5 Basic Ways To Make The Boiler More Efficient

What is the importance of using energy-efficient equipment for your business?

The major difference that it brings is a minimal operating expense which can be the easiest way to be in the budget. And to keep all equipment energy-efficient, proper maintenance is equally important.

Especially for boilers, proper maintenance can easily help you get improved productivity. Professional boiler cleaning after a certain period of time is quite essential. Along with this, maintenance should be done in an expected way.

Know how to boost efficiency

In this article today we will be discussing the various tips of boosting efficiency. Now, what is this boiler efficiency?

Efficiency is basically the measurement of performance that a boiler can do. With the minimum amount of heat, the boiler should give you the highest productivity. That is called an efficient boiler. The gas used by the boiler should be used in minimum at the lowest possible temperature.

Follow these tips to get your boiler efficient

There are various ways by which you can actually boost up the performance of the boiler. Whether having an own boiler or rented one, these tips can be useful to get the highest productivity:

  1. Stack temperature must be lowered

The operating pressure on steam boilers is reduced and this can conveniently increase the efficiency of the boiler. This is a very simple task and can be done as a day/night set back method.

  1. Economizer can be used

To utilize the wasted hot flue gas can be used up by the economizer which is used to heat the feed water. Basically it saves the fuel and also protects the boiler from any damages too. This must be your first priority for making your boiler energy efficient.

  1. The burner must be turned on a regular basis

Not getting the right amount of air is also another cause of using up a higher amount of energy. So tuning the burner regularly will give the right amount of oxygen which helps in the right combustion. Lower air will not burn the fuel properly which will produce lesser heat. Thus more and fuel will be used up for normal productivity.

  1. Valve insulation

During the boiler cleaning process, it is one of the most important tasks that have to be accomplished.  Due to hassles, many plants don’t put back the insulator any way. But that is the main mistake that can cause many problems with efficiency.  You can readily increase the boiler temperature with the valve insulation which brings significant changes in productivity.

  1. Combustion air should be preheated

The incoming air has to be heated up to use up the fuel and get the temperature. But if you can put into warm air then it should take up lesser fuel to get the desired temperature. It can reduce a significantly minimum of 1% of the fuel bill too.

Conclusion

The above tips are quite common and are not unknown to us. But we often overlook them or not take them into consideration. Make sure that you follow them and bring a significant change in the productivity of the boiler with lesser fuel bills.
