This large medical health center is located in the heart of Kansas City, MO and provides comprehensive care to patients from Kansas City and the seven surrounding counties. It also serves as an academic and research center for the University of Missouri-Kansas City. In January 2004, the facility moved into a new 230,000 square foot, 5 storey building. It currently operates 133 adult beds beds, 5 group homes and an apartment program in the community.

The Challenge

The hospital’s current water heating equipment was very outdated and was running on borrowed time. The facility’s managers knew they needed an easy, efficient replacement. They were also looking for equipment that was easy to maintain and didn’t require the constant upkeep that their current system demanded.

The Intellihot Solution

Intellihot’s plug-and-play features allowed for a quick installation of six iQ1000’s using the existing hookups for an easy, drop-in solution. Each unit employs 4, self-descaling heat exchangers for a combined turndown ratio of 200:1 with little annual maintenance requirements.
