High Voltage Electrode Boiler
Industrial Boilers
Electrode boilers use the conductive and resistive properties of water to carry electric current and produce steam. An AC current flows from an electrode to a phase and to ground using water as the conductor.
It can produce steam starting from 500kg/h up to 50t/h capacity with 6-24 kV high voltage, working pressure: up to 100 bar.
High Voltage Electrode Boiler Advantages;
- Steam generation from cold to full load in less than 5 minutes,
- Chimney system, burner, fuel supply, storage are not needed. This saves money and reduces space requirements.
- Compared to a conventional boiler, the compact simple design offers smaller footprint and weight.
- Simple installation and commissioning. There is no need for any ventilation.
- Low maintenance and service costs
- Easy user interface with Tsb Energy control system.
- High process reliability, remote control is available.
- Conversion to thermal energy with an efficiency close to 100%.
- Low operating costs can be achieved by using cheap or renewable electrical energy.
- Its instantaneous response to peak traction with maximum power and its response to minimum utilisation with minimum power compared to conventional fossil fuel boilers is mainly an excellent efficiency.
- Offers zero emissions at the user site, no COx, NOx and SOx,
- Quiet operation with virtually no noise emission,
- Customer-specific software revision specific to your company with our expert staff.
- The boiler can be optionally equipped with a PLC with different communication protocols such as Modbus, Profibus, etc., thus enabling the integration of electrode steam boiler into any industrial process.
The SB-E HV boiler has been developed by combining the best available technologies to achieve high efficiency, reliability and flexibility with zero emissions at the production site.
The vapour is produced in the water between the electrodes. The internal circulation system brings water for evaporation to the electrodes proportionally according to the steam demand and the steam output is controlled by a throttle valve regulating the level in the upper chamber.
An important parameter related to the optimum function of the boiler is the water conductivity. Conductivity is continuously monitored to ensure that the boiler is giving the correct output. Automatic blowdown is initiated when the conductivity exceeds the selected set point.
There is no danger of low water as current cannot flow without water. Thermal shock is eliminated. Electrically safe due to the earthed pressure vessel.
The long-life electrodes are cooled by water jets generated by an integrated loop pump. Having a minimum number of components and electrical controls ensures maximum reliability.
Electrode boilers use the conductive and resistive properties of water to carry electric current and generate steam. An AC current flows from an electrode to a phase and to ground using water as the conductor.
With our company software, our steam boiler is supported from installation to maintenance during operation.
TSB ENERGY offers future-orientated, electricity-based system solutions for industrial boilers. The focus is on resource conservation, reducing CO2 emissions and increasing the use of climate-friendly technologies.
Design: Our High Voltage Electrode Steam Boilers are designed and manufactured in accordance with TS EN 12953, Loyd rules, TRD, DIN, EN, PED 2014/68/EC and ASME Section VIII Div 1. All electrical components are UL labelled and wired in accordance with the applicable National Electrical Code requirements.
Our high-voltage electrode steam boilers are delivered compactly on a single chassis, ready for operation. The only action required is to connect the steam boiler to the electricity, earthing system, feed water and steam users.
- Heat transfer takes place directly in the water in the steam chamber, thus producing high quality steam with 99.95% purity throughout the operating range.
Ease of Operation and Maintenance: The user-friendly PLC-HMI Control unit provides easy access to components. It minimises downtime and operating costs by simplifying operation and maintenance. Thanks to the single button start-up, self-checking of the device to stop the system against possible errors, a control panel with summary maintenance instructions with warnings according to the duration of use, boiler operation has become very reliable and understandable for the boiler operator. Clean, Smokeless, Silent, reliable steam is produced with a Switch.
All security devices are monitored by PLC. Necessary safety measures are taken in case of alarm. Electrode Steam Boiler control is carried out by the boiler operator via HMI. Active alarms and past alarms are monitored via the same HMI. Alarm and running information is transmitted to other systems via digital contacts (dry contact). Remote data collection and boiler status information are available via ModBus, Modbus TCP/IP and Profinet protocols.
Safety: Safety and standards are our top priority. Our boilers are equipped with advanced safety features such as overpressure protection, in-line water level guards, electrode surface temperature monitoring and emergency shutdown mechanisms.
Material: Envelopes and mirrors of our high-voltage electrode boilers are made of P355GH boiler sheet in accordance with EN 10028-2, nozzle tubes and electrode sheaths are made of P235GH or P265GH steel drawn boiler tubes in accordance with EN 10216-2, providing high resistance to corrosion and mechanical loads.
Efficiency: The most important energy efficiency advantage is an electrical output that is instantly modulated according to the actual steam demand during the operating cycle.
Since all of the incoming electrical energy is converted into heat energy (only small heat losses due to surfaces are deducted), close to 100% efficiency is achieved.
Precise pressure control with multiple power stages allows the boiler to react quickly to load changes. This enables rapid cold starts, utilising the available mains power to its full capacity when required.
100mm thick high density boiler insulation ensures low heat loss through radiation. The thermal insulation is covered with galvanised and painted DKP sheet with low lambda value. All insulation has low conductivity and high density materials.
Environmentally Friendly Design: Our zero emission electric steam boilers offer a cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuel systems, helping you reduce your carbon footprint and achieve your carbon neutral goals.
Customisation: We know that every production and process has its own individual differences, and based on the analysis of your process, we optimise and customise our proven devices for you.
Electric boilers set you on a more climate-friendly path and provide a future-orientated system solution.
Our experts will go through your project requirements together with you in order to arrive at the ideal solution and will be happy to help you with your project. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to request an individual expert consultation.
What is Electrode Steam Boiler?
High-voltage electrode boilers are closed pressurised vessels with water as a heat-receiving fluid on one side of their surfaces and high-voltage electrodes on the other side, where electrical energy is used as a power source instead of fossil fuel.
When to Use Electrode Steam Boiler?
Electric boilers are used in areas where there is sufficient electrical energy or where it is not possible to remove exhaust gas from gas or diesel burners, where open ignition is prohibited or where fuels such as diesel or gas are not available.
With the widespread use of solar panels and wind turbines, they are 0 emission heat generation devices that are preferred by businesses. Since it does not produce flue gas emissions, the company will not pay emission fees.
Ideal Steam Boiler Selection
First of all, efficiency should be considered, the highest efficiency of a steam boiler is 80% load condition. Therefore, 1/5 of the capacity of the steam boiler to be selected is the primary selection criterion.
If the steam required by the enterprise varies too much during the day, for example, if there are 1.5-2 times differences, the steam boiler should definitely be considered redundant, and the backup steam boiler should be activated and the regime should be ensured when the steam demand increases with check valve counterbalancing through a single common collector. The industrial name of this system is cascade system.
