Boilers are used to generate energy to power establishments. It heats water and utilizes the steam to produce energy. During the process, excess heat is left unutilized and a percentage of energy is wasted. To capture this lost heat and make the most out of it, boiler economizers are utilized.


A boiler economizer is device installed in boilers to gather heat loss in the steaming process. It is sometimes offered along with the boiler, while some companies manufacture it separately. Either way, it helps boiler system owners to generate more energy provided by proper installation.


Since boiler economizers pre-heat water, less fuel will then be require to steam it. Aside from this, the pre-heating of water supports boiler in handling cool feed water that most commonly causes damages to the boiler body. In today’s market condition, fuel and boiler repairs or replacement cost a lot. Fortunately with boiler economizers, boiler system owners can save money.


One way to generate energy savings is through the use of waste water heat recovery. This system captures energy from the hot water usually lost to the sewer system. It is designed with a cleaning shell and a tube heat exchanger responsible to pre-heat cold feed water at 10-degree Fahrenheit.


Another equipment to minimize heating costs is with the use of single stage boiler stack economizer. Its Boiler stack heat recovery system heats water up to 140-degree Fahrenheit by utilizing the lost heat in your boiler stack exhaust. Its plate and frame heat exchanger produce potable water at 100-percent efficiency.


Conventional heating systems are usually at 65-percent efficiency. With the type of direct contact hot water heater manufactured by world renowned companies like the Resource Recovery Company, you can heat water at 95-percent to 100-percent efficiency. This ensures fast steaming and generation of energy.


Most direct contact hot water heaters are in sizes from 750,000 BTUH to 30 Million BTUH. Since heating systems may at times threaten the environment, several states limit the type of heaters to be installed in local districts. If you intend to invest in energy generation with the use of a direct contact hot water heater, better seek your local management and inquire about your local district regulations to ensure the pursuance of your business.
