8 Basic Concepts of Steam
9 Steam Basics Generated by adding heat energy to water to bring it to its boiling temperature Adding more energy transforms water from liquid to vapor (steam) Steam is used to carry heat energy from one location to another Heat energy is expressed in British Thermal Units (Btu) I Btu = amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1 F Heat Energy is also called Enthalpy (h): Energy due to both Temp. and Pressure 9
10 Steam Basics Increasing Pressure increases boiling point (saturated water temp.) 450 Saturation Temperature vs. Pressure 0 psig 212 F 400 Saturation Temp ( F) psig 338 F Pressure (psig) 10
11 Steam Basics Sensible vs. Latent Heat Heat required to make steam has two components: o Sensible heat (Btu/lb) o Latent heat (Btu/lb) Sensible Heat o Amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water from 32 F to its boiling point (saturated water) o Adding sensible heat raises the temperature o It can be detected with a thermometer o Sensible heat of water at 32 F is taken as zero 11
12 Steam Basics Sensible Heat More Sensible Heat is required to boil water at a higher pressure o Increasing the temperature of water going into the boiler reduces the amount of Sensible Heat required to boil the water Sensible Heat vs. Pressure 0 psig 212 F Sensible Heat (Btu/lb) lb of saturated water contains 180 Btu 100 psig Pressure (Psig) 338 F 1 lb saturated water contains 309 Btu 12
13 Steam Basics Latent Heat Amount of heat required to change saturated water to steam Adding Latent Heat does not raise the temperature: the boiling water and steam has the same temperature for a given pressure Latent heat added to the boiler is what is transferred to the load Removing latent heat at the load creates condensate Returning maximum amount of condensate reduces heat energy required by the boiler 13
14 Steam Basics Latent Heat vs. Pressure 1000 Latent Heat vs. Pressure Latent Heat (Btu/lb) Pressure (psig) 14
15 Steam Basics Total Heat of Steam Total Heat of Steam = Sensible Heat + Latent Heat Total Heat of Steam = hg Sensible Heat = hf Latent Heat = hfg For 100 psig steam: hf (saturated liq. Enthalpy) = 309 Btu/lb hfg (latent heat) = 880 Btu/lb hg (saturated vapour enthalpy)= 1189 Btu/lb Heat (Btu/hr) Total heat of Steam at 100 psig F 338 F 32 F psig Pressure (psig) Latent Heat Sensible Heat 15

17 Basic Concepts of Combustion
18 Perfect Combustion: Ideal Air:Fuel Ratio CO 2 + 2H 2 O N 2 Heat Released =1012 Btu/ft 3 = 23,000 Btu/lb Natural Gas (CH 4 ) 1 ft 3 16 lbs. Air( 2O N 2 ) 9.52 ft lbs. O 2 contributes to combustion, while N 2 absorbs heat. Air : Fuel Ratio (by vol.) = 9.5 : 1 or 10:1 (approx.) Air : Fuel Ratio (by wt.) = 17 : 1 (approx.) 18
19 Practical Air:Fuel Ratio for Complete Combustion All boiler burners use excess air to avoid risk of CO and un-burned CxHy Excess air varies with firing rate CO 2 + 2H 2 O + x 2O 2 + (1 + x) 7.52 N 2 Excess O 2 Low Fire: 8-12 % High Fire: 3-5% Natural Gas (CH 4 ) 1 ft3 16 lbs. Air(1+x) (2O N 2 ). Excess Air e.g. x= 0.2 for 20% A:F by Volume 10% O 2 3% O 2 19
20 Excess Air and Excess O 2 Simple Correlation For 100 CH 4 Excess Air (for dry O 2 ) = 8.52 x %O 2dry /( x %O 2dry ) Excess Air (for wet O 2 ) = x %O 2wet /( x %O 2wet ) Example: Flue Gas Analyzer reads 5% excess O 2 (dry) Excess Air = 8.52 x 0.05 / ( x 0.05) = / = 28% 20
21 Heating Values of Natural Gas: HHV, LHV Higher Heating Value (HHV) CO 2 + 2H 2 O + 2O N 2 o Takes into account the latent heat of vaporization o Assumes all the heat in product of combustion can be put to use o HHV of N.Gas = 1012 Btu/ft 3 = 37.7 MJ/m 3 NG Lower Heating Value (LHV) Air o Determined by subtracting the heat of vaporization from the HHV o Assumes latent heat of vaporization of water is not put to use o LHV of N. Gas = 912 Btu/ft 3 = 33.9 MJ/m 3 21
22 Thermal Efficiency Seasonal Efficiency Boiler Operation Efficiency Combustion Efficiency What is Boiler Efficiency? Boiler Energy Efficiency Net Plant Efficiency Net Efficiency Fuel-to-steam Efficiency Fuel Efficiency
23 Steam Boiler Efficiency To identify energy saving opportunities, we need to properly understand what Boiler Efficiency means: We ll focus on four commonly used efficiencies for Steam Boilers: 1. Combustion efficiency 2. Fuel efficiency, ASME PTC Fuel-to-steam efficiency 4. Net plant efficiency 23
24 Combustion Efficiency Combustion Efficiency = Input Energy Stack Losses Input Energy Combustion Efficiency =(100 21)/100 = 79% Stack Losses = 21.0 Q ng = 100 Natural Gas
25 Combustion Efficiency 79% of Fuel Energy is Delivered to Boiler Stack Losses = 21.0 Q ng = 100 Natural Gas 79.0 Available
26 Combustion Efficiency Combustion Efficiency = Input Energy Stack Losses Input Energy There is no need to know gas consumption or steam production to calculate combustion efficiency. Stack Losses = 21.0 But how do we measure stack losses? Q ng = 100 Natural Gas 79.0 Available
27 Flue Gas Analyzers Are Used To Measure Stack Loss Enbridge Can Help! 27
28 What do Flue Gas (FG) Analyzers Measure? Excess O 2 CO FG Temp. Comb. Air Temp. NO x CO 2 + 2H 2 O + X 2O 2 + (1 + x) 7.52 N 2 H 2 O is removed in portable analyzers O 2 is recorded on dry basis Natural Gas (CH 4 ) Air(1+X) (2O N 2 ). Excess Air e.g. X= 0.2 for 20% 28
29 Types of Stack Losses Dry flue gas loss o Heat lost in the Dry products of combustion (CO 2, O 2, N 2 ) which carry only sensible heat Loss in water from burning Hydrogen o Hydrogen component of fuel exits in the form of water vapour o Most of its enthalpy is in the form of heat of vaporization o Approximately 10% of natural gas energy is lost CO loss o CO is a fuel - any CO in the flue gas represents a loss Unburned Hydrocarbons (C x H y ) loss o Unburned combustibles (C x H y ) have the same Higher Heating Value (HHV) as natural gas - any C x H y in the flue gas represents fuel loss 29
30 Combustion Efficiency Stack Losses (Calculated as a % of fuel) Dry flue gas (CO 2, O 2, N 2 ) Water from burning H 2 CO Unburned Hydrocarbons, C x H y Natural Gas Combustion Efficiency (%) = 100 Σ losses
31 Exercise # 1 Use the Combustion Efficiency Chart to determine the combustion efficiency based on the following parameters: Parameters Excess O 2 = 8% Flue Gas Temp. T fg = 460 F Combustion Air Temp. T air = 80 F Calculate Delta T = (460 80) F = 380 F Excess, % FG Temperature - Combustion Air O
32 Fuel Efficiency ASME PTC (% of fuel energy transferred to boiler feedwater) There are two methods of calculating Fuel Efficiency: 1. Input-Output (Direct) Method: 2. Energy Balance (Indirect) Method: 32
33 Fuel Efficiency Boiler Heat Balance Q sl Stack loss Q ra Radiation Loss Q ng Natural Gas Q st Steam Q fw Feedwater Q bd Blowdown Q ng + Q fw = Q sl + Q ra + Q st + Q bd Q ng - Q sl - Q ra = Q st + Q bd -Q fw Output for Indirect Method Output for Direct Method 33
34 Fuel Efficiency ASME PTC Input-Output (Direct) Method: Fuel Efficiency (Q st + Q bd Q fw) Q ng x100 Q ng Natural Gas Q sl Stack loss Q ra Radiation Loss Q st Steam 2. Energy Balance (Indirect) Method: Fuel Efficiency Q ng (Q sl + Q ra ) Q ng x100 Q fw Feedwater Q bd Blowdown 34
35 ASME PTC Input Output (Direct) Method Fuel Efficiency (Q st + Q bd Q fw) Q ng x 100 Measurements Required: 1. Fuel flow rate 2. Steam flow rate 3. Feedwater flow rate 4. Steam pressure and temp. 5. Blowdown flow rate Considerations Q ng Natural Gas Q fw Feedwater Q st Steam Q bd Blowdown Most small to medium steam plants do not have flow meters, making it impossible to calculate efficiency using this method If steam flow meters are not maintained, their readings will not be accurate Often results in unrealistic efficiency values 35
36 ASME PTC Energy Balance (Indirect) Method Fuel Efficiency Q ng (Q sl + Q ra ) Q ng x100 Fuel Efficiency (%) = 100 Σ losses as a % of Q ng (Stack, Radiation, Unaccounted for) Measurements Required: 1. Measure stack losses (%) with a flue gas analyzer 2. Calculate radiation losses (%) Typically 0.5 to 1% of boiler rating 3. In some cases, include unaccounted for losses (%) 0.1% of input 4. Subtract from 100% Considerations Needs accurate measurements of losses Does not require gas and steam flow measurements Generally more accurate than Input-Output Method Preferred method by ASME PTC
37 Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency Practical efficiency Reflects the amount of fuel energy converted to steam No standard definition like Fuel Efficiency in ASME PTC But what is the "? Steam, yes, but what is the energy absorbed by steam? 37
38 Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency Input-Output Method = (Q st Q fw ) Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency (Q st Q fw ) Q ng Q ng Natural Gas Steam Q st Considerations Feedwater Need to measure: o Steam flow rate o Feedwater flow rate o Gas consumption Can we use the Energy Balance Method instead? Yes. 38
39 Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency Energy Balance Method Losses Q ng Q sl Stack Q ra Radiation F-t-S Q ng Q sl Q ra Q bd ) Q ng Natural Gas Steam = 100 Σ losses (% of Q ng ) Q Feedwater bd Considerations Blowdown Measure losses with a flue gas analyzer Notice: BD is considered a loss, ASME PTC considers it an output Very good tool to calculate steam flow rate Will do an exercise to calculate steam flow when Fuel-to-Steam efficiency is known 39
40 Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency Radiation loss (%of fuel input) is constant at all firing rates o A higher percentage of fuel input is lost at low firing rates Efficiency is reduced at low firing rates due to high excess O 2 and high radiation loss Optimum efficiency to operate boiler at is generally higher than 50% firing rate Efficiency (%) Combustion Effiency Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency Fuel Input (MBTU/HR) 40
41 Exercise # 2 Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency Calculate the fuel-to-steam efficiency using the Energy Balance Method. Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency = (Q ng Q sl Q ra - Q bd ) / Q ng Stack Loss (Q sl ) = (1- Ƞ combustion ) x Q ng Radiation Loss (Q ra ) = 1% of Boiler Rated Input Q sl = ( ) x 10.5 = 2.22 MMBtu/hr Q rad = 0.01 x 21 = 0.21 MMBtu/hr Parameters: Natural Gas (Q ng ) = 10.5 MMBtu/hr Blowdown (Q bd ) = 0.1 MMBtu/hr Boiler Input Rating = 21 MMBtu/hr Ƞ combustion = 78.9% Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency = ( ) / 10.5 = 76 %
42 Exercise # 3 Steam Flow Calculate the steam flow using the following parameters: Steam flow = Ƞ fuel-to-steam * Q in * 1,000,000 / ((hg-hfw) (%BD x hfw)) Q in Natural Gas Stack Feedwater Steam flow Blowdown (BD) (4%) Parameters: Indirect Ƞ fuel-to-steam = 76 % Natural Gas Input (Q in ) = 10.5 MMBtu/hr Blowdown (BD) % = 4% (0.04) Steam Enthalpy Gas (hg) = 1,189 Btu/lb FW enthalpy (hfw) = 198 Btu/lb Ƞ = Efficiency Steam Flow =( 0.76 x 10.5 x1,000,000) / ((1, ) - (4% x 198) = 8,118 pph
43 Exercise # 3 Steam Flow Most common mistake made in calculating steam flow is the use of Combustion Efficiency instead of Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency Ƞ combustion = 78.9 % Steam flow = Ƞ combustion * Q in * 1,000,000 / ((hg-hfw) (%BD x hfw)) = * 10.5 * 1,000,000 / {(1, ) (0.04 x 198)} = 8,428 pph (as compared to 8,118)

45 Summary of Efficiency Definitions Combustion Efficiency: % of fuel energy delivered to boiler Fuel Efficiency: % of fuel energy picked up by the boiler feedwater Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency: % of fuel energy used to produce steam Net plant Efficiency: % of fuel energy used to deliver steam out of steam plant 45
46 Cost of Steam When determining the cost of steam, three important variables must be considered: 1. At what point will you be evaluating the cost? Generation (Point A) Out of steam plant - line steam (Point B) Point of use (Point C) Natural Gas Steam A Steam to load B 2. What is to be included in the total cost? Varies (in-house use, sold to 3 rd party, etc.) DA Tank 8 psig 3.

47 Exercise # 4 Fuel Cost of Steam ($/1,000 lb) Calculate the cost of steam generated at Point A using the following parameters: Fuel Steam Cost($/1,000 lb) x Ƞ fuel to steam Parameters: Steam Enthalpy(hg) = 1,189 Btu/lb Feedwater Enthalpy (hfw) = 198 Btu/lb Ƞ fuel-to-steam = 76% Fuel Cost = $7.0MMBtu Fuel Steam Cost = $7.0 x (1, )Btu/lb/ (1,000 x 76%) = $9.1 to produce 1,000 lb of steam

49 Natural Gas Savings Opportunities
50 Gas Savings Opportunity Stack Loss Stack loss is a major source of heat loss Reducing stack loss will help us reduce our gas consumption and achieve our savings target Q ng = 100 Q sl = 21.0 Stack Q ra = 2.5 (1% of boiler rating) Q st Steam flow Natural Gas Q fw Feedwater Q bd = 0.7 (4% of FW) Blowdown 50
51 Gas Savings Opportunity Stack Loss Stack loss can be reduced by: CO 2 + 2H 2 O + X 2O 2 + (1 + x) 7.52 N 2 1. Improving combustion Reduce excess air (O 2 ) Reduce/eliminate CO and C x H y NG 2. Reducing flue gas temperature Recover heat from hot flue gases (40 F drop = 1% efficiency improvement) Air 3. Increasing combustion air temperature Consider air pre-heater Draw air from a high point in the boiler room 51
52 Reducing Excess O 2 Excess air is required to achieve proper combustion Excess air wastes heat as air enters at ambient temp. and leaves at stack temp. o 79% of air goes for a free ride How much excess air is required? Depends on burner design, boiler configuration, air/fuel control, etc.: o Older coil-tube boilers without Linkageless Controls (LLC) have high excess O 2 : (5% 12%) o Fire-tube boilers generally have lower excess O 2 : (4% 9%) o Large water-tube boilers can achieve lower excess O 2 : (2% - 6%)
53 How to Find the Optimum Level of O 2 1. Set up a flue gas analyzer 2. Bring boiler to the minimum firing or high firing rate 3. Reduce O 2 until CO starts to appear 4. Increase air slightly to give a safety margin 5. Lock this pin-position for this air:fuel ratio 6. Increase/decrease firing rate 7. Repeat process for each pin position to develop an O 2 characterization curve
54 Typical Excess O 2 Characterization Curves 54
55 Reducing Excess O 2 Increases Efficiency 5% O 2 = 77.8% efficiency 12% O 2 = 70% efficiency 55
56 Reducing FG Temperature Increases Efficiency 6% O 2 at 400 F = 79.5% efficiency 6% O 2 at 600 F = 74% efficiency 56
57 Exercise # 5a : Excess O 2 Cost Savings Use the Combustion Efficiency Chart to calculate the cost savings associated with reducing excess O 2 levels from 8% to 5%. Ƞ old = 78.9 % Calculate new ƞ Ƞ new = 80.6 % Excess, %FG Temperature - Combustion Air O
58 Exercise # 5b : Excess O 2 Cost Savings Calculate the cost savings associated with reducing excess O 2 levels from 8% to 5%. Energy Saving = Q in x {1 - (Ƞ old /Ƞ new )} Energy Saving = 10.5 x (1-78.9/80.6) = MMBtu/hr Annual Saving = x 5,000 = 1,105 MMBtu Conversion Factor = 1 MMBtu x (1,000,000Btu/1MMBtu) x (1ft 3 /1,012 Btu) x (1m 3 / ft 3 ) = m 3 Parameters: FG temp. Comb Air = 380 F Old excess O 2 = 8% New excess O 2 = 5% Ƞ old = 78.9% Ƞ new = 80.6% Q in = 10.5 MMBtu/hr Hours = 5,000 hrs Cost of Gas = $0.25/m 3 1 MMBtu = 1,000,000 Btu 1ft 3 Natural Gas = 1,012 Btu 1m 3 = ft 3 Annual Savings m 3 = 1,105 x = 30,920 m 3 Gas Cost Savings = $7,730 /yr per boiler 58
59 Linkageless Controls 59
60 Linkageless (LLC) Controls To properly assess the value of linkageless controls, we must first understand: 1. The purpose of combustion controls 2. The types of boiler combustion controls today we will focus on: Linkages Linkageless Controls 3. How LLCs improve combustion efficiency 60
61 Purpose of Combustion Controls: Maintain optimum air:fuel ratio at all firing rates to run boilers safely at optimum combustion efficiency Monitor process boiler temperature and pressure and quickly respond to changes in load 61
62 Linkage Combustion Controls Mechanical system using cams, linkages and jackshafts to characterize the air:fuel ratio A single actuator motor adjusts its jackshaft arm according to master load (demand) signal As the actuator motor moves the jackshaft, the arms connected to the fuel valve and air fan damper move with it Air:fuel ratio is set by adjusting the cam Primary Fuel Valve Second Fuel Valve Calibrating involves combustion tests in which actuator is positioned to various settings, usually at least 10, and at each setting setscrews are adjusted to achieve the desired O 2 level in flue gas Firing Rate Actuator Prime Motor Fan 62
63 Issues with Linkage Controls: Hysteresis or drift caused by wear, tear and slop in linkages Control devices do not return to the same position during boiler ramp-up or turn-down 63
64 Issues with Linkage Controls: Air : fuel ratio is typically set high to compensate for hysteresis Air : fuel ratio generally drifts after tune-up These issues result in: o Reduced efficiency o Safety concerns (High CO and combustibles) Most small boilers do not have an in-situ flue gas analyzer, and as a result, high CO can not be detected until tune-up. 64
65 Linkageless Combustion Controls Obviously no linkages Linkageless Combustion Control System Individual servomotors attached to gas valve and air damper. Position of each motor is programmed independently P Steam Pressure A programmable control unit provides precise air:fuel ratio over entire range No hysteresis for a properly tuned and maintained LLC system Microprocessor Controller Natural Gas Combustion Air Damper with Servo Motor Drive Gas Control Valve with Servo Motor Drive Additional controller can be added to provide O 2 trim Combustion Air Blower Burner 65

69 Gas Savings Opportunity: Linkageless Controls 1. No hysteresis o Function of Base Case burner age 2. Improved combustion efficiency due to: o Reduced excess air o Accurate characterization of air:fuel ratio o Accurate control of firing rate o Depends on how much excess O 2 can be reduced 3. Reduced cycling due to improved turn-down o Savings are a function of Base Case burner turndown 4. Additional savings due to O 2 trim 69

71 Gas Savings Opportunity: Install LLC Reduce O 2 Maintain optimum air/fuel all the time Savings Initiative Savings Removal of hysteresis 0.50 % Improved combustion 2.19 % Increased turndown 0.13 % Total 2.82 % Annual gas savings /boiler 41,427 m 3 /yr Gas cost saving / boiler $10,357 Gas savings for 3 boilers 124,281 m 3 Gas cost savings for 3 boilers $31, % Saved 71
72 Personal experiences with LLC Some vendors claim 10-15% savings, based on unrealistic assumptions Savings possible if burner is in very bad condition with very high O 2, CO, Combustibles, Cycling etc. Need to establish base case performance Your ESC will help you establish a base line to calculate realistic savings Important to estimate savings based on a real base case LLC installation for a less than 100 HP (4.2 MMBtu/hr input) boiler would typically not be cost effective 72
73 Blowdown Loss 73
74 Gas Savings Opportunity: Blowdown (BD) Loss Blowdown loss can be reduce by: 1. Reducing amount of BD 2. Recovering BD heat Flash tank Heat exchanger 74
75 Blowdown Basics When water is boiled, steam is generated Solids are left behind: o o Suspended solids form sludge which degrades heat transfer Dissolved solids promote foaming and water carryover Water is discharged to keep solids within acceptable limits o o Bottom blowdown from mud drum removes suspended solids (once/twice a day) Surface blowdown removes dissolved solids, concentrated near liquid surface (continuous) Insufficient BD leads to carryover and deposits Excessive BD leads to wasted energy, water and chemicals Blowdown water temp. is same as steam Typical range is 3% 6% of feedwater 75

81 Insulation of Pipes and Valves 81
82 Gas Savings Opportunity: Insulation of Pipes and Valves Reasons for installing and monitoring insulation on steam valves and pipes: Bare pipes and valves lose a significant amount of heat Insulation is required to prevent heat loss through valves and pipes Lack of proper insulation poses a safety hazard to plant workers Insulation is often removed or damaged during maintenance without being replaced Any surface over 120 F should be insulated 82
83 Gas Savings Opportunity: Insulation of Pipes and Valves Insulation increases the amount of steam energy available for end uses Insulation can reduce heat loss by 90% Valves have a large surface area: e.g. a 6 gate valve may have over 6 square feet of surface area Removable and reusable insulation covers that are easy to remove and replace are available Your ESC can provide savings estimates 3EPLUS software is available 83

101 Basic Concept of Condensing Heat Recovery When one molecule of CH 4 is burned, it produces two molecules of H 2 O CH 4 + 2O N 2 CO 2 + 2H 2 O N 2 16 lb 1 lb 36 lb 2.25 lb One lb of CH 4 produces 2.25 lb of water One lb of Natural Gas produces 2.14 lb of water
102 Basic Concepts of Condensing Heat Recovery Water in products of combustion is vaporized due to heat of combustion Water vapours absorb about 10% of fuel input (Hydrogen Loss in Combustion Efficiency) Energy is lost to atmosphere with exhaust gases through stack Heat of vaporization can be recovered if flue gases are cooled below water dew point When water vapour condenses, it releases heat of vaporization Condensing economizer recovers both: 1. Heat of condensation (latent heat) 2. Sensible heat
103 Types of Condensing Economizers Indirect Contact Direct Contact 200 F 135 F Source: DOE Condensing Economizers Tip Sheets
104 Sensible and latent heat As flue gas temperature decreases, efficiency increases Condensation starts below dew point at about 137 F Sensible heat only Excess O2 = 5% 104

109 Case Study: Indirect Condensing Economizer Two 350 HP coil tube boilers, 105 psig saturated steam 100% boiler make-up water 5 day x 24 hr operation ConDex condensing economizer system installed on roof Pull exhaust from two stacks into one common duct feeding Condex
110 Case Study: Indirect Condensing Economizer System heats boiler make-up water from 65 F up to 165 F At maximum load the system recovers 2,541,000 Btu/hr Projected Gas savings: $190,000 Payback: 1.4 yrs.
111 Typical Applications Industries with steam boilers, requiring a large amount of hot water such as make-up, washing, process, DHW Best Candidates: o Textile, commercial laundries o Food and beverage o Breweries o Non-integrated paper mills o Chemicals o District heating o Large hospitals o Greenhouses
112 Key Considerations Establish how much heat is available o Existing FW economizer, Flue gas temp., excess O 2, steam production, gas consumption, hours of operation, etc. Is there sufficient heat sink available? o Boiler make-up water o Domestic hot water o Process water Entering temperature of heat sink must be below dew point to cause condensation Evaluate impact on existing system including blowdown, flash steam, DA, water treatment etc.
113 Key Considerations Space for installation, stacks, icing due to plume impingement, indoor/outdoor installation, etc. Cost savings, installation costs, payback Direct versus indirect? o Site specific o Customer preference o Cost o Temperature requirement o Application o Heat sink, etc.
114 Key Considerations Not an off-the-shelf technology for many applications. Often an engineered solution is required. Requires a good understanding of the technology and its application. Needs a suitable heat sink. Small amounts of make-up water (25%) capture only a small portion of available heat. Need to include condensing economizer as part of a standard steam plant assessment. Condensing heat recovery is a proven, commercially available cost-effective technology
115 Case Study: In-line Condensing Economizer For individual boilers ( BHP), a new in-line condensing stack economizer is available: 115
