CTC makes sure padel players don't get a cold shower

Interest in padel has exploded and new halls are being built all over the country. In Borås, the nationwide PDL Center has moved into Brämhults Juice's old premises in the north-eastern part of the city.

The 10,000 square metre padel hall is run by PDL Center, which has halls all over Sweden. It has 11 courts, changing rooms, toilets, shop, reception and offices.

Five air-to-water heat pumps - CTC EcoAir 620M - have been installed in the hall. 2 CTC 750-litre accumulator tanks are included in the system. These are supplemented by 5 FerroModules for the extra large hot water demand.

The CTC dealer has also installed a drain heat exchanger so that the heat in the shower water can be utilised. This results in up to 25% cheaper tap water.

In the case of the property in Brämhult, Cernera has invested in a climate-smart and cost-effective heating solution.

- I am proud of our sustainability work at Cernera, we are at the forefront, says the company's sustainability manager Ann-Helen Segota.

Cernera chose to invest in air-to-water heat pumps from CTC with seven tanks for the large hot water demand. The challenge has been to have enough hot water for many players to take a nice shower at the same time after finishing their session on the court.

The air-to-water heat pumps are located on the roof of the large building and since they were installed just over six months ago, the players in the venue have enjoyed a pleasant indoor climate with a constant temperature.

To make the heating system as resource efficient as possible, CTC's dealers have installed a waste heat exchanger so that the heat in the shower water is utilised. As the water drains away, it heats the incoming tap water, which goes to the showers.

- It's an unusual solution that we're delighted with. We expect it to save up to 25% on tap water," says Ann-Helen Segota.
