St Pancras Hospital Case Study

Functionality & Performance Testing

An X-POT prototype, which would later on become the X-POT XP+, was installed in the boiler room at St Pancras Hospital in London for a four month trial.

During this time, measurements, samples and photographs of the heating system and components were taken to assess the benefits of the unit as well as the X-PO10 inhibitor used to treat the water.

Following the trial and collating the results and analysis, this system as a whole was found to be operating at a conservatively 10 to 20% higher efficiency.

VEXO X-POT XP A cylindrical stainless-steel multi-purpose filtration unit with various valves, including green VEXO-branded handles, a pressure gauge, and a brass air vent at the top. The unit is designed for heating and cooling systems, integrating magnetic filtration, dirt separation, and chemical dosing in one compact device.
Following the introduction of the X-POT and the accompanying X-PO10 inhibitor into our system we can foresee less maintenance call outs and a definite rise in efficiency, which will result in lower fuel and maintenance costs.
