King’s Nympton Park in Devon was recently provided with a number of heating and hot water solutions by Solaris Energy, helping to deliver safer and more efficient performance.

A Grade I-listed building set in the unspoilt Devonshire village of King’s Nympton, the 18th-century Mansion House at King’s Nympton Park engaged the services of Solaris Energy back in 2019 via BBH Energy Strategies, who commissioning us to design, supply and install a ground source heat pump system that could help deliver efficient heating and hot water to the estate.

With a number of outlying farmhouses dating to the 15th century, the site would require extensive modernisation in terms of heating supply. In addition to delivering hot water and heating to the Mansion House, there was also the need to provide district heating to Laundry Cottage and an ancillary shoot room.

In order to deliver the perfect solution to King’s Nympton Park, we identified during the design stage the need to drill 15 x 200m boreholes; however, following initial drilling on site, this was adapted to 24 x 110m boreholes connected to a 24-way chamber manifold, running 110mm PE100 header pipework to the plant room - a prefabricated unit developed in the Solaris Energy warehouse and delivered to the site for immediate use. 

Both a Nibe F1345-60 Ground Source Heat Pump and a Nibe F1234-40 Ground Source Heat Pump were used to help deliver heating and hot water to the estate, harnessing the natural energy of the ground in order to reduce heating costs and minimise the environmental impact. Also connected to the heat pump was the market-leading Elysator Trio 25 corrosion protection system, capable of separating gases, absorbing acids and filtering sludge particles in order to preserve the heat pump, heating system and all system components.
