Multi-family housing has two aspects that strongly distinguish it from single-family housing: energy generation is centralised and the "time factor" is of vital importance on site.
For the professional or the developer, the objective is to offer the best product possible that is suited to the standards of the building project, whilst also implementing solutions that are easily reproduced on a large scale, in order to maintain profitability. Performance in terms of energy consumption, appearance and ease of product use are major considerations.
To connect energy generators to networks and ensure the dependability and safety of the system.
In multi-family housing, the boiler is placed in a technical space restricted to professionals, located below-ground or at roof level. It may constitute either one lone generator that supplies all necessary power or a series of generators that may be combined with renewable-energy systems.
To transport energy from one or several generators to the rest of the system.
In multi-family housing, the size of primary networks is directly linked to the method of domestic hot-water production. Depending on whether or not production is centralised, different solutions may be put into place.
To distribute and split flow in networks.
In multi-family housing, like the sizing of primary networks, interfaces are selected according to whether or not hot water production is centralised. For its part, secondary distribution (by simple splitters or manifolds with built-in control units) is determined by the type of emitters used.
To control flow and ensure optimal distribution throughout the network.
In multi-family housing, balancing is essential to guarantee that all occupants are comfortable and the building is energy-efficient.
To supply all heating and drinking water emitters.
In multi-family housing, the product's cost and efficiency on-site are important criteria when choosing the solution to put in place for secondary networks. Appearance is also taken into account, in accordance with the project's level of standards.
To regulate flow in the system and provide the desired comfort level in each room.
In multi-family housing, the product's cost and efficiency on-site are important criteria when choosing emitters and parts. Appearance is also taken into account, in accordance with the project's level of standards.
Protect the system for the long term, and provide optimal water quality.
Water transports energy within a heating and air-conditioning system, and it is also used in multi-family housing for bathing, washing-up, cooking and more. The water itself is also consumed. Its quality is therefore critical, both for technical equipment and for occupants.
In multi-family housing, installing a Comap sludge collection unit completes the initial outfitting with a large-capacity retention device on the primary circuit. It guarantees that impurities from the looped heating circuit do not recirculate. The risks of total or partial blockage and of premature corrosion due to differential airing are limited.
Depending on water hardness, a large-capacity Comap water softener may be installed to prevent malfunction linked to calcium deposits.
Since 1921, Comap has been driving intelligent management of water and energy through its thermal and sanitary products that increase comfort in buildings. It is part of the stocklisted company Aalberts NV, instituted in 1975. Along with Flamco, which produces high-quality components for use in HVAC systems since 1956, the Aalberts hydronic flow control business unit was constituted. Stronger together, Comap and Flamco will continue to build mission critical technologies to manage heating and cooling humanly with better financial and environmental efficacy. From source to emitter we partner with our customers to engineer seamless energy efficient hydronic systems for their building requirements.
