The performance of a condensing economiser fitted to an industrial gas fired steam boiler. A demonstration at British Steel Tinplate`s Ebbw Vale plant

Abstract

Savings worth Pound 55,480 were realised when a condensing economiser was fitted to a gas fired steam boiler at British Steel Tinplate`s Ebbw Vale plant. It was fitted to take full advantage of their cold nitrogen de-aerated feedwater. The condensing economiser includes a reheat section, whereby a proportion of the recovered heat is returned to the flue gases to raise them above their dew point, thus eliminating the risk of corrosion to the flue. The estimated savings compared to a boiler without an economiser yield a simple payback to the original investment of Pound 84,500 of 1.52 years, rising to 1.8 years when British Steel`s additional capital expenditure is taken into account.
