Several boiler accessories and components are essential for maintaining the efficiency and performance of industrial boilers. These parts will optimize your boiler’s performance, which can lead to cost savings and better overall performance. We will examine the top five components and accessories that can improve industrial boiler performance.
Stack Economizers
The stack economizer is a device that is installed in the boiler’s flue gas exhaust. The stack economizers work by reclaiming waste heat from flue gas and using it to pre-heat the incoming water. The boiler’s efficiency can be improved by up to 4-5% depending on the operating temperature.
Blowdown Separators
Blowerdown separators can be used to remove and separate impurities from the boiler that have accumulated over time. These impurities reduce boiler efficiency and increase corrosion risk. Blower down separators improve boiler performance and lifespan by removing impurities.
Insulation
Insulation can help you save energy because it reduces heat loss through the surfaces of piping, valves and other equipment. This insulation also makes the work environment more comfortable. Insulation can also be beneficial for safety by reducing the temperature at the outer surface of the pipe, thereby reducing the risk of burning.
Condensate Return Systems
Condensate recovery systems are designed for recovering condensate produced during steam generation. The condensate produced is used to heat the water coming in, resulting in reduced fuel consumption.
Automatic Blowdown Control Systems
The automatic blowdown control system is designed to control the blowdown of a boiler. It helps optimize the amount water discharged by the boiler in relation to the solids. It can reduce fuel consumption because you will not have to heat and consume as much water. The U.S. Department of Energy claims that these savings will pay for an automatic blowdown system in 1-3 years.
Experts in Accessories and Maintenance
Boiler accessories can increase the safety and efficiency of your boiler as well as reduce energy costs and emissions. Some of the best accessories for improving the efficiency of industrial steam boilers include stack economizers and blowdown separators. They also include insulation, condensate return systems, automatic blowdown controls, and condensate return systems. If you’re using electric boilers, Electric Boiler Accessories such as automatic control systems and high-efficiency pumps can further optimize performance. These accessories have a significant ROI, and some systems can pay for themselves within 1-3 years. Contact us to talk to a member of our team about your needs.
