Steam vs High Temperature water Plant

Steam vs High Temperature water Plant

Steam vs High Temperature water Plant

(OP)
How do you decide which plant is better for the central plant, steam vs hot water plant?

RE: Steam vs High Temperature water Plant

Central plant of what?

How big?

What distances does the (heating fluid ??) have to be sent?
What existing infrastructure do you have? (Tunnels, curbs, pipe bridges, boiler rooms, nothing at all?)
What pipes and heaters ?? will be re-use, or are you going to replace all of them everywhere?
What experience does your staff have with either?
What does your boss want?
What does the contract say the customer wants?

RE: Steam vs High Temperature water Plant

(OP)
I don't have all the information however, I want to evaluate the pros and cons between these two plants. I want to understand why one prefer certain plant over another. Thank you

RE: Steam vs High Temperature water Plant

Then I daresay the questions racookpe1978 posed are some of the ones you'd look for answers to in pursuit of your inquiry.

RE: Steam vs High Temperature water Plant

Lately high temp hot water is a choice when long distances are considered but on many cases steam is still the king. Need te that some plants now are going to thermal fluid as primary heating. Depends on your area, distributors and Mfrs can supply any of he three types. GenrlBlr.
