Boilers are used to heat water or produce steam. They are an essential piece of equipment for many processing industries.
These units can be powered by gas, oil, coal, or electric. They can also recycle used oil to generate power, reducing overhead costs and legal liabilities. They are ideal for car wash owners looking to increase their margins.
The Cost
Boilers use fuel more efficiently than furnaces and can last up to 30 years with regular maintenance. They are more expensive to install than forced air systems, but homeowners can offset the initial cost by insulating their homes, using a programmable thermostat, and weather stripping doors and windows.
The most important component of a boiler is its heat source, which can be gas, oil, coal, or electric. The fuel is burned in a combustion chamber to generate the steam or hot water. Whether a used boiler is in good shape depends on the care with which it was run in the past.
The Reliability
Boilers are heavy-duty equipment that operate under very high temperature and pressures. Depending on the application, they may be powered by natural gas, oil, coal, or biomass. Generally, they are used to heat water, make steam or produce electricity.
Whether buying a new or used boiler, it is critical to carefully assess the condition of its pressure components. If the pressure body is in poor condition then, a new or used boiler will not have much life left. Similarly, changing the tubes or furnace on a boiler will only increase its maintenance costs over time.
The best way to reduce forced outage rates and the extend used boilers life is by implementing a comprehensive the reliability program. This includes unit specific operational training, advanced data management and strategic inspection, maintenance and replacement prioritization. This approach results in improved safety and a significant reduction in maintenance costs. It also provides the opportunity to achieve long-term value targets through world class risk management, life-cycle management and optimal renewal strategies.
The Value
In many cases, purchasing a used boiler can be less expensive than repairing or replacing a modern boiler. Furthermore, many new high-efficiency wood-fuelled boilers come with decades-long warranties, which can greatly reduce initial purchase costs.
Boilers are hardy pieces of machinery that can chug away for decades generating steam and heating your home. However, like any piece of equipment, they will eventually need to be replaced. If you’re considering a new boiler, make sure to compare prices of both old and new models.
