The use of diesel steam boiler in Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah has decrease in
efficiency caused by the fluctuation of diesel price in Malaysia and environmental
pollution from the by-products of the diesel combustion. This research has set upon
to study the feasibility of the conversion from diesel steam boiler to electric steam
boiler. In order to complete this research, three steps are carried out. First, steam
boiler analysis is done and the steam generation in HSNZ was evaluated obtained from
characteristics and data usage of instruments in the premise. Second, is the analyzing
of the consumption of diesel fuel which concludes that diesel cost increases over time
and so does the maintenance cost. Lastly, engineering the economic feasibility analysis
of the electric boiler which will determine whether it is practical for the hospital to
execute the conversion as proposed.
