Propuesta de implementación de una auditoría energética al proceso de generación y distribución de vapor del Hospital General Manuel Ygnacio Monteros, perteneciente al Instituto Ecuatoriano de Seguridad Social, ubicado en la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The objects audited in residential buildings are usually similar and of simple technologies, not being the case of a hospital where these are complex and highly technical systems that consume energy directly. The Steam Generation process in Hospitals is used for drying linen, cooking food, sterilizing instruments and surgical supplies, and for the production of Sanitary Hot Water. Therefore, the present work was developed with the objective of evaluating the energy performance of the steam generation and distribution process of General Manuel Ygnacio Monteros, through the application of the Energy Audit based on the Standard EN 16247 -2 Buildings and complemented with the standard EN 16247 -3 Processes.The results show the amount of energy consumed for steam generation and the amount of steam consumedin the industrial threads, it also shows the state of the energy generating / consuming equipment and the state of the facilities, generating a set of improvement opportunities. to achieve energy efficiency in the process.
