Page 5: Project : Power & Fuel consumption - an engineering initiative · NABH accredited Hospital. ... Lack of monitoring of process Indicators Lack of communication To Patients Machine

Why did we choose this project :

To develop awareness on energy conservation among are 3 units.

Develop need of energy conversation pattern within team.

The power consumption was on higher side as compared to other hospitals in the network.

To spread awareness among staff and in the organization for global cause.

• Vertically spread building with 1 basements & 7 floors.

• Terrace used for utility equipment's.

• There is no building on the back side, with view towards Qutab Minar forest area which allows easy cross ventilation.

• Building is made in “U” shape which allows direct sunlight and easy cross ventilation to all area.

• Separate “ 70 TR” chiller for winter season was installed which catered OT’s and ICU’s.

• Cooling tower is at Terrace with all side opened to air without any obstruction at any side.

• Centralized water cooled chilled water plant.

• Water quality is not good. TDS upto 3000 ppm, suspended particles also on the higher side.

• Water treatment plant was not available, filtered water with high TDS & hardness was used for utility operations.

• Infrastructure was very old.• Single glass building which increased the heat load of the building.• No standby cooling tower.• Manual Tap – changer in transformer.• No power saving gadgets like VFD etc weren’t installed to reduce

power consumption.• Getting the staff involved.

De - Merits at the Site

Page 11: Project : Power & Fuel consumption - an engineering initiative · NABH accredited Hospital. ... Lack of monitoring of process Indicators Lack of communication To Patients Machine

• Unable to measure basic parameters like cooling tower in & out temperature, running KW of chiller, approach temp etc.

• All electrical feeders did not have KWH consumption meters, no means to measure power consumption of critical equipment's and individual floors.

NO MEASUREMENT !!!!!

Page 13: Project : Power & Fuel consumption - an engineering initiative · NABH accredited Hospital. ... Lack of monitoring of process Indicators Lack of communication To Patients Machine

We spend in capex and replace our

chiller, cooling towers, install VFD’s etc..

Get an Energy audit done, higher

consultants for energy saving.

What to do???...

We deiced to avoid CAPEX and improve our operations, prevent leakages….

Page 14: Project : Power & Fuel consumption - an engineering initiative · NABH accredited Hospital. ... Lack of monitoring of process Indicators Lack of communication To Patients Machine

• Formed a core team consisting of shift supervisor, electrician & HVAC technician.

• Energy saving committee consisting of doctors, support staff, HK staff was formed.

• Gaps were identified ( as mentioned in Final root cause analysis) and closed on priority basis.

• Demerits and merits of the site were established.

• Each unit team audited other unit and shared there practices. Best practices were followed by each other

• Training was imparted to team and awareness for saving energy was spread.

Way forward

Page 15: Project : Power & Fuel consumption - an engineering initiative · NABH accredited Hospital. ... Lack of monitoring of process Indicators Lack of communication To Patients Machine

• Daily monitoring of power consumption was initiated, reading were taken in each shift and from all critical feeder.

• Temperature & pressure gauges were installed and reading monitored.

Team decided to take target of 5% reduction in power consumption.

Key Consumption Areas

Page 18: Project : Power & Fuel consumption - an engineering initiative · NABH accredited Hospital. ... Lack of monitoring of process Indicators Lack of communication To Patients Machine

• 4 chillers were installed.• 180 TR x 2 no’s for Basement to 5th floor• 75 TR x 2 no’s for OT and 6th floor ( ICU area.)• During peak summer seasons all 4 Chillers were running during

day time.• During winters one chiller each ( 180 TR chiller for operated for

Radiology area and 75 TR for OT & ICU)• 2 cooling tower ( with common header for all 4 plants ) of 300

TR & 200 TR were installed.• With 500 TR cooling tower capacity & 500 TR chiller capacity it

was difficult to maintain head pressure during peak summer season

Actions Taken

Chiller

Page 19: Project : Power & Fuel consumption - an engineering initiative · NABH accredited Hospital. ... Lack of monitoring of process Indicators Lack of communication To Patients Machine

• All 4 chillers were running on approx 80% load.

• As OT’s were hardly operational in night which reduced load on 75 TR chillers, the same way OPD area was not operational in night which reduced the load on 180 TR Voltas chiller.

• Team decided to interconnect both chiller headers.

Page 20: Project : Power & Fuel consumption - an engineering initiative · NABH accredited Hospital. ... Lack of monitoring of process Indicators Lack of communication To Patients Machine

• Header of both Chillers were interconnected and chilled water supply was provided to whole building from all chillers.

• OT and ICU AHU are installed on terrace, when we tried to operate building with 2 x 180 TR and 1x 75 TR we were unable to get required chilled water GPM in OT no. 3 & 4 as they were on other side of the terrace.

• One of the 400 GPM pump of 15 KW was replaced with 600 GPM pump of same motor capacity ( 15KW.)

• During day 75 TR chiller was shutdown, this also helped in maintaining cooling tower temperature.

• During night hours when OT was not running, the whole building load was shifted on 180 TR x 2 chillers.

Page 21: Project : Power & Fuel consumption - an engineering initiative · NABH accredited Hospital. ... Lack of monitoring of process Indicators Lack of communication To Patients Machine

• Chiller approach temp was on higher side.

• There was no mechanism for direct measurement of chiller approach temp, cooling tower outlet temp gauge were installed for measuring approach temp.

• Separate Softener plant was installed for cooling tower water.

• RO reject from Dialysis and CSSD was ( with TDS less than 200 ppm) was used for cooling tower.

• Online TDS meter was installed for monitoring of TDS.

• Chemical dosing of cooling tower was initiated.

Page 22: Project : Power & Fuel consumption - an engineering initiative · NABH accredited Hospital. ... Lack of monitoring of process Indicators Lack of communication To Patients Machine

• Grey area for which we had to run chiller at low temperature were identified. Normally the chiller was operated at 8°C but on some occasions due to requirement and some problematic area we had to run chiller at 6°C.

• OT and other area where low temp was required, the AHU were modified.

• These AHU had 2 coil system, second coil was for hot water was converted into chilled water and hot water, when low temperature ( like 16deg C ) was required chilled water was used in both coils.

• Earlier we were running the building with 500 TR chiller.

• After making the above changes, now the building is running on 430 TR.

• Earlier 4 chilled water pumps were running, after making changes 3 chilled water pumps were running.

• In basement there were 2 AHU of 16000 CFM and motor of 15 KW each.

• During night hours and off peak season the area was more chilled than requirement.

• The AHU were also very old and body was partially damaged.

• Instead of installing 2 AHU of 16000 CFM with VFD and temp controller we installed 4 AHU of 8000 CFM each with each motor of 7.5 KW.

• There are 10 AHU for OT & 6th floor which are installed in terrace, separate console was installed for temperature monitoring ( only temp view) and switching AHU ON/OFF. Earlier technician had to go to respective area now it was controlled from plant room.

• Chilled water pump and cooling tower pump were also connected with the same.

• There were 4 areas which were modified ( room area was reduced) but AHU was same. As these AHU became of higher capacity, there were regular complaints of low temperature in these area. 2 way valve were installed along with temperature controller & indicator.

• Temp indicator was installed in the room and nursing staff controlled temp as per requirement.

• Recycle paper. Re – use paper and take print om both sides.

• Conducted classes for staff to spread awareness about energy conservation.

• Avoid usage plastic bags. Encouraged staff to not to use plastic bags and use jute bags instead.

• Switch off lights, AC and Fans when not in use.• Switch of computer instead of “log off”.• Proper disposal of garbage in bin bags.• Use water saving aerator in taps.

Environmental awareness….
