Electric boiler

Electric boilers, also known as electric boilers, are now one of the indispensable devices for many industries. With the ability to provide a stable, energy-saving and environmentally friendly steam source, electric boilers have become the top choice for factories, hospitals, and restaurants.

What is an electric boiler?

An electric steam boiler is a type of equipment that uses electricity to produce steam. Steam is generated from high temperature water by using an electric source to heat the water in the boiler.

Electric boilers work by applying electricity to a resistance system to create heat. This heat is transferred through the water tank wall, increasing the temperature of the water and turning the water into steam.

Steam is used in many applications, such as powering industrial processes, heating systems in buildings, cooking, cleaning, and many others.

Compared to boilers that use fuels such as oil, gas or coal, electric boilers have a number of benefits, such as:

• Simple and convenient in installation and operation.
• There are no emissions that pollute the environment, because there is no burning of fuel.
• The heat conversion rate is large, so it can quickly supply steam when required.
• High reliability because there are no complex moving parts like in fossil fuel boilers.

Structural features of electric boilers

The structure of an electric combustion boiler will include the following basic accessories: resistor, pressure gauge, supply valves, blowdown valve, safety valve, light tube, bypass valve.

Electric boilers have a quite compact design, ensuring convenience and not being bulky or heavy like other industrial boilers. Therefore, it ensures compatibility in many usage models and is applied to small and medium capacity manufacturing plants.

The electrical capacity of the boiler ranges from about 12kW to 72kW. This electrical capacity ranges from 12 Kw, 18 Kw, 36Kw, 50 Kw, 60 Kw, 72Kw, 80Kw, 100Kw depending on each purpose of use and businesses will make the best adjustments.

Furthermore, the saturated water boiler has high pressure up to 10 bar, operating capacity up to 10kg/hour.

In addition, electric boilers also help maximize energy savings, minimize operating costs compared to boilers using oil and gas fuel, and product maintenance costs are relatively low.

All electric boiler equipment has a structure that is suitable for not causing environmental pollution. On the other hand, the cost of electricity consumption is not high and is many times cheaper than fuel lines such as kerosene or other types of gas.

Outstanding advantages of electric boilers

• Due to the simple structure of the boiler, the pot base size is also simple from 50l to 500l.
• The pot’s body material is stainless steel so the life of the device is quite high.
• Furthermore, the boiler’s heating form uses direct power to boil water.
• The power source used during operation ranges from 50kW to 5000kW.
• The initial investment cost for the boiler is quite low, the operating fuel cost is also quite cheap, and the equipment can be used in many different working environments so it is quite convenient.
• The cost and process of caring for and maintaining a boiler is quite simple and does not take much time.
• In addition, electric boilers do not pollute the environment, the heat generated is completely absorbed, so it is environmentally friendly.
• The boiler operation process does not generate noise, the engine is smooth, and there is no discomfort when operating the boiler for a long time.
• The capacity and temperature of the boiler can be adjusted depending on the user’s intended use.
• There are a variety of electric boiler models such as single-phase electric boilers, industrial electric boilers, and mini electric boilers, helping users freely choose products according to scale, as well as according to their purpose of use.
• Besides the outstanding advantages of the device, electric boilers also have the disadvantage that they can cause the national power grid to fail at a level that exceeds the limit. Or in case of a power outage, it is difficult for the boiler to be combined with the generator.
