Question. Which of these achievements would allow a company to claim the titles of innovative and market leader? Perhaps a UK Government Award in Sustainable Technologies? What about being right at the forefront of the Energy Conservation Field, or perhaps achieving a major breakthrough in heating technology? What about all three - or is that just too much for any one company? Well, in that case, they forgot to point that out to Kelso based Ampliflaire which is undoubtedly one of Scotland's (arguably the UKs) most exciting and innovative companies. That is because Ampliflaire is changing our whole concept of heating technology and its relation to environmental concern. This revolution is not something confined to a laboratory or in the mind of some academic, but it is something real and happening right on our doorstep. At the head of this revolution and of Ampliflaire itself, is the equally mercurial Dean Warwick. Mr Warwick positively oozes enthusiasm and conviction for his patented inventions and when you study the success Ampliflaire has already enjoyed to date, it is not difficult to see why. Ampliflaire is a major break-through in heating technology and is the only heat exchange process capable of raising combustion cycle efficiency within fuel burning systems. Other systems of heat exchange by their very nature must lower combustion cycle efficiency. A former Head Rocket Engineer with British Aerospace, who saw the Ampliflaire system in operation, remarked: "I have spent years testing systems of Heat Exchange from all over the world. I can see what is happening, it is clever. There is no other system in the world to touch it. There is nothing left, nowhere to go. It has cracked the problem." "Ampliflaire recovers the heat energy other systems lose," explained Mr Warwick. "Wherever fuel is burned or heat energy wasted, there is a unit to resolve the problem, and flue-pipe models, retro-fitted to conventional boilers, convert them into overall effective condensing systems with remarkable savings." "Ampliflaire open fires release the electrical energy in plants, absorbed from the sun during the growing cycle. Grown fuels are the most efficient convertors of solar energy and the burning of grown fuels in this way is the safe way to make available energy from a nuclear reaction." "As hydroxides (OH) of carbon (C), the potential energy in plants far outshines their current use. With the largest man made forest in Europe, the UK Government already recognises a commitment to grown fuel which can easily satisfy our needs. Winter species grass for Methane gas, Bio-diesel & Hydrogen from plants as liquids and Wood replenishing solids". |
"Flue pipe or open fire models insulate against the greatest heat loss of all, that which is lost up the flues of fuel burning systems. Waste Heat and Pollution can be reduced practically to zero with these systems, thereby truly honouring our commitment to the Rio-initiative regarding Environmental and Ecological concerns whilst conserving Energy Resource."
The main features of Ampliflaire
For example, the Ampliflaire showroom is a former Church Hall with no roof or wall insulation and no underslate roofing felt. To make matters worse, there is a high windchill to the northern side. There is no solar input. So why does the building feel as warm as the proverbial toast? Incredibly, wood dross and bark from a local sawmill at five pounds a ton, heats the showroom maintaining 17-20ºC during winter, burning 160-180lb of wood per day. In another example, a three-bedroom house which once had coal-heated radiators, with fuel bill in excess of nine hundred pounds a year. With the Ampliflaire system, that bill for heating and domestic hot water was reduced to just one hundred and twenty five pounds a year - a massive saving of almost eight hundred pounds! Dean Warwick has proven that his discovery can revolutionise the way we live. An engineer with a special talent for invention, Dean's work with Ampliflaire has to be seen to be believed. It would probably be the cheapest telephone enquiry you will ever make.
