This revolutionary little economizer has made

its mark on the industry with big savings.
• Lightweight, adaptable and designed specifically for smaller firetube boiler
applications
• Ranges in size from 40 HP to 500 HP
• Built to ASME Section I
• Heat recovery system to save fuel and money
• Small initial cost
• Results in big fuel savings
• Payback times are amazingly short
• The flue gases stay inside tubes; efficiently handles your boiler’s load changes
• Does away with the need for expensive flue gas bypasses
• Cylindrical design easily adapts to the boiler opening or stack, thus
eliminating expensive transitions
• Water is on the outside of the tubes; works with on/off feedwater systems, so
there’s no need to add costly proportioning equipment!
• Vertical or horizontal installation

Internally ribbed tubing:

• Kentube’s revolutionary internally ribbed tubing delivers

incomparable heat transfer capabilities and provides the
ultimate in cost efficiency.

CYLINDRICAL ECONOMIZERS

No costly transitions and lower

installation costs.
If your boiler application is larger (from 400 HP firetubes to 100,000 PPH
watertubes), the Kentube specially designed and manufactured cylindrical
economizer is for you.
• Incorporate a traditional design with water flowing on the inside of the
tubes and with gas circulating over high frequency, resistance-welded fins
• Designed to fit into the stack
• Includes a sootblower integral to the unit
• Due to the circular design, doesn’t require costly transitions
• Less expensive, and installation costs are also typically lower
• Designed and fabricated under the stringent requirements of ASME
Section I or VIII, so you can absolutely depend on the unit’s integrity

Finned tubing:

• The Economizer’s finned tubing is the key to great heat

transfer and low cost.

Big applications,
big flexibility.
• Kentube’s traditional economizer line
• Normally used for larger industrial watertube boilers
• Very adaptable to a wide variety of applications ranging
in size from 15,000 PPH to 500,000 PPH and greater
• The most flexible design with
configurations for:
- Vertical or horizontal gas flow
- Finned or bare tube designs
- Clean or dirty fuels
- Many other options
- Modular designs available

Flexibility:

• The rectangular economizer is the most flexible design to

accommodate the widest range of boilers.

Reduce Fuel, Reduce Costs,

and Get Fast Payback. Finned tubing

Reduce fuel and fuel costs. Economizers are fabricated assemblies

of finned tubing that recycle heat produced by your boiler. They remove
heat from the flue gases and return it to the boiler feedwater. So less fuel
is required by the boiler to generate a given amount of steam.
Versatility. Install in- or outdoors; orientations may be vertical or
horizontal; and versatility equals lower installation costs.
Decrease thermal pollution. By removing heat from the boiler’s flue
gases, an economizer lowers the temperature of these gases before they
exit into the atmosphere. Expect only the best from Kentube
Guaranteed thermal performance. All Kentube packaged Economizers.
