Steam and Condensate Systems for Hospitals

Steam knowledge, skills and expertise for your hospital

As an independent specialist in steam, condensate and hot water systems, many NHS hospitals like yours are taking increasing advantage of the expert advice we provide.

Save Energy, Save Money

With focus on steam such a critical yet overlooked utility in hospitals, issues with these systems will regularly exist. Simple problems, if left unidentified, have a detrimental effect on performance, energy efficiency and cost. With steam distribution systems being difficult to manage and a distinct lack of specialists available to carry out the work, this is often the case.

To maximise the efficiency of your steam systems Valveforce will:

  • Assess the current situation of your plant
  • Identify areas for improvement
  • Recommend energy savings solutions
  • Comprehensive steam traps surveys
  • Provide technical advice
  • Carry out energy audits
  • Offer turnkey installations
  • Provide the most effective products
  • Carry out ongoing commissioning
  • Provide engineering support

The Diagram

Our product range in this area is boiler control equipment such as level, TDS and blowdown systems, pressurised de-aerator plant, severe service control valves, turbine bypass valves and de-superheating stations, combustion efficiency and monitoring, heat recovery, flue gas recovery and water treatment.

Maximise your Condensate Recovery

The heat and energy contained within your condensate is valuable. To ensure that the maximum amount of this valuable commodity is returned to your feedtank Valveforce are here to help. In addition to the supply of steam traps and condensate recovery sets, we also offer steam trap surveys to highlight energy savings and then carry out any remedial work necessary.

Increase the Accuracy of your Heat Exchangers and Temperature Controls

Just as with steam systems, hot water and how it is controlled is a vital utility in any hospital. Without regular testing and ongoing maintenance on high limit over temperature shut off devices, you could be putting your employees and visitors at risk of potential hazards. For this reason, an increasing number of hospital engineers are finding our specialist knowledge, hot water services and range of products invaluable.

  • Control loops around LTHW shell
  • Tube heat exchangers
  • DHW storage calorifiers

In the boiler house we:

  • Investigate feedwater conditioning
  • Supply boiler feedtanks and Deaerator plant
  • Provide water treatment equipment, such as softening or RO plant
