Utilise your waste heat
May 4th 2009 Many processes such as refrigeration and power generation produce heat as a waste process. With current fuel prices it is more viable than ever to harness this heat to produce hot water for heating or steam for use elsewhere in the process. Even if the waste heat on its own is not sufficient to raise the required output, combination boilers can be installed which have a traditional burner and a waste heat inlet in the same boiler shell.
Byworth Boilers manufacture waste heat boilers and combination waste heat/fired boilers such as the two 10,000kgs/hr boilers currently being installed in a leading London teaching hospital as part of a new CHP energy centre. Byworth’s Chief Design Engineer John Fox is a leading authority in the UK on waste heat boilers and designed the boilers specifically for the hospital to produce maximum output with minimum fuel usage whilst maintaining optimum pressure drop. Flue gas economisers are also an integral part of the boilers’ design to utilise heat from the flue gases to preheat feed water, ensuring energy efficiency and low carbon footprint.
