This is a dramatic Before and After. This facility had an old cast-iron boiler that was only 65% efficient. It was constantly breaking down and had recently started leaking water onto the floor. It was also a 1,600,000 BTU boiler! We knew that heating capacity was ridiculous as soon as we saw the boiler and the space it needed to heat. A careful analysis of the heating load showed the facility could be heated with only 500,000 BTUs. The last heating installer was only off by 1,100,000 BTUs (this crazy stuff happens all the time).
The facility trustees wisely settled on a modular approach for replacement. We installed (3) Bradford-White 95% efficient Brute boilers each with a 199,000 BTU input. They can each run as low as 20,000 BTUs. An outdoor sensor and boiler water sensor talk to the boilers and tell them how hot to make the water based on how cold it is outside. The boilers then ramp up or down to achieve that set point. Can you image the savings this facility is going to have in the coming years?! What a beautiful difference.
