Waste Heat Recovery - How To Maximize Natural Gas Boiler Efficiency With A Condensing Economizer

The bottom line is a top priority for anyone who owns or operates a business. If alternative methods can be used to improve that bottom line, you take action! Natural gas or LP boiler and appliance owners should know that saving money is possible through the use of a Flue Gas Condensing Economizer. Equally important are the beneficial effects a heat recovery system has on the environment.

Making your boilers and appliances as efficient as possible means potentially having tens of thousands of extra dollars in your pocket annually (for decades to come). By investing in proven technology and by upgrading your equipment, you too can experience this reality.

Typically, natural gas or LP boilers and appliances run at between 80 - 85% efficiency, with the remaining 15-20% of original energy escaping up the chimney in the flue gases. Installing a condensing economizer creates an instant upgrade to 90-95% efficiency for your equipment, allowing you to start saving immediately.

Many of us have seen the news reports about the future of our planet and very are concerned. Summers are slowing getting hotter, more rain is falling during winter, and every strong storm is becoming a stronger storm. Science has led many to believe that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the main reason for this climate predicament, much of which is coming from the emission of industrial flue gases.

The good news is that your business can be a part of the solution, by reducing your C02 emissions while actually saving you money at the same time. By lowering the volume of flue gas escaping into the air, waste heat recovery with a condensing economizer automatically reduces the amount of CO2 being released by your company, That's not only good for the environment - it's great for your company's reputation as well.

Conserving water is another important issue we face today. As summers grow warmer, and winters are not bringing as much snow fall, our most needed resource is becoming a sparse commodity. A dwindling amount of only 2% of the world's water supply is suitable for drinking making it increasingly necessary to conserve water whenever possible.

Out of the many components that escape in normal flue gas, roughly 8% is water vapor. A condensing economizer changes the normally escaped water vapor into water that can be used; preventing large (sometimes hundreds of gallons per hour) of water from being wasted that you're paying for. Again, it's not only the environment that you are helping to improve, but you're also increasing your bottom line.

With an economy as it is today, business's should give proper consideration to opportunities that save money and help the environment. Condensing economizers not only provide maximum efficiency to your boilers, but also improve your overall business by creating more money for your bottom line. By making an investment in waste heat recovery technology you're taking a positive step towards benefiting your business, the environment, and your customer.
