Kharkiv: heat back in the lower church

The modular boiler went in on Friday. By Sunday the lower church was at 19°C and the kitchen was serving 300 meals a day again.

Dormition Cathedral, Kharkiv
Kharkiv, Ukraine.

The old plant had been destroyed twice. The replacement is deliberately small, modular and quick to swap: two 120 kW units on quick-release couplings, each able to run the lower church and kitchen alone.

It arrived in three crates and was commissioned in two days. If the building takes another hit, the surviving unit keeps the kitchen running and the damaged one is replaced from a stored spare.

The next phase is the glazing. Blast-resistant units with internal storm panels are in tender now; installation is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. The north wall monitoring array has been live for six weeks and shows no movement.
