St George’s Hospital in Tooting is
reported to be saving £45,000 per
year by upgrading the heating and
hot water systems in one of its plant
rooms to Spirax EasiHeat plate heat
exchanger packages.

Five EasiHeat systems now serve
the Lanesborough wing of the 1000-
bed hospital. Three provide heating
and two deliver domestic hot water
in a duty/standby arrangement.

Heating was previously provided by
three shell-and-tube calorifiers, while
four more calorifiers provided hot
water. The subsequent £45,000
savings are a combination of
improved energy efficiency and
reduced maintenance.
