800-355-7061Mechanical Equipment recently provided a steam-to-domestic hot water solution for CGH Medical Center that saved them money, allowing them to stretch their capital plan dollars even further.
The Challenge:
CGH Medical Center’s existing hot water system consisted of a leaking 2,000-gallon hot water tank, which was tasked with providing domestic hot water to the hospital’s laundry facility. Part of the hospital’s capital plan was to replace and expand their laundry machines, but they needed a dependable hot water solution to satisfy the newly added capacity, that more machines would offer them. Mechanical Equipment gave them the solution they needed!
The Solution:
We worked closely with our Patterson-Kelley engineers to provide a model “PK Compact” instantaneous, double-walled, steam-to-hot water generator. Our P-K Compact eliminated the need for wasting money in a “Band-Aid approach”, trying to fix the old and leaking equipment. The additional benefit was the new P-K Compact hot water heater saved the hospital considerable space in the boiler room, allowing them to easily increase the needed capacity with additional washing machines.
This small, Compact heater produces high hot water output at a closely controlled temperature, making it the ideal water heater for new or existing installations.
The Advantages:
The advantages of the P-K Compact system include:
- Saves valuable floor space
- No overhead room required for service
- Meets hot water requirements in most buildings without the need for additional hot water storage
- Performs equally well with steam, boiler water or high temperature hot water
- Improved valve performance and capacities, configurable to suit customer requirements
These Patterson Kelley instantaneous hot water heaters have a long history of successful use throughout Illinois and the rest of the country and are ideal for hospital applications that have existing steam heating systems.
As with all Patterson Kelley products this compact heater is constructed to have a long life. The shell is constructed of solid 90-10 copper nickel, the premium corrosion-resistant material for potable water service, eliminating potable water contamination.
If you have an application where this product could improve service AND save money, contact Mechanical Equipment for more information regarding these steam-to-hot water instantaneous heaters, or any of our other Patterson Kelley boilers and equipment.
