1.2 Long Terms: Energy which is not measured cannot be monitored.

Energy metering for measuring the different types of energy i.e. electrical, Diesel, natural gas,
water to be installed at the installation for effective utilization of energy.

SUMMARY OF SAVINGS POTENTIAL

2.1 The electrical load in day-time and evening does not justify running 200 KVA and 500 KVA power
transformers at a time. The peak load during day time will just cater to 43.8% of the safe loading of

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 3

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

500 KVA power Transformer. Higher loading on power transformer improves the electrical parameter
in the distribution circuit.

2.2 New avenue should be found out, so that out-side Hospital loads (in the vicinity) can be connected
to the transformer, thereby increasing its loading and efficiency level and to reduce core and winding
losses per KVA load basis.

2.3 The captive D.G. Set should be run on regular basis and to increase electrical load on it upto 320 KW.
At present, the mechanical and electrical performances deserve special attention and maintenance.
Though, in want of high speed diesel consumption pattern for last one year, no conclusion could be
drawn, but the physical inspection leads to infer that with improved physical and electrical loads,
specific fuel consumption will be reduced.

2.4 In Hospital, where 95% loads are single phase loads, high unbalance of the loads among the phases
have been observed along with high current passing through the neutral. With proper balancing of
load, not only sufficient electrical energy can be saved, but will improve the electrical parameters
along and across the Hospital also.

2.5 There have been 65 Window Air Conditioners installed at various corners of the Hospital, out of
which, 61 have already been decided to be replaced. Testing was conducted on the balance. They
need immediate preventive maintenances to improve their efficiency and electric consumption.

2.6 It is suggested that in future, only 5-star rated window or split A.C. should only be installed.

2.7 The present system of individual window A.C.s at the chambers of the doctors and executive wards
may also be replaced by a centralized ‘High Ventilation Air Conditioner’ with outlet for cooling air at
every room through the pipelines.

2.8 Over-hauling should be initiated for the compressor and pumps of package Air Conditioner (C.T. scan
Room) to improve their efficiency level and to reduce specific energy consumption level. Cool air
vents at the passage/store attached with machine room should be plugged and the door should be
properly closed.

2.9 All conventional tube light fittings (of 36 watt with conventional electro-magnetic chokes) can be
replaced by more energy efficient T-5 fittings. Proper light fittings should be provided in the court-

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 4

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

yard of the Hospital. Modern LED based fittings can be used in place of energy consuming HPSV
bulbs.

2.10 Old ceiling fans of weight should be replaced by more energy efficient and lighter ceiling fans in
offices and wards of the Hospital.

2.11 Uncontrolled gas supply for heating of water should be regulated at a central point with the
provision of meter at certain strategic points. No figure regarding the energy savings and monetary
involvement can be calculated right now in want of consumption data during summer and window
spell.

PREAMBLE TO THE REPORT

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 5

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

3.1 The name of M/s Oil India Limited (OIL) is synonymous with the dawn of oil exploration in India.

Since the discovery of oil fields in Digboi area in 1889 in far-east segment of present state of Assam,

the oil exploration in India had totally been shadowed by British private oil companies. In 1959, a

private-public joint venture between the Govt of India and Burmah Oil Company Limited, in the form

of a new company, Oil India Limited, was born to take over entire range of field study, infrastructure

development and oil and gas exploration in Assam. In 1981, the joint venture became a fully-owned

enterprise of Govt of India. Since then, OIL is the national oil company in the endeavour of

exploration, production and development of crude oil and natural gas in Assam, one of the major

reserves for crude oil and natural gas in India.

3.2 At present, OIL is engaged in exploration of crude oil and natural gases through 189 wells, spread

over various parts of north-eastern India, other than Rajasthan, where it is engaged in exploration of

natural gas. OIL’s exploration activities has spread over other corners of the country, namely, KG

basin, Mahanadi Basin in Odisha, Couvery basin in A.P., Andaman basin and Gujarat-Kutch basin.

New vistas of oil exploration are discovered further with the sole mission of making the country self-

sufficient in the era of crude oil and natural gas production.

3.3 At present, a part of promoter’s stake has enlisted in secondary market, limiting the holding of Govt

of India to 78.43%.

3.4 OIL is having its field head-quarter at Duliajan in Dibrugarh district of Assam, around 44 Kms from

the district head-quarter. The entire town of Duliajan is the result of the activities of OIL. Major

infrastructures have been developed by OIL single handedly and their maintenances are still being

carried out by OIL. One such service providing facility, rendered in the field of medical services, is OIL

hospital, located within the township of Duliajan. The 190-bedded hospital, fully equipped with

modern facilities and manned by expert medical professionals and technicians.

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 6

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

3.5 The hospital is having its own male and female medical and surgical units with two well-modernized

operation theatres. Average occupancy rate is 75%. The out-door patients department attends the

patients from 7:00 to 11:00 in the morning, extended upto 2:00 in the afternoon incase of extended

and solicited services. There are other specialized services and facilities, like trauma service, burn

unit, isolation ward for disease through contamination, executive ward for OIL executives, etc.

METHODOLOGY OF AUDIT

5.1 At the current lap of the modernization, the driving force is the energy, in the forms of direct fuel or
electricity. Since our country is lacking is sufficient reserves in the field of solid, liquid and gaseous
fuels, major parts of the same are to be imported, leading to draining out of the forex reserve. When

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 10

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

the existing reserve of the solid fuel is depleting faster, the reserves of crude oil and natural gas are
either yet to be identified, or cannot be tapped due to non-availability of required technology. On
the other hand, major portion of electricity generation in our country in thermal (64.7%), is
generated by burning coal (53.3% of generation), gas (10.5% of generation) and oil (0.9% of
generation). Higher consumption of fossil fuel directly, or indirectly by more consumption of
electricity, ultimately leads one to fast depletion in indigenous reserves or more import bill.

5.2 Energy audit is a comprehensive measure for the areas where thermal or electrical energy are
extensively used. It ultimately leads one to identify the grey area, necessitating more attention for
either the reduction of consumption, or replacement of existing system by more energy efficient
gadgets.

5.3 Keeping the macro-objective in the mind, the methodology of energy audit and its field exercises
have been derived. The step-by-step actions followed in the totality are summarized :

5.3.1 Study of the system and its energy utilization,

5.3.2 Measurement of electrical parameters at major electrical installations (including the captive
power plant),

5.3.3 Comparison between the measured data and standard designed parameters to identify the areas
for further study or major action to be taken,

5.3.4 Measurement of electro-mechanical parameters at major thermo-electrical installations to

identify their current efficiency level, and need for further study and improvement,

5.3.5 Comparative study of the level of necessity and current availability, vis-à-vis, energy available/
utilized and optimum utilization level to be achieved.

5.4 All mechanical parameters, so calculated or found out, are compared with standard bench-mark.

5.5 Measuring Instruments used during field study :

 Three- and single-phase power analyzer,

 Anemometer,

 Non-contact Thermometer,

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 11

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

 Lux Meter

5.6 Since there is no air compressor of substantial size inside the Hospital, the study of Air Compressor,
as mentioned in the ‘Scope of Work’ has not been taken up.

PRESENT ENERGY SCENARIO

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 12

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

6.1 The major energy consuming installations inside the hospital are driven by electricity, other than the
water-heating facility, run by natural gas. The hospital runs in three distinctively identified work-
schedule :

From 7:00 to 11:00 – Peak Activity (OPD, Indoor, O.T. runs)

From 11:00 to 16:00 – Moderate Activity (skeleton service in

OPD, normal indoor)

From 16:00 to 7:00 (next day) – Lean Activity (Indoor and

emergency)

6.2 All rooms and corridors are illuminated by conventional lighting fittings with ceiling fans of various
wattage level ; all executive cabins, doctors’ chambers, drug store, operational theatre and other
important chambers are cooled by window air-conditions (of age varying between 5-20 years) ; sole
central air conditioning facility at CT scan room ; three-phase and single-phase equipments for
medical purposes ; continuous water-heating facility by running gas supply at four boilers and a
number of small heaters ; allied electrical and mechanical utility services attached with primary
equipments.

6.3 Around 90% (of energy consumed) of the energy consuming appliances are single phase loads.

6.4 The electricity and gas supplies are provided by OIL centralized services. There is no provision of
metering the supply at any level. So, the figures of hot water required per day, the gas consumed for
heating the water per day or the electrical energy consumed per day can’t be determined. The
11/3.3 KV sub-station provided a chart of electrical energy consume din OIL Hospital during the
period, April ’2013 to March’ 2014, but, as there is no energy meter at S/S level, the figure provided
is very crude and approximate in nature.

Note : There is no energy meter at power control centre or at incoming feeder level. Verification of
the data given was not possible.

Analysis of Available Data :

(i) The figures give an indicative measure to the load-pattern. As there is no continuous
measurement of unit at supply level and the load level, exact amount of monthly unit
consumption can not be determined.

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 15

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

(ii) From the consumption graph, it can be construed that April to October, every year, is the
peak load period and rest is lean period. During the peak period, electrical load
increases due to 12 hours (av) running of air conditioning. During the lean period,
heating load does not put extra on electrical circuit, as entire amount of hot water is
achieved by burning running gas.
(iii) From the graph, total connected load has been found as (based on April, ’13-March,’14
data) :

Total Connected Load

Total Load, excluding A.C. and Fan – 112 KW
Total Load, including A.C. and Fan –157 KW

6.6 Amp 26.2 Amp Current through Neutral

Analysis of Measured Parameters :

(i) During peak load hour, total load on transformer #1 is 68.4 KW (i.e. 42.75% loading) and that
on transformer # 2 was 106.8 KW (i.e.26.7% loading). Total load during peak hour was 175.2

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 16

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

KW. Similarly, total load during off-peak hour is 112.52 KW. In that case, one 500 KVA power
transformer with rated P.F. of 0.8 is sufficient to take entire load of the hospital during peak
hour with loading percentage of 43.8%
(ii) As per the monthly energy consumption chart provided to us, it was found that during
August, 2013, 43,000 KWHr was consumed. Considering one weekly off-day and the running
schedule as mentioned, the load in peak period stands 173 KW and that in off peak period
stands at 83.22 KW.
(iii) If 200 KVA (old) transformer is discarded and entire load is put on 500 KVA transformer, the
peak hour load, off-peak hour load and safe load on transformer is shown through graph.

(iv) Energy Savings : At present, during peak hour, transformer #1 is running at 42.7% loading
and Transformer #2 is at poor loading of 26.7%. The load loss of old 200 KVA transformer at
50% loading is around 1300 watts. By discarding old transformer, yearly energy saving
=(1300 watts x 12 hours + 825 watts x 12 hours) x 365 days = 9,307.5 KWHr. At the electricity
rate of Rs.4.55/KWHr (Adopted by OIL), the yearly savings is Rs.42,349.00
(v) Un-balance Load : As 90% of the loads inside the hospital is single phase loads, improper
distribution of single phase loads among three phases will lead to un-balance load pattern
and passing of current through the neutral. It causes I 2R loss in neutral over and above
normal I2R loss in phase conductors. In the present case, we observed that during peak hour,
the current through neutral in two A.T.S. panels were 47.9 Amp and (18.3 + 14.0 Amps)
respectively. If we consider cable length (including surplus length) from A.T.S. panel to main
distribution panel to be 500 meters, the power loss through neutral = [(47.9) 2 + (32.3)2]x

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 17

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

0.227 ohm/Km x 0.5 Km x 24 hours x 365 days =[3,337.7 x 0.227 x 0.5 x24 x 365] W =
3,318.54 KWHr, @ Rs.4.55/KWHr = Rs.15,099.00
(vi) Power Factor Improvement: As found during measurement, the P.F. is generally varying
between 0.91 to 0.93. Since no electricity is consumed from the grid, no monetary benefit
can be accrued out of improvement of P.F. But higher P.F. ensures (a) good voltage
regulation, (b) reduction of load up to certain extent, (c) reduced voltage drop and I 2R loss is
the circuit. Considering total connected load to be 200 KW, the KVAr rating of the capacitor
(to improve P.F. from 0.92 to 0.98) required 200 KW x 0.223 = 45 KVAr
(vii) Benchmarking: As found during the year, 2013-2014, total 4,87,000 KWHr electricity was
consumed in Hospital. Since the captive power plant runs once in a while and as no log-book
is maintained for D.G. set during the period, the generation from D.G. set is over-looked.
Since the capacity of Hospital is 190 bed and as the area of 31,366.17 sqm (the area includes
built up area of the hospital, car parking, garden, corridor, etc). Based on it, annual electricity
consumption/sqm = 4,87,000 KWHr/ 31,366.17 sqm = 15.526 KWHr/sqm/year. Annual
electricity consumption per bed = 4,87,000 KWHr/190 bed = 2,563.16 KWHr/bed/yr.

7.5.3 Specific Fuel Consumption: The engine runs occasionally, automatically as and when power
trips. There is no log-book being maintained since its inception. The concerned department
could not provide the diesel tank diagram, so that hourly HSD consumption at peak-load period

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 18

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

could not be measured physically. It is advisable to maintain log-book on regular basis and to
maintain the specific fuel consumption within the benchmark of 160 gms/KWHr.
7.5.4 General Observation: (a) Excessive black smoke is coming out of the exhaust pipe at the time of
starting, (b) speed reduces at the time of loading, even though loading was around 40% of the
rated capacity of the alternator, (c) exhaust gas pipe should be elongated and to be put in
vertical position, (d) load un-balance should be reduced, to eliminate the chance of unbalance of
voltage and over-heating of alternator.

STUDY OF AIR-CONDITIONING FACILITY

8.1 There are 65 window air-conditions inside the hospital, located at various offices and chamber, the
age of majority of which varies from 5 years to 30 years. Recently the administration has decided to
discard the window air-conditions, purchase before 2010. Accordingly, out of 65 A.C.s, 61 A.C.s have
been decided to be discarded. So, during the field survey, remaining 4 window A.C.s were considered
for testing and examination.

8.2 There are two package air-conditioners of same capacity, one runs at a time, in C.T. scan room. The
details of which are given below :

Air-Conditioner : Model- PWC 711 N, make- Blue Star

Compressor : Model – QR90K1, make- CPL,
Chiller Pump : 3 H.P., 2880 RPM, Centrifugal type.
A.H.U. Fan Motor: 1 H.P., 1440 RPM
Circulating Pump : 2 H.P., 2850 RPM, max. pressure – 1.75 Kg/cm2
Cooling Tower : Model – 3800 with FRP fan of 2 H.P., make- Paharpur Cooling Tower, 2000
Note : At present, plant #1 is under break/down. So, testing was conducted on Plant #1 only (Asset No.
OIL-26)
8.3 Performance testing of Package Air-Conditioner :
8.3.1 The following data were collected during the testing :
Testing of Package Air-Conditioner

Incoming Hot Air Temp./ Rh = 22.5oC at 59.5%

Outgoing cool air Temp./Rh = 16.6oC at 80%

Incoming Air Pressure(Av.) = 1.673 m/sec

Area of Incoming air-flow = 0.423 m2

Inlet Water (primary) pressure & Temp. = 2 Kg/cm 2 at 29oC

Outgoing Water (primary) pressure & Temp.= 1.75 Kg/cm 2 at 35.5oC

Duct (branch) length = 3.5 mtr

Duct (main) length = 17.8 mtr

Temp of cool air at farthest end = 17.5 oC

Electrical Load : (Compressor+ fan)) 395 volt, 36.9 Amp, 6.79 KW, PF -0.84 + (pump) 395
volt, 8.4 Amp, 1.58 KW

8.3.2 Based on the test parameters, (i) Refrigeration effect, (ii) Energy Efficiency Ratio, and (iii) specific
power consumption is calculated :
Air Flow = Air flow rate x area of window of air passing = 1.673 m/sec x 0.423 m 2 x 3600 =
2,547.644 m3/hour
Enthalpy of air at inlet at 22.5oC (dry-bulb temp), hi = 48.2 KJ/Kg
Enthalpy of air at outlet at 16.6oC (dry-bulb temp) , ho = 39.5 KJ/Kg
Air density = 1.29 Kg/m3

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 20

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

Refrigeration Effect (Qe) = mass of air flow x enthalpy diff = 2547.644 m 3/h x 1.29 Kg/m3 x (48.2-
39.5) KJ/Kg = 28,592.2 KJ/Hour = 7,948.63 W
Refrigeration Effect in TR = Qe/ 3.51 = 7,948.63/ (3.51x1000) = 2.26 TR
Electrical power input at 92% efficiency = (6.79 + 1.58) KW x 0.92 = 7.7 KW
Specific Power Consumption = KW/TR = 7.7 KW / 2.26 TR = 3.41 KW/TR (Over-all)/ 6.246
KW/2.26 TR = 2.764 KW/TR
Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER ) = Refrigeration Effect / Shaft power Input = 7,949 W / 6,247 W =
1.27 W/W
IN SHORT
 Present Refrigeration Effect – 2.26 TR
 Specific Power Consumption – 2.764 KW/TR
 Energy Efficiency Ratio – 1.27 W/W

8.3.3 There is a loss of temperature of (17.5 oC – 16.6oC) over a length of 17.8 mtr, whereas substantial
cool air was going out at a distance of 3.5 mtr at store/ passage. That air-passage at the
store/passage should be blocked.
8.3.4 The test parameters shows that at present, the refrigeration is operating at around 50% of its
efficiency and drawing more power (SPC- 2.764 KW/TR) than rated (2.235 KW/TR).
8.3.5 Suggestions for savings :
 Plug the cooling air vent at store area and shut the door of machine room continuously,
 Over-haul the circulating pump to improve the discharge from cooling tower,
 Plug all openings along return lines,
 Over-haul the Compressor.
8.3.6 Savings Potential :
On conducting the over-hauling of pump and compressor, energy savings up to 30% can be
achieved on the running of compressor. Considering the running hour of 12 hours/day and load
factor of 60%, energy savings = 7.5 KW x 30% x 60% x 12 hours/day x 365 days/year = 5,913
KWHr/Year, @ Rs.4.55/KWHr = Rs.26,904.00

STUDY OF MEDICAL UTILITY

9.1 The OIL Hospital Management could not provide any detail list of medical equipments available
inside the Hospital with their ratings, but, arranged for on spot inspection in different departments.

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 22

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

9.2 As peculiar to all such medical installations, majority of the equipments are pretty small so far as
their electrical ratings are concerned. The equipments are not generally run on continuous basis.
They are generally on the call-book during 7:00 to 11:00 hrs and operated in emergency during other
hours.

9.3 During the field survey, department-wise electrical parameters were checked to find out

9.5 OBSERVATIONS AND INFERENCE :

Since 95% of loads inside the Hospital are single phase loads, proper distribution of loads
among three phases is a necessity. Otherwise, all electrical parameters will be disturbed,
causing direct damages to the equipments.

As mentioned along with the test parameters, load was found highly unbalance in all
departments. It causes unbalance of voltage and power factor and ultimately over-heats the
motor by the formula ---- addl temp rise in motor = 2 x (% of voltage unbalance) 2

The voltage unbalance is more pronounced in far off areas from the A.T.S. panel, i.e. the
more distance from A.T.S. panel, the higher is the voltage unbalance, e.g. OPD/ENT, etc.

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 25

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

If the electrical parameters are not improved with proper balancing of load, total effective
life of each electrically operated will be reduced exponentially.

SUGGESTIONS

 Balance single phase loads among three phases equally (+5%) immediately.

 Not all equipment should be put in a single phase.

 No defect could be found in any medical Equipment.

 Proper ventilation should be provided in Panel rooms inside the hospital building. Water
leakages from roof in panel room (attached with Ganeshji’s temple) should be arrested
immediately. Exhaust fans to be provided in enclosed panel rooms.

STUDY OF MECHANICAL & Thermal

UTILITY

10.1 Cooling Tower Performance : The cooling tower, attached with packaged Air Conditioner (in CT
Scan Room) is a ‘Induced Draft Double-Flow’ Tower with plastic fill in two sides and natural fall of hot
water from the top to be settled in the cold water basin. The Induced drought fan is fitted with
‘fibre-reinforced bed’, run by electric motor of 2 H.P. capacity. Since the C.T. is a small one, its
efficiency is measured by its effectiveness only.

Measured Date :

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 26

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

Hot water inlet Temp. – 36.1oC ; Cold water outlet temp. –32.8 oC ;
Ambient wet bulb temperature – 29.3oC
So, Range = (cooling tower inlet – outlet temp.) = (36.1-32.8)= 3.3 oC
Approach = (cooling Tower Outlet cold water Temp – ambient wet bulb temp) = (32.8-29.3) =3.5 oC
Cooling Tower Effectiveness = Range / (Range+ Approach) = 3.3/ (3.3+3.5) = 48.53%
The Cooling Tower Effectiveness is moderate due to low load in air-conditioner side.
10.2 Circulating Pump Performance :
Cooling Tower Circulating Pump Details :
Rated Head – 21 Mtr., Range – 21/18, Capacity – 2 litre/sec.,
Discharge pressure- 1.75 Kg/cm 2
Motor – 2 H.P., 2850 RPM, 3.9 Amp.
Measured Parameters : Suction Pressure – 1.75 Kg/cm 2, Discharge Pressure – 2 Kg/cm 2, Flow- 47
m3/Hr (= 0.013 m3/sec), Electrical power drawn = 0.9 KW
Pump Hydraulic Power = [Flow (m3/sec) x Head difference in mtr x density of water g]/ 1000
= (0.013 x 2.5x 1000 x 9.81)/1000 = 0.3188 KW
Efficiency of the Pump = Hydraulic Power Output / electrical power input = 0.3188/ 0.9 = 35.42%
The efficiency of the pump is below moderate. Over-hauling of the pump and checking of pump
impeller are to be done.

10.3 Savings Potential :

By proper over-hauling of (i) air conditioner compressor, thus improving its efficiency, and (ii)
circulating pump, the pump and cooling tower’s performances can be improved and load
consumption can be reduced by around 15%, though monetarily, no major gain is visualized at
present rate of electricity.
10.4 Observation for Gas Consumption inside the Hospital :
 There is no meter to check daily flow of gas to four boilers and a number of heaters to heat
water for the consumption of the hot water in the hospital.
 The daily hot water requirement figure was not available.
 As found during the survey, all four boilers and heat ovens run continuously.
10.5 The following data was either provided by the Hospital Mgnt, or obtained from other hospitals
of similar nature :
 The occupancy rate in indoor of the hospital : 75%
 At present, number of beds in hospital : 190

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 27

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

 Running hours for hospital in indoor section : 24 hours

 Av. Consumption of hot water per patient per day : 5 litres
 Hot water temperature required for dressing, etc : 60 oC
10.6 Based on the information, the calculation is meted out to determine minimum level of natural
gas required for heating water per year and the cost of gas thereof :
Total hot water consumption per year = 190 beds x 75% occupancy x 5 litre/ patient/ day x 365 days/
year = 2,60,063 litre= 260.063 KL
Heat required to increase water at 26 oC to 60oC per year = 260.063 m3 x 996 Kg/m3 x (60-26) =
88,06,773.00 KCal
Considering calorific value of natural gas at 8,700 Kcal/Kg and density of gas at 580 Kg/m 3 (at 15oC),
the quantum of natural gas required per year =1.745 m 3

11.4 RECOMMENDATION IN THE SECTOR OF ILLUMINATION & FAN :

 Conventional Tube-lights (40/36 watts with electro-magnetic choke @12 watts) are to be
replaced by Energy Efficient Fluorescent Lamps (T5), which offers highly sophisticated tri-
phosphor fluorescent powder technology, offer reduction in the power consumption (from
48/56 watts to 29 watts/ per tube) besides excellent colour rendering properties and high
luminous efficacy.

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 31

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

 The court-yard in front of the Hospital is insufficient lit. Extensive area in front of the indoor
entrance is poorly lit. It is advised to install property street lighting in uncovered area in
consultation with the vendors.

 Renowned manufacturers in the illumination segment offers energy efficient and LED/T-5
based compound lighting, though the height of the lamps needs to be based on the points
of focusing. For the complex, it is suggested to HPSV lamp in court-yard illumination to be
replaced by a fixture of (4 nos x 24 Watts T5) lights.

 Inside the hospital rooms, huge number of old ceiling fans of 200-250 watt (individual
electrical load) could be found. In total, those are 22 nos (250 watts) and 8 nos (200 watts).
Those fans are to be replaced by current 85 watt light ceiling fans.

 Installation of electronic ballast and regulator for fluorescent lamps and ceiling fans
respectively.

 Use of occupancy sensor for the Doctors’ chamber and common rooms.

 Use of localized lighting close to the working area where appropriate.

11.5 ENERGY SAVING POTENTIAL :

11.5.1 By replacing conventional Tube-lights by T-5 lights : Replacing 336 nos of 36 watts tubes and 32
nos of 40 watt tubes (cumulatively electrical consumption of 17.92 KW) by T5 fittings (each
consumption 29 watts)

Total savings in electrical consumption = 17.92 KW – (336+32)x29 w = 17.92 KW -10.672 KW=

7.248 KW.

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 32

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

Considering daily average running hours 18 (12 hours for office/chamber & 24 hours for
wards/corridor), yearly savings in consumption = 7.248 KW x 18 hours/day x 350 days (av)/year=
45,662.4 KWHr. The Yearly monetary savings per year = 45,662.4 KWHr x Rs.4.55/KWHr =
Rs.2,07,764.00

Cost of each T5 = Rs.422.00, total investment = (336 +32) x Rs.422.00/unit = Rs.1,55,296.00

Simple pay-back period = Rs.1,55,296.00 / Rs.2,07,764.00 = 9 months.

11.5.2 By Replacing Old Ceiling Fans : There are identified old fans – 22 nos x 250 watts + 8 nos x 200
watts. Total energy consumption per hour = (22 x 250 + 8 x 200 ) = 7.1 KW. By replacing the old
fans by current light weight fans (consumption 85 watts with electronic regulator), yearly (8
months a year) energy consumption = (7.1 KW -30 nos x 85 watts) x 24 hours x 240 days = (7.1-
2.55) KW x 24 hours/day x 240 days = 26,208 KWHr @ Rs.4.55/KWHr = Rs.1,19,246.00

Investment : 30 nos x Rs.1,550.00/fan = Rs.46,500.00

Simple payback period = Rs.46,500.00/Rs.1,19,246.00 = 5 months.

GENERAL OBSERVATION OF THE AUDIT

12.1 The house-keeping inside the Hospital is very good and general pattern of dressing of electrical
wires and pipes are standard.

12.2 The Transformer/ATS room, electrical distribution room and load points are to be regularly
visited by the concerned technicians. The D.G. set should be run on regular basis with load not less
than 60%.

M/s Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Kolkata Page 33

 ENERGY AUDIT REPORT, OIL Hospital, Duliajan

12.3 Operation log-books are not maintained at Power Control Centre (ATS) and D.G. Set points.
There is no energy meter at any point (transformer, ATS or load points) and thus regular checking of
the parameter of energy consumed can not be done.

12.4 The earthing points are to be cleaned and connections should be checked on periodic basis.

12.5 Distribution panels are located either in a congested room, or within the reach of general public.
Corrective measured are to be taken.

12.6 The panel/electrical room near Ganeshji’s temple has seen falling of rain water directly on the
panel. The room is too congested, so that proper ventilation was lacking.

12.7 At every load point, variation of voltage and current could be observed. The severe situation was
at the entire Out-patient Department and its first floor, where the variation of voltage could be
measured at more than 5%. Corrective measures are to be taken on war-footing manner, other-wise
the medical equipments will be damaged for non-reliable electrical supply.

12.8 Measuring equipments for the electricity and gas supply are highly lacking. Consumption pattern
at any point is tedious to be noted.

12.9 Inside the Hospital, same colour coding on the pipes, meant for gas, oxygen and water could be
observed. Proper colour code as per standard should be adhered to.

12.10 The access to any electrical distribution panel should not be restricted by furniture or flower
pots, as found near the chamber of Matron.

12.11 A number of chambers in locked condition were found with lighting and fan moving inside the
room. Similarly, drug store A.C.s were found running even at evening. Proper awareness should be
formulated to restrict such situation.

12.12 The court-yard and parking area in front of the Hospital building (indoor) is poorly lit. Sufficient
lighting should be provided.

12.13 An asset register of all sorts of electrical/ mechanical/electronic item with proper description
should be maintained.

NOTES & CONCLUSION

The establishment of a Hospital is a mixed energy consuming Institution. Limitation of access and usage
pattern makes the situation more vulnerable from energy consumption point of view.

In the current endeavor, measurements at important points have been taken, vis-à-vis, electricity, water
and gas consumption. But, unfortunately, absence of proper consumption meter did deter the job of

proper understanding of the consumption pattern and daily/monthly/yearly consumption. Merely

studying the consumption at a point of time is not sufficient to visualize the situation as a whole.

It is important to connect measuring meters, even due to situational advantages, the raw materials are
of little value. But, everybody should come across the level of consumption at any point.

The present level of energy audit is indeed a right step in right direction. It is, though, a beginning.
