In the Condensate Tank system, steam is used as the heating medium, and during condensation, it transfers its thermal energy to the boiler feedwater through an energy transfer method. This raises the temperature of the boiler feedwater. Temperature control automation in the Condensate tank can be provided with a thermostatic valve when needed. It prevents thermal shocks caused by cold condensate in the boiler.
The Condensate tank prevents the dissipation of energy into the atmosphere and enables heat recovery. There are two types of Condensate tanks available: horizontal condensate tank and vertical condensate tank.
The boiler feedwater inside the Condensate tank is heated either through heating coils or an open steam inlet. Depending on customer preferences, the condensate tank can be insulated with sheet metal covered with rock wool to prevent heat loss to the external environment. Since the feedwater doesn't lose its energy in the condensate tank, the amount of energy required in the boiler is reduced, resulting in fuel savings. Optionally, it can be delivered as a package (including all fixtures) as per customer request.
