[util] Project No. 151069-03 New Academic Building, Boiler Load Test / Thursday, June 10th / 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

[Mary E. Lent]

Additional performance load testing of the New Academic Building boiler system will take place periodically on Thursday June 10, from 8 AM until 5 PM.  The testing requires each of two boilers to be run both independently at varying load capacities up to 100% load capacity. This will generate a significant volume of steam and may be noisy at the point of discharge.  The discharge point is at the south end of the south wing of the hospital behind the maintenance garage.  A silencer (muffler) has been installed to significantly reduce the noise originally expected to be generated.  A steam plume of up to 40' in diameter discharged approximately 30' above street elevation may be experienced.  This will depend on the outside air temperature and output of the boiler.  The steam is softened water vapor and contains no harmful additives or chemicals.

Each boiler will be tested separately.  If additional testing beyond this time period is necessary, follow-up notifications will be sent.

If you have ANY concerns or have further questions regarding this Boiler Load Test, please contact Michael Frey, Facilities Engineering, 315-430-6049 (cell) or via email at freym at upstate.edu.
