Steam whistle remains a staple on campus
GRANT ZIZZO

Commonly identified by its steam whistle, the KU Power Plant is a frequently misunderstood component on campus. While the name implies the generation of electricity, the plant has not done so since the early 1900s. Rather, its purpose is the generation of high-pressure steam. Most notably, the steam is used to heat many buildings on campus; however, steam serves various other roles as well. The Watson stacks and archives require regulated humidity and the autoclaves in the laboratories use steam to sterilize equipment.
The facility and its smaller sister on the west side of campus run year round and are maintained around the clock by its crew. In an interview, Chief Boiler Operator, Brian Bailey, explained how the plant works.
The boilers heat water to 400 degrees at which point it becomes high-pressure steam. A series of pipes then convert the steam to 90 psi (pounds per square inch), distributing it to buildings around campus. The steam reaches the buildings through an extensive eight-mile system of underground corridors through which the pipes run. Upon arrival at a building, the steam is distributed to radiators
which are commonly found under the windows. As the steam heats the air it loses energy and becomes water. Following, the water returns through the underground pipes to the power plant where it is again heated to steam.
The system is 80-85 percent efficient. Water is only lost to the library's humidifiers and the autoclaves. In this manner, the campus is afforded an environmentally conscious heat source.
Steam boilers tower over most college campuses and offer an expandable option that will endure for years to come.

The steam whistle is a staple at the University of Kansas. It signals when class is over and students say that they will sometimes use it for an alarm clock, but it also serves another purpose; it heats campus.
