Cure for high heating bills
May 1st 2010 A compact Spirax Sarco EasiHeat
steam-to-hot water system is being
used to help Harrogate Hospital save
energy and improve patient comfort
in its hydrotherapy unit. Delivering
improved heat recovery, temperature
and humidity control, the scheme is
expected to save £2000+ per year in
heating bills, as well as almost 300t of
CO2 emissions over the 15-year life of
the plant.
The EasiHeat system provides hot
water to an integrated Calorex Delta
10 unit, which controls both the
temperature of the pool and the
temperature and relative humidity of
the air in the hydrotherapy and
swimming pool. The Calorex system
incorporates heat exchangers, an air
handling unit and a heat pump. The
heat pump recovers energy from
excess moisture in the air above the
pool to provide up to 25% of the
heating energy needed in the pool
room. The rest is provided by hot
water from the EasiHeat system. More articles from Spirax Sarco Ltd: |
