Energy Efficient Hot Water Boiler Plant Design Part 3: Condensing Boiler Heat Exchanger Construction Considerations

/
Condensing boilers have made a strong case for themselves in terms of both space and energy efficiency. Of course, the latter hinges on one critical factor: the condensing boiler must condense. And if condensation is intended as an ongoing occurrence, the correct materials and equipment must be specified to withstand the harsh effects of condensation.

Energy Efficient Hot Water Boiler Plant Design Part 1: Combustion Process and Combustion Efficiency

/
It takes approximately 1000 Btus of energy to convert one pound of water into vapor. Think of that as the price you pay as part of the combustion process in a typical non-condensing hydronic boiler. That’s a good starting place for this next series on Energy Efficient Hot Water Boiler Plant Design.
