It is vital to control the steam
boiler in order to achieve energy savings. Below are several ways to enhance
boiler efficiency.
Reducing excess air
Installing economizer
Reducing scale and deposits
Reducing blow down
Recovering waste heat from blow down
Stopping dynamic operation
Reducing boiler pressure
Operating at peak efficiency
Preheating combustion air
Switching from steam to air
atomization
Switching to lower cost fuel
Some of the above methods might not
work for everyone. The improvements in boiler efficiency may be only a couple of
percentage points. When done correctly and using the appropriate tools and
instruments these small changes can result in huge savings.
