BSS Industrial Teams Up With Kensa Heat Pumps
In the face of increasing Government legislation and social responsibility, sustainable energy products are becoming more and more popular. As a result, BSS Industrial now sources a wide range of energy efficient products and renewable technologies to meet this increasing demand.
Ground Source Heat Pump Manufacturer, Kensa Engineering Ltd, based in Cornwall, is proud to join BSS Industrial’s portfolio of well established manufacturing partners to ensure they are better placed to offer this emerging technology.
Carbon and cost reductions are at the forefront of most people’s minds and the uptake of renewable technologies has never been greater. Backed by attractive Government grants, ground source heat pumps are rapidly becoming the first choice renewable technology for new build projects as they also make a significant contribution to on site renewable targets and BREEAM ratings.
As a result, sales of heat pumps are predicted to increase at a phenomenal rate and there will be significant business opportunities created. Kensa Engineering is the only UK manufacturer of a complete range of ground source heat pumps specifically designed for the UK market. Kensa’s extensive product range includes 4kW-24kW, single phase and commercial systems (up to 75kW), making Kensa an ideal partner in the growing market for the technology.
Kensa is renowned within the industry for providing technical support and sound advice regarding the use and suitability of heat pumps in different applications, and the systems are designed so that they simplify on-site work and hence save installation time. This reputation was reflected in September 2009, when Kensa Engineering won the award for Green Manufacturer of the Year 2009. Winning this award was reassurance that ethical approach to business, high levels of service and consistent efforts to improve on product engineering have not gone unrecognised by the people who really count within the industry.
Paul Dennison, Technical Sales Manager of Kensa Engineering commented: "Our partnership with BSS Industrial will give its existing customers access not only to our extensive range of heat pumps, but also our award winning technical service and installer training. Demand for our products is growing rapidly with Kensa Heat Pumps being specified for a range of commercial applications due to their efficiency, ease of installation, and access to grant funding”
Kensa is already working with BSS Industrial on a project for Ty Gwyn School in Cardiff. Two 50kW heat pumps are currently being manufactured to provide the full space heating load from an array of 20no, 50m slinkies, buried under the car park, with the plantroom installation due to start in November 2009.
Kensa is looking forward to working with BSS Industrial on more projects in the future.
Paul Richardson, Product Group Manager at BSS Industrial, added: “BSS Industrial is a service solution provider, primarily to the heating and ventilation market. Partnership agreements like this with Kensa Engineering are an important part of developing our supplier portfolio and our customers trust us to work only with the best in the industry.
“We hope the project at Ty Gwyn School will be the first of many we work on with Kensa and perhaps the start of a trend in the adoption of renewable technology, right across the education sector.”
