Achieving more resilient central plant operations

Siemens helps Northside Hospital achieve more resilient central plant operations

Northside Hospital Forsyth needed to improve the overall resilience and reliability within their central plant, which is essential for delivering high-quality patient care while also reducing energy consumption and utility costs. Ultimately, Siemens recommended the implementation of Demand Flow at both plants alongside the installation of variable frequency drives (VFDs) on all condenser and chilled water pumps, as well as the application of flow meters, differential pressure sensors, power meters, and temperature sensors to support Demand Flow sequences of operation.

If a chiller were to go down, it would be seamless for us to maintain our operations due to the benefits gained from this project. Floods, fire, major equipment issues – these could all be devastating for a hospital. That’s why having N+1 capacity for your critical plant equipment is a goal for many healthcare organizations. We’ve now effectively added chiller capacity through the improvements enabled by Demand Flow.
