Steam Boilers
Converting electrical energy into heat is becoming increasingly common. Thanks to the increase in renewable energy installations, there are times of the day when surplus electricity is produced at a very low cost. This surplus can be converted into thermal energy with so-called “PowertoHeat” systems.
The HGV range of boilers specially manufactured for heat transfer can produce up to 10,000kg/hour of steam at 16 bar.
Plug and play: mounted on SKIDS for easy on-site installation
Electric operation does not require gas/oil supply or chimney system
Up to 10MW and 15 bar
Low and medium voltage
Control panel with system visualization, various interfaces to existing building management systems (BMS)
Design and manufacture according to PED 2014/68/EC or ASME Sect. VIII Div. 1

Why choose an electric steam generator?
- Efficiency: Even at low utilization levels, the electric alternative is more efficient than fossil fuels, allowing to reduce the installation size for the same generation capacity.
- Zero emissions of pollutants: It has neutral direct emissions and the potential to be 100% clean through the use of renewable energy.
- Safety: There is no combustion, smoke, or other gas emissions. It also does not require a specialist to operate or a boiler room.
- Maintenance cost:Due to their simpler structural and mechanical design, electric steam generators streamline and reduce maintenance time and costs.
- Incremental power based on
needs (modularity): The possibility to configure a generator modularly with multiple independent power options. - Simplified installation:Electric boilers can be installed near the point of
steam application, reducing installation costs and inefficiencies in pressure and temperature.

FAQs
We understand that many questions may arise. Here are some of the most common ones.
There are no emissions beyond those produced during the electricity production process. Consequently, emissions can be neutral depending on the electricity mix. Electric steam boilers are the present and the future.
Absolutely. In fact, it is recommended to achieve maximum efficiency. There is no problem with remote control as long as it complies with current regulations.
A steam generator is a pressure vessel that, together with the piping network, is subject to regulatory control and complementary technical instructions, according to the regulations published in Royal Decree 809/2021, of September 21. Maintenance is divided into a part that can be easily fulfilled by the owner:
- Know and apply the manufacturer’s instructions regarding use, safety measures, and maintenance.
- Not to put the installation into service or prevent the operation of pressure equipment if the requirements of the Regulation are not met.
- Having at least the following documentation for the pressure equipment while they are installed: Declaration of conformity, manufacturer’s instructions (if applicable), and, if necessary, installation certificate, along with other supporting documentation (such as installation project, record of the last periodic inspection, certifications of equipment repairs or modifications, and any other documentation required by the relevant technical instruction complementary to this regulation). For detailed contents, refer to Annex IV of the regulation. Making this documentation available to the competent authority of the autonomous community and the companies responsible for maintenance, repair, or periodic inspections.
- Use the pressure equipment within its intended operating limits as specified by the manufacturer and take it out of service if it no longer meets the necessary safety requirements.
- Perform maintenance on the installations, pressure equipment, safety accessories, and control devices in accordance with the operating conditions and manufacturer’s instructions, and examine them at least once a year.
- Arranging for the necessary periodic inspections as required by Article 6 of the regulation.
- Having and maintaining an up-to-date record of pressure equipment categories I to IV, as defined in RD 709/2015, of July 24, or equipment similar to these categories according to Article 3.2 of the regulation, as well as their installations.
It is known that by applying heat to water, it transforms into steam at the boiling point and atmospheric pressure. From there, depending on the required saturation degree of steam for its proper application, we need to increase the pressure to obtain a higher temperature. To change the temperature and saturation degree of steam, we always need to modify the pressure.
It is a unit of pressure equivalent to 1 kg/cm2, 0.98 atmospheres, or 14.50 PSI.
