Heat is the basis of all life. Thermal heat is necessary, depending
on the geographic location and time of the year. There are also a
number of processes that are only possible through heat:

• Cooking
• Boiling
• Food and Drink Industry
• Paper
• Building
• Chemical
• Textile industry
• Heating Foods Paper Beverages
• Textile
• Cleaning
• Building
• Materials

Industrial boiler systems use water and steam as heat carriers.
Heat is necessary to heat buildings and used for many industrial processes.
Heat is usually produced centrally and passed on via a transport medium, the heat carrier. This heat carrier is transported to the respective consumer, there the heat is transferred to the consumer, and the cooled-down heat carrier medium is returned to the central heat producer to be heated up again.
Hot water or steam boilers are relatively similar in design. The boiler pressure vessel is a horizontal, cylindrical tube closed at both sides with an end plate and insulated all around. There is a flame tube (1st pass) in this pressure vessel, which is fired through a burner and an internally situated reversing chamber that reverses the flue gases and leads them back in the 2nd smoke tube pass. On the front of the boiler is an external reversing chamber, which again reverses the flue gases and leads them to the end of the boiler in the 3rd smoke tube pass. Hot water boilers are normally completely filled with water during operation. Steam boilers on the other hand are only 3/4 filled with water; the upper quarters the steam space.
Industrial boiler system works on fuel to create heat:
The industrial boiler system is a hot water or steam boiler operated with a certain kind of fuel. The boiler heats up or evaporates the water inside it, which is then transported
to the consumers though a pipe system. The transport energy is generated by pumps, in case of steam the transport is based on inherent pressure. The condensed steam returns to the boiler where it can be heated again. Loss of water must be compensated by fresh water to avoid corrosion. Flue gases are
discharged into the atmosphere through a chimney. Efficient systems additionally use the residual heat in the flue gases. Sectional drawing of a three pass shell boiler:

• Industrial Boilers Laundries and cleaning firms:

  This is an obvious example of what steam is used for. It is just easier to get rid of spots and
  dirt when the washing water is heated. Our washing machine at home does the same, however
  with electrical heating. In large laundries this would be inefficient as electrical energy is too
  expensive. Steam can also be perfectly used for downstream processes like pressing, using the
  mangle, ironing or finishing. We know this process from steam-ironing at home; steam simply
  removes all creases.
  

  Industrial Boilers for Food industry

  Food must often be heated or boiled during processing. Thus this industrial sector obviously
  needs plenty of thermal energy. However, some steam applications are still stunning; a good
  example is potato processing.

Breweries

Most people know that a good and tasty beer consists of hops, malt and water is a complex production process.
The brewer calls this mashing. The mash is heated to various temperatures in two to four hours.
Now guess which heat carrier is normally used for this? That is the steam we previously generated with the steam boiler.
The use of boiler systems in practice
Industrial hot water boiler systems for generating thermal heat are very similar to the
household heating boilers in our cellars. The main difference is that industrial boilers are
dimensioned significantly larger, so their heating capacity is not only sufficient for a family
home but also for hotels, hospitals, skyscrapers, industrial buildings or entire districts. When
using process heat generated by steam boiler systems the individual applications are far more
versatile. They are used in many industry sectors. But is all this just hot air or what exactly is the
steam used for?

Let us Look at a few industrial sectors and have a closer look at them.

Breweries first have to the barrels and bottles clean them before they can be refilled. This process uses steam to
heat up the water needed for cleaning. Amazing, isn’t it?

Building materials industry

Large amounts of steam are also necessary for the production of molded bricks. The basic
materials like sand, lime, water, etc. are mixed and pressed to relatively loose stone compounds.
We remember that from making mud pies in the sandbox. Subsequently, the stones are
transported to a huge pressure vessel (autoclave) which is then closed and steam is injected.
The stones ave to harden at a temperature of approximately 200 °C and a pressure of
about 16 bar for a certain period of time and can then be withdrawn as finished stones. How
stable our sand castles would have been if we could have used this technology!

Sewer pipe rehabilitation

What to do if there is a drain leakage? This problem can either be solved by means of
excavation works at the underground pipes and renewal of the sewage pipe systems or with
rehabilitation tubes. These tubes are over dimensioned hoses that are inserted in the pipes
without excavation work and then inflated with steam. The plastic hose attaches itself to the
sewage pipe under application of pressure and temperature and the pipe can continue to be
used for many years.
