Success Story
Heat Exchanger Helps Langley Memorial Hospital Keep the Domestic Hot Water Flowing
Langley Memorial Hospital is a government-funded acute care facility in the Township of Langley British Columbia that is owned and operated by Fraser Health Authority.
Mark Gushulak, Chief Engineer at Langley Memorial Hospital had a Hot Water Tank that had been operating successfully since the mid 1960’s providing years of trouble free service. Inspection revealed cracks starting in the shell and a project was initiated to replace the tank. A call was made to Andrew Reynolds to supply an Instantaneous Domestic Hot Water Heater capable of handling the same flow. A turn-key quote was provided that involved removal of the old tank, reconstruction of the tank mezzanine level and installation and commissioning of the new hot water heater. Included in the design was a steam powered condensate pump that returns the condensate back to the boiler.
This successful solution has been in operation for many years now and is once again providing Langley Memorial Hospital trouble free domestic hot water service. Mark Gushulak reports we are very pleased with the installation and there may be an opportunity in the future for another instantaneous domestic hot water heater.

Install Removable Insulation on Valves and Fittings
During maintenance, the insulation that covers pipes, valves, and fittings is often damaged or removed and not replaced. Valves and fittings that are not insulated can be large sources of heat loss. Removable and reusable insulating pads are available to cover almost any surface. The pads are made of a non-combustible inside cover, insulation material, and a non-combustible outside cover that resists tears and abrasion and are oil resistant.
