Since the 1980s, an important family-run company has been operating near Como, dealing with galvanic treatments and metal coatings.

After so many years in business, it became necessary to renew all facilities and upgrade to state-of-the-art technology to continue improving the quality of the products and increasing the company’s success.

One of the latest assignments involved the redevelopment of an existing boiler room plant in the company. Not only did all components have to be moved together to a new purpose-built room, but the existing system also had to be upgraded with power integration due to the extension of the building to be air-conditioned and the additional demands of production processes.

The project saw several stages of realisation. In particular, one of the existing oil-fired boilers with a useful output of 620kW was entirely dismantled and reassembled in the new technical room and integrated with a new steel generator with a useful output of 812kW with high efficiency and three smoke passes with low Nox emissions.

Since this is a system with a power output of more than 35kW, the provisions of the 2009 edition of the Collection R have been complied with, which stipulate the obligation to install INAIL - approved and/or INAIL - compliant products in a special room dedicated to the heating plant.

Highly appreciated in the plant engineering sector, Watts offers a complete range of components for the correct and safe realisation of every configuration of a boiler room plant. These components fulfil all functional requirements for the different power sizes of gaseous or liquid fuel plants, ensuring their safety, protection, and efficiency.

In this project, in particular, INAIL qualified safety valves of the VST Series, a three-way valve for fuel shut-off and thermal discharge of the generator and expansion vessel of the 296 Series, regulation and protection devices such as the TRI manifold and INAIL accessories prescribed by the R Collection for the safety and control of the thermal power plant were installed, the immersion and manual reset lockout thermostat (TS TU), the manual reset pressure switch (PRM) and the minimum lockout pressure switch with manual reset button (PRMIN) and, finally, the control devices such as thermometers (TB-80VE), pressure gauges (M1-ABS63/R) and pressure gauge holder taps with flange (403/RF) and copper alloy insulation curl (407/D SRN).

Some components for the new generator such as the anti-vibration expansion joint (GDA), the aluminium filter (70600F), the flanged pressure regulator (FSDR) and the VIC/A Series fuel shut-off valve were installed in the gas ramp.

Finally, the oil ramp was fitted with the Series 70351 two-way oil line filter, the normally closed (NC) M10M15 solenoid valve for the automatic shut-off of oil in the burner supply pipes, and the fuel shut-off valve (Series 464).
