.



The facility also includes a sports hall and climbing wall in addition to a 100-station gym, a fully featured spa, and a café, thereby providing a range of services not otherwise available to the local community.



As part of a wider local redevelopment project by Bromsgrove District Council, the new sports and leisure centre was built as a replacement to an adjacent facility dating from the 1970’s.  As a new build project, the building was designed to meet strict building and environmental standards.  With two swimming pools and the accompanying level of year-round heat demand, the leisure centre demanded a high-performance heating system which was designed and installed by Yorkshire Building Services Ltd (YBS).



A bespoke application to meet the building’s high demand for heating and hot water



Adveco Ltd. was contracted to supply two A.O. Smith BFC120 condensing water heaters and SST stainless steel calorifiers to serve the domestic hot water (DHW) supply and a bespoke 3000 litre MSS buffer vessel, with controls and ancillaries to serve the leisure centre’s heating system.



The combined 240kW BFC Cyclones from A.O. Smith are fully room-sealed condensing high-efficiency water heaters (97% gross). Flexible flue options allow them to be placed almost anywhere, providing numerous options for designers working on new building projects like Bromsgrove Leisure Centre. This water heater is fitted with an automatic gas/air premix burning system including burner modulation for improved efficiency. The water heaters feed to an Adveco Stainless Steel Twin-Coil (SST) calorifiers, each of which is supplied with a pair of independent internal heat exchange coils to serve the centre’s DHW system. Each high-output coil can be used with a separate heat source, enabling effective integration of renewable technologies or multiple heat sources, or as in this case are combined to increase the heat transfer capacity from a single high-output source.



Warm preheat water is also fed into the custom-built 3000 litre MSS buffer vessel, this carbon steel primary system vessels has been carefully designed to fit any heating application that requires an inertia tank or energy storage vessel. With multiple level tappings the MSS can be configured to be compatible with almost any heating application, supporting multiple return flow temperatures or multiple heat sources, such as renewables or low or high-grade heaters. Warm stored water was drawn from the top half to be further heated by the boiler system arrangement. This energy store then supplies heat to the building and swimming pools.



This bespoke application meets the building’s high demand for heating and hot water, while delivering a high level of energy efficiency. The added range of options to introduce new, sustainable technologies means in the future the building can drive further system efficiencies beyond the levels achievable by conventional heating appliances.

Adveco MSS 2500-litre buffer vessel 0
A.O. Smith Upsilon 110 boilers, IT500 indirect calorifiers


Estimated annual savings of £7,500



As part of a complete heating and hot water system designed by Nicholas Villareal of McCarthy Bainbridge Ltd., Adveco has supplied a range of reliable, cost-effective appliances to meet the year-round demands for the Alexandra House care home in Parkstone, Poole, Dorset,



The new Alexandra House, operated by Care South, is a 2-storey, 58-room residential care and nursing home designed to offer high standards of communal accommodation for the elderly, including dementia and nursing care.  The new building, situated on the site of the previous Alexandra House, uses traditional building materials to minimise its environmental impact and incorporates special features such as themed lounges and a secure, sensory garden.



A well designed and reliable heating and hot water system



A well designed and crucially, reliable heating and hot water system is paramount to care homes, where the comfort and wellbeing of residents often requires above average levels of heating year-round.  Care homes, like all residential applications, typically exhibit a significant, but varied, hot water and heating usage pattern. In the case of Alexandra House, the most effective design was that of a boiler return preheat system.



Installed by Holton Plumbing Services Ltd., the system incorporates a custom-built Adveco MSS 2500-litre buffer vessel, as well as a cascade of two AO Smith Upsilon 110 boilers and two AO Smith IT500 indirect calorifiers. Supplied as a complete package, alongside ancillaries and backup heating components via electric immersion elements, Adveco has provided Alexandra House with a complete, bespoke heating and hot water system featuring some of the highest quality products on the UK market.



The bespoke MSS 2500-litre buffer is a carbon steel primary system vessel, carefully designed to fit any heating application that requires an inertia tank or energy storage vessel. With multiple level tappings, the MSS can be configured to be compatible with almost any heating application, supporting multiple return flow temperatures or multiple heat sources, such as renewables or low or high-grade heaters. Designed to accept preheated water, the MSS 2500 is in turn connected to the Upsilon 110 boilers and central heating system.



Easy to install, the AO Smith Upsilon UB 110 are highly efficient (up to 110.3%), very low gas usage boilers with very low emissions (Nox class 5). Fitted with an intelligent control system, the boilers’ performance is optimised through a process of infinite modulation. The UB110 are also an optimal choice for the care home setting, with built-in redundancy ensuring system operation and continuity of service.



Through the use of duplex IT500 indirect calorifiers, the system additionally provides domestic hot water. The 500 litre IT is an indirect water heater fitted with a single heat exchanger. The tank has a second-generation glass coating to prevent corrosion, replaceable magnesium anode and insulated clean out door and removable control column for comprehensive waterside maintenance and convenient servicing. Adveco also provisioned an electric immersion heater to provide a separate heat source for further system redundancy.



With a correctly sized thermal store in place Alexandra House has the option to further integrate renewables to provide the preheat, at which point the boilers need only be used to top-up the temperature or cover periods of off-peak demand while the thermal store is recharging.

Learning a Valuable Lesson When Securing New Heating



Creating a modern, efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable hot water & heating system is not just advantageous, it is increasingly becoming a demand as the United Kingdom transitions towards a more environmentally friendly Net Zero nation by 2050. This process of modernisation can be especially challenging for school sites.



Adveco has designed and built a full prefabricated plant room at a school in Berkshire, providing the new school building with a modern hot water and heating system situated inside a self-contained rooftop plant room. Adveco’s packaged plant rooms are the easiest way to achieve the maximum potential within the limited space schools have available whilst also keeping costs and time of projects reduced with off-site construction.



Adveco’s Packaged Plant Rooms are the easiest way to achieve the maximum potential within the limited space schools have available.



Designed to address the heating and domestic hot water (DHW) demands of the building, the prefabricated GRP enclosure incorporates a complete, integrated system built around a cascade of seven A.O. Smith Upsilon UB 110 and UB140 condensing boilers. Installed in a side-by-side configuration on a supporting framework, the UB boilers are highly efficient (up to 110.3%), very low gas usage boilers with very low emissions (NOx class 5). Fitted with an intelligent control system, the boilers’ performance is optimised through a process of infinite modulation. The UB boiler was also an optimal choice for the school, with built-in redundancy ensuring system operation and continuity of service.



The plant room primary system also incorporates a bespoke Adveco MSS 2000 carbon steel buffer vessel. Carefully designed to fit any heating application that requires an inertia tank or energy storage vessel, this 2000-litre vessel provides multiple level tappings enabling compatibility with almost any heating application. Supporting multiple return flow temperatures or multiple heat sources, the MSS is perfect for integrating low or high-grade heaters, including renewables, to supply preheat and drive further sustainability from the system. With heating coils rated to 9 bar working pressure, the MSS is suitable for use with glycol fluids for solar thermal or heat pump installations. Designed to accept preheated water, the MSS 2000 connects to the Upsilon 110 cascade and the buildings heating system.



In this case, the demands for heating and hot water for an increasing number of pupils, combined with the limitations of incorporating large scale plant room space within the new building was a key issue. Typically, schools also face limitations in terms of when work can be carried out on site. If a works window is especially narrow it can preclude larger scale project work. Adveco supplied within the weatherproof enclosure the integrated cascade and thermal storage, alongside an expansion vessel, dosing pot, pipework, insulation, flueing and all controls ready to be craned into position. Final electrical and plumbing connections took a matter of days.



Working with Adveco helped the school achieve timely project delivery through proper co-ordination of application design, securing of equipment and controls and post-installation commissioning works. By relocating essential building services into this rooftop packaged plant room, not only were demands able to be met, but valuable internal areas could now be released within the school’s new building.
