Is it better to use a hot water boiler or a steam boiler?

Both hot water boilers and steam boilers are heat source output devices that provide high temperature hot water and steam.

At present, the smallest tonnage industrial heating boiler provided by FANGKUAI Boiler is a 99KW vertical hot water boiler, and the largest is an 80-ton SZS-type water pipe hot water boiler. Regardless of the large boiler or small boiler, the pollutant discharge is much lower than the national limit, ensuring that there is no environmental concern within a few decades after the customer uses the boiler.

At present, the heating method using steam as a heating boiler is relatively small. If the heat source is steam, the heat exchanger is often used as an intermediary, and finally the hot water is used as a heat dissipating medium. If the factory does this, it will separate the unwanted steam and heat the office building or workshop while producing steam. Let's take a look at the steam boiler heating situation.
       1. The temperature rise is too fast, the heat sink is quenched and suddenly hot, and it is easy to leak water;
       2. The pressure rises too fast, the radiator is easy to cause metal fatigue, the life is reduced, and it is easy to cause the radiator to burst;
       3. The surface temperature of the radiator is too high, it is easy to burn people, and also causes poor indoor meteorological conditions, indoor dust is decomposed above the radiator, causing the wall above the radiator to be black;
       4. If the heating pipe is not good before heating and steaming, it will cause water hammer when steam is supplied. The water in the radiator will form a water hammer under the impact of steam, impact the radiator and the pipeline, and the noise will be loud. Damage to radiators and pipes;
       5. The water in the boiler heats up and absorbs the heat released by the fuel, and the water molecules become steam and absorb a part of the heat, resulting in waste of energy.

In summary, compared with hot water boiler heating, heating with steam boilers is not economical, and there are many hidden dangers. Therefore, steam boilers have been used as heat sources in recent years. We still recommend that you use a hot water boiler for heating, which is more cost-effective.
