Horizontal boilers
Advantages of the horizontal design
Our horizontal boilers are characterised by the fact that the flue gas in the convective heating surfaces travels horizontally.
One of many advantages of the horizontal design is that the heating surfaces can be cleaned by means of a so-called rapping device which, unlike the traditional sooth blowers, does not consume steam.
Another advantage of the horizontal design is that the support for the heating surfaces can be placed outside the flue gas. Large steel beams can thus be used for support, making it possible to design bigger boilers.
For cleaning the convective heating surfaces, the horizontal design means that dirt from the cleaning process enters the hoppers without passing other heating surfaces on its way, thus reducing the risk of blocking the tube bundles.
