Factory heating integrates efficiently with process steam

10 August, 2004

Efficient and effective heating of the L’Oreal factory in Wales is being a achieved using a pair of Spirax Sarco steam-to-hot-water heat exchangers using process steam.

Such is the efficiency of two Spirax Sarco EasiHeat engineered systems installed to replace a large boiler providing space heating at the L’Oreal factory in Wales that an installed capacity only a quarter of what was used before is adequate for even the coldest winter days. Each EasiHeat has half the capacity of the old hot-water boiler and is served with steam from the factory’s process steam boilers. Nigel Withers, engineering projects and maintenance manager with L’Oreal, says, ‘We thought we would need to run both EasiHeats in parallel, yet we have been able to keep one on standby all the time.’ Lower maintenance costs are a further advantage. Not only are the EasiHeat units easier to maintain, but they do not required a statutory annual inspection. The compact heat-exchange package delivers hot water at the required temperature and has a matched combination of controls, plate heat exchanger and condensate-removal equipment. enquiries@spiraxsarco.com
