Following the recent launch of three innovative energy-saving options* for its J Series and VMP vertical steam boilers, Fulton Limited has introduced an optional flue gas Economiser for its gas and dual-fuel-fired horizontal RBC boiler range. The new Economiser, which can provide fuel savings of up to 5% and, in a typical installation, achieve payback in less than a year, further enhances Fulton’s green credentials and those of its customers.

The Economiser operates in the same way as a heat exchanger. By capturing the waste heat inherent in flue gases and transferring it to the boiler feedwater, the feedwater temperature increases from approximately 85° to 120°. Because this takes place on the positive side of the feed pump, there is no cavitation effect and the flue gas energy does not have to be applied by the boiler. Depending on the steam application, the Economiser can either reduce the fuel consumption of a boiler at a given steam output or increase steam output for a given amount of fuel.

Commenting for Fulton, managing director Paul Richards says: “Either way the Economiser achieves significant savings and as well as considerable economic benefits for our customers, the increase in boiler efficiency also has positive benefits for the environment.” He adds that optimum payback is achieved on gas-fired RBC boilers with capacities from 1280 kg/h.

Fulton’s Economiser can be installed in all gas-fired RBC models at the build stage with no overall effect on footprint. It can also be fitted to dual-fuel models provided they are not oil-fired for long periods. Economisers can also be retrofitted externally to existing boiler installations.

Both packages include the fitting of a modulating feedwater control system on the boiler to ensure correct operation and produce a more stable steam output.
