Project Background
Founded in 1986, Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH) is a member hospital of Northwell Health and one of the major tertiary referral centers in Staten Island, New York City. With two expansive campuses and a total bed capacity of 668, SIUH provides critical healthcare services including emergency care, cardiology, psychiatry, behavioral health, and more.
To enhance sustainability and reduce carbon emissions, SIUH chose BROAD’s Steam-Powered Absorption Chiller to replace its aging YORK chiller system.
Project Highlight
- Chiller Model: BROAD BDS 200
- Cooling Capacity: 500RT
- Heat Source: Steam Boiler
Unlike conventional chillers that depend on electricity or gas, BROAD’s absorption chiller leverages steam generated by the hospital’s existing boiler. This innovation significantly improves energy efficiency while lowering operating costs.
Project Value & Results
✅ Lower Energy Consumption – By using steam instead of electricity or gas, SIUH achieved a major reduction in energy use compared to traditional chillers.
✅ Reduced Carbon Emissions – Controlled steam combustion processes contributed to measurable CO₂ emission reductions.
✅ Cost Savings – Lower energy procurement expenses delivered significant operational savings.
✅ Eco-Friendly & Reliable – The oil-free system enhances sustainability, reduces maintenance, and ensures consistent performance.
✅ Adaptable Infrastructure – Seamlessly integrated with the hospital’s existing steam system, proving the practicality of BROAD technology.
Why It Matters
Hospitals require 24/7 reliable cooling to maintain patient comfort, protect medical equipment, and support critical operations. By adopting BROAD’s sustainable HVAC solutions, Staten Island University Hospital demonstrates that healthcare facilities can:
- Enhance operational efficiency
- Reduce environmental impact
- Ensure long-term cost savings
- Support global efforts for carbon neutrality
Conclusion
This project proves that BROAD Steam-Powered Absorption Chillers are not only effective for industrial and commercial applications but also ideal for healthcare facilities. Staten Island University Hospital sets a strong example of how sustainability and healthcare can go hand in hand.
👉 With BROAD Indonesia, hospitals and healthcare providers across the nation can achieve smarter, greener, and more efficient cooling solutions for a healthier future.
