Case for dual burners

Installation of dual fuel burners to replace heavy oil burners, with the aim of increasing fuel-heat effectiveness and avoiding radiation heat loss, among others.

Steam and high-temperature hot water (HTHW) boilers is a category of technologies commonly used in industrial sectors and in some applications in public and commercial organisations. HTHW boilers are very energy intensive and therefore offer many opportunities for energy and cost savings.

The Carbon Trust anticipates potential low-cost, medium-cost, and longer-term savings achieved in boiler performance and steam distribution, as well as combustion efficiency, heat transfer efficiency, and boiler heat loss (or thermal integrity) for efficiency maintenance.
