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.

Benchmark the Fuel Cost of Steam Generation

Benchmarking the fuel cost of steam generation, in dollars per 1,000 pounds ($/1,000 lb) of steam, is an effective way to assess the efficiency of your steam system. This cost is dependent upon fuel type, unit fuel cost, boiler efficiency, feedwater temperature, and steam pressure. This calculation provides a good first approximation for the cost of generating steam and serves as a tracking device to allow for boiler performance monitoring.
