What is a High Efficiency Gas Boiler?
High efficiency, or condensing, boilers use ninety percent of their energy, saving money for the individual or business who possesses it. These boilers waste only ten percent of the energy produced.
What is a Burner Management System?
A burner management system or BMS is an engineered hazard control oil and gas operators use to ensure a process heater’s safe start-up, operation, and shutdown. There are manual and automatic burner management systems.
What is a Temperature Control Valve?
Temperature Control Valves, also called temperature regulators, regulate temperatures in boilers. There are two types of control valves. Self-actuated or self-operated control valves work without an external power source. Externally actuated valves need an external power source to function. Consult a heating professional to understand which one is better for your needs.
Three Types of Steam Traps and Their Applications
Mechanical, thermostatic, and thermodynamic steam traps differ in how they operate. One steam trap applies better to specific situations than another does.
Save Energy and Facility Costs with a Boiler Economizer
Boiler Economizers save the thermal energy lost in the boiler stack exhaust and use fluid, normally boiler feedwater, to absorb the heat. There are two types of economizers: dry and condensing.
Boiler Maintenance Checklist
A boiler maintenance checklist prevents unexpected deterioration and harmful boiler room accidents. The Internet provides abundant checklist templates for residential, commercial, and industrial boiler operators.
Opportunities in the Skilled Trades and Technical School Education
Why should you consider entering the skilled trades or technical school education? What was once an exception has become an expectation among the millions of graduating high school students: acceptance into a traditional college or university to earn a four-year degree. Whether or not our students know what they will do when/if they graduate, is […]
Improve Efficiency and Lower Fuel Costs with the Hurst Stackmaster Economizer
Engineered Energy Equipment recommends the Hurst internal stack economizer, a factory-optional device that increases the efficiency of a boiler by cutting down on its operational costs (including fuel costs) over the lifetime of the boiler. The Hurst Stackmaster acts as a waste recovery device, as some heat energy is inevitably lost when the flue glasses […]
Reduce Fuel Consumption with a New Boiler
With fuel prices skyrocketing and the need to conserve natural resources and “go green,” many boiler room engineers are investing in upgrading their equipment to reduce fuel consumption and increase boiler room efficiency. Heating oil alone has jumped from two ($2) dollars a gallon to five ($5) dollars a gallon over the past few months. So […]
