The low-carbon steam plant room
The Spirax Sarco low-carbon steam plant room has been developed to eliminate many of
the issues experienced within traditional steam plant rooms.
It has been designed to help you meet your CO2 and energy reduction targets, achieving typical savings of around 10%. It will also dramatically reduce
your maintenance requirements and eliminates the need for bi-annual insurance inspections, thus improving health and safety. Combine this with our
knowledgeable team of specialists and we will ensure we help you find the most effective way of improving your business performance. Our experts
will help you every step of the way.

Low-carbon pump solution
The low-carbon pump skid has been designed to complete the plant room. This solution enables the
heated water from the Spirax EasiHeatTM to be accurately distributed to the various sub-circuits within the
plant using low carbon footprint pumps.
The low carbon pump skid is supplied with twin head variable speed pumps and all associated ancillary equipment installed on each circuit. The unit can be further
enhanced, for optimum performance, by selecting the optional pressurisation unit and expansion vessel to remove the requirement for a feed and expansion system.
Low-carbon pump skid features:
• Shunt circuit
• Constant temperature circuits (up to 3 circuits)
• Variable temperature circuits (up to 3 circuits)
• Low loss header design
• Twin head variable speed Lowara pumps
• Expansion vessels
• Pressurisation unit and expansion vessel Optional extras
• Binder test points
• Pre-wired to isolators
