Philippine Hospitals Spend ₱1M+/Year on Hot Water.
iHEAT Cuts That by 75%.
24/7 redundant hot water for CSSD sterilisation at 80°C, Legionella pasteurisation at 70°C, and domestic hot water at 60°C — all from a single natural refrigerant heat pump system with zero Scope 1 emissions.
Why Philippine Hospitals Are Switching
Hospitals have unique hot water demands: 24/7 operation, strict temperature requirements, and zero tolerance for downtime. Heat pumps address all four critical challenges.
24/7 Redundancy Requirement
Hospitals cannot tolerate hot water outages. Boiler failures during overnight shifts halt CSSD operations and compromise patient care. iHEAT N+1 parallel architecture with iSTOR thermal buffer ensures continuous supply — no single point of failure.
CSSD 80°C Requirement
Central Sterile Supply Departments require hot water at 80°C for washer-disinfectors and instrument reprocessing. iHEAT CO₂ delivers 80-90°C at COP 4.0 — meeting HTM 01-01 sterilisation standards without steam boiler infrastructure.
Legionella Pasteurisation
Hospital water systems must maintain 60°C storage and execute periodic 70°C pasteurisation to prevent Legionella. iHEAT maintains these temperatures automatically with programmable pasteurisation cycles, meeting HTM 04-01 and ASHRAE Guideline 12.
Hospital ESG & Green Building
DOH green hospital programmes, BERDE certification, and SEC PFRS S2 require measurable emission reductions. Switching to iHEAT eliminates Scope 1 combustion emissions and avoids HFC refrigerant disclosures — verifiable through the iSAVE platform.
Recommended Products for Hospitals
A complete hospital hot water solution: redundant supply, thermal storage, Legionella control, and smart monitoring.
iHEAT R290 Parallel
N+1 parallel modules. 6-350kW per unit. COP 4.0-5.0. Domestic hot water at 60°C with automatic failover between units.
iHEAT CO₂
CSSD-grade hot water at 80-90°C. COP 4.0. Dedicated high-temperature circuit for sterilisation and washer-disinfectors.
iSTOR
Phase-change thermal buffer. 33-80kWh. Maintains Legionella pasteurisation temperatures. Hours of backup during power events.
iSAVE
Smart monitoring. Real-time temperature logging, Legionella compliance alerts, energy reporting, and BMS integration via BACnet/ModBus.
150-300 Bed Hospital, Metro Manila
A typical 150-300 bed Philippine hospital consumes 800-1,500 litres of hot water per hour across CSSD, laundry, kitchen, and patient bathrooms. At current diesel prices, annual hot water costs exceed ₱1 million. Replacing the diesel boiler system with iHEAT R290 (domestic) and iHEAT CO₂ (CSSD) reduces this by 75%, with N+1 redundancy that exceeds the reliability of a single boiler installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can a Philippine hospital save with heat pumps?
A typical 150-300 bed hospital saves over ₱1 million per year by replacing diesel boilers with iHEAT. Larger hospitals with extensive CSSD, laundry, and kitchen operations save considerably more. The exact savings depend on bed count, occupancy, and current fuel costs.
Can iHEAT deliver 80°C for CSSD sterilisation?
Yes. iHEAT CO₂ delivers hot water at 80-90°C with COP 4.0, meeting the temperature requirements for CSSD washer-disinfectors and instrument reprocessing. The system maintains precise ±1°C temperature control for consistent sterilisation performance.
How does the system prevent Legionella?
iHEAT maintains stored water at 60°C minimum and executes automatic pasteurisation cycles to 70°C as required by HTM 04-01 and ASHRAE Guideline 12. iSTOR phase-change thermal batteries hold pasteurisation temperatures without additional energy input, and iSAVE provides real-time compliance logging.
What redundancy is built into hospital installations?
All hospital installations use N+1 parallel heat pump modules with automatic failover. If any single unit requires service, remaining units maintain full supply. iSTOR thermal batteries provide hours of hot water buffer during power events or peak demand.
Does this support hospital ESG and green building targets?
Yes. Eliminating diesel combustion removes Scope 1 emissions. R290 (GWP 3) and CO₂ (GWP 1) refrigerants avoid HFC disclosures. This supports DOH green hospital initiatives, BERDE certification, and SEC PFRS S2 climate disclosure for listed healthcare groups.
