Ideal Rigs are delivered to site pre-assembled and incorporate up to five units within a floor standing frame and up to 20 boilers operating in sequence across multiple frames. A dual boiler wall-hung rig is also available. The units are pre-piped to a single balance header.
Our compact and versatile boilers are the perfect solution for a modular system, offering the designer complete freedom of choice. A boiler sequencer is included with integral weather compensating controls to ensure optimum use of plant to meet demand and rotation of lead unit.
The balance header includes tappings for air vent, fill point/expansion vessel, drain off and system flow and return. The number and size of system tappings is as per the customer's own specification.
In today's complex design approach it's common to have systems which require a number of different flow temperatures such as underfloor heating, weather compensation, DHW via indirect cylinder, air handling units, etc. The Ideal plant Rig approach can solve this problem by incorporating diverter valves to selected boiler(s).
In this way, the selected boilers can be seconded from serving the main system flow to serve another requirement at another flow temperature. Once this requirement is satisfied the selected boilers are diverted back to join the other boilers serving the system at the main flow temperature.
Whilst the boilers are seconded away, the Rig controller automatically increases the power demand from the remaining boilers to compensate. This can be repeated with other boilers at other temperatures to meet user requirements.
