An entire industrial facility, comprehensively and systematically, must be periodically serviced at intervals of hours, days, weeks, months, and years. Especially structures that operate at high temperatures and pressures.
The behavior of a home or industrial boiler usually has the same principles, with similar components. The difference is that industrial-level ones, when working with much larger systems and circuits, which are commonly intended for stressful jobs for the generation of steam or hot water in large quantities, there will be certain guidelines that will determine the optimal practical and efficient operation of these systems.
Precisely, energy efficiency is a common problem in industrial water heaters with a certain amount of working time, where each component sees its useful life limited, leaving technicians the arduous task of determining the sections of the system that require the most maintenance, to maximize the work of industrial heaters.
Generally, scale is a problem for an entire boiler system, since it causes significant amounts of energy to be spent, even directly affecting metals and other components of the entire heating network. At a minimum, there will be temporary stoppages that result in significant economic losses. In a more serious case, it will affect the system to such an extent that it will have to be stopped indefinitely until the inspector on duty sees that it is viable to start up the industrial boiler -in many cases the entire system will have to be changed-. In the worst case, incidents could arise due to negligence in the operation and care of these mechanisms. To effectively save money, whether by owning a boil room or leasing it, certain relatively simple steps can be followed by a supposedly well-prepared technician.
Reduce the temperature of the industrial water heater chimney
This, in short, is a way to increase the energy efficiency of a system as such. If done promptly, the pressure in the operation of heating systems that work with steam will be reduced. Likewise, the temperature will be reduced in certain types of heaters – hydronic -, especially when there is no activity during night periods or on hot days.
Economizers for heating mechanisms
Generally in these types of systems, flue gases are wasted in various sections, including chimneys and other outlets. In that sense, when an economizer is installed, it will cause the feed water to be heated in the same route as the heaters. Generally, this is a highly valued addition by technicians and engineers, because they know the importance of prioritizing energy efficiency in heating networks. It’s much better than trying to save hot water by feeding the heater cold water, which could have repercussions on the entire system.
Maximize the burner performance of the industrial water heater with oxygenation
This is not only for the sake of the heating processes but also for the occupational safety of people and the entire environment. The fuel must do its job well at the time of combustion, if this part is not carried out properly, simply and simply the fuel will oxidize, to the point of producing dangerous carbon monoxide. In this sense, to guarantee good oxygenation in the burning process, it is essential to use an oxygen meter, which is inserted into the chimney, and at the same time, the necessary adjustments are made to the industrial heater.
Frequency inverter for heating network
This is a device that allows substantial savings rarely seen in heating systems. Generally, heat pumps and valve-regulated fans tend to consume a lot of energy and incur significant costs. VFDs are essential.
Valve isolation
For proper operation of the industrial water heater and its perception of energy and monetary savings, isolating the valves is essential. Many companies make the mistake of removing them so that maintenance is not so burdensome, however, as a result, large heat losses occur, and at the same time, the heating areas become truly unbearable stoves.
