Equipment Details

Maxi-therm DMCU Vertical Instantaneous Duplex Heat Exchanger Package

The Butterfly is an iconic 56-storey tower, design inspired by church organ pipes, with 294 residential units from 1 to 3 bedrooms, open garden courts, café, restaurant, fitness room and swimming pool located in downtown Vancouver. The towers are connected to the Downtown Vancouver district energy plant, owned, operated and maintained by Creative Energy.

This Maxi-therm Steam to Water Heat Exchanger System will provide clean, reliable, and affordable heating to the new LEED Gold, Revery Architecture Inc. designed tower and serve as an expansion node with up to 18MW of future capacity. This will enable our low-carbon district energy system to meet the needs of future residents in South Downtown and the West End neighborhoods.

The Maxi-therm Steam to Water Heat Exchanger operated in a lead-lag configuration. Meaning one, or both units can operate in parallel depending on the steam load. Two heat exchangers also provide redundancy should one of the heat exchangers need servicing. Maxi-therm provides an OEM control package with each of their skid systems, allowing for connection to owner controls and remote support and monitoring from the factory.
