Spirax Sarco has delivered a project to provide the steam for heating, hot water, humidification, and laundry services, at the New South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland.
Appointed by building services contractor, Mercury Engineering, it also provided the controls to manage the steam feeding the hospital’s CHP plant. Spirax Sarco designed the steam system, undertook project management, and supplied the equipment. The hospital runs two biomass boilers to drive the CHP generation plant, while two oil-fired steam boilers running at 8 bar g generate steam for low-temperature hot water for heating, and domestic hot water for handwashing, bathing, cleaning, laundry services, and humidification. Alongside providing all the peripheral equipment to support the CHP engine, Spirax Sarco designed, fitted, and commissioned, 11 plant rooms, 27 air handling units, boiler controls, heat exchangers, and all the associated equipment to establish an efficient energy distribution system.
