Reimers Electra Steam - Blog

Electrical components that modulate power to the heating elements can make a quieter, smooth transition back to pressure or temperature setpoint. Electric boilers use resistance elements to heat water. They normally are either on or off. SCR or SSR options are available at Reimers for customers needing better control of their power usage at their electric boiler or electric water heater.

Seismic protection of equipment is more commonly done now than in the past. At Reimers the Engineering staff has outlined options for all their products. Protection in all directions and California OSHPD/DHCAI stamped products are used.

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.
