Contractor Name
Joseph Hansen, Hansen Mechanical Inc. Villa Park Illinois
Job Location
Grace Church, Hinsdale, Illinois
Job Description
Removal of a 60-year-old two-pass fire tube boiler and installation of three LGB-6s
Facility & Load Requirement
Church operates only on weekends or during special events with the school being used only during the week. Since the major load was split almost in half conversely, this allowed us to aggressively decrease the maximum BTU consumption from 3.5 million on the fire tube to less than 2 million between the three staged LGBs.
Special Circumstances
The building was built around the original boiler. This made demolition very difficult with the only exit a 36” door at the base of an exterior set of stairs. The LGB was the perfect replacement since we were able to build the boilers in place.
