From efficiency to maintenance needs, oil and gas burners outperform most steam boilers. There are a number of reasons apart from these that make these systems better for industrial heating. Nevertheless, many industries continue to use steam heat more than hot oil heat and the major reason behind this is that the facility managers are not aware of the advantages oil burners can have over steam boilers.
Advantages of Oil Burners Over Steam Boilers
Increase Efficiency: Hot oil burners are much more efficient than traditional steam boilers when it comes to heat production. It also increases the safety and profitability of the company by offering a cost-effective alternative to industrial heat production. Unfortunately, a major part of the industry is yet to understand the true potential of oil and gas burners and the profits they could be making y just upgrading their heating system.
Cost-effective Heating: Using oil as a heating agent rather than water can have many benefits for the company in terms of cost savings. Using water has additional costs due to the treatment chemicals and condensate collection systems. Steam traps and condensation systems also need to be maintained which adds up substantially over time. Oil burners however have no steam traps and treatment chemicals. Oil is less corrosive than water and is not likely to freeze in cold temperatures. This makes oil burner maintenance a lot cheaper and more accessible.
Better Performance: The companies that have adopted the oil burners, testify to it improving their overall operations. The heating systems form an essential part of any industrial process and their efficiency affects the processes down the line. So having better-performing systems makes sense for growing the business and improving the quality of work.
