Vale & Downland Museum

Twin-boiler replacement in a museum

Our work

The existing system

The museum’s heating was served by two older Vaillant boilers.

The replacement

The replacement scope comprises two Worcester Bosch Greenstar 8000+ 35kW system boilers, a new low-loss header and individual system filters. High-level flues follow the existing route, with an access hatch for future servicing.

Working with the existing building

The design retains the existing system controls, motorised valves and downstream pumps, connecting new boiler plant to the museum’s established heating system.
