Industrial steam generators with condensing technology are becoming more popular.

However, in large heating systems, and particularly in connection with steam generators in the several-megawatt power range, condensing technology has been all too rarely used to date, even though it brings major operating benefits if the conditions are right.

Condensing technology does not only use the tangible warmth of the heating gas – it also makes partial use of the evaporation warmth within the water vapour. In comparison with conventional heating boilers with normal calorific value usage, the use of condensing technology can reduce fuel usage and emissions by more than 10%..

Steam generators have a long tradition in the history of technology – after all, it was steam-powered machinery that started the Industrial Revolution. Today, a remarkable state of technical development has been achieved in this area. And yet steam generation using condensing technology is still an energy concept that is largely or completely ignored. This may be due to the fact that people are not aware of the general conditions required to use this technology efficiently, and because these conditions do not always exist. A change in fuel usage patterns is now benefiting condensing technology, a fact which LOOS INTERNATIONAL has tackled and summarised in a Specialist Report.
