Tubular Air Heater Corrosion: Evaluation and Prevention

When maximizing boiler performance, the main hindrance can often be within the boiler backpasses. Over time, the economizer, tubular air heater (TAH), dust collector, and other backend equipment can erode, corrode, exhibit air in-leakage or have other performance issues that negatively impact the efficiency of the boiler. One common issue

Don’t Heat the Sky! Maximizing Heat Capture In Boiler Systems.

New, larger economizer ready to be installed in Plymouth, NC. Old economizer in the foreground. Combustion efficiency and heat capture efficiency are two important factors to consider when analyzing a boiler’s overall operating efficiency. Combustion efficiency relates to how effectively a boiler furnace and combustion system is able to combust
