Overview

Heat Interface Units (HIUs) are an integral part of any district energy solution, providing heating and hot water to the residents. Unfortunately, not all HIUs are capable of efficient performance and the BESA 2018 HIU testing regime assesses key areas of performance and highlights how different HIUs will perform.

The space saving vTherm°e Heat Interface Unit (HIU) is one of the most efficient models in the market and has the lowest VWART of any 2018 BESA tested HIU.

The HIU was designed with industry feedback in mind. By integrating smart controls and an intelligent core which responds to fluctuations in the flow temperature, vTherm°e can adjust in real time to deliver optimised performance at both traditional and ultra-low, next-generation district heating networks to meet BESA Heat Interface Unit Standards.

The BESA HIU report for the vTherm°e is available for download on the BESA Website.

This year will see the release the BESA 2021 test regime and there is considerable interest throughout the industry of what the new and improved test will look like.

Whist the BESA HIU test regime is voluntary its importance cannot be overstated, and with some local authorities insisting on a “BESA approved HIU” and stipulating minimum performance requirements, not undergoing the testing progress could significantly limit a HIUs market appeal.

The pressure on the public and private sector to reach carbon targets is intense and we are seeing planning regulations and stipulations in tenders which ensure contractors maximise carbon reduction on projects. By insisting on a BESA tested HIU in the planning or tendering phases local authorities can have confidence that this part of the heat network will lead to maximum carbon savings.
