Oventrop valves in control at north Somerset's pathfinder school
Published:  21 October, 2009

An extensive range of Oventrop valves will assist the new £30 million Nailsea School, with its plan to be carbon efficient using among other devices, solar panels and rainwater harvesters. The development of the services for the school has been influenced by a Sustainable Building Services Strategy and it is aiming to achieve a BREEAM assessment of ‘Very Good'.

Heating for the school employs Oventrop valves to control and balance radiator and radiant panel systems with 200 AV6/Combi 4 TRV/lockshield combinations. Some of these have 5 metre remote capillary thermostats. Additionally, there are trench heating and underfloor heating systems in some areas. To facilitate hydronic balancing and to limit noise generation, Oventrop differential pressure regulating valves are used throughout.

Oventrop Brawamix thermostatic mixing valves have been used on the domestic hot water systems, heat for which is collected by the solar panels. To simplify commissioning and provide significant energy savings by thermostatically controlling temperature and flow in the DHW system Oventrop's Aquastrom T Plus multi-functional secondary circulation regulating valves have been installed in the return pipework.
