Condensate recovery system
Reference: H.1.3
Recycle condensats in boiler to recover heat.
For manufacturing units using steam in heat exchangers( food-processing, textile industry)
Recovery efficiency 5 to 10 % of fuel energy consumption
Estimated pay back time short term : 2-4 years, medium term: 4-6 years, long term : 6-8 years (*)
Medium/long term
Energy contained in the steam condensates represents more than 10 % of the available energy; these condensats are evacuated at high temperature by steam traps ; if they are not polluted, they can be partially sent back in the boiler by an appropriate network.
