This section contains information on Economizers. An economizer recovers heat from flue gases and uses it to increase boiler feedwater temperatures, prior to entering the boiler. Cleaver-Brooks offers a variety of types, sizes, and custom designs. Each assures proper match for your specific firetube or watertube boiler.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Reduces Fuel Use and Cost: Recovers heat from flue gases that would otherwise be wasted. Heat is used to raise boiler feedwater temperature prior to entering the boiler.

Load Changes: Rapid changes in load demands can be met faster due to higher feedwater temperature.

Emissions: Reduced fuel-firing rates for any given steam output means reduced NOx emissions.

ASME Construction: Ensures high quality design and manufacturing standards. Provides safety and reliability.

High Efficiency Heat Exchanger: Provides uniform fin-to-tube contact for maximum heat transfer. Fin tubing offers up to 12 times the heat exchange surface of bare tubing of the same diameter.

Self-Draining Design: Suitable for outdoor installation.

Low Pressure Drop: Provides low gas side pressure drops. Permits use of smaller forced draft fans. Permits use of existing fans in almost all installations.

Gas Tight Combustion Stack: Provides inner casing of carbon steel (watertube boilers). Stainless Steel casing for the E+Plus on firetube boilers. Compact dimensions provide for easy installation.

Feedwater Preheating System: (watertube boilers) Controls cold end corrosion through all flow rates. Prevents the forming of corrosive acids in the economizer. Prevents stack corrosion.

Guaranteed Efficiency on Model CB Firetube Boilers: $10,000 rebated for every full 1.0% efficiency point less than guaranteed.

ENGINEERING DATA
Information in this section outlines typical installation. Actual installation and piping arrangements will be dictated by design, state, provincial or local codes, and job-site conditions. Firetube Boilers (Model CB & CB-LE Boilers) Installation - economizer above boiler: All standard firetube boilers (100 hp and above) can support up to 2,000 lbs without additional reinforcement. Firetube boilers up to 250 hp can be reinforced to support 2,500 lbs, however, this must be specified. Firetube boiler sizes 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3,000 lbs, however, this must be specified. All weights listed inTable G-1 are shipping weights. When installed, the water weight must be added to obtain total load to be supported. Use an average addon of 200 lbs. Add the weight of any stack (if unsupported) from the economizer to the outside.

Although the economizer can support additional weight, the total weight of economizer and stack will very likely exceed the allowable weight on the boiler. Be certain that either the economizer or the stack, or both, are supported external from the boiler. If an expansion joint is used, the economizer and stack must be supported to ensure all loading is removed from the expansion joint.

Figure G-2. Economizer Above Industrial Watertube Boiler (Example) Installation - economizer on side of boiler: Breeching must be supported to ensure all loading is removed from expansion joints. Concrete must be suitably reinforced. Piers and footings must be designed to meet soil conditions and local ordinances at job site. The economizer support stand must be designed to support the economizer and water weight. All weights listed in Table G-2 are shipping weights. When installed, the water must be added to obtain total load to be supported. Water weights will vary and can only be obtained after economizer is selected. Refer to Figure G-3 for suggested mounting on side of an industrial watertube boiler.

Feedwater Piping Piping arrangements are dictated by ASME Code, location of the economizer in relation to the boiler, and feedwater regulating system. Figure G-4 outlines typical feedwater piping per ASME Code jurisdiction. If the economizer can be shut off from the boiler by valve(s), the economizer must have a safety valve and the boiler must have feed and check valves. Refer to Figure G-5. Figure G-5 outlines feedwater piping with the economizer mounted above the boiler. Figure G-6 outlines feedwater piping with the economizer mounted and the economizer outlet at or below water level in boiler drums.
