Interconnection of Chilled Water Plants
Jacobi Hospital faced a modernization program that would over-tax the existing chilled water generation capacity. The Fulcrum team developed a plan to connect the chilled water plants of 3 adjacent buildings in the hospital complex to improve overall operating efficiencies and assist the project team in meeting their budgets.
Benefits include:
- -Over $3M in Capital savings by capturing the full potential of already installed cooling capacity
- -Over $1M annually in energy savings by taking advantage of the optimum machine efficiencies ($/ton-hour), maximizing the uses of free-cooling capacity, reduced annual chilled water generation (ton-hour), and reduced annual maintenance costs.
