Time to ChangeOut that Boiler?

U.S. C&I Boiler Inventory

47% are 40 plus yrs old76% are 30 plus yrs old

Advancements in Boiler

Technologies

• Modular Boilers• High Efficiency Boilers• Linkage-Less Controls

5

Several steam or hot water modular boilers replace one large boiler that operates much of the time at low efficiencies

High fuel-to-steam/hot water efficiencies are maintainedover wide variations of load

Added benefits:

Low space and weight requirements

Rapid start-up

Rapid response to changes in steam demand

High steam quality

Reduced emissions

Reduced blow-down

Modular BoilersSave $$ by Improving

Your In-Service Efficiency

Compact Boiler Save Space and Provide Flexibility

High Efficiency Boilers: One Example

• Hinged Premix Burner

with Metal Fiber Head

• Full Modulation (5:1 Turndown)

• Efficiencies up to 98%

• Single Pass - Down Fired Design

• Fully Condensing Design

• No minimum flow requirements.

• No minimum return

Tankless Water Heaters

Have no storage tank

Heat water on demand

Higher first cost but theylast three times longer

No standby-losses from the tankprovide energy savings

High efficiency: 97+%

Customers like both the ‘look’ and thespace-saving features!

19

What Makes Tankless Water Heaters Green?*

They reduce energy consumption by up to 40% because you heat water only on demand.

They can save water by heating water quicker and because they can be placed close to fixtures, reducing time for hot water to arrive.

They can reduce your carbon footprint with better energy efficiency and lower gas emissions.

They reduce waste and material usage by being much smaller than traditional hot water tanks and they last 3 times longer.

They have many recyclable parts, including copper and steel core components.

Optimum Humidity Levels

40% to 50%

23

Advantages of Humidifiers Inhibits respiratory infections and allergy-related

illnesses

Contributes to health and comfort of building occupants and eliminates static electricity

Reduces employee absenteeism; increases productivity

Protects expensive computers, equipment, furnishings and supplies

Precise humidity control for manufacturing and preservation of artifacts

Reduce Influenza!

24

Dehumidification

Proper humidity levels help control grow of bacteria and mold and can reduce the spread of viruses

Winter dryness causes cracked lips, dry skin, and bloody noses

People feel more comfortable at proper humidity levels

Save energy required for cooling

Helps reduce/eliminate the need for sub-cooling and re-heating

25

…and Specifically for Restaurants

Dehumidification

• Reduces growth of disease-causing microbes

• Controls odors, mold and mildew

• Eliminates condensation and prevents damage

to furnishings, carpeting, tiles, and other

building materials

• Increases diner, employee, and chef comfort
