AIR CONDITIONING FOR HOTELS

AEROVIAGGI - TORRE DEL BARONE

Hydronic system
for the 4 stars hotel with thermal center

Near Sciaccamare park, the Torre del Barone Club of Sciacca is a 4-star hotel.

Is has been rebuilt during winter 2019 and it is a modern and comfortable structure, near the wonderful park of Sciaccamare.

It is an ideal place to relax and be in contact with nature. There are five floors that are connected with a “zip lift” with 231 new and big rooms with terrace with sea view. The rooms are full-service with private toilets, shower and hair dryer, tv, direct phone, wi-fi, mini-fridge, safety box, air-conditioning, etc. 

The challenge

The renovation of a hotel that has a thermal center is not easy from an air-conditioning point of view.

The air-conditioning system has to satisfy the contemporary request of cold for the rooms, heat for the thermal centre and sanitary hot water. In traditional installations, these requests are satisfied by several units with high first investment and management costs and big spaces for the installation are necessary.

The challenge was to satisfy those requests reducing installation and management costs, removing the old thermal center with natural gas boiler.

Another important element was the acoustic comfort: maximum silence to grant total comfort to clients.

The solution

Multifunction reversible heat pump SPINChiller3 (WSAN-XSC3 MF 140.4) has all the necessary elements for the air-conditioning installation as it can produce heat, cold at the same time and independently. With the energy recovery reversible heat pump technology this unit can satisfy every request of cold water, heat water with high energy efficiency and automatically employing renewable energy without combustion local emissions. The acoustic super silenced configuration allows the maximum silence. 

The installation is completed with the water -water ELFOEnergy Ground Medium 2 (WSH-XEE2 60.2), which stands out for compactness, silence that is used for the very high hot water production. 

The SPINChiller3 multifunction heat pump manages the air-conditioning of the hotel in winter and in summer with the primary side, meanwhile the recovery side heats at 45°C during all seasons with a tank of 5 m3.

The ELFOEnergy Ground Medium2 unit works like a heat pump booster that increases temperature up to 70°C. Through an intermediate exchanger can supply other water tanks with a total volume of 20 m3 for the different thermal destinations. 

The results

The system guarantees the different requests of cooling, heating and domestic heat water production of the hotel in a contemporary and independent mode, reducing management costs, initial investment and central thermal space.

Rooms, common areas and pool thermal comfort is satisfied by units that allow also the energy saving, reducing management costs.

Even acoustic comfort request is satisfied for this high-level hotel.
