Rediseño del Sistema de Distribución de Vapor del Área de Lavandería del Hospital Carlos Andrade Marín de la Ciudad de Quito

Abstract

In this project, it proposes to redesign the steam distribution and condensate return systems in the hospital laundry area. During the development of project has been conducted the gathering information of the different requirements of steam consumer equipment, piping layout of the current system and energy deficiencies. For the redesign, it has been implemented upward connections to equipment, drain pockets and line endings, thus guarantying that condensate does not get into consumer equipment and water hammer does not damage pipes. The drained condensate of the steam lines and output arrangements trapping consumer equipment, previously of going to condensate tank, it pass through the flash tank were it gets low pressure flash steam, that can be used in another process with this requirements. The project cost was determined and it has been conducted an economic analysis, taking into consideration the economic-energetic saving that will be obtained with the redesign implement, as well as the CO2 emissions reduction.
