The steam gewnerators are industrial steam boilers for small steam capacities. The special compact water-tube design gives a small internal steam/water compartment.

Steam generators offer fast start-up, modest heat losses during hot stand-by (idle) and an extreme safety during operate (no risks for steam explosions). Even though the investment is not the lowest when choosing the high quality models, the special technical features ensure that the long term costs are still much lower.

INTRODUCTION

Steam generators are industrial water-tube steam boilers of the once-through princip and with small and medium-sized steam outputs.

 Steam Generator Boilers in Strong & Reliable Design

They are developed and designed especially for reliability even during "heavy duty" operations - with no compromise on quality even though it mean higher purchase price. The focus is dedicated to ensure the best long term investment with lowest operational costs during the longest lifetime.

The pressure parts are designed as standard up to 40 bar pressure although operation pressure might between 3 - 10 bar (gauge). Pressure of 190°C and design temperature of 350°C on request.

This industrial type steam generator is also known as the steam generator boiler. It operates as a forced circulation water tube boiler. Unlike the conventional fire-tube steam boiler (fire/smoke tube boiler), the water in the steam generator boiler contains a very small amount of water and steam (equal the volume inside the pressure vessel i.e. inside the tube).

As listed up in the left column, this gives quite a few advantages.

The steam generator boilers are delivered in the range from 100 to 3,000 kg/h steam at design pressure going from 3 barg and all the way up to 190 barg (for special applications). These complete units are easy to install and does not require any special foundation; they can be place directly on a concrete floor.

The advantages are numerous - just image what you gain with a start-up time down to few minutes !

Get here a fast overview how to Choose your Boiler Type - the classic fire-tube type or this compact water-tube type.

HIGH EFFICIENCY - LOW CO2 EMISSION

Steam generators often comes with very high efficiencies equal low fuel consumption and low CO2 emission.

But special request on extra high efficiencies and extra low CO2 emission can be offered as a part of our general customized solution features. It costs a little more, but the overall cost are normally lower - and the environmental issue should also been taken into account.

Additional efficiency can be obtained by using an economizer (optional extra).

 



LOW NOx


The steam generators are prepared with combustion chambers for ensuring Low NOx when choosing an appropriate Low NOx burner. This design also offer high efficiencies. More green solution, often a request. The long term extra costs are very often modest due to the higher efficiency.
 

NOTE! Without a suitable combustion chamber design, no Low NOx burner can ensure  environmental values with regard to NOx emissions - the boiler design is essential to ensure Low NOx.

 


 

EXTENT OF DELIVERY

Steam generators can be delivered in horizontal execution (with low height), or in vertical execution (occupying limited floor space). They are delivered insulated with stainless steel cover sheets and complete with burner, armatures, instrumentation, safeties and a control panel - and with full documentation including necessary certificates.

All steam generators are carefully checked, controlled and function tested prior to dispatch from the workshop.

CONSTRUCTION

The steam generators heaters are made with coils made of seamless tubes, where the feed water is preheated and evaporated during the flow through these. The heat is transferred to the water/steam mixture as radiant heat in the combustion chamber, where the inner cylindrical tube coil and a flat tube coil forms the chamber wall and the bottom respectively. Consequently refractory concrete is avoided. The combustion gasses are hereafter cooled in the outer convection part, as the gasses pass the space between the two tube coils. The thermal design ensures a modest volume of steam relative to the size of the heater, and allows unlimited thermal expansion due to the high temperatures. All TT BOILERS steam generators and steam boilers are designed and equipped according to German TRD boiler regulations and Danish boiler regulations and corresponding EN-norms.

DT steam generators are made in carbon steel, but also different grades of stainless steel.

  the 'R&D Workshop'

 



BURNERS


As standard the heaters are provided by international recognized and only high quality burner brands - for natural gas, light fuel oil, heavy fuel oil and combinations (dual fuel). This include Low NOx burner designs. Demands for special burner designs can be fulfilled and adapted in the heater design.







STEAM GENERATORS
OR STEAM BOILERS
? 


There are indeed some major differences between a steam generator and a classic 3-pass fire-tube steam boiler.

Advantages and disadvantages are present depending on the actual circumstances.

Read more about different type of steam boilers and about making the right choice on selecting the Correct Type of Steam Boiler. AB&CO offer both types and have no preferences in advising in favour of either type.

 

 


 



 


PRODUCTION OF CLEAN STEAM

Steam generators are also delivered for production of clean steam for food industry, pharmaceutical industry, electronically industry etc.

Sanitary steam (clean steam) for food applications are provided by a steam generator made in high grade stainless steel. The photo above shows a unit  for Rolls Royce in UK which should also have other special features such as steam of  190 barg / 350°C. See more details here about clean steam.

 

For pharmaceutical industry a special grade of high quality sterile steam is used -  so-called pure steam. The photo above shows steam generators with capacity of 300 kg/h and 600 kg/h - with reboiler, grinded and polished internally. See more details here about clean steam..

TABLE VALUES · Presumptions
The below stated values for heat capacity and fuel consumptions are based on 80°C feed water temperature, 7 bar steam pressure, 90% efficiency and normal European quality light fuel oil (LCV=42 MJ/kg) and natural gas (LCV=40 MJ/Nm³)

 

CONTAINERISED STEAM BOILER ROOM

An option is the container solution, comprising all equipment for ensuring a efficient steam production.

Containerized solutions are used widely as an fast and economical way to establish steam up to 2400 kg/h.

It can be used as an emergency steam back-up, when a steam supply fails and a fatal situation occurs. With a container solution you can rapidly be "on-steam" again.

This solution is used for end-user of steam, but it is certainly also as an attractive business opportunity to buy these for renting out - and thus offering the above services to end-users.
