Three paths into Bruce.

Steam boiler feedwater, hydronic return water and large industrial boiler exhaust lead to different designs. Start with the path that matches your heat sink and boiler.

01Steam boilers

HeatSponge economizer

Select a conventional or two-stage economizer for a commercial or industrial steam boiler. Bruce evaluates the boiler, exhaust, feedwater and operating profile.

  • Conventional and two-stage recovery
  • COLOSSUS by engineering review

Rainmaker

Evaluate an external condensing economizer for a new or existing hydronic boiler. Compare a retrofit with a specified condensing boiler, or set a direct performance target.

  • Efficiency-Match comparison
  • Actual return-water conditions
  • Single or multiple existing boilers

03Large industrial boilers

ATLAS class

Begin a selection for a very large industrial boiler where exhaust flow, physical arrangement and service requirements call for an Atlas-class design.

Before you start

A few measured facts make a better proposal.

The forms can begin with basic boiler data. As you add measured exhaust, water and operating information, the selection better reflects the installation.

01

Boiler and fuel

Manufacturer, type, capacity and firing conditions. The boiler make helps Bruce consider available gas-side pressure drop.

02

Water and exhaust

Water inlet temperature and flow, plus flue-gas temperature at the economizer inlet. Full-load gas temperature is the essential starting point.

03

Operating profile

Annual hours at each load and your fuel price provide context for expected heat recovery and estimated savings.
