A district heating system delivers thermal energy in the form of hot water from a central source to end users using a network of insulated pipes. A Heat Interface Unit (HIU) transfers heat from the network to the end user’s heating system or generates instantaneous hot water. The choice of HIU is key to the success of a district heat network.
Ideal Heating Commercial’s POD HIU has been designed to be the installers friend - the HIU of choice - whether it’s for a new system or retrofit for an existing HIU. Meeting all the requirements, alongside those of the operator and end user. It’s available in indirect and direct models, in outputs of 30, 40, 50 and 60kW, with a further 70kW model for POD Indirect.
6 reasons to be confident when it comes to the POD HIU:
- Easy to specify: combined product performance, technical and aftersales support make for straightforward specification.
- Ease of installation: the first fix kit incorporates the service valves, appliance support and hanging bracket separately so it can be delivered and installed ahead of the POD unit so all services can be piped up, flooded, flushed, and tested in advance.
- Compact size: with a small footprint and compact overall envelope the POD HIU can easily fit in a kitchen cupboard, taking up minimal space and keeping it out of the way.
- Simple to use: The POD HIU looks just like a domestic combi boiler from the outside and has similar controls, making it familiar and simple to use.
- Availability: POD HIU has market leading availability, so there’s no delay.
- Made in the UK: Ideal Heating POD is made in the UK by one of the few true British manufacturers left in the heating industry.
Did you know?
Around 500,000 UK properties are currently connected to district heating networks but the government’s Clean Growth Strategy predicts this could rise to more than five million by 2050. District heating networks therefore represent a great business opportunity!
