A Company Well Connected
With winter approaching, the Royal Edinburgh Hospital identified the need to replace a failing hot water system in one of its wards. The existing system had become unreliable, expensive to maintain, and increasingly difficult to repair due to a lack of spare parts. HF’s Mechanical Engineers were brought in to design and install a new, energy-efficient solution that would meet the hospital’s demand reliably throughout the colder months.
With winter fast approaching, our Mechanical engineers were called into specify a new hot water system to suit the needs of this specific ward within Royal Edinburgh Hospital.
Their existing system had developed a fault and it had become apparent that the system was in need of an upgrade and no longer economically viable to run. A lack of parts, worsening reliability and high repair costs meant that it no longer made financial sense to maintain the system. The Hospital had been operating on one unit for the majority of the summer and the client needed to ensure that demand would be met throughout the approaching winter. The decision was made to replace the old system with a brand new hot water system.
After consultation and listening to what our client needed, we turned to well known brand ACV who assisted us with selecting the right option for the hospital which was for two water Master Evo 45 water boilers. These units were specified because they offered the following features which helped meet the clients specific specifications.
The old hot water system was safely removed and recycled and the new system was installed with all related piping, lagging and control system also fitted. The new hot water system will not only be more reliable but also run more efficiently. This will help to reduce the hospitals energy costs for many years to come.
Project Challenges: One of the challenges that our engineers had to overcome during the installation process was ensuring that the downtime associated with the project was kept to a minimum. Our experience of working in ‘live’ working environments such as this proved invaluable to the successful installation and with careful planning and the fantastic efforts of our attending engineers this was achieved with ease . The client now has a fully functioning and reliable hot water system that has full ACV product support and an extended 5 years warranty. They can look forward to a functional and economical hot water system for years to come.
