Case History
CLAYTON remodeled, modernized and updated
a 20 years old steam and hot water system
The Children Psychiatric 200 Beds Hospital “Juan N. Navarro”of the Secretary of Public
Health Secretary located at Southern Mexico, City, provides external and internal attention to
a good number of children with psychiatric problems.
The hospital initiated in the 60s with two small
Clayton Stem Generators. In the 80s, they
installed two 100 BHP Clayton Steam Generators
to provide Steam and Hot Water for Hospital
services, kitchen, laundry and hot water.
With the passing years their operating conditions
changed, the steam demand decreased and the
hot water demand increased. The equipment
accessories and specially the hot water tanks
deteriorated after 25 years of continuous
operation.
New Technology to improve hospital services
The officers of the Hospital invited Clayton to
present a project to meet their present and
projected steam and hot water requirements, to
extend the life of their existing system and meet
the new safety and commission regulations, at a
minimum cost.
Clayton de Mexico proposed a new system which
included the removal of the hot water storage
tanks with the heating exchange system, the
installation of two small Clayton hot water
generators for direct recirculation with an small
hot water tank, the reconditioning of their two
Old Steam Generators and Hot Water Tanks
100 BHP Generators and the installation of a new
automatic volume control Twin Water Softener.
The project proposed was approved and the new
system is un full operation with great operating
savings. Now, a single 100 BHP generator is
required for their steam supply and the hot water
is provided with the Hot Water Generator. The
Clayton 100 BHP Steam Generators were
reconditioned and will continue their efficient
operation providing steam for many more years,
and the complete installation meets the new
safety and emission regulations.
New Presence of the boiler room
The following recommendation was presented to
cover the following important aspects:
1. Retire the corroded hot water tanks definitively.
2. Total rehabilitation of two 100 BHP Steam Generators.
3. Installation of two small new Hot Water Generators
4. Installation of an Automatic Volume Controlled Softener.
5. Hot water direct recirculation through a small tank.
Small tank for direct hot water recirculation
This proposal was welcomed by the
authorities of the Secretary of Health so we
proceeded to start with the job.
The results were more than satisfactory, when
reflected a substantial reduction up to 10 to
20% of the habitual operation expenses.
Joined to the above-mentioned, an important
flexibility of operation was obtained because
it was not necessary to produce steam to

heat the hot water tanks any more, and at the
same time, was reduced the full capacity to.
feed equipment that necessarily uses steam
Now a single generator is able to satisfy their
needs and the other one stay in stand by.
By this way is completely controlled the risk
that the Hospital Unit was left without the
indispensable steam or hot water services
because of an accidental failure or an
unexpected corrective maintenance.
