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.

 

Did You Know?
Flash High-Pressure Condensate to Regenerate Low-Pressure Steam

Low-pressure process steam requirements are usually met by throttling high-pressure steam, but a portion of the process requirements can be achieved at low cost by flashing high-pressure condensate. Flashing is particularly attractive when it is not economically feasible to return the high-pressure condensate to the boiler. Location, and matching availability to use are determining factors for success.

About Us

Client Testimonial

I have worked with Andrew for a number of years on many successful steam heating and condensate recovery projects in the Fraser Health Authority. I have found him to be an excellent resource on steam systems and he is always willing to share his knowledge. He presented a full day seminar on steam topics to our operating engineers which was well received. Andrew has participated in many BC CHES Trade Shows and has also been a guest speaker. I would not hesitate to recommend Andrew to help you with any of your steam system requirements.
