The steam system, which was designed and built back in 1880 on Manhattan Island, is still actively used today. The steam pipes are located below the city of New York at a length of 170 kilometers.
Couple produced in huge boards, for heating and cooling purposes, is transmitted to about 2,000 buildings in New York including the Empire State Building, the Metropolitan Museum, the United Nations Headquarters building.
In addition, steam is also used in the kitchens of many New York restaurants, such as dishwashers, hospitals, sterilizing medical equipment, and chemical cleaning products.
The steam system in New York during the winter for heating produces five thousand tons of steam per hour, while in the summer it also provides the necessary quantities needed for the kilma devices.
Kons Edison, a New York-based dealer, says Manhattan's panorama would be completely different, so that the steam system was not formed. Because, as they have said, using steam in New York's warming and cooling systems over the course of a year is preventing the release of 1.2 million tons of carbon dioxide, thus providing a much cleaner source of energy.
Steam, in addition to being manufactured in large boards, it comes with evaporation of water that falls on the steam pipe system. Therefore, there is much more money in the winter, when there is much more rain and snow.
As a steam that leaks beneath the ground, it will not interfere with pedestrians and drivers on the streets of New York, high tensile steam pipes are installed.
In 2007, one of the steam pipes was exploded in New York City, and then one person died. After that, a series of discussions on the safety of steam pipelines was launched, as it was an infrastructure older than 100 years.
