Sytner BMW Warm up with Reznor

Sytner BMW is one of the UK’s larger car dealer networks. It outgrew its existing city centre showroom in Nottingham, and relocated to an out-of-town site. The new showroom is a flagship for the company, with around 4,000m² of floor space - enough to accommodate all the models from the BMW range together with a used car area and a new Mini showroom.

 

To ensure air temperatures within the showroom provide constant comfort conditions for customers and staff, Sytner sought a high efficiency solution to the heating needs of its new state of the art building.

 

Reznor indirect fired warm air units were installed to maintain even comfort temperatures in the showroom. The units are fully modulating and fitted with two-stage DX cooling coils.

 

Tempered air is brought into the showroom via ducting and distributed throughout the interior by means of drum diffusers positioned at ceiling level, approximately five metres from the floor.

 

In the workshop, where external doors open and close frequently to allow cars in and out, Reznor radiant tube heaters were installed. Radiant tube heating works like the sun, heating only people and objects in its path. The Reznor heaters take the chill off machinery and ensure people feel warm within minutes of start-up, or after a period when the door is open. However, no energy is wasted in heating the volume of air in the building, making it an extremely economical solution in a workshop environment.

 

A consistent 20-21 degrees is maintained in the showroom during cold weather, ensuring a pleasant internal environment for customers and staff. Fully modulating burners mean the system operates at optimum efficiency since nearly all fuel consumed is turned into usable heat. DX coiling coils are used to create a fresher environment in the showroom during hot spells.
