The Heat Exchange

Thank you to everyone who participated in Name That Part on our social media pages! We had a lot of great responses, and are excited to post the results...

The Wilkinson Companies is excited to announce several staff changes.

Field associates that install, maintain and service boilers, burners, pumps and controls know that they need to take certain safety precautions in the boiler room. Boilers are typically gas and oil-fired or electric closed vessels that heat water or other liquid to generate steam and/or hot water. The steam can be superheated under pressure and used for power, heating or other industrial purposes. Though boilers are equipped with a pressure relief valve(s), if the boiler fails to contain the expansion pressure, the steam energy is released instantly. This combination of exploding metal and superheated steam can be extremely dangerous.

Boilers are often compared to cars. Just as all types of cars and trucks require tunes ups, commercial and industrial boilers also need to be maintained.

Think about the steps you take to maintain your car: regular oil changes, rotating the tires and checking that the radiator has plenty of coolant. As a driver, tending to your vehicle provides a better and safer driving experience and helps you get the most out of your vehicle.

So the question is, why wouldn’t you do the same for a boiler?

Step inside the boiler room at Melrose-Wakefield Hospital. Wilkinson President, Geoff Wilkinson, Jr. visited Justin Ferbert, Director of Engineering for Hallmark Health Systems, to discuss some of the projects and upgrades Wilkinson made to the boiler room.
