HERZ Feuerungstechnik “Dizimieu Castle” is the company headquarters as well as the reference project. In 2000 the first HERZ firematic biomass heating in France went into operation here. At the “Lyceé Amberieu”, a technical school for installers, the students practice direct by installing, adjusting and maintaining heating equipment. As well as oil and gas boilers, HERZ biomass equipment (25kW) is in operation here. Environment-friendly biomass fuel, which was originally used to heat ancient buildings, is also booming now in a country that has traditionally been reliant on electricity from nuclear energy! HERZ Feuerungstechnik in France Whereas a few years ago only wood pellets were available – and indeed these were of poor quality – today the market for pellet equipment is growing, not only in the field of single and multiple family dwellings but also in the large systems sector (from 300kW). Wood shavings and offcuts have been an important factor on the French market since 2000, and numerous large HERZ systems have already been installed. Re-thinking among those in government e French government promotes environment-friendly energy according to the region, and a number of comparative studies about the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of individual fuels have been commissioned and published. A study by the French Ministry of Economy and Finance shows that the price of a litre of oil in the period of comparison between June 1999 and June 2006 has doubled, and the price for a kilo of The Lachat apartment complex, consisting of small chalets, receives its central heat supply from two 90 kW HERZ installations. wood shavings has remained stable in the same period. A strong HERZ partner with a high quality of service HERZ Feuerungstechnik is represented in France by SBthermique. e company, founded in 2001, specialises in alternative energy sources. Six staff currently look aer the large French market, and an extension of the team is planned during the year. e HERZ products are being sold exclusively via the specialist, and selected installers, who are distributed strategically across the whole of France, are being intensively trained in HERZ products at the company head office and on-site. A higher standard of service is thereby guaranteed for the customer. In the short term questions can be answered and maintenance work carried out onsite by the known specialist. The company headquarters as the first reference project e company headquarters of SBthermique is also the first reference project in France and a particularly interesting one. e offices of the HERZ representatives are housed in the neighbouring Dimizieu Castle (45 km from Lyon), the oldest part of which was built in the 16 th Century. e first HERZ firematic biomass equipment (90kW) to be installed in France, has been heating the 700 square metres of the ancient building since 2000. Another piece of equipment with the same heat capacity was recently installed to supply the neighbouring buildings (mansion, offices and events room). e new environment-friendly heating offers many advantages in contrast to the previous oil-heating equipment. Energy consumption was 10 Summer/Autumn 2006
HERZ Literature extremely high in this poorly insulated old building. Nowadays, the fuel comes from the adjoining forest and is placed directly in the silo. e equipment has paid for itself within three months due to the savings on fuel and transportation costs. HERZ BioMatic opens up new opportunities in the market e future looks very positive for large HERZ systems and the new HERZ BioMatic is also opening up wider markets in France. Large installations of 220kW and a 500kW have already been put in, and large 300kW and 500kW installations are also being planned for biomass.

Top le to right) The Heart of Heating - Hydraulic Balancing The work designed as a reference book “The Heart of Heating - Hydraulic Balancing” was published in-house by HERZ Armaturen and will soon be available in a printed English version. Since the beginning of 2006 the German version of this 200-page comprehensive technical document has been available to view on our website at www.herz-armaturen.com One of the basic preconditions for correct functioning of a hot water heating system is the proper planning and design of the hydraulics. is guide helps engineers and planners to construct an optimal hot water heating system. As a basis for the technical information, the relevant valid standards and technical guidelines are listed. e basic relationships between heat and flow are explained, insofar as this is required for the application in question. e fundamental approach of this book is its practical relevance. Frequently used equipment parts, valves, pumps, etc. are described and thereby facilitate the choice of corresponding products. So as not to go beyond the scope and to maintain the clarity, such a description can only be made using examples, and never in full. As well as the German version, there is also a Russian version of the book. Versions are being prepared in English, Serbian, Polish, Bulgarian and Rumanian. e reader is introduced to the heat and current instructions in the first chapter – ESSENTIALS. e subsequent chapters give a detailed summary of the following areas: Circulating pumps Operating pressure characteristics Heat output systems Heat distribution systems Heat provision systems Control and hydraulic systems Special fittings and water heating Pipe network dimensioning of twopipe heating systems Pipe network dimensioning of onepipe heating systems Hydraulic balancing Quality assurance Should you be interested in the HERZ book “e Heart of Heating - Hydraulic Balancing”, please contact your HERZ agent or HERZ Vienna direct on +43/1/ 616 26 31-0 or by e-mail at office@herzarmaturen.com. We will be happy to give you further information on the referencing conditions. Summer/Autumn 2006 11
