Maintenance and lifespan According to Habib, this system should last the hospital about 25 years if it is properly maintained. Allsteam Engineering will also be taking care of the maintenance contract to make sure this happens.
The coils will have to be changed out about every three years to keep the system running optimally. The system also requires the regular maintenance of the steam valves, pressure reducing valves, steam traps, and thermostatic controllers to ensure that leaks are repaired promptly so no corrosive fluids attack the system from the exterior.
