Excess steam loss will lead to costly operation, while condensate backup will promote poor performance and may lead to water hammer. Traps can also remove non- condensable gases that reduce heat exchanger effectiveness. Valve Hospital has an established competence and...
PROS: Boiler efficiency is not constant throughout the operating range of a typical boiler. The upper end of the operating range generally presents a decrease in efficiency also because of increased flue gas exit temperature. Excess boiler capacity on-line can result...
The whole point of a steam boiler system is to move heat from one place to another using water as a sort of “conveyor belt.” The water picks up the heat at one end of the system, takes it to the other end of the system, and offloads it. As we all know, when...
PROS: Condensate contains not only water, but also boiler treatment chemicals and the energy transferred during combustion. Condensate, therefore, needs to be returned to the boiler to: Improve energy efficiency Reduce chemical cost Reduce make-up water costs Reduce...
