JDRM developed a concept for complete system implementation. JDRM evaluated and determined a long-term system master plan. We designed a building to accommodate a final generation system plan. The infrastructure (piping, electrical, controls, etc.) was updated to accommodate final system installation in phased implementation.
Mechanical system design was in accordance with the long-term physical system design; appropriate piping accommodations were made for future equipment installation. The design incorporated an energy recovery boiler producing 125 psi steam for introduction into the existing campus steam distribution system. Generator & Boiler design and selection criteria included the evaluation and selection of co-generation equipment options for financial analysis (pay back calculations) as well as physical layout requirements impacting building and infrastructure design were concepts developed for future implementation. System selection was based on natural gas driven equipment with associated exhaust gas energy recovery equipment, boilers, piping, etc. System selection designed with appropriate controls and monitoring integrated into the existing hospital building automation system(s). Interactions with natural gas utility were necessary for appropriate service to equipment. Data was gathered of existing steam usage to establish an annual usage profile required to complete system analysis and selection. The piping designs and all necessary system interconnection between the steam boilers and existing powerhouse steam, condensate, water, systems, etc.
The electrical design was in accordance with long-term physical system design; appropriate electrical accommodation was made for future equipment installation (Phase 3). The design incorporated delivery of electrical power from the generation system at 12,470 volts and connection into the existing hospital electrical distribution system. The design was routed with medium voltage feed from GSB building to hospital basement. New emergency switch gear, along with emergency power distribution to six (6) emergency power ATSs. Coordinated the transfer of power and monitoring from decommissioned penthouse generators to medium voltage GSB generators.
Additional design included electrical service an automatic transfer scheme for each of the hospital feeders to permit the ‘introduction’ of emergency power and co-generated power into the existing hospital electrical distribution system. Electrical service to Dowling Hall was relocated to the existing Hospital 12,470-volt feeder(s). JDRM reviewed and modified the existing hospital emergency electrical distribution system, generators, transfer scheme, fuel system(s), etc. were required to incorporate new emergency generators and distribution into the existing emergency electrical system. Data was gathered of existing electrical usage in hospital patient care areas to establish an annual usage profile required to complete system analysis and selection.
