The
Client |
|
The
Scottish Rites Cathedral, located in downtown Peoria, Illinois, is a
1100 - seat capacity cathedral and multi-purpose facility that
provides a theatre for the Performing Arts, in addition to complete
dinner and dining facilities. Many area organizations use this
wonderful 1920’s building for a wide variety of activities.
|
|
The Problem |
-
Severely
outdated, structurally unsound, 1920’s era,
locomotive style boilers.
-
Old, and
equally outdated, 1949 vintage, Ray burners
-
Maintenance personnel diversification, requires
better automation
|
|
The
Scottish Rites Cathedral's, steam requirements were
fulfilled by two Kewanee, locomotive style, fire-tube boilers, which had far
outlived their efficient and safe operating life. In 1949 the boilers were
fit with new Ray oil burners, which were later converted to natural gas, as
this service became available.
|
|
Summary : Extremely wide
seasonal load swings, boiler waterside vessel failure and burner head
overheat failure and lead-lag system that has been abandoned. |
