Electric Steam Generators
Main features of electric generators:
An electric boiler is a type of pressure vessel in which the energy transfer for steam generation is achieved through electric resistances.
These resistances, immersed in the liquid phase of the fluid, transfer all the heat energy, resulting in optimal thermal efficiency.
Electric boilers do not emit pollutants into the atmosphere and, therefore, do not require a chimney for the release of combustion gases.
They also don’t require fuel storage tanks with supply lines, only an electrical connection.
The use of renewable energy sources directly contributes to reducing environmental impact, making it a realistic goal to achieve complete elimination of emissions, thus turning the installation into a neutral or “net zero” system.
Some advantages of our electric steam generators
compared to other steam production methods are as follows:
Eficiencia:
Even at low utilization levels, the electric alternative is more efficient than fossil fuels, allowing for smaller installation dimensions for the same generation capacity.
Emisión cero de gases contaminantes:
It is neutral in direct emissions and has the potential to be 100% clean through the use of renewable energy.
Seguridad:
There is no combustion, smoke emission, or other gases. It also does not require a specialist to operate or a boiler room.
Coste de mantenimiento:
Structural and mechanical simplicity allows for streamlined and cost-effective maintenance.
Potencia incremental en función de necesidades (modularidad):
Possibility to configure a generator with multiple independent power options.
Simplificación de la instalación:
Possibility of installing the electric boiler near the point of steam application, reducing installation costs and inefficiencies in pressure and temperature.
Essential components of an electric steam generator:
Each component performs a specific function in an industrial steam generator, contributing to efficient and safe operation.
