McDonald Engineers’ Plans for All Energy Exhibition Heat Up

McDonald Engineers are planning to unveil their renewable range of hot water cylinders at All Energy 2010, Europe’s largest  event devoted to the renewable energy industry, which will be held at the Aberdeen Conference and Exhibition Centre on the 19th and 20th May.

The Fife based company is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of copper hot water cylinders and has established an enviable reputation for  their compatibility with a broad range of fuel sources. The creation of their dedicated renewable range reinforces their position in the energy market and provides end clients, specifiers and installers with a flexible range of highly efficient hot water systems.

With several of the leading heat pump manufacturers insisting  that their systems should be used in conjunction  with  copper cylinders, such as those offered by McDonald Engineers, the company is looking forward to one of its most successful events ever.

McDonald Engineers’ Sales Director, Jamie Stewart, explained “Copper’s green credentials and its bacteria killing properties have always made it a firm favourite in the energy sector. However the growth of the renewable energy sector and the focus on maximising heat transfer is making copper a vital element to an efficient hot water system.”

He continued, “We have played a key role in shaping the role of hot water systems in the solar energy market and our experience and expertise is now assisting clients across the world to harness latent energy in whatever form and transfer it into piping hot water.”

McDonald Engineers’ Custom Cylinders Save Money on Large Thermal Store Contract

THERMflow Thermal Stores from McDonald Engineers

THERMflow Thermal Stores from McDonald Engineers

Dispelling the myth that bespoke cylinders are just for one-off projects, McDonald Engineers has enabled one Scottish Local Authority to save a significant amount of time and installation costs on a project which required over 400 thermal stores.

By working closely with the project team, McDonald Engineers were able to re- position several key connections on its standard THERMflow Thermal Store, to suit the incoming pipework and make it easier for the installation team to access.

In doing so, the installation team were able to install the cylinders much quicker and with less materials, saving time, money and hassle on site.

McDonald Engineers’ Sales Director, Jamie Stewart, explained, “Our flexible manufacturing process is renowned for being able to produce one off cylinders quickly and efficiently.  However there is a growing client base, who now realise the enormous benefits that can be achieved just by tweaking the design of existing products for large volume contracts.”

He continued, “By making simple changes, such as repositioning the connections, clients can achieve significant time and material savings.  When you add up all the savings, whether it is on a contract of 20 homes or 20,000 cylinder installations, it’s easy to see how much can be saved.”
