Guests of the Ritz-Carlton, Powerscourt in the woodlands of County Wicklow on Ireland’s east coast are invited to experience a unique world where nothing is overlooked and where every need is catered for. Everything is done to ensure a memorable, comfortable and truly remarkable stay.
To obtain optimal indoor climate in all rooms, colaval automatic balancing valves supplied by Advanced Technical Products Ltd. were supplied to Mercury Engineering for this 5 star hotel in Enniskerry. Over 1000 colaval  valves which feature union end connections, externally adjustable automatic flow cartridges and a built-in isolation and an equivalent number of A-strainers including blow-down valve were installed. The use of these valves completely eliminates the need for individual balancing, thus resulting in ease of installation and cost saving during commissioning. Valve bodies with flushing caps were delivered and installed first and almost one year later all cartridges were supplied.

“We were very pleased with the products and how they were employed on this project. Each E-Just cartridge was pre-set and delivered, individually bagged and cross referenced with a bedroom and fancoil number. Then once the system was flushed, it was a simple process of installing the cartridges and filling the system. With the end result, a fully automatically balanced system” says Peter Kelly of ATP Ltd.
