Modutherm has supplied its MTA heat interface units to the Linen Quarter development in Dunfermline, Fife, providing efficient heating and domestic hot water to 112 two- and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a single commercial unit.
The installation is part of the regeneration of Dunfermline’s last remaining Grade A-listed linen works, creating a mixed-use neighbourhood.
The new apartment block has been connected to Dunfermline’s District Heating System, which supplies heat from a central source generated at the Dunfermline Recycling Centre. The system facilitates the use of low carbon renewable energy sources to benefit the environment and significantly reduce residents’ carbon footprint.
Commenting on the specification of the units, Allan McKenna, Director at AMK Mechanical Services Limited, said: “From the start of the project, we’ve been really impressed with the MTA unit, as well as the technical input and advice provided by Modutherm. We spent a lot of time with their area sales manager, ensuring the architect, client and consulting engineer were all happy with the product, and the feedback was positive all round.
“The unit is also really compact, which makes it really flexible from both a design and installation perspective, plus the DHW performance is phenomenal.”
The MTA HIU is available in four models: indirect heating and DHW (twin plate), heating only, DHW only, and direct heating and DHW. For simple installation, all models benefit from ultra-compact dimensions, top and bottom connections, integral fill device and integral isolation and drain valves. All units are supplied with a five-year warranty as standard.
