Exercise 5
| Constructional/design features of condensing boiler systems | |
| Second
heat exchanger |
The second heat exchanger was one of the first special constructional features in the beginning of the condensing boiler technology development. The engineers had added an additional heat exchanger to a conventional boiler in order to use the heat energy of the exhaust gases. Today such a following or added heat exchanger is still used for large high-performance boilers. |
| Mechanical
exhaust gas removal |
Condensing boiler systems make a mechanical exhaust gas removal necessary since the exhaust gases do not have sufficient natural buoyancy due to their low temperatures. A mechanical exhaust gas transport is normally realised with air fans or blowers. |
| Condensate
removal |
Since in condensing boiler systems as well as in the exhaust gas pipes the exhaust gases are condensing and then are gathering in the lowest point of the system, it is necessary to transport and to introduce the condensate into the public sewage system with the help of corresponding installations. |
