Boiler Feed Tanks

CONDENSATE RETURN/FEEDWATER SYSTEMS | HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL MODELS

Purpose
Whenever possible, the water from used steam, known as condensate, should be returned to the boiler. This condensed water is not only free from corroding minerals, chemicals and oxygen, but also carries a substantial percentage of the heat necessary to convert it back into steam. Therefore, every pound of hot condensate returned to the boiler saves fuel, prolongs the life of the boiler and reduces stress from cold water make-up.
