Steam generator and steam boiler
Steam generators vary widely in industrial applications, from massive units in power plants to smaller boilers in spas and saunas. These machines operate at extremely high pressures and temperatures exceeding 150 degrees C, requiring substantial energy input. While chemical conditioning of water helps prevent deposit formation, scaling and corrosion remain persistent challenges. Deposits act as insulators, increasing energy requirements for heating water.
The Merus Ring addresses these issues through two primary mechanisms. When installed in the supply line, it reduces or eliminates corrosion, measurable through iron content analysis in blowdown water. For systems without chemical treatment due to cost constraints, the device prevents limescale accumulation, particularly effective with feed water having less than 1,000 TDS. When combined with existing chemical treatment, significant chemical savings become achievable. Systems with automatic desludging devices experience minimal deposit buildup, with remaining lime becoming soft and easily removable. Continuous monitoring and local regulatory consultation remain essential when deploying this technology on steam boilers.
