Horizontal Hot Water Cylinders
McDonald Engineers’ expertise and ability to offer a quick turnaround service has saved the day for a leading Ayrshire hotel who were faced with a leaking hot water cylinder and had no option but to get a new vented Grade 2 Horizontal cylinder made to their specifications.
Between receiving the order from the merchants on the Thursday afternoon and close of play Friday, McDonald Engineers had managed to manufacture the unit to specification and load it onto the lorry ready for delivery! How is that for customer service?

PLATEflow system scores top marks by controlling peak flow rates in school sports centre

PLATEflow Hot Water Cylinder
Pupils were not the only ones to gain top marks in school recently as McDonald Engineers helped a client who was faced with the challenge of providing a buffer for a short period of peak demand linked with a Plate Heat Exchanger to provide a steady flow rate.
McDonald Engineers worked with the client, providing their expert advice and guidance to assess all the alternatives before developing the perfect solution using their PLATEflow system.
McDonald Engineers’ Sales Director, Jamie Stewart, explained “At McDonald Engineers we like to put all the available options down on the table and come up with the best possible solution for our clients. It’s our ability to listen to our clients requirements, remain flexible and provide the best solution based on the situation at hand that keeps them returning time and time again.”
The result was to supply a PLATEflow unit with a 550 Litre Vented Grade 2 cylinder and Plate Heat Exchanger. Thanks to the off-site pre-assembly the contractor was able to dramatically reduce installation time.
The McDonalds PLATEflow system is specifically designed to supply hot water in situations where demand can vary over the course of a day and is ideal for use within hotels, hospitals, factories and in this case, a School Sports Centre in Edinburgh. It effectively decreases the amount of stored hot water required, while still delivering peak flow rates as demanded.
And with the PLATEflow system there are plenty of options available to offer. The PLATEflow can be supplied as either a vented, tank fed unit, or is suitable for unvented applications, when fed from the mains or a boosted cold water supply.

McDonald Engineers bespoke TIMEsaver plumbing unit saves time and space

TIMEsaver
McDonald Engineers has supplied no less than 62 customised TIMEsaver Plumbing Units to a local authority as part of their upgrade works to a tower block of flats.
The TIMEsaver system was identified as providing the perfect solution for the project which had no existing gas supply and was required to meet Byelaw 30 of the Water Regulations.
McDonald Engineers’ TIMEsaver system provides a quick and simple to install solution featuring an integrated cold water facility with a highly efficient hot water cylinder, capable of being powered by electricity, solar power, heat pumps as well as gas.
McDonald Engineers ability to customise their standard TIMEsaver units, also enabled the contractor and the local authority to develop a bespoke solution, sized specifically for the project and with custom located connections to decrease the installation time even further.
Sales Director Jamie Stewart, explained ” The TIMEsaver is a highly effective compact solution that gives plumbers and specifiers an alternative to the conventional separate hot water cylinder and cold water storage systems.”
He continued, “In addition to the enormous savings in time achieved from it being a complete unit that has be described as ‘Plumb and Play,’ a key feature of the TIMEsaver is it does away with the need for communal cold water storage tanks and allows each flat to enjoy the peace of mind of having its own tank. ”
Another option available on the TIMEsaver is to incorporate a factory fitted Stuart Turner pump to ensure the water being delivered from the cylinder achieves mains pressure for power showering etc.
