Calorifiers
McCallum's calorifiers provide efficient hot water solutions for commercial and industrial applications. Available in storage, semi-storage, and non-storage configurations, these units comply with BS853 and ASME standards. Constructed from copper, stainless steel, or mild steel, they support steam or hot water primary mediums with capacities up to 15,000 litres.
Plate Heat Exchangers
Our plate heat exchangers deliver compact, high-efficiency thermal transfer for HVAC and industrial processes. The HT-Breeze range offers outputs from 0.25 to 5.00 litres/second with advanced controls, while the Vari-E-Breeze integrates variable-speed pumps for energy savings and precise temperature regulation.
Solar Thermal Systems
McCallum's solar thermal systems combine flat plate and evacuated tube collectors with twin-coil cylinders for domestic and industrial hot water. Designed for UK climates, these systems feature 25+ year durability, 85% instantaneous efficiency, and integration with existing heating infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions.
Heat Interface Units
The Hiper HIU series enables efficient heat distribution in district networks, providing instantaneous hot water and central heating without combustion. Features include PID temperature control, low-return temperatures for network efficiency, and compatibility with renewable energy sources like biomass boilers.
Thermal Storage Vessels
Custom thermal storage vessels, ranging from 100 to 67,000 litres, optimise heat retention in district heating and biomass systems. Constructed from mild steel, copper, or stainless steel, these vessels ensure consistent heat supply and integrate with solar thermal or combined heat and power (CHP) systems.
Questions
