NSW Manufacturing Facility

Automatic Heating was commissioned to find an efficient, gas-free, compact, and easy-to-maintain solution. The system needed to be safe to operate near hazardous areas and emit minimal noise, aligning with the company’s green initiative to reduce environmental impact.

A heat pump was initially considered for its low operating cost and environmental impact, but it was deemed unsuitable due to its requirement for quiet operation and installation near a hazardous area. Instead, Automatic Heating installed a 40-kilowatt stainless steel heating system, comprised of multiple electric heating elements and controlled by a Building Management System. With four heating elements, the system produces 40 liters per minute of hot water at 75℃, enough to maintain the required temperature of the chemical fluid continuously.

The tight deadline posed a challenge for fabrication, as the plant shutdown was imminent. To overcome this, the team of engineers modified a readily available tank and connected it with stainless steel pipework, and installed the heaters, pumps, and controller on a compact, galvanized skid frame, ensuring all major components were accessible away from the hazardous area. The result was a custom-made solution delivered in just three weeks, ahead of schedule and providing significant savings for the company.

The NSW manufacturing facility project showcases Automatic Heating’s ability to provide fast and efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly solutions.
