Industrial process heating equipment and solutions specialist Babcock Wanson has launched the LV-Pack low-voltage industrial electric boiler, with steam outputs from 600 kg/h to 8400 kg/h and a design pressure of up to 18 barg.
Specifically designed to provide maximum efficiency – over 99%, as all incoming electrical energy is converted into thermal energy – with zero CO2 and NOx emissions, the LV-Pack has been introduced to help meet European requirements for energy optimisation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Being electric with no emissions also makes for easy installation and commissioning as there is no requirement for chimneys, fuel supply networks or storage tanks. In addition, periodic monitoring of atmospheric emissions is not required. The boiler is delivered to site and, once connected to the electricity, the feed water and the steam network, is ready to operate.
The LV-Pack low-voltage industrial electric boiler is also easy and economical to use. The control and instrumentation allow for Babcock Wanson’s boiler operating modes to be used which provide integrated monitoring and regulation of all the equipment in the boiler house, as well as providing real-time monitoring and data logging. These modes include BW3DAYS with tests every three days and BW7DAYS which tests every seven days. LV-Pack boilers are also fitted with the Navinergy monitoring interface, which enables both on-site and remote monitoring of operating parameters.
A further important feature of the new LV-Pack boiler is its precise pressure control with multiple power stages which it to react quickly to load changes. This makes it possible to make quick starts to absorb available grid power when needed.
As you would expect from Babcock Wanson, LV Pack boilers are made to a high standard, with robust construction for increased lifespan. They are made up of steel shells and flat bottoms held in place by tie rods that accommodate immersion heaters, offering numerous advantages in terms of performance, implementation and also for periodic maintenance operations. They are designed to allow both quick start-up and quick steam production, while protecting the immersion heaters from excessive stresses.
The LV-Pack is the latest addition to Babcock Wanson’s range of electric boilers. In addition to these, Babcock Wanson offers a complete range of products and services for boiler houses and other process heating needs. The company aims to help optimise customer’s energy production with high quality products and efficient service.
