All the nearby buildings' heating is provided by saturated steam generated at a nearby steam plant using natural gas boilers. On March 13th, 2019 (cycle weather bomb), the area experienced a cold front with outdoor air temperature equal to 39°F at 9 am. After heating all buildings in the area, water returns to the boiler as saturated liquid at 222°F. Water is then preheated and pressurized to 222°F and 180 psig (state before entering the boiler). Water leaves the boiler as saturated vapor at 322°F.
