Heating Replacement for a Family Home – A Simple Route to a Heat Pump
In a typical family-home neighbourhood in Dübendorf, we replace existing oil and gas heating systems with properly sized air-to-water heat pumps and coordinate the entire project.
A New Heating System for MS Helvetia
Lake Zurich, Canton Zurich
2023
Project Description
Too warm at the front, too cold at the rear
The existing diesel heating system on MS Helvetia needed to be replaced. At the same time, there was another problem on board: the front and upper areas of the vessel were often too warm, while the rear remained too cold. Simply replacing the heat generator would not have solved this. We therefore considered heat generation, distribution and controls as one system and developed a new concept for the vessel. A Buderus Logano plus GB125 with 50 kW heating output was installed as the new heat generator.
Project Description
Three heating zones for a ship
We divided MS Helvetia into three independently controlled heating zones, each with its own room sensor. This allows heat to be regulated according to demand where it is actually needed. In the cooler central area, we added four fan convectors that can quickly deliver substantial heating output to the entrance area, particularly when doors are open. The installation itself was also unusual: bringing in and positioning the new heating system was coordinated with Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft. Supports, fixings and working methods were adapted to the specific requirements of shipbuilding. An unusual request and an unusual job site – which is exactly why this project remains particularly memorable for us.

A Private District Heating Network for Freudwil
Two Fröling wood-chip boilers with outputs of 150 and 60 kW supply houses and apartment buildings in Freudwil through a private district heating network. We installed the central plant, substations and complete connections for the individual heat consumers.
