Hot water boilers

A hot water boiler produces pressurised water above 110 °C without evaporation, for district heating, industrial and energy systems.

Hot water boilers produce hot water for industrial, energy and district heating systems. Every boiler is designed and built to the required capacity, fuel type, operating parameters and the investor's requirements.

Hot water boilers

Capacity, pressure, temperature, materials, fuel, equipment and configuration are defined by the investor's technical requirements and the specific project.

Difference between solid fuel and biomass boilers

The differences between solid fossil fuel boilers and biomass boilers lie mainly in the grate design, the distribution of primary and secondary combustion air, the arrangement of combustion zones and the fuel feeding systems. Because biomass differs in composition, moisture content and combustion behaviour, the furnace and the combustion process are designed around the chosen fuel.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a hot water and a warm water boiler?

A hot water boiler produces pressurised water above 110 °C and is intended for district heating and industry; a warm water boiler works up to 110 °C and is used for building heating and processes with lower temperature requirements.

Where are hot water boilers most often used?

In urban and industrial district heating plants, energy centres, the chemical, food and paper industries, hospitals and large business complexes — wherever stable hot water for distribution networks is needed.

Shell or water-tube hot water boiler, which to choose?

A shell boiler (EN 12953) is the economical choice for small and medium capacities. A water-tube boiler (EN 12952) is chosen for higher outputs, higher temperatures and more demanding regimes, e.g. heating plants with large networks.

Can a hot water boiler run on biomass?

Yes. The MAG-V and RTPKT-V models are designed for wood chips, pellets, straw and other solid fuels, with automatic fuel feeding and de-ashing.

What equipment comes with a hot water boiler?

Circulation and recirculation pumps, expansion vessel, safety and control fittings, automation, an economiser where required, and water treatment. We can deliver the complete boiler house.
