BB Series

In commercial facilities where consistent hot water is essential, the BB Series stands as an advanced, reliable solution. Designed to handle fluctuating hot water demands, this semi-instantaneous hot water unit incorporates a brazed plate heat exchanger and a stainless steel buffer vessel, providing a highly efficient way to supply hot water precisely when and where it’s needed. From hotels to sports facilities, the BB Series offers reliable hot water that’s both energy-efficient and easy to maintain.

What Makes the BB Series Unique?

The BB Series is tailored for applications with intermittent high hot water demand. Unlike conventional hot water systems that may struggle during peak usage, the BB Series combines a robust buffer system and a compact heat exchanger. This configuration ensures rapid recovery times, consistent water temperatures, and peace of mind during high-demand periods.

Key Features of the BB Series

The BB Series is engineered to meet the needs of commercial facilities through a range of high-performance features:

  • Primary Supply Calculations Based on 80°C: This high supply temperature maximises the efficiency of the heat exchanger.
  • Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger: Compact yet powerful, ensuring rapid water heating without taking up significant space.
  • Stainless Steel Buffer Vessel: Available in sizes from 300 to 1000 litres, providing ample capacity for peak demands.
  • Output Range: Delivers outputs from 56kW to 231kW, accommodating a variety of facility sizes.
  • Continuous Output: Supplies hot water between 1044 and 3960 litres per hour.
  • Compact Design: Space-saving design is ideal for installations with limited room.

These features make the BB Series a versatile and adaptable solution for commercial settings.

Efficiency and Capacity

With outputs ranging from 56kW to 231kW and continuous flow rates from 1044 to 3960 litres per hour, the BB Series can handle the hot water demands of both small and large facilities. Its recovery times range from 6 to 57 minutes, ensuring rapid availability even after extensive use. This efficiency helps facilities avoid downtime and guarantees hot water during peak hours.

Built for Busy Commercial Facilities

In hotels, sports facilities, and similar environments, hot water demand can vary dramatically throughout the day. During peak times, demand may spike, while for much of the day, the demand is relatively low. The BB Series is designed to manage these fluctuations smoothly, providing hot water as required without excessive energy waste.

The buffer vessel in the BB Series also provides an extra level of readiness for high-demand periods, ensuring that hot water is always on hand, even during short bursts of usage.

Control and Customisation Options

The BB Series offers several control options to allow customisation according to specific facility needs. This includes:

  • Unique Control Panel: The intuitive panel indicates hot water demand, helping users monitor the system’s performance and identify any issues at a glance.
  • Temperature Control: Easily adjustable to suit different temperature needs.
  • Optional Spare Brazed Plate: Available for facilities requiring redundancy or easy maintenance.

These controls make it simple to operate and adapt the system based on daily and seasonal requirements.

The Role of the Stainless Steel Buffer Vessel

The stainless steel buffer vessel is an integral part of the BB Series, helping to maintain hot water availability without excessive heat loss. This vessel, available in capacities up to 1000 litres, is constructed from high-quality stainless steel for durability. It’s also encased in thick, rigid, mould-injected insulation, which significantly reduces heat loss, ensuring the vessel retains warmth and minimises energy costs.

Compact and Easy to Install

With a small footprint and modular design, the BB Series is ideal for facilities where space is limited. The brazed plate heat exchanger and buffer vessel are shipped separately to streamline transportation and can be assembled in minutes, saving time and reducing installation costs.

The compact design is particularly advantageous in busy facilities like hotels, where floor space is at a premium and multiple systems need to coexist efficiently.

Why the BB Series Stands Out from Traditional Calorifiers

Unlike traditional calorifiers, which have slower recovery times and can quickly be depleted during high demand, the BB Series combines an efficient buffer and high-performance heat exchanger. This configuration ensures a continuous supply of hot water while providing peak supply tailored to the specific needs of each project.

In addition, the stainless steel construction and robust insulation mean the BB Series resists scaling and other common issues associated with traditional systems, ensuring longer service life and reduced maintenance needs.

Conclusion: A Reliable Hot Water Solution

The BB Series is a top-tier choice for commercial facilities that require a robust, efficient hot water system. Designed to handle fluctuations in demand, it combines a high-performance heat exchanger, reliable buffer vessel, and advanced control options to deliver a reliable hot water supply on demand.

For industries that face challenges with peak usage times, such as hospitality, leisure, and healthcare, the BB Series provides peace of mind, high energy efficiency, and an extended product lifespan.

Whether you’re upgrading your current system or installing new, the BB Series is a forward-thinking, sustainable investment in your facility’s infrastructure, ensuring that your hot water demands are met efficiently and reliably.
