Back at the turn of the millennium, modular steam boiler systems that help reduce energy costs by distributing demand across a number of smaller units were a relatively new concept in the American market. Industrial-size steam boilers that could go from a cold start to ready in five minutes were somewhat unheard of. When Greenwich Hospital in Greenwich, Conn., decided that it was time to build a new steam- generation plant, they considered this concept not only for its huge energy- savings potential, but also for its lower greenhouse gas emission rating. The hospital decided to implement a Miura EX-100BHP steam boiler because of its compact design, which required half the space of a tra- ditional fire-tube configuration and, as a result, cost less to install. The design allowed the extra space to be used for important clinical functions. In 1998, Greenwich Hospital chose a multiple installation configuration of seven Miura EX-200BHP boilers to provide steam for the hospital’s heat, hot water and sterilization systems. Twelve years later, advancements in boiler technology—and the ad- dition of a micro-turbine-based co-generation plant, which changed Greenwich Hospital’s steam-load profile—made it possible for the hospital to further decrease its energy consumption with additional fine-tuning of its steam-generation output. The move, which increases economy and further reduces emissions, consisted of removing one of the hospital’s Miura EX-200BHP units and replacing it with a new Miura EX-100BHP unit. This substitution allowed Greenwich Hospital to more a new, smaller capacity boiler aided Greenwich Hospital in saving 20% in energy exactingly dial-in on demand and bring only the needed capacity online. costs. Photo: Miura Boiler “We have been using a multiple installation of modular Miura boil- ers for about 12 years,” said Stephen Carbery, vice president, facilities, design and construction at Greenwich Hospital. “When we first installed these boilers, modularity was a new concept for us and, as with any new wasting energy. To eliminate that situation, technology, there was a learning curve. But, once the new system was the hospital increased the system’s flexibility installed and optimized, we could really see the value of being able to to allow it to meet demand increases in 100 switch boilers on and off as needed instead of having large units idling in BHP, instead of 200 BHP, increments.

Currently, we have calculated that the Miura system is saving us advantage of this arrangement is evident for approximately 20% on our energy costs compared with the fuel economy demands such as 425BHP. of other comparable systems.” “With the addition of the 100 BHP unit Miura boilers have the ability to go from a cold start to a full head of into our system, we can now make even finer steam in five minutes or less. By heating smaller quantities of water in adjustments to our steam output and reduce its once-through fin-tube design, the boilers can eliminate lengthy start- the amount of fired, but unused capacity,” up times necessary to heat large volumes of water in larger boilers that said Carbery. “Basically, why fire 600 BHP mostly idle in stand-by mode to stay ready.
