Darien-Woodridge Fire District patchThe Darien-Woodridge Fire Protection District is a key member of MABAS Division 10, operating three fire stations serving the communities of Darien and Woodridge. The department has a long history with E-ONE equipment, having started with a single quint many years ago. Today, they maintain a fleet that includes one E-ONE quint, three E-ONE engines, and two E-ONE ambulances. Over time, the department has transitioned from its original lime green color scheme with white roofs to a more traditional red and white look. Only two vehicles still retain the original color, marking a subtle but meaningful shift in their identity.

The district covers parts of Darien and Woodridge, along with unincorporated areas of Downers Grove and portions of Westmont. The department operates with a mix of full-time and part-time firefighters, ensuring coverage for both routine calls and emergencies. In 2009 alone, they responded to over 2,450 incidents, showcasing their critical role in the region’s emergency services.

Station 1, located in Darien-Woodridge, is not only the headquarters of the fire department but also houses the Southwest United Fire Districts Fire Training Academy. This academy plays an essential role in training new firefighters and maintaining high standards of preparedness across the region. The station also operates three additional training rigs specifically for use by the academy.

Box Heat Exchange Station

A Box Heat Exchange Station, also known as a Prefabricated Heat Exchange Station or Modular Heat Exchange Station, is a compact, pre-assembled unit used for heating, cooling, or heat recovery in district energy systems, HVAC systems, or industrial processes. These stations are designed for easy installation, energy efficiency, and space-saving. Below is a classification of Box Heat Exchange Stations based on their design, function, and application:

1. Based on Function

  • Heating Station:

    • Designed to supply heat to a building or district heating network.

    • Typically includes a heat exchanger, pumps, and control systems.

  • Cooling Station:

    • Used for cooling applications, such as district cooling or industrial processes.

    • Includes chillers, cooling towers, or heat exchangers.

  • Combined Heating and Cooling Station:

    • Provides both heating and cooling capabilities.

    • Often used in systems with seasonal demand changes.

  • Heat Recovery Station:

    • Recovers waste heat from industrial processes or exhaust air.

    • Reuses the recovered heat for other purposes, improving energy efficiency.

      2. Based on Design

      • Compact Modular Station:

        • Prefabricated and pre-assembled in a factory.

        • Easy to transport and install on-site.

        • Ideal for small to medium-sized applications.

      • Skid-Mounted Station:

        • Mounted on a skid or frame for easy mobility.

        • Commonly used in temporary or portable applications.

      • Containerized Station:

        • Housed in a shipping container for protection and portability.

        • Suitable for harsh environments or remote locations.

          3. Based on Heat Source

          • District Heating Station:

            • Connects to a district heating network to supply heat to buildings.

            • Includes heat exchangers, pumps, and control valves.

          • Geothermal Heat Exchange Station:

            • Utilizes geothermal energy as the heat source.

            • Includes ground-source heat pumps and heat exchangers.

          • Solar Thermal Station:

            • Uses solar collectors to capture and transfer heat.

            • Often includes thermal storage systems.

          • Waste Heat Recovery Station:

            • Captures and reuses waste heat from industrial processes or power plants.

              4. Based on Application

              • Residential Heat Exchange Station:

                • Designed for small-scale residential heating or cooling.

                • Compact and energy-efficient.

              • Commercial Heat Exchange Station:

                • Used in office buildings, shopping malls, or hotels.

                • Handles larger heating or cooling loads.

              • Industrial Heat Exchange Station:

                • Designed for industrial processes, such as chemical plants or manufacturing facilities.

                • Often includes robust components for high-temperature or high-pressure applications.

              • District Energy Station:

                • Supplies heating or cooling to an entire district or community.

                  • Water-to-Water Heat Exchange Station:

                    • Transfers heat between two water circuits.

                    • Common in district heating and cooling systems.

                      Includes large-capacity heat exchangers and pumps.
