Condensate Recovery & Return - Heat Recovery & Boiler Blow

Steam boilers need to be blown down to control the level of total dissolved solids. The boiler water discharged contains heat, which can be recovered to increase energy efficiency. Heat recovery is most effectively applied in conjunction with an automatic TDS level control system, which regulates the discharge of boiler blowdown water such that it is available to the heat recovery system.


Only heat recovery systems that recover greater than 80% of the total heat contained in the blowdown discharge are eligible under the ECA Scheme.
