The Advantages of a Clayton Steam Generator
Copyright © 2007
| Safe |
No Risk of Steam Explosion – Since the Clayton Steam
Generator does not contain a large volume of heated water there
is no risk of a steam explosion. The design has completely
eliminated the possibility of an instantaneous, uncontrolled
release of energy which can cause death, injury or serious
property damage from steam boilers.
|
| Small | Reduced Building Costs - Because of the small size of the Clayton Steam Generator it can be fitted into a limited space. This saves on building costs - whether the installation is for a new project or an addition to an existing plant. A separate boiler house is not required for a Clayton Steam Generator |
| Efficient |
Low Running Costs
- The high fuel to steam heat transfer characteristics of the
Clayton Steam Generator results in lower energy costs. This is
enhanced by the low exterior surface area which means low
convection and radiation heat loss further reducing running
costs
|
| Low Blowdown |
Reduced Losses
- All types of boiler must have a blowdown system to control the
build up of unwanted solids in the system. This blowdown wastes
heat, treatment chemicals and water. The very much lower
blowdown required in a Clayton Steam Generator therefore
provides significant additional cost savings
|
| Rapid Start |
Saves Time And Money
- Because of the small water content of the Clayton Steam
Generator a very rapid start up is possible.
This reduces fuel
consumption and labour
costs. Also because of the short start up time it is not
necessary to keep a Clayton Steam Generator in hot standby and
responses to changes in steam demand are extremely rapid
