Heat exchanger upgrade cuts Leighton hospital’s water heating costs by 15%.

Clean steam generators boosts steam quality standards at Waterford regional hospital.

Switching to EasiHeat™ delivers 15% energy savings at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

Plate heat exchangers from Spirax Sarco are saving energy, reducing maintenance costs and improving the comfort of patients at Leighton Hospital.

If you were asked what the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions were, it's unlikely that the world's healthcare system would be high up the list. But that's not the case. Being something that's universally needed, it has a significant impact. 

I know that pursuing specialist training can be a time-consuming process, so it’s important that you know that the courses you’re undertaking are brought to you by field-experts, with years of industry experience in steam systems behind them – after all, when you invest the time, you want to receive the very best in training.

Four common healthcare challenges and their cost effective solutions

The upgrade to Spirax Sarco’s EasiHeat™ steam-to-hot-water solutions and Reverse Osmosis (RO) system in ten plant rooms helped this acute hospital reduce energy and maintenance costs. 

Steam provides the most reliable and efficient method of achieving effective sterilisation. It is a simple, fast and safe way to disinfect reusable equipment, but in order to be as effective as possible and reduce the potential risk of wet packs or extended sterilisation cycle times, a continuous supply of high-quality clean and dry steam is required. Compliant with major European and international standards, Spirax Sarco UK has developed a clean steam generator, designed specifically to deliver a consistent and reliable sterilisation process.

Members of The Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (IHEEM) will now be able to take advantage of industry-leading training for steam systems as part of a new partnership. 

The supply of a new, energy-saving heating and hot water system for Kettering General Hospital, played a critical role in getting government funding for the project.
