The new Yeatman 5-star wine and spa hotel in the Portuguese city of Oporto features Heatstar environmental control units for both the hotel pool and its luxury spa.
The product's energy efficiency and energy-saving advantages were major criteria in the hotel choosing Heatstar.
Two Phoenix 6000 Super units have been installed, with a combined airflow of 12,000 m3/h and a combined dehumidification duty of 29.5 l/h.
The units also incorporate fresh air ventilation for dehumidification and cooling, heat recovery to both air and water, and variable-mode humidity control which provides The Yeatman Hotel with a fully automated system designed to ensure that the environment is kept at the exact requirements. Other Heatstar benefits which helped in their selection included the limited access to the pool and spa technical rooms - Heatstar units were perfect for this location thanks to their modular construction and the ability to tailor units to clients' specific configuration needs.
ClimaConforto - one of Portugal's leading environmental control specialists for the pool industry - has worked with Heatstar for around 10 years and undertook the installation at the Yeatman Hotel. Their Technical Specialist Tiago Rocha commented: "Heatstar always offer excellent technical support both during and after installation. The knowledge and experience of Heatstar engineers is second to none, and their response times to any questions we have are faster than any other company. We also know their products are always at the cutting edge of energy efficiency and quality of construction."
The hotel has reported that, since the installation, the Heatstar units have performed faultlessly, and the hotel's maintenance engineer has stated he is completely satisfied with both the products and the installation.
