OVERVIEW:
A major system failure in the hotel’s domestic hot water system would have major financial impact on the hotel’s revenue, and the failure required a solution that would prevent future recurrence.
The hotel had a storage style design with very large tanks which leads to major waste storing water at elevated temperatures. There are two (2) different pressure zones in the building at 150# on the first four floors, and 300# above with a total of 10,000 MBH load continuous every morning between 5:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.
SOLUTION
Stark’s boiler team experts recommended changing to instantaneous hot water system and got production started on skids in a matter of weeks.
The solution brought in only two (2) boilers initially and included:
- Three (3) Futera XLF 5000s
- Armstrong Brain mixing valves
- Schneider Electric controls with touch screen interface
RESULTS:
Added in 1,000 gallon tank that kept water hot, instead of two 10,000 gallon tanks. All new equipment fit on the pad of the failed boiler that was demolished.
