Tanks are overlooked but can offer many advantages for a boiler operator. The featured tanks are to receive blowdown from a boiler. The tank absorbs energy from the water and steam, reducing the temperature to below code level for sewer discharge. Code requires blowdown water to be under 140F entering the sewer.

Generating steam from a boiler is simple and very easy using electric boilers from Reimers. Steam of various pressure and flows are available in many voltages. Not all steam generators are the same. Quality and long life are expected in the Reimers brand.

A boiler system designed by Reimers can fit through any access door. To get the most energy out of your dollar use a condensate return tank with your boiler. After the steam is used there will be condensed water that is hot and can be reused. The 30KW electric boiler receives makeup water from the pump under the tank. The water requires less energy to be raised to steaming level.

Want to conserve floor space? How about saving on install time? The photos show a steel frame Reimers fabricated to allow two boilers to be stacked vertical. Reimers can do factory assembly to any completion desired. Economical custom frame design is available to fit in your space.

Potato processing facilities can use electric boilers to steam peel potatoes. The process works by placing the potatoes into a pressure vessel and exposing them to high pressure steam. The high pressure steam heats the water in the potato under the skin. When the pressure is released from the vessel, the heated water rapidly expands and loosens the peel from the outside of the potato.

One boiler feature most people are not aware of is that when the power goes off their boiler will not come back on when the power does. Reimers boilers are able to restart automatically, safely, to keep your process working, your plant heating continued, or sterilization working.

Staging of heating elements to manage power usage is a way to save on hidden utility costs. Reimers offers staging in many boiler models. The heating elements are individually managed and never powered on at the same time.

Why treat water used in your system? To prevent damage and maintain efficiency. Electric steam boilers and electric hot water systems are prone to lose water through servicing, leaks, or evaporation. That water must be replaced. Doing it correctly can make a big difference to your equipment.

Boilers need water to operate. Condensate return tanks are often used to save energy. A pump is use to move water from the tank to the boiler.
