Andrews Water Heaters SOLARflo systems reduce carbon footprint at the Ark Academy
Published:  03 October, 2011

Andrews Water Heaters has supplied solar water heating systems and direct fired storage water heaters for the new Ark Academy in Wembley. The planning requirements dictated that a percentage of renewable energy was to be utilised to reduce the school’s carbon footprint.

The equipment comprises two separate SOLARflo systems with a total of 150m2 of glazed flat plate collectors and five MAXXflo gas-fired storage water heaters which won the Queen’s Award for Innovation for their energy saving capabilities.

The solar collectors are installed on the flat roof of the primary school where 100m2 serves the building housing both schools. The sports building is served by 50m2 of collectors installed on the pitched roof. In the school building, the SOLARflo cylinder and ancillary plant together with two MAXXflo water heaters serve classrooms, laboratories, kitchen, food tech room, toilet areas and tea points. Equipment in the sports building includes three MAXXflo water heaters serving showers and toilet areas.
