The heart of an industrial boiler system is a hot water or steam boiler operated with a certain kind of fuel. The boiler heats up or evaporates the water inside it, which is then transported to the consumers via pipe systems. In case of hot water the transport energy is generated by pumps, in case of steam the transport is based on inherent pressure. The cooled water or the condensed steam returns to the boiler where it can be heated again. Loss of water must be compensated by treated fresh water to avoid corrosion. Flue gases created by combustion are discharged into the atmosphere through a chimney. Particularly efficient systems additionally use the residual heat in the flue gases.
The use of boiler systems in practice Industrial hot water boiler systems for generating thermal heat are very similar to the household heating boilers in our cellars. The main difference is that industrial boilers are dimensioned significantly larger, so their heating capacity is not only sufficient for a family home but also for hotels, hospitals, skyscrapers, industrial buildings or entire districts. When using process heat generated by steam boiler systems the individual applications are far more versatile. They are used in many industry sectors.
