Fresh make-up water with a much lesser concentration i, atthe same time token, into the boiler. While this is the best method of controlling Total Dissolved Solids (T.D.S.) in the boiler, valu- cable heat can be lost. Continuous blowdown of 1 gpm on a 150 psig boiler wastes169,000 BTUs/Hr. This blowdown ‘water, too hot to dump to streams or public sewage, must be cooled fo a least 140°F in most locates. Tempering this water with added cold water or just toking the water and dumping it fo a hot well or Blowdown tank becomes costly because you'e losing both flash steam and hot Woter which canbe recycled into the oiler. This Woter con be cooled by sending i through a Flash Economizer, which tokes the heat out of the confinuous blowdown and recycles it back into the makeup water. The drain temperature i reduced to 100-110°F. With Flash Economizer most ofthe heat is recycled back into the boiler. A Flash Econo- mizer saves more BTUs than a conventional heat exchanger. When a percentage ofthe continuous blowdown flashes into steam inthe upper portion ofthe Flash Economizes, you get 100% recovery ofthe BTUs in flash stream. Also, wit today’s cost of treating makeup water, you reclaim a percent cage ofthe blowdown water in flash sreom and put it back into your system.

Flash steam is ro- leased in the canter area and recycled into the de- orator or feedwater heater. Every pound of flash steam returns 1156 BTUs into your system which, whon taken back to the deaerator or feedwater heater, is condensed. So you not only save BTUs but also make-up water. The remainder of the blowdown water flows directly down to the second area of recovery — the spiral coll heat exchanger. The hot water flows around the coils and heats the meke-up water which flows through the coils. The Penn Flash Economizer is designed for efficient trouble-tee operation. Note that the only area in which sludge can accumulate is below the heat transfer area, ‘and that there is no valve between the flash area and hat exchangor area to stick or clog. Maintenance is simple with the Flash Economizer. The unit is flanged to simply drop out the lower spiral col section, clean the copper or stainless coils, and place the unit back in operation without even having to shut the boiler down. This is recommended maintenance at least once «year. Single and Multiple Boilers Because the flash process is a natural process continu: cus blowdown from one boiler or multiple boilers, even operating at different pressures can be taken into ‘one Flash Economizer. They will each flash down to the pressure maintained in the deaerator set by the pressure reducing valve off of the main steam line. The pressure inside the economizer will be the same as in the deaerator or feedwater heater. —————— EE Design Features + Tangential inlet produces dean dry steam for the Decerator or Feedwoter Heater # 100% recovery of BTUs inthe Flesh Stage ‘© Redluces the amount of live stream needed for deaeration ‘© Stainless Steal Wear Plate in the Flash ‘rea to eliminate erosion ‘© Efficient Spiral Coil Heat Exchanger ‘© No intemal float valve to stick or clog + One unit can serve many boilers even if they are operating at different pressures + Maintenance is quick and easy Free Heat Recovery Survey Find out exactly how much you can save, by using the Pann Flash Economizer.
