Improve industrial water heaters' efficiency

While purchasing the best quality manufactured industrial heating elements from a reputable vendor such as WATTCO™ will help in achieving optimal equipment performance and efficiency, there are a few other ways to insure greater energy efficiency. By some estimates, it is said that any given manufacturing plant could slash energy costs by as much as 10 percent annually and cut CO2 emissions by more than 20,000 metric tons. To improve the performance of industrial water heaters, follow a few guidelines recommended by the United States Department of Energy.

To maximize the combustion efficiency of a boiler, try operating it with as much excess air as is practical. This will minimize heat loss so that industrial heater elements don't have to work as hard or as long to maintain temperatures. Boilers that operate with an annual fuel cost of $50,000 or more could benefit the most from this technique. An inexpensive, handheld analyzer will help measure the gas output so air can be adjusted for maximum efficiency. (In some cases where a variety of fuels and steam flows are involved, it may be beneficial to install an online oxygen analyzer to automatically monitor and adjust fuel-to-air ratios.)
