electric steam boiler

Residential electric steam boilers convert electrical energy into heat that is then transferred to heating transmitters (radiators, underfloor heating etc) or used to generate hot water. These boilers are very popular due to their low cost and environmental benefits. They are often used in homes, schools and hospitals and offer a great alternative to traditional gas or oil boilers.

They are operated exclusively with electricity in accordance with the power-to-heat principle and do not require flue gas components or chimneys, thereby saving on investment costs and installation time. In addition, they do not produce any environmentally harmful flue gases. The resulting compact, light design with high insulation is ideal for integration into the building envelope and saves space in the boiler house.

Thanks to the energy-efficient heat-to-steam ratio, the Electric Steam Boiler Singapore has an impressive operating efficiency. This translates to significantly lower operational and maintenance costs. In addition, the electric boiler can be supplied with electricity at night-time rates which are substantially cheaper than conventional fuel-based power.

This helps industrial/commercial operators control energy costs without having to resort to costly fossil-fuel alternatives or curtail production. Furthermore, it can be used as a backup in the event of an unexpected breakdown or malfunction.

Viessmann offers a wide range of electric boiler systems that operate exclusively with electricity and therefore do not use any fossil fuels. This solution makes it possible to achieve significant climate protection goals and economic savings at the same time.

These electric steam boilers are based on the power-to-heat principle and use surplus electricity to generate saturated steam or heat. They are equipped with flanged heaters known as cartridge heaters that are connected to the boiler via connectors. The heating cartridges are designed to withstand a high degree of mechanical stress and corrosion. This allows the system to utilise production peaks in electricity production ecologically and economically and to ensure maximum energy efficiency at all times.

All electric steam and hot water boilers from Viessmann are available in numerous sizes – with a range of different output levels, stainless steel construction and ATEX configuration. They are all delivered with feed water tank, water treatment and control panel pre-piped and wired to allow quick and easy installation on site.

Electric boilers are also a good choice for locations where noise or smoke emissions are a concern, such as hospitals. Viessmann’s rental electric boilers come in compact and mobile designs and are rated in kilowatts versus BHP or BTU rating.

For customers that want to take their green initiatives further and are interested in using renewables, Bosch has a complete range of systems with 100 per cent hydrogen or biofuels as well as hybrid solutions. These allow users to model their steam and heat supply in a carbon-neutral manner depending on the infrastructure and individual requirements. Find out more here.
