Increasing Efficiency = Reducing Losses:<br />
Blow-down Losses<br />
• U.S. DOE steam systems BEST PRACTICES<br />
recommendation:<br />
“Improve boiler efficiency and reduce water<br />
consumption by utilizing automatic surface<br />
blow-down in lieu of continuous and/or<br />
manual blow-down.”<br />
• Utilize a boiler control system that includes<br />
automatic blow-down for optimization of blowdown<br />
for highest efficiency operation<br />
• Automatic blow-down is managed via a<br />
proportional flow system and/or back-up<br />
conductivity probe that monitor TDS to<br />
maximize boiler performance and efficiency<br />
