H C Slingsby plc, the UK’s largest supplier of essential workplace products, has opted for a Reznor V3 energy efficient heating solution for its newly-refurbished warehouse, production and distribution centre in Shipley, West Yorkshire.
The fact that Reznor equipment is listed on the Government’s Energy Technology List, making it potentially eligible for 100% first year tax relief on the capital and installation costs under the Enhanced Capital Allowances scheme, was also part of Slingsby’s decision-making process.
The company moved into its 6,500m² warehouse and production facility in October 2005, before the heating system, specified, designed and installed by Ellison Energy Services of Shipley, was installed. With extensive floor-to-ceiling racking fitted in four of the five warehouse bays, a total of 17 ECA-approved Reznor V3 heaters were then positioned at high level between the racks.
The high performance gas-fired units deliver controlled-temperature warm air down and between the racking, providing optimum comfort for operatives without impeding the manoeuvrability of fork-lift trucks and pickers.
To enhance the heaters’ fuel efficiency, ceiling mounted Maximizor de-stratification fans re-circulate risen warm air back down to floor level.
The heaters and de-stratification fans are programmed to work together to minimise fuel consumption. The whole system is controlled by a fully-programmable heating management system, managed remotely from a PC terminal.
Graham Maloney, (job title) of Slingsby, comments: “We were familiar with Reznor energy efficient heating because we had it in our previous premises. We wanted a highly energy efficient scheme for our new building to ensure fuel costs could be controlled. ECAs also formed part of our thinking in the choice of system.”
