The pressurized condensate system is a specialized assembly designed to increase the efficiency of steam generation equipment, reducing fuel consumption and improving water quality through in-circuit treatment.
Unlike atmospheric condensate tanks—where a significant amount of energy and water is lost as condensate flashes into steam upon entering the tank at temperatures exceeding 100°C—this pressurized system ensures that practically all condensate is reused, minimizing flash steam and preventing energy and water losses.
Compared to a standard atmospheric system (estimating a boiler feedwater inlet temperature of 80°C), the fuel savings achieved with the Pressurized Condensate System by raising the boiler inlet water temperature would be:
Inlet Temperature | Fuel Savings |
120 ºC | 6,8 % |
130 ºC | 8,5 % |
140 ºC | 10,2 % |
