No steam without water
Hagelschuer configures efficient water treatment
Without professional water treatment, steam and hot water plants will experience enormous problems and high follow-up costs. Feed water must always be treated and controlled because natural waters, groundwater or drinking water carry various accompanying substances. For example, hardness constituents in water can form poorly soluble compounds that settle in steam boilers, pipes, tanks and walls. These deposits are the cause of corrosion and heat loss.
For example, if untreated water with 20 °dH flows into a steam boilerfor 10 hours, already 1 mm of lime layer is formed on the inner wall of the boiler. In this case, 1 mm of lime layer may already lead to a loss of efficiency of up to 20%. The thicker the lime layer, the higher the risk of overheating, cracking and corrosion. At the same time, theconsumption of energy and water increases. In the worst case (e.g. heat accumulation and partial overheating between the lime layer and the boiler wall), operating and production losses occur.
Significant savings potentials can be generated with suitable water treatment. Our Hagelschuer experts help you to save water and energy, so you not only protect the environment, but you also ensure an economical operation of your boiler system.
