Hospital's Boiler Upgrade Takes a Page from the Past
Back in 1997, when Greenwich Hospital in Greenwich, Connecticut, broke ground on a new building, the plan was to build it in two phases, a concept that meant rethinking the installation of two very large steam boilers.
“Space was at a premium since the sterilization facility adjacent to the boiler plant required more space,” said Steven Slusarz, chief plant operator, Greenwich Hospital. “That meant the two large boilers that were part of the original plans no longer worked since they required a great deal of space for pulling tubes and general maintenance.”
