Efficiency-enhancing maintenance of heating systems

As a matter of fact, the heating system engenders a major part of current operating and servicing costs of a thermoprocessing installation. It is not rare that saving potentials are latent therein which cannot be immediately detected by the end user. As regards firing efficiency, the index for combustion efficiency, this is not only attributable to the burner but also to other central components of heating system; contrary to the widespread belief. The present article shows various maintenance concepts and describes, on the basis of examples, where and who optimisation potentials can be opened-up by simple measures, for instance, in terms of efficiency-enhancing maintenance.
