Electric boilers can be upgraded by the use of a integral blowdown tank. The tank allows immediate easy purge of solids from the boiler. The tanks are closed, meaning no vent lines. The contents are contained safely, quietly, and then released to a drain or collection bucket.

The combination of a steam generator, or boiler, and condensate tank assembled at Reimers saves site time to build and test. The tank reuses energy and cuts costs for power. Boilers of many sizes and tanks to match are built at the Reimers location in Virginia daily.

Reimers will attend the AHR show in Atlanta where electric boilers and hot water electric heating systems will be displayed. Heating elements powered by electricity heat water in the vessels to create warm water or steam. Steam generation is still very popular but hot water has become more popular in recent time. The government initiatives drive clean energy which make the Reimers boiler products very suited for retro and new projects.

Service costs and efficiency can be improved by having better quality water in your boiler or hot water system. The Reimers kit is an economical system that requires no electrical service, and can last many months to years before needing serviced. Hardness in the water is removed and stored within the canister. The level of hardness is selectable by the customer if they wish to extend the filter element life.

Tanks are overlooked but can offer many advantages for a boiler operator. The featured tanks are to receive blowdown from a boiler. The tank absorbs energy from the water and steam, reducing the temperature to below code level for sewer discharge. Code requires blowdown water to be under 140F entering the sewer.

Generating steam from a boiler is simple and very easy using electric boilers from Reimers. Steam of various pressure and flows are available in many voltages. Not all steam generators are the same. Quality and long life are expected in the Reimers brand.

A boiler system designed by Reimers can fit through any access door. To get the most energy out of your dollar use a condensate return tank with your boiler. After the steam is used there will be condensed water that is hot and can be reused. The 30KW electric boiler receives makeup water from the pump under the tank. The water requires less energy to be raised to steaming level.

Want to conserve floor space? How about saving on install time? The photos show a steel frame Reimers fabricated to allow two boilers to be stacked vertical. Reimers can do factory assembly to any completion desired. Economical custom frame design is available to fit in your space.

Potato processing facilities can use electric boilers to steam peel potatoes. The process works by placing the potatoes into a pressure vessel and exposing them to high pressure steam. The high pressure steam heats the water in the potato under the skin. When the pressure is released from the vessel, the heated water rapidly expands and loosens the peel from the outside of the potato.
