Heat Exchanger

  • Note that house has a full-height ceiling, with no roof-space. This means that electrical conduits will be exposed on any brick walls, and that electrical cables will be carried overhead in trays. Similarly, much of the plumbing will not be hidden away; so it has to be done in a way that looks neat and which, where possible, runs neatly alongside power conduits, as plenty of pipes will be exposed.
  • The effect will be more like a modern restaurant in a warehouse conversion, where pipework will be exposed. This means that consuits and pipes must be metal, not plastic, and the heat exchanger fitter, the plumber, electrician and joiner keep each other in the loop about what they are planning to do, to avoid stuff having to be re-done later.
  • This will apply in particular to venting points.
  • We plan to fit an additional air purifier unit inside the heat exchanger pipework – owner will supply that.
