PCN Tours: Penn State University Park’s Steam Plants

Paul Moser, superintendent of Steam Services, Office of Physical Plant, gives a tour of Penn State University’s steam plants at University Park. The East and West Campus steam plants provide combined heat and power for the University’s 200+ buildings. The steam is distributed to these buildings via a network of 17 miles of underground piping. University Park has a West Campus Steam Plant (WCSP), built in 1929, that provides primary steam production. Its East Campus Steam Plant (ECSP), built in 1972, serves peak steam demands.
PCN documented these tours, which can be taken at UP, in this video.
