Commercial & Industrial HVAC Hire
A Government facility in Hampshire required a temporary domestic hot water solution to keep its catering block fully operational. The site is managed by a national HVAC contractor, who regularly partners with Ideal Heat Solutions for cooling hire during the summer months.
On this occasion, the requirement was for temporary boiler hire to maintain uninterrupted domestic hot water supply, ensuring catering services could continue without disruption.
Ideal Heat Solutions was appointed to design and install a reliable temporary boiler solution that would integrate seamlessly with the existing system.
We delivered a tailored domestic hot water system designed specifically for the site’s operational requirements.
Our engineers assessed:
Existing flow & return connections
Mains cold water feed integration
Gas supply requirements
Access & positioning for external plant installation
Domestic hot water demand for continuous catering use
This ensured the correct boiler capacity & ancillary equipment were selected for stable, compliant operation.
We delivered and installed:
1 x 500kW Gas Fired Boiler
1 x 500kW Domestic Hot Water Plate Heat Exchanger
60m of 2” steel braided domestic hot water hose
15m of 2” steel braided gas hose
25m 3-phase 32A extension lead
All equipment was configured for safe, efficient integration into the existing system.
The 500kW gas boiler was positioned externally and connected via:
2” BSP fittings to the existing flow & return
Mains cold water feed
Dedicated gas supply
Plate heat exchanger for safe system separation
All connections were pressure tested, commissioned and verified to ensure consistent domestic hot water output.
The temporary plant now delivers stable domestic hot water across the facility’s catering operations, maintaining full functionality while longer-term arrangements are managed.
All equipment was selected to ensure reliability, compliance & operational stability:
500kW Plate Heat Exchanger – Safe separation for domestic hot water production
Steel braided hoses – Durable, flexible & secure connections
3-phase power supply integration
