Electric Steam Boiler

The use of electricity to generate steam or hot water is not only environmentally friendly, but also economically attractive. It allows industrial operators to counter rising fossil fuel prices without curtailing their processes or reducing the availability of steam-heated equipment.

The comprehensive Electric Steam Boiler Singapore range from Viessmann includes hybrid as well as fully electric boilers. Both versions have low energy costs thanks to cheap electricity – either from the public grid during night tariffs or by using surplus self-generated power. This results in very cost-effective operation and high reliability. In addition, both types can be used with all common forms of energy – including light and heavy oil, natural gas, biogas and hydrogen.

These compact, highly efficient steam generators are ideal for a wide variety of applications and offer maximum process flexibility without any restrictions due to combustion or emissions. They produce saturated and superheated steam up to a pressure of up to 20 bar and can be fed with a variety of energy sources.

A comprehensive control system and dynamic monitoring ensure safe and economical operation at all times. This includes automatic shutdown in the event of a fault, as well as intelligent energy management and load profile control for optimum efficiency. Depending on the type of boiler, various burners and heat recovery systems can be used for energy savings.

The robust and durable Vitomax electric steam boilers are built with a fully-insulated pressure vessel to minimize radiation losses. Their meticulously calculated heat-to-steam ratio enables rapid attainment of operating pressures and maximum efficiency. And, unlike fossil fuel-based alternatives, they do not emit flue gas which would harm the atmosphere.

In addition to the highly effective heat exchanger, a sophisticated system of pre-treatment is used for the feedwater. This comprises phosphate correctives and polymeric dispersants such as dioctyl sulfosuccinate or sulfonated styrene maleic anhydride (PMA). In combination with the proper chemical dosage, this treatment significantly reduces water hardness and prevents scale formation.

This reduces maintenance and operational costs and extends the service life of the system. The integrated, self-cleaning steam accumulator also reduces downtime. A large cleaning door facilitates easy access to the internal components, and an overload protection device helps to safeguard against thermal stress and mechanical damage.

Moreover, the electric steam boiler does not require a chimney and flue gas after-treatment equipment, which significantly simplifies installation and reduces space requirements, installation time and costs. The resulting compact system design is extremely user-friendly and can be easily integrated into existing boiler systems.

For many customers, the advantages of an electric steam boiler outweigh the disadvantages. This is particularly true for smaller applications where the costs of a fully installed, traditional steam boiler are often prohibitive. For these customers, the flexible and compact electrical heating unit is a worthwhile investment because of its attractive price-performance ratio. It is also an excellent alternative to the use of high-pressure steam generators with a higher capacity and can be easily adapted to changing production processes.
