Industrial Electric Boilers – 30kW to 5mW

Electric Industrial Boiler Range – 30kW to 5mW Output

Industrial electric boilers are a highly efficient heating system for producing hot water for space heating and/or indirect domestic hot water. An electric boiler uses electric heating elements to generate thermal energy to heat water with high efficiency for space heating in industrial applications or to be used in industrial processes.These electric boilers can also produce domestic hot water via an indirect calorifier.

There has been a large uptake in the popularity of these electric boilers, as your hot water system, if powered by renewable electricity with no carbon emissions, can eliminate your reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to a clean and more sustainable environment with zero emissions.

Please note these are high pressure hot water electric boilers (up to 6 Bar maximum) for industrial applications and are not an electric steam boiler. and this range is a step up from our commercial electric boiler range, which only can be used on a water temperature of 80C as standard ( 90C at special request) and up to 6 Bar water pressure.

We don not supply an electric boiler for steam production- i.e. a steam boiler

Industrial electric boilers have lower installation costs when compared to fossil fuel boilers, as no flue pipe installation is required to remove the products of combustion, as there aren’t any with a high efficiency electric industrial boiler.

All incoming electrical energy is transformed to thermal energy, resulting in an efficiency close to 100% in our industrial and commercial electric boilers.

These electric boilers can aid in reducing the environmental impact as renewable energy sources produce an increasing amount of electricity that is CO2 neutral or better unlike fossil fuels.

Industrial electric boiler efficiency

Electric boilers are generally regarded as having 100% efficiency, as all the energy that goes into the immersion heaters is converted into energy to produce hot water. Technically, there is an argument that they are 99.9% efficient overall, as there is a minute amount of electricity used to power the control panel on the electric boiler.Our industrial electric boilers are a reliable source of hot water for space and / or process heating system.

Advantages of Electric Boilers

• 100% efficiency of the immersion heaters in these electric-powered hot water boilers
• Robust construction for long-term operation of this industrial electric boiler range
• Easy installation and commissioning.
• You benefit from low servicing and maintenance expenses, when it comes to electric boilers, as they require less regular maintenance than a gas or oil boiler. Electric boilers have no moving components as such, whereas other types of boilers have more moving elements that may break down and need maintenance.
• There is no heat exchanger to block up, as there is no combustion chamber in an electric boiler. Electric boilers work by utilising immersion heaters, similar to those used in domestic hot water heaters, just on a larger scale.
• You can get away from fossil fuel as your energy heat source if you use renewable electricity.
• Environmentally friendly, with no combustion gas emissions produced.
• These electric boilers are designed for commercial and industrial heating systems, be they radiators, underfloor heating, or to generate heat for district heating schemes.

Boiler Product Range

• Power output from 30kW to 5 mW –This range of industrial and commercial electric boilers consists of eight models: a 120 kW, 150 kW, 180 kW, 210 kW, 255 kW, 300 kW, 400 kW, and a 500 kW electric boiler. With the ability to cascade up to 10 boilers of various sizes the maximum kW output achievable is 5mW.
• Great boiler output modualtion range – 7:1 for the 120kW model, and 15:1 for the rest of the range.
• Operating temperature from 20°C to 80°C  ( with 90°C at request)  water temperature
• Maximum operating hot water pressure: 6 Bar rated 
• Required Voltage – 400 Volt Three-phase
• 50mm Glass wool insulation with sheet metal finish (MO fire classification)
• We use high quality screwed shielded Incoloy immersion heaters within our electric boilers.
• Robust construction
• Safety temperature thermostat with manual reset set at 110°C, fitted as standard to the electric industrial boilers.

Modulation output steps of our Thermo Max industrial boilers powered by electricity

So, for example our 500kW boiler will ramp up and down the output scale of the 15 power steps from 30kW to 501kW which is great for high efficiency close heat load matching of the system.

However, the boiler can also be set to a maximum output for each of its power steps and will produce no more than that set level – i.e. If set on power stage 13 – which is 435kW of output, the boiler will ramp up and down the heating output scale to a maximum of 435kW (thus the turndown ratio in this example would then be 13:1).

The ensures that our commercial electric boiler range can cover many, many heat output requirements.

Electric Power and Controls Cabinet

Our standard control panel ( X control panel)  set up on our electric boilers is intgeral to the electric boiler,is a fully Modbus type and includes:

• Frost protection system – if the water temperature drops below 7C – the boiler automatically starts to raise the water above 7C and prevent freezing.
• Inputs:Two temperature sensors connections – one for connecting an external temperature sensor for weather compensation, the other is for an immersion sensor for control and production of sanitary grade hot water, via an indirect commercial hot water cylinder. Both of these optional sensors are available from us.Remote
• On/off signalSafety thermostats switch off.
• 0-10 Volt analogue signal for set point temp or percentage of power output
• Outputs: 
• 0-10V temperature signal or percentage of power (power steps)
• Error signal

The Modbus TCP protocol uses an RJ45 connection and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), a client/server protocol that automatically assigns an IP address to an Internet Protocol (IP) host, along with other relevant configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway.

Accessories for our electric industrial boilers

Essential accessories required for our boilers are a water flow switch or pressure switches or a combined hi / low pressure switch to protect the boiler from low (1 Bar) or high (6 Bar maximum) pressure,pressure saftey valve set at 6 Bar,and a drain valve.

These can be fitted into the heating system, or alternatively the boilers have connections on them for this equipment.

Accessories required for our electric industrial boilers

Replacing a gas or oil fired boiler

Yes, it’s not an issue to replace your existing heating system boilers, with an electric boiler, you just need to have the Amps required on a three phase electricity supply to power these boilers.
