Aquatherm boilers are equipped with the most accurate and sensitive control systems available A good temperature control system proportions the number of elements to suit the heat demand of the system. One of the most important features of an electric boiler is the way the elements are controlled. These boilers are suitable for commercial and industrial applications and are available in sizes from 15 kW to 1000 kW. The AQUATHERM Electric range of hot water boilers use electric resistance type elements and are locally manufactured using modular pentapost constructed cabinets. The AY boiler is suitable for schools, hospitals or high-rise office buildings.Īvailable for firing on Oil, LPG or Natural Gas in sizes from 100 kW to 3000 kW of boiler output, these are locally manufactured with the benefit of short delivery times New Zealand and Australia wide. The AQUATHERM/YGNIS model AY hot water boiler is our most commonly supplied boiler to the commercial and institutional market. see this Product Catalogue and the difference between direct fossil fuel fired and electric hot water boilers :. Oh, that’s right, nuclear’s verboten in God’s Own. In other words, let’s hope they choose a properly reliable source of base-load power generation like gas, oil, coal or nuclear. When they’re filling out their survey, let’s hope those insiders aren’t persuaded that avoiding about 1 ☌ of warming is better than the multifarious benefits brought to us by public power reticulation. Industry insiders wouldn’t have been confused but this clears things up for the rest of us.
One new mainframe gas-fired generator (assume gas availability).What should replace it? Taking an NZ Inc view and thinking about transmission capacity, dry-year risk, fuel diversity, smart grids and fuel availability what do you think Huntly should be replaced with as it’s phased out? With the impending retirement of the Huntly coal-fired units (1000MW) this raises some questions around generation fuel mix. It’s covered in the first survey question:ġ. So the unadorned “Huntly retirement” becomes “replacement of Huntly coal generation” – not the whole plant, just the coal-fired parts of it! Big difference. Key topics covered in the inaugural survey include the options to replace Genesis Energy’s coal-fired Huntly units The first clue was in the description of the survey: Some folk saw “Huntly retirement” and took it to mean the station was about to be closed.
The headline promised to test the market on “renewables, smart grid, Huntly retirement, Brownlee reforms”. Energy News has announced an inaugural survey of the electricity industry.
