Five Stars For The New Heating System At The Forest Of Arden Marriott Hotel

Situation

Leading global lodging company Marriott International selected Strebel to provide a reliable and more efficient heating and hot water solution for the Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel & Country Club located in the West Midlands. EOGB were selected to supply the commercial burners for the installation.

The heating system is required to provide heat and hot water for the 3-floor, 214-room luxury hotel and full-service hotel spa.

Solution

The new heating solution involved the installation of three Strebel RU2S-10 698kw sectional boilers, each powered by Baltur TBG gas burners producing a total output capability of 2.1MW.

Benefits

By replacing the existing boilers with boilers powered by EOGB/Baltur burners, the hotel now benefits from increased efficiency and lower CO2 and NOx emissions. Additionally, the units provide superior reliability and reduced fuel consumption.

Martin Cooke, Technical Manager at EOGB, said: “The burner-boiler match in this heating system is extremely effective. The technologically advanced Baltur TBG range of burners are all class three

low NOx as standard, and coupled with the well- established RU range of Strebel boilers, provides optimum combustion and performance which means that heating can be controlled more economically.”

Mike Fodor, Director of Engineering at the Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel & Country Club, added: “As well as improving overall performance, the new installation will be beneficial in reducing  our energy consumption, which supports our group wide sustainability goals.”

Technical

The EOGB/Baltur fully modulating gas burner range is available with outputs from 50kW to 45MW. The burners have low CO and NOx emissions and are easy to install which enables a trouble-free commissioning which is fully supported by EOGB engineers.
