As part of a continuous improvement
programme at its off-site
decontamination units, Nuffield
Health has recently installed Fulton
skid-mounted steam boiler packages
with remote monitoring capabilities
at six sites.

Each of the sites contains a skidmounted
package consisting of three
60J boilers plus ancillaries. All 18
boilers are remotely monitored by a
Fulton-designed telemetry system,
which complies with the current
PGS2 standard. The system is
capable of reporting critical alarm
conditions such as primary and
secondary low water, flame failure,
high pressure and high water for
each of the three dual-fuel 60J units
per site; two of which are firing
constantly with one on standby.

The system also monitors signals
from digital and analogue meters for
gas, electric and water supplies and
steam pressure. If a critical alarm
condition is raised, the boilers will
automatically shut down and the
telemetry system will notify Nuffield
site engineers via BT Redcare.
