Control Valves Solutions - A Partnership in Process-Critical Heating
Client: Control Valves Solutions (CVS)
Location: Aberdeen, UK
Industry: Specialist Industrial Engineering
Project: Process-Critical Heating for Business Expansion
Introduction
Control Valves Solutions of Aberdeen is a specialist engineering company where precision is paramount. For their manufacturing process, maintaining a stable temperature is not just about comfort—it's a critical component of their quality control. This case study details how an initial online purchase evolved into a trusted partnership, with Winrow Building Services Limited providing the rapid, expert installation needed to support CVS's impressive business growth.

The Challenge: From Online Purchase to Critical Application
The journey began when CVS purchased a heater from the Winrow online. They subsequently requested installation for a highly specific application: heating a paint preparation area.
The primary challenge was to maintain a precise, stable air temperature. This was essential to ensure that the specialist paint used by CVS would adhere correctly to their metal products during the preparation phase. The heating system was a direct contributor to the quality and integrity of their final product.
Six months later, a new challenge arose. Due to successful business expansion, CVS needed to replicate this process-critical environment in another part of their building, and they needed it operational quickly to meet demand.
The Solution: High-Efficiency, Modulating Heaters
For both applications, a 30kw compact warm air heater was the chosen solution. This unit was ideal not just for its size, but for its advanced technical capabilities, which were perfectly suited to the client's needs:
- Exceptional 94% Efficiency: Operating on natural gas, the heater's high efficiency rating ensures minimal energy waste and lower running costs.
- 60% Heat Modulation: This was the crucial feature. The heater can modulate its output down by 60%, allowing it to maintain a very steady temperature without constant on/off cycling. This precision is vital for process heating and delivers significant energy savings compared to standard heaters.
Implementation: Responsiveness and Zero Disruption
Winrow's service went beyond simply supplying a unit. We provided a full installation service that grew with our client's needs.
- Initial Installation: Our engineers installed the first unit with a full understanding of its process-critical role, ensuring it delivered the stable environment CVS required.
- Rapid Expansion Support: When CVS contacted us again 6 months later, their satisfaction with the first phase led them to request an identical setup. Demonstrating our agility and commitment to client success, we had the second heater fully installed within one week.
- Zero Business Interruption: The installation for the new production area was meticulously planned and executed, resulting in no downtime or interruption to the ongoing business operations at Control Valves Solutions.
The Outcome: Supporting Quality, Growth, and Efficiency
Our partnership with Control Valves Solutions has yielded significant, tangible results:
- Ensured Product Quality: The heaters provide the stable temperature control essential for CVS's specialist paint process, directly supporting their high standards of quality.
- Enabled Rapid Growth: Our ability to install the second unit within a week allowed CVS to get their new production line operational without delay.
- Delivered Significant Cost Savings: The combination of 94% efficiency and intelligent heat modulation drastically reduces energy consumption and running costs.
- Forged a Trusted Partnership: What began as a simple online transaction has become a strong working relationship, with Winrow established as a reliable partner for CVS's critical infrastructure needs.
