Welcome back to the Better Building Systems Podcast with the Building Hotrodders! In this episode the Hotrodders bring back Steam expert Chase to continue the steam discussion, specifically on Steam, Energy Conservation at Point of Production. This discussion revolves around steam boilers and Energy Conservation Measures to help make the Boilers as efficient as possible. Throughout the episode we discuss steam boilers in general, typical efficiencies of boilers, where energy is lost in boilers, how the experts dive into energy studies with these systems, and much more. Some key discussion topics of the episode are boiler blowdown controls/energy recovery, stack economizers, combustion air preheating, and O2 trim. We also cover maintenance requirements such as trap maintenance, burner maintenance, and boiler tuning to keep boilers operating in peak efficiency. As always this was a very interesting discussion and having the experts cover how they approach steam plant energy studies, different energy conservation measures to implement, important maintenance items, and key considerations for all types of facilities implementing steam boilers was eye opening. Tune into the episode to hear some great discussion on steam boilers and key efficiency measures! For more information on us check out our webpages:
