Repair Water Heater System With Passive Solar Hot Water Heat Shellbank Gym F. 226 Project Muhj16-4070

The gymnasium is comprised of a basketball arena, extensive weight and aerobic training facilities, half-olympic size pool, indoor track, and 50 individual showers. Approximately 400 to 750 showers are taken daily. The current 15-year old natural gas fired hot water heating system is comprised of two oversized boilers. One boiler supports the changing room showers, clothes washing, and building heating during moderate spring and autumn temperatures. Originally, the second boiler only supported the heating of the swimming pool. Heating of the swimming pool is conducted approximately once a week. The current boilers are alternated during the summer months to extend their useful life. Both boilers are operated in December and January when colder temperatures and increased gymnasium use requires the use of both boilers. The proposed solar hot water heating system is intended to supplement the existing hot water boilers which will be retained.
