Energy boost for NHS boiler house
October 1st 2006

An advanced automation system and upgraded boiler controls has led to one of the NHS's largest boiler houses achieving up to 15% energy savings, claims Spirax Sarco.

As a result, St George's hospital in South London now also has a more reliable steam supply and improved on-site maintenance. Not to mention increased CCL exemption.

Several other energy saving measures were undertaken during the project including: improved flowmetering; a detailed steam system survey and steam trap refurbishment programme; the installation of boiler blowdown heat recovery and deaerator head on the boiler feedtank.

Principal engineer at the hospital, Shane King, says he is thankful the Trust recognised the savings to be made and gave the go ahead prior to recent energy price hikes:"I dread to think what position we would have been in if we hadn't undertaken this work."
