Boiler Solutions for Education - Universities

Boilers for Colleges & Universities

Cleaver-Brooks steam and hot water solutions keep university campuses running safely, reliably, efficiently, and sustainably. From generating building heat during the winter months to providing steam for food preparation and laundry services, we can design a system that overcomes your challenges while achieving your financial and sustainability goals.

How Do I Convert My Boiler to Natural Gas?

Cleaver-Brooks can modernize a university boiler system in two ways. First, it can retire the coal- or oil-fired equipment and replace it with a watertube, firetube or series of condensing hydronic systems. Second, it can convert the burner and upgrade the controls of an older system to burn natural gas. Either way, safety and reliability will increase, and emissions and operating costs will significantly decrease.

Our engineers can overcome the challenges of installing a new system for a boiler room from a bygone area. For example, our engineers have designed a system to fit inside a 1950s-era boiler room when three-pass boilers were standard. They also have vented boilers horizontally instead of vertically in tall plants to save on installation costs.

How Can My Facility go Off the Grid?

Many universities see a significant advantage in moving away from the local electrical grid, especially when there are interruptions in power during severe winter weather.

Cogeneration enables a university to supply a majority of their campus electrical needs while also providing an efficient, reliable steam supply. Cleaver-Brooks offers a variety of HRSG solutions to achieve this goal.
