AquaTec Heat Interface Unit Johnson & Starley Heating Interface Units Energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions are key factors when designing renovation schemes or new build development projects. As we know, the world wide Kyoto agreement which the UK government signed up to, has placed mandatory, strict demands on reducing greenhouse emissions going forward. Decentralised heating systems via Heating Interface Units, are an effective way of achieving this and offers many benefits to both the investor and the occupants. The HIU is a non fuel burning appliance and therefore does not produce...

AquaTec Heat Interface Unit Stored hot water with indirect heating is used in systems where separation is required between the primary and secondary circuit. Stored hot water or instantaneous systems both have their advantages, however, the stored solution also reduces the need for higher boiler power and also reduces the size of the distribution network and pumps. The Johnson & Starley HIU can be used with almost any hot water cylinder or thermal store which provides the user with controllable heat and hot water comfort. Advantages are:- Top connections Including Valves Botton Connections Including...
