HIUs help connect Scottish flats to district heating

Modutherm has supplied its MTA heat interface units to the Linen Quarter development in Dunfermline, Fife, providing heating and domestic hot water to 112 two- and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a single commercial unit. The installation is part of the regeneration of Dunfermline’s last remaining Grade A-listed linen works, creating a mixed-use neighbourhood.
The new apartment block has been connected to Dunfermline’s district heating system, which supplies heat from a central source generated at the Dunfermline Recycling Centre. The system facilitates the use of low carbon renewable energy sources to benefit the environment and significantly reduce residents’ carbon footprint.
Modutherm’s ultra-compact MTA HIU was the perfect partner to the district heating system, offering excellent heating and DHW loads. Allan McKenna, director at AMK Mechanical Services Limited, said: “From the start of the project, we’ve been really impressed with the MTA unit, as well as the technical input and advice provided by Modutherm. The unit is also really compact, which makes it really flexible from both a design and installation perspective.”
The MTA HIU is available in four models: indirect heating and DHW (twin plate), heating only, DHW only, and direct heating and DHW.
