JOB TYPE: Central Chilled Water / Steam

Fig. 1- Steam Plant – In 1994, Stoermer Equipment Co. supplied a large Nebraska “A” Type Watertube Boiler to generate 120,000 lb. steam for campus heating. The Unit was designed so that it could be upgraded with a superheater and high pressure trim 750 psi and 750°F steam to generate electric power. In the summer months the boiler and future steam turbine could be run to shave the campus electrical peaks.

Here the boiler is rigged off the over-the-road transport. This rig was over 150 ft. long, steered from both ends, and had over 120 tires on the ground.

Stoermer-Anderson, Inc. has supplied boilers to most major universities in the State of Ohio.

Fig. 2- The New Central Chilled Water Plant will allow the University to more efficiently and more reliably generate chilled water for campus cooling. The University chose the McQuay Dual Compressor Chiller based on superior life cycle cost as compared to other manufacturers.

Marley NC Series Cooling Towers, were provided by Stoermer-Anderson, Inc. on the Ohio University Central Plant.

Marley’s track record with the owner and engineer made the decision an easy one when Marley also proved to be the lowest first cost and lowest life cycle cost tower.

These towers were fabricated using stainless basin and casing construction. Geiger Bros. Erected the towers on top of the New Central Chilled Water Plant.
