University Hospital Limerick – 19 Bed Ward

Project Snapshot

All-electric, high-efficiency heating and hot water for a new 19-bed ward: underfloor LTHW, dedicated DHW, and AHU coil supply—engineered to cut fossil-fuel use and lower operating carbon.

System at a Glance

  • Heat generation (space & AHU):4 × MasterTherm BA60i inverter heat pumps delivering scalable, low-temperature hot water ideal for UFH and AHU coils.
  • High-temp DHW:2 × MasterTherm AQ60ZHX high-temperature units to ensure reliable, hygienic hot water during peak demand.
  • Controls:Advanced onboard PLC with intelligent load management, zoning, and seamless tie-in to hospital BMS for stable ward-level temperature and air quality control.

Why It Matters (Tech + Impact)

  • CO₂ reduction built-in:Moving from combustion to high-COP, grid-powered heat significantly lowers scope-1 emissions today—and keeps improving as Ireland’s grid decarbonises.
  • SEAI-aligned delivery:Meterable, data-ready plant supports SEAI public-sector reporting and decarbonisation targets, with clear pathways for monitoring, verification, and continuous optimisation.
  • Clinical comfort:Inverter-driven modulation gives quiet, even heat and precise supply-air temperatures—supporting comfort and infection-control strategies.
  • Operational resilience:Modular plant with smart sequencing for duty/assist operation, smooth turndown at part-load, and future-ready expansion.
