Double boiler system for the Tower

Double boiler system for the Tower

Innsbruck, Austria

A multi-story base building with a 49-meter-high tower, including a hotel, restaurants, offices, and shops: this is the Headline Complex in Innsbruck. It was inaugurated on November 26, 2012, after just 955 days of construction.

“Intelligent high-tech”

“It can’t be modern enough for us; we rely on innovations and intelligent high-tech,” says the Innsbruck-based Ortner GmbH. The family business planned and subsequently executed the heating and hot water systems for the Headline building together with Hoval Austria.

UltraGas as a double boiler

The building is heated with two Hoval UltraGas gas condensing boilers, each with a heating capacity of 650 kW. The hot water system preheats with 210 kW and reheats with 320 kW, filling two stainless steel tanks with a volume of 4000 liters each. This supplies the four-star hotel with its 100 double rooms, as well as its restaurant and wellness area. 

Top priority: hygiene

Hotels, as well as hospitals, nursing homes, and spas, rely on hygienically impeccable hot water preparation. It must always be available in sufficient quantity and at the right temperature. And, of course, the system should also be economical, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly. 

Two-stage hot water system

All of this can be achieved with Hoval. For the Headline project, the planners chose the two-stage Hoval TransTherm aqua hot water system. It is custom-made for each project. The water is preheated via a heat exchanger and then immediately passed through a reheater, which heats it to 60°C in standard operation. This ensures hygienically impeccable operation, as prescribed by ÖNORM B5019. Since periodic heating of the preheating stage is not required, energy efficiency increases. The performance-based design of the buffer circuit circulation ensures optimal cooling in the heat recovery buffer circuit. Thus, waste heat from any existing cooling systems is efficiently utilized. 

The Hoval TopTronic control system serves as the “command center” in the Headline Complex: it reliably and precisely controls hot water preparation. It also ensures intelligent management of buffer storage discharge and charging.
