With the aim of decarbonizing industry, electric steam boilers are gaining an increasing presence in factories.
The use of renewable electricity and green technologies allows you to reduce emissions in industrial heating processes, offering an alternative solution to meet your industrial steam generation demand, .
Advances in electric steam generator technology
Industries use steam for various purposes, such as sterilization, surface sanitization or as heating and heat transfer in different industrial processes.
The most innovative electric steam generators stand out for:
- Higher efficiency: efficiency levels close to 99% due to the absence of combustion processes where heat leakage represents up to 40% of the installed power.
- Energy savings: the electric steam boiler can be configured to be used only when electricity from renewable sources is available, which allows for greater energy savings.
Electric industrial steam boilers do not emit direct polluting gases, and thanks to the use of green energy they can obtain electricity from renewable sources.
Principle of operation of electric steam generators
Electric steam generators are devices that generate steam through the application of heat to a fluid, usually water.
For example, our static steam generators can supply heat with outputs ranging from 6kW to 1,620kW. We can also generate different types of steam (wet, saturated, supersaturated) depending on the needs of the industry.
The principle of operation of steam generators is based on condensation heating.
- Electric generators use resistors to convert electrical energy into heat.
- The heat is transferred to the feed water, which, as its temperature and pressure increase, turns into steam.
- Through the control system, temperature and pressure are monitored to keep them within limits.
- The steam generated has different applications, as a source of mechanical energy or heating, for different industrial or commercial uses.
Integration of control and automation systems
The use of industrial electric steam boilers allows effective control and monitoring through sensors and measuring devices. These allow real-time measurement of water temperature, flow rate, pressure or combustion efficiency and send data to the control system.
Through the centralized control system, it is possible to monitor boiler operation and set up automations that allow decisions to be made based on the data provided by the sensors.
In this way, the control system can adjust the amount of electrical energy supplied by the heaters or the thermal energy provided to keep the steam pressure and temperature within the desired limits.
This makes it possible to maximize efficiency and prevent overheating, apply automatic safety measures if abnormal conditions are detected, or regulate steam generation processes to minimize energy consumption and make better use of electricity from renewable sources.
Contribution of electric steam boilers to sustainability
The use of electric steam boilers, powered by renewable energy sources, allows industries to make intelligent use of resources, improve their efficiency and contribute to the improvement of the environment by reducing emissions.
It can also lead to greater cost efficiencies by bringing greater control over the use of electrical energy for heat generation.
Energy efficiency and rational use of resources.
Industrial steam electric boilers are highly efficient, achieving 100% efficiency in the conversion of electrical energy into heat.
Electric steam boilers provide optimum heat transmission and also help to reduce radiation losses, thanks to their insulation.
