Boiler economizer

18 / Mar

 

A boiler economizer is a device that is designed to increase the operating efficiency of a boiler, cutting down on its operational costs over the lifetime of the boiler.
Boilers operate by heating water to make steam, and using that steam for heat or energy generation. For the most part, a boiler is fairly efficient, but there is some heat loss when the byproducts of combustion are vented. The byproducts of combustion are still hot, often quite hot, and when they are simply vented, this represents lost heat for the boiler.A boiler economizer acts as a waste heat recovery device, ensuring that this heat does not go unused.
When someone installs a boiler economizer, it is important for him or her to use a product that is suitable for the boiler.There may be cases in which it is not fiscally responsible to install this device because the costs of installation may outweigh the savings.
