How Miura’s Modular Steam Boiler Systems Benefit Universities
Larger universities or college facilities need a dependable steam boiler solution year-round to maintain the required heat in campus buildings and to supply hot water to kitchens and laundries. Miura offers cost-effective steam boiler installations that are reliable, safe, and highly adaptive to a college or university’s fluctuating heating demands.
Eco-friendly Heating Solutions
Many education facilities still use outdated heating solutions that are both costly and unsustainable. Universities and colleges committed to reducing their environmental impact can rely on Miura’s steam boiler solutions to reduce harmful emissions.
A Miura boiler’s compact and low-water-content design means that only the exact amount of water is heated to meet a university’s steam load requirements. Our boilers can produce the same BHP outputs as larger traditional boilers, using much less water and occupying less space, leading to less fuel, water, and energy wastage.
While standard gas-fired boilers have a typical NOx output of 80 ppm, a Miura LX-series steam boiler has a NOx output of about 9 ppm.
Efficient On-Demand Steam Solutions
Our modular water tube boilers are designed to respond quickly to an education facility’s varying heating requirements, leading to greater energy efficiencies.
- Rapid Startups: A Miura water tube boiler can produce steam from a cold startup in under five minutes. It automatically switches to low-fire when the demand for steam reduces.
- Modular Configuration: When placed in series, our boiler units can cycle on and off during peak load times to supply hot steam to heat water or campus buildings whenever necessary. All boiler units can run simultaneously or wait in standby mode with only one boiler running when demand is low.
- Early Detection: Innovative sensors on each boiler unit alert boiler operators to any issues needing attention before they become a problem so boilers are kept running at optimal efficiencies.
Miura’s sophisticated, on-demand boiler technology can achieve in-service efficiencies approximately 20% better than similar boilers, helping universities conserve fuel and energy, saving costs, and lowering CO2 and NOx emissions.
Reliable Steam Supply
Miura’s modular steam boiler systems distribute a facility’s steam load requirements between multiple boiler units, mitigating the risk of a single point of failure. Idle boilers in a system can be automatically turned on to replace units that unexpectedly stop working or need to be taken offline for scheduled maintenance, ensuring minimal interruptions to a facility’s steam supply.
Our EX Gas and Oil Series steam boilers are designed to switch between natural gas, propane, or #2 fuel oil, offering instant onsite backup capacity in the event of fuel curtailments.
Safe and Easy Maintenance and Monitoring
Safety is paramount for universities visited by hundreds of students and staff daily. Miura boiler systems are safe and easy to use, monitor, and maintain, thanks to their low water content, once-through design, and state-of-the-art boiler monitoring technology.
- Low water content: The water tubes inside a Miura boiler use roughly 10 percent of the water found inside a conventional fire tube boiler. This low water content means less stored energy within the pressure vessel, and any issue within the boiler remains localized, lowering the risk of catastrophic failure leading to casualties.
- Remote monitoring systems: Miura’s remote boiler monitoring technology includes Miura Connect. This web-based portal uses the latest Internet of Things (IoT) technology to run real-time diagnostics and track the health of all the connected equipment in a boiler system. Boiler room operators and Miura experts can receive instant text or email notifications from boiler room equipment cautions or alarms to take the necessary steps to prevent damage to boilers or harm to personnel.
- Maintenance safety: A Miura boiler is safe to inspect and maintain. Inspections are highly automated – Miura boilers don’t even have manways or manway covers because technicians never need to climb inside a boiler for routine maintenance or assessments.
Compact and Space-Saving Boiler Systems
A Miura boiler occupies 33% less floor space than a typical firetube boiler, making them ideal for universities looking to replace their extensive and antiquated boiler room systems with a more decentralized and eco-friendly solution that saves space and energy. Miura’s modular steam boiler solutions can easily replace a university’s larger industrial boiler systems without requiring extensions to the existing boiler room.
