Calor is working alongside a number of manufacturers of renewable and green energy technologies to provide a combined energy solution for businesses in non mains gas areas.

 

Technology such as gas heat pumps and combined heat and power units are extremely efficient in terms of energy use as they take 'free' heat from the ambient air and reuse the heat expelled during combustion. LPG is an ideal fuel to power this type of equipment in areas without mains gas as it is a lower carbon producing fuel than both oil and electric.

 

LPG-powered gas heat pump (GHP) technologies are the ideal solution for buildings where electricity supply is limited. Sanyo's GHPs provide quick and efficient cooling and heating with potential heating efficiencies of over 140 per cent due to waste heat from combustion being recovered and re-used.

 

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units generate heat and electricity simultaneously providing outlets with an economic and environmentally friendly alternative to meeting thermal and electrical demands in many applications. By generating heat and electricity from a single source, CHP units such as the Baxi-Dachs unit can deliver overall fuel efficiencies in excess of 75 per cent.

 

For outlets considering renewable energy solutions, LPG can be used as a back up fuel to 'top up' the energy provided by solar technologies such as those offered by Andrews Solar Heating. 

 

Calor's marketing manager, Laura Luty, says hospitality outlets looking to reduce their operation's impact on the environment should log on to the web site to see examples of the latest energy technology in use: "Increasingly businesses are looking at ways of becoming more environmentally aware. Reducing energy usage not only reduces harmful emissions, it also reduces running costs and enables outlets to market their green credentials customers.

 

 "At Calor we will continue to work alongside a range of manufacturers, such as Baxi-Dachs, Sanyo and Andrews Solar Heating, to offer a range of the latest energy efficient technology as different operations have different requirements."

 

As a cleaner burning fuel than oil, LPG produces less carbon emissions and less smoke and can be used to power entire businesses in rural areas, including catering, heating and water heating as well as alfresco appliances.
